He looks happier at least. 

I assume Mike paid him with the right type of jelly beans for the interview.

    I already want to punch him. I know that’s irrational but he just makes me sooooo mad! 

    I know he had good intentions, but still a tool.

    I loved how they wanted to go young and invest in talent, yet [censored] up every draft pick. Lols. 

    God it’s good to be on the other side.

    Is so socially awkward, doesn’t get his opinion across clearly or accurately.  Clearly Cam and Gary just thought the complete opposite to Bayley was the answer.  ?‍♂️

    Its just the wrong time. Early next year would have been a bit better, there's no need to hear from this guy on the eve of the finals at all.

    Not a bad time because we dont need to hear from this fool again.

    He was concise and to the point to any soft question. 

    Anything negative and it was rambling on that led to nowhere.

    Hearing his side of the story, it seems like a lot of the direction was given to him by higher powers. Lyon, McLardy and Schwab hatched one of the worst plans in footballing history.

    Also, he believed the players basically voted in Grimes and Trengove.

    No Jack Watts questions.

    Seems unaffected by it all. At the end of the day he has a wife and kids and he is a person. I wish him well, so long as he stays the hell away from my club.

    Yep. Those three should be ashamed of themselves. Making decisions they had no business making. Ripping the heart of the club. Banishing senior players. Then completely effing up every draft pick. Disgraceful. 

    Three blind monkeys.

    He has chosen the perfect interview subject.

    Mike could have gone harder but it isn't a boxing match. He mentioned the 'going too hard' stuff but didn't really pursue it as much as he could.

    I still wonder how self aware he is after all these years. When he mentioned that CS was 'really supportive' and that he was adamant that they were on the right path, I wanted Mike to point out that CS's neck was on the line if Neeld were to fail. He was the one who helped facilitate the Bailey sacking, got the players who spoke out against him sacked  and drove Neeldy's appointment. Of course it was in his best interests to make people think everything was going swimmingly and for Neeld to stay on the track that he had prescribed. His answers in that regard overlooked a lot of history.

    It seemed to me that CS and Gaddy were calling the shots rather than him. 5 years on, the Gaz Man is still coming up with revolutionary solutions for struggling teams such as 'they didn't try hard enough' showing why he should be safely ignored.

    Did he give any indication he might go to another club like Richmond or Hawthorn for a season?

    Don't spend too much time sitting on the toilet Biff. You might be tempting fate if you share certain traits with one Aaron Elvis Presley.

    Open Mike with Mark Neeld

    it seemed like neeld had zero remorse for what he did at Melbourne, instead blaming the higher powers for not making clear the long term plan for the club and neeld continually suggesting the team was on the right track. is this idiot aware he is statistically the worst coach of melbourne in history?

    ....

    Agree. I think the interview brings home once again how on-field performance only comes on the back of club-wide behaviours, and you can never really lay the blame for failure or the credits for success at the foot of a single individual. Yes, after this we got Roos, but it was the changes on the admin and Board side that really started to steady the ship and put in place the foundations for what we see now.

    Yes, Neeld made some poor decisions, but so did many others around him at the time, and from the top down. Still, easy to say in hindsight.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
