You can get laughed at on this topic as well hahahaha........it will not turn around instantaneously, how do we afford a great coach if we have to pay out most of the Footy Dept?

Have you watched Blease lately, unfortunately he has the same malaise as others, doesn't run both ways, Strauss has been playing, but went with a taller line last weekend You contradicted yourself, you have the forward line as Clark, Dawes and Hogan, then complain about mids, if the young guys are allowed time to develop, we will have a midfield that can compete

2 part question So assume that if Neeld is released in the next two weeks or so and it is not Roos, what will your reaction be and how long will you give whoever it is Or If it is Roos and the results stay the same until the end of the season, what will your reaction be and how long will you give Roos Given that whoever it is, and unless we are going to do a Ross Lyon, will have been out of senior coaching for at least a year, and the game has changed again in that time

Er yes, because I actually talk to them in other situations as well, I just don't publicize it coz I ge accused of big noting myself by the less self confident poster on here So you are best mates with who?

Actually it's not daylight, it's four points, one win would fix that daylight Brand, schmand, did you read Nineteen's post, 23 signed on again last night, so the brand can't be that damaged, agree it is a small number, but the numbers add up So what is your suggestion, get rid of Neeld and install who?.....a interim coach like Todd Viney till the end of the season, no offence to Tood but his previous record isn't great, install one of the assistant coaches, if so which one? or are they tarnished as well Are we going to get rid of Neil Craig and the assistants, if so we will have to pay out at least six contracts, what money will that leave for hiring a new Coach, or do you think Roos will work for free? Is the playing list going to be sacked and a new 46 come in next week?, agreed with a new coach with the attached euphoria, we may snag a win, but these are the same players who everybody is bagging, you expect immediate change do you? Healy is the next cab of the rank of media pundits who have put their two bob's worth in, if he knows something I hope we are going to remove his brother from the Board immediately for leaking confidential information

You sound like a broken record, nothing but negativity, suggest a fix now and again, ok the passion has gone, how do we get it back? The players did not refuse to run, they were overwhelmed, you need to ask why and how we fix it?

Click....sssss....click....sssss...click.....ssss........

PM24, excellent post (thought I'd shout it, seeing that others are getting loud as well)

For somebody who doesn't like to be misquoted you do a good job of doing the same. This topic is "Neeld is not the problem". Some of us (me) don't believe that Neeld is the sole reason for the predicament we are in at the moment This topic was meant to discuss the pros and cons Do we think if we get a 'name' coach in the next week or so the situation will dramatically change? Maybe, perhaps not But I am also a realist, personally I don't think getting rid of the coach half way through a season will achieve anything, but this doesn't mean the Club won't do it If it occurs, I won't be happy, but I will support the Club's decision But I will also make my feelings known by email and at the next AGM

I have and not one of the current players has told me they hate him, but if you want to be that way, feel free

I take it with what you have written, you have absolutely no idea what occurred with Jurrah and Wonna, suggest you need to go and spend some time in indigenous communities, may give you a bit of a better understanding Also you seem to have a rather skewed view of the military, watched too many movies I suppose, take it from me (15 yrs) that what you say about turning into robots is completely and totally wrong, but hey it doesn't stop you posting does it

I can give you some help with the tests and exams if you want, stop worrying about me for a start and stay off Demonland, that should free up some time, I didn't realise you were a modern student, but that's all right there is no need to apologise, you going to contribute to a topic for a change when you get the chance...........

Gee bloke hope you are talking about yourself there, I have fulltime job, love going to see bands, can recommend a few restraurants for you,.....but spend a couple of hours once a weekend supporting my team....it is only footy...sorry forgot also go to training some Saturday mornings before brunch on Swan St........think you will find it is loyalty with most who would not consider not going

Thought you weren't going anyway, not going to get me that easy, tell you what if you have paid your membership and you have a reserved seat, donate it to someone who can't afford to go to the games, the Club could help you with that

It's be great nice to see you back darling, how long you gonna last this time

No if Neeld is relieved of his duties by the Club, because I support the Club, I will support that decision, at the moment he is the Coach. Delusional again - you really are Caroline aren;t you, come on you can be truthful with me

What and miss Hawthorn trying to tear us a new one?......never

Do you see Don in your dreams WYL, did he run over your pet rabbit? Imagine those naughty opposition players sledging, whatever is the world coming to

Change = you not posting

Well played sir, it is not old fashioned, just shows who has a pair and who doesn't, Supporters - wouldn't know the meaning of the word

You really do need to improve either your reading or comprehension skills because they are sadly lacking when it comes to reading my posts. Everything is not hunky dory, that is plainly obvious, but what I said was I have observed Neeld and his coaching, at training, on the telly, speaking to players, speaking to other coaches, speaking to other watchers of footy......what he is doing is no different to the other 17 coaches at the moment and 10 or so of them are not having the problems we are having. I have also watched/talked/listened/observed the players at both training and other occasions and then on game day. There is a problem with game day, but my belieif is the issue lays with the players, not that they disrespect Neeld or won't play for him, but the fact that they wilt under the slightest pressure and the on field leadership we require is at the moment not good enough Every issue we have is fixable, experience and battle hardended bodies will stop the wilting and the on field leadership will sort itself out as well, we haven't had consistency there either, the only three real constants have been Jones, Garland and Frawley and they have been the most consistent......Trengove, McKenzie, Byrnes, Dawes have all missed games this season for one reason or another Will a new coach be able to fix these problems, personally I don't think so, we will still be inexperienced , we may sneak a win through the sheer euphoria but then fall off the cliff again I just want the hysteria to die down and the realisation as to where we are sink in, we have the second most inexperienced list in the AFL, so we are exactly where modern football dictates we are. Do you really think I enjoy going to the footy to watch us being smashed er no, but I also realise that this is just footy, and if everybody just stands thick with the Club we will get through it, as per my above, find some of the supporter board content from the Cats from 2000 to 2004, you will see what I mean And please get over your McLardy fixation, as far as I can remember he was playing that day at Skilled And also you are not inside the Club on a day to day basis so the only odour your olfactory system is picking up is from some of the more punget posts on this board. Thanks also for reading my posts and continually respond to them when you say you don't read them

This was covered in another topic, that is a simplistic view, nobody knows what is going on inside the Club, what I have observed of Neeld he is not doing anything different from any of the other coaches I have observed over the years, so therefore there is no reason not to respect him or his philosophies If you are looking for an example and the mindset of the players, have a read about Geelong between 2000 and 2004, that turned only because Costa had the balls to stand by Bomber Thompson as he worked through all the issues they had.

If you don't think Sheedy is coaching GWS, then you haven't watched the vision during the games they have played in

Sheedy coaches GWS - young team building with a few retirement age players, no wins this season...er Eade - could not win a flag with the Bulldogs Ratten - could not coach a team full of No 1 draft picks to a flag Roos and Williams have already been covered above...........the playing list can't be swapped over with the coach

I would agree with most of that, the main point being I am of the same opinion, no matter the coach I think the problems are too many at the moment for a quick fix
