tacky, lacking class and a slight on neils character is how i see alot of the above comments.

take the man on his word, you have no reason not to.

he has and still does have the clubs best interests at heart.

the players should take some inspiration from neils selfless act and truely show what they keep saying about him.

wouldn't surprise me if they play gutsy, hard football till the end of the year.

read the post above yours.

CAC is a bit different, he's not an assistant coach, more of a manager.

Why do some assistants only get one year contracts but Fagan gets more?

Fagan had his contract extended along with CAC pre-season.

They could easily do the selections.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTO you two. You've had your fun. :rolleyes: <_<

The only BIG query I have over Voss is the fact that he's going to need a couple of years to REALLY get up to speed AT LEAST! If ANYTHING can be done to get past that teething period I'd like to see that it's pursued. If he can learn as MUCH as possible about coaching, and MFC's list such as it is, then I want us to go after him with everything we have.

If he's recruited after round 22, then I'd suggest we are going to have another disgraceful year in 2008.

But of course, the fact that he's still listed at Brisbane means the point is moot.

'So he contijnues to play favourites...'

i've never been that confident of myself to say i really know what goes on with the footy dept. or how they think.

it obviously appears to some people that there are some favourites; there very well could be.

but i wouldnt be so arogant to say there are and it's a bad thing with out knowing the reasons why.

fill me in.

It wouldn't suprise me at all to see Neil at the helm in Freo next year, I'm gutted to loose him the club will suffer without him and I can see things getting a lot worse before they get better, new coaches aren't a silver bullett, you only need to look at Richmond, Terry Wallace (how he escapes scruitiny is beyond me), St kilda, Carlton and these are only current examples.

Lets focus on actually finding a coach first (we are not making 2 minutes noodles!) and let someone who has served the Club well over long period of time finish with some dignity.

Well said Rhino

Anyone in favour of Demonland taking over selection till the end of the season?

I can see Newton pretty much captaining the side for 10 rounds if that was the case! :lol:

Please, please not brownlowbruce

We'd have Mclean playing in sandringham and Miller / Bruce joint captains.

But i guess we'd get the number one draft pick at seasons end 100% :lol:

Sorry Dan, I'll be careful that it won't happen again ;) !!!

Tony Jones said on Ch.9 that there is no guarantee that Daniher will coach beyond the Essendon game on Friday.

I hope for the club's sake that he does.

totally agree jaded, if he does not coach beyond friday night ..... our club will be in even more dissaray....then yeah...

so did danniher get sacked or he said that he wanted to walk... just want to make sure of the facts ....

ND admitted as much last year regarding Yze.

Depends how they perform next couple of rounds, if the wheels fall off completely perhaps he should go, but my general feeling is to stay till the end of the year. If he goes early put the assistant coach in to do the job, that is what they did in 96 when Neil Balme went, Greg Hutchieson did the job (and did it pretty well as I recall).

Tony Jones is a ####wit, he knows nothing about what's ahppening behind the scenes of clubs, he just makes comments to try and get his name in the papers.

Calm down.

I'm only passing on the information. :blink:

Has anyone noticed that Tony Jines does'nt cover football anymore...apart from anchoring the sports news, he's now a liestyle and human interest reporter. This is for a reason - hes never played footy is'nt involved in the "inner sanctums" at clubs, yet attempts to emulate craig hutchinson by being inflamatory and trying to break 'big' strores which are usually storms in teacups and invariably dont eventuate. Pual Gardiner is holding a press conference tomorrow midday.

Hopefully the conference goes something like this:

"We'd like to thank Neale for his services... bla bla bla"

"We're now looking into prospective coaches...bla bla bla"

"We won't be making anymore comments until a coach has been found...bla bla bla"

"Oh, and Chris Connolly will most certainly NOT be given an interview"

Please oh god somebody put me out of my misery about this Chris Connolly thing.

I'm now barracking for Freo to make the finals. Go Freo go! <_<

'ND admitted as much last year regarding Yze.'

what did he say and what was his reasoning behind that?

If it's what I'm thinking of it was along the lines of Yze being a matchwinner - a guy you stick with because he can virtually win games for you.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
