Daniher Should Walk

Featured Replies

Posted

Chairman Paul Gardner said Daniher would coach till the end of the season 'come what may'.

There is no way Daniher should be permitted to lead this team for the rest of the season after that display. It was embarrassing.

I had never left so early as I did tonight. I haven't seen the current scores and I just don't care.

Absolutely pathetic.

 

Walk all the way to the top of the Westgate Bridge mod edit.

FCS I am just so angry - why, why, why??????????????

What the hell is wrong with the club??????

Gardiner should take the walk with ND I reckon.

How could he even consider reappointing ND???????????????????????????

Prediction: Membership will slump to <10K if he is reappointed.

I have no interest in watching another football game this season...

I have actually never seen less effort put in by the players, nor have I seen a more inept structure from the coaching staff.

What was on display tonight was designed solely to lose support for the club.

 

I have been a Daniher supporter, but he has losing me tonight. Unfortunately Im not sure if it is him or the players

All of Jades Fav's have been nowhere tonight, Brock I think only had about 2 Posi's to Half time.

Too harsh on Gardnier. Hes a buisnessmen, not apart of the football department and has been doing a fine job. Danners should of left at half time.


Just looking at ND on TV - looks like a rabbit in the spotlight - unfortunately the analongy ends there as the rabbit usualy succumbs immediately, and incidentally doesn't drag down his whole "family" ie the MFC and supporters, with him.

GO!!!

LEAVE!!!

I hope the players are booed from the ground...

I cannot believe what they dished up.

Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way...

Does Daniher want to go? Does he want to join Essendon? Has he now lost all interest in Melbourne?

How they could have not gone man on man earlier in the game is simply astounding. Is there something going on?

 

Some of the posts on this thread are "Dumb", mainly from emotion.

I agree with much of the sentiment however I cannot agree that as a football club our sole goal was to "lose support for the club". Dumb comment.

The comments regarding Paul Gardner taking the walk are "dumb". Paul is a fantastic chairman and is doing a pretty good job in his department.

Dumb comment.

Dumber football, dumber coaching.

I agree with the title though, goodbye Neale.

The comment about losing support needs to be read more 'it seemed as though..."...

Fair enough.

How should I read this attack on the integrity of Neale Daniher? Does Daniher want to go? Does he want to join Essendon? Has he now lost all interest in Melbourne?

will his excuse be "Sometimes as a coach i suck!"

YES, YES YOU DO!

the first half was insipid, lifeless and no effort was put in by anyone.

retarded football by a retarded coach

You should read it as it sounds...

I'm questioning him.

Way too harsh on Gardner Mono. You can't blame him for the coaching performance tonight.

I'm sure he's spending restless nights right now over ND's coaching tenure or potential replacement.

However give him his due. Gardner's got the club back into some sort of black considering our previous debt and he's working hard at cementing us as one of the key Melbourne/Australian sporting clubs with a stronger identity and better home base than we currently have. The "group of Melbourne sporting clubs" announced last week is a positive move.

What else would you expect Gardner to do? Sack the coach now?

Smells like teen spirit? Sorry, smells like St Kilda.

ND may go. Believe it or not, Gardner and the board will make the decision at the end of the season.

Hold your breath.

if he had any dignity or any feelings for the club like he and the players suggest he would leave now.....

a more pathetic effort i have not seen.....but i was expecting it..said to my brother at 6.45pm when we got to the game...that i could see us getting thrashed...why??...becuase we won two game sina row and they were talking about finals...thats after 9 losses..only pathetic leadership does that


Amazing that the players seem to have got off scott free.

When we play well its the players when we play badly its the coach.

This sort of debacle runs right through the Club. Its interesting that the coach takes all the dive.

rhino for me the players havent got off scott free, i just havent had the time to rant about them yet

but our game plan (or lack of) was so far off the mark it was insane, holland should never had played on richo, we let them have 2 loose defenders for ages, green and bruce in the back pocket at the same time! i mean if teams want to drag bruce and green back there ND should tell them to stay in the middle and for them to pick up the FP player who moves up the ground, richmond did what we did to the pies with the huddle and we put out no wide player and they got it away so easy.

Yeah - mea culpa.

But IF Gardiner reappoints ND then I will revisit this post.

Just bloody frustrated by what little he is able to get out of what I truly beleive is a top rate group.\ of players. Pity we don't get to see our younger forwards though - Dunn, out of form from being played out of position; Garland given about 30 minutes game time v Sydney in his only game, playing in a team out of confidence and spirit; Newton, who?????

ND - take a trip to a Sandy game and open your eyes.

What concerns me is that his knee jerk reaction will be to reinstate Miller regardless of his form, and carrry on with those who will never win us a flag. FCS he even named Brown as an emergency?? Great forward vision that.

maybe we could pick up chris connolly next year and get even less out of them. seriously though, is there anyone out there who is likely to get the gig?

The players should get a LOT of the blame.

For me to sit at a game and actually wonder what the hell is going on with Brock McLean, well that is just unheard of.

I was thrilled to see him toss the coin, and it went horribly down hill from there.

I blame Daniher solely for selecting an unfit Yze ahead of the 3 tall forwards he had at Sandringham. I also blame him for not making Richmond's loose man accountable for half the match.

I blame him for letting Godfrey get so much of the ball then turning it over.

I blame him for the forward structure, and his persistence with PJ who cannot mark to save himself.

What I don't blame him for is players not hitting targets, players not chasing, players showing NOTHING. Not even our best player and future leader in Brock McLean was in any way, shape or form impressive tonight, but this is his first poor game at the club... how many poor performances have Neale put it?

I am gutted. Getting smashed by Richmond... it does not get any lower than that.

......

Great post Jaded and I share your fury.

I'll puke if I hear one of senior list players trot those banal comments of showing leadership and working hard as a team. No of them should utter another word. Its only actions on the field that count. And most of them have a low low score when the heat is on.

Waited until 11pm on 774 waiting for his press conference - didn't show!!

I guess he has said "didn't come to play"...."outmarked".."outplayed" etc so many times that he had nothing to add.

Has he ever even once admitted to being outcoached or outsmarted, or outslected??????

 

Listening to Dermie at half time on SEN. Was saying that this is the type of game the board will look at unfavourably when decision time comes about NDs future. Not only losing to Richmond with a good side in, but getting pumped.

The board must know If ND is reappointed that membership numbers will drop.

There is only one answer, and we all know what that is.

Time to go ND

We had our slump this year, we got players back and we won a couple of games and lost a couple we should have won, but we put in, but not tonight, this was a defining game showing MFC's lack of ticker and its time to say , enough is enough, if you serve that crap up, then the coach has to go, if not are we condoning that insipidness.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
