Im sure everyone will be instructed as to whats expected of the team , and of them as individuals. Roles will be described and criteria of acceptance explained. At the moment all players are at the exact same point of their new Melbourne experience. I.e No one has played a game under Neeld yet. Players now all ...ALL, have to earn their spots. They will have to work just as hard if not harder to keep them as efforts and outcomes are better understood. Liam, just to suggest one, will not be exempt. No one will. A new day has dawned and some will see the sun and smile at the chance, others will wilt in the heat. Its about a team , not individuals.....that era is over

The essential I take out of much of what Neeld is saying /doing is simply this. He doesnt really care much about what was happening at MElbourne before he got there hes only focused on what WILL happen now he IS there. As rpfc suggests it will be others who wil clamber to make or invent comparisons for whatever motives drive them.

New Coaching motto : Go ahead, make my day !!

Neelds Blank Canvas yet more insights !! marvellous stuff

Hmm.. I wonder how the players all "feel " about this ?? then again...its time to stop feeling... and DO !!

We are Billy...we;re in the AFL ...by default were playing with them....what we werent doing is playing like them.

We're playing with the big boys now lads !!! time to act like it.

This is all about the reinforcement of the idea that a dog wags the tail.. Neeld>>> Woof !!! The lads are being instructed as to where the bar now sits. Brave new World !!! lol Good to see. Am sure many will rise to the challenge. Those that dont wont be around for long.

Demons are supposed to reside in Hell.......and now they do !!

or make or break a whole team

Hows it looking for a Banana smoothis now Red ??

I can heartily recommend a banana daiquiri !!!

I mean they dont even have a fair dinkum song that lot..sheeesh !

What the Freddie ClutterbUCK are you on about ?

Whilst theres not much to argue in all of that, as its quite right, how much weight might anyone give the acrimony and animosity between the MCC and the AFL. The former certainly doesnt like being ridden roughshot by the Vlad and Clowns. The AFL would be cermonioulsy screwed if unable to utilise the MCG in a manner it wanted. Whilst the MCC wouldnt probably effect any favouritism for us theyd more than likely be at loggerheads with anyone who sought to unfairly disadvantage us ( mfc ) esp as we are part of the MCC The MCC is very much about tradition.

to say nothng of putting a shot across Kennet's bow !!

I suspect all this will accomplish is a bigger pay check for Clarkson from Hawthorn.. Hope Clarko buys Gazza a few beers !!

Like ^ Lucky bugger.. But hey ..its really about Cadel. Fantastic effort and warmly deserved.

"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Vladimir that all players are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?"

One mighty stoush is looming !!!!

Strangely Vlads running with the notion that it's not just a case of it not being a conflict but that's it's actually IN the interest of the AFL and therefore all concerned ( after all Vlad knows best ) All hale Vlad , Vlad is good (god?) Big Brother-Vlad-Big Brother -Vlad , just can't tell them apart

Having grown in or around Beauie in my teens + I was astounded and saddened to recently pass the old girl ( Beauie Pub) and see it dormant . The Pav group killed it off it seems . Once a vibrant venue ... Could be again

i'll be quite happy if as good as any But I dont think we've even begun to see his star shine. When he can focus on footy and with a few more kilos ( more than the 7 he has apparently put on to date ) with more strength ,,he'll be just fine thankyou

that might just be the most astute observation of your's here ever YM !!

very much so.
