Try a 'love-fest', Mick tells Dees





TRIPLE premiership coach Mick Malthouse says embattled Melbourne needs a ''love-fest'' to get its season going, suggesting his former assistant Mark Neeld erase all signs of negativity and focus on what has gone right during his ''horrendous'' initiation to coaching.
Malthouse, who acts as a mentor to Neeld, having nurtured his coaching career at Collingwood, fears the first-year coach could become consumed by the team's mounting deficiencies, and risks losing what little ground the Demons have made in the first eight rounds.

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

Malthouse seems really invested in how our club does as Neeld is basically his protégé. Wouldn't mind having him around but I'm not sure if he'd come. If anything else it'd fun to hear Eddie's reaction.

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

**** Eddie - Malthouse should be allowed to go wherever he wants. Hopefully he gives him some solid tips. Malthouse did wonders with a standard list and made his top picks into absolute stars.

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

We need to bring Malthouse to the MFC at the end of the season in an official role.

Has to be done.

Ironies of Melbourne being so crap

When you call radio stations ranting your head off you'll win prizes.

I'll never know why anyone would ring into a radio station to vent about football. What's the point?

The point was made earlier this year that the MFC gets evaded in relative terms on talkback since people don't call up about it. Ever since I have tried to ring up if the dees are a hot topic

I was going to PM & ask if that was you.

I think half of the Dees board posters were on SEN tonight.

I have never called up SEN to discuss the Dees but I'm tempted to do so today.

It's about time that our supporters called SEN en masse to say what they think about the crap that the players are dishing out. today was the first time where nearly every 2nd caller was a melbourne supporter. Do you think that we are better off just sitting back and not saying a word after the humiliating situation we have been put in by this playing group? should we just stay silent and be seen as accepting mediocrity by the football world?

he was 100% spot on. it was great to hear him not hold back on his assessment of our playing group

Re: Ironies of Melbourne being so crap

I would play that tape to all the players before the game against Carlton on Sunday, if a previous club great not just an every day football commentator is giving them a kick up the arse surely they will take it on board, if nothing changes after that senior players run around for casey and i wonder how many clubs will chance moloney if he is playing in the magoo's.

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

I would like to see Neeld and the rest of the coaches during the bye rounds take the boys away and do some sort of bonding session. Go paintballing, fishing, army camp (war simulations, where they have to depend on each other to succeed) just try something that wil make these boys bond and have some fun because at the moment the look like robots going through the motions not enjoying what they are doing.

Re: Ironies of Melbourne being so crap

Great stuff from the Ox. Agree with everything he says.

Re: Ironies of Melbourne being so crap

The ox hit it on the head. If I was Neeld, I'd swing the axe and play the younger players who want to make it at AFL. It would really send a message to many senior players.

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

Anyone else feel like Malthouse is Homer and Neeld is his Little Brother Pepe and he's doing it for spite?

 

[Cudi_420]

Re: Try a 'love-fest'.

Malthouse has said that because, quite obviously, there have been issues among the playing group and coaching team.

Why else would he say it?

Would this be a live fire exercise? Because I'd be happy to chip in for the cost.

Could be a good exercise to brighten the mood of the players and improve the feeling amongst the coaches/players; though if the players really don't like Neeld and the new coaches, they could wind up with a lot of bruises at the end of the day.

Only if we can fire the rounds. Would sure make some of the players change from a trot to a gallop.

Re: Ironies of Melbourne being so crap

Ox was real riled up. Think he was struggling to keep it PG. All of it correct, sadly.
