The only positive from Neeld's time was that we knew for certain where rock bottom was and that the only way we could head from there was up.

Jeepers, what a great bit of click bait.  I had to read it to understand what the hell old mate was going to put a spin on that time.

If Neeld was key to bring Jason Taylor across then ok, I'll pay some credit there as JT has done a fine job.

Not even sure if there is proof that he was a/the reason JT came across but well done on one thing positive out of his disastrous tenor.

I didn't feel we were rock bottom to be honest - I felt like they were going to close the doors and the MFC would cease to exist with the club in turmoil.  We're so incredibly lucky the AFL stepped up to the plate.  

That would have been rock bottom.

There was only one bit of brightness in Mark Neeld's coaching and that was the 2012 match against Essendon when we were bottom and they were top, and we won.

It wasn't just bad, it was horrendous

there were quite a few on Demonland who were supporters of Neeld...

This is another example of why Twitter is the cesspit of the internet.

An unmitigated disaster if EVER there was one! Any else seen the cringworthy round 1 Vision of Neelds pre match player rev up and post match "Didn't see that comin" Footage??


It was every bit as bad. Our bad memories of that period have been softened by last year (at long, long last).

Many would have had the experience I had. My 2 boys flatly refused to come to the football over that time - no amount of bribery would budge them. We risked losing a large part of a generation of teenage supporters.

It was only the lure of upcoming MCC membership that kept them remotely interested - and it was very remote.

Funnily enough all is now forgiven with them but we should never risk that debacle happening again

Rohan Connelly?

The guy can't string two words together. He's the thinking man's Mike Carlton. They shouldn't be allowed alcohol.

 

I have what’s called ‘dissociative PTSD’ about our 2012-13 seasons. I know on some level I was at the G when Essendon beat us by 148 points but every time I try to picture it all I see is me living in Provence for those 2 years, wearing a beret, and cycling down each morning to pick up a baguette. It’s very civilised.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
