I started twitching my eye at the headline. 

and i started urgently looking for a bucket

 

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
