Mega Thread The Mark Neeld Mega-Thread

[buddyruff]

You have to feel for Melbourne supporters. They finally get a week free from football and its associated bad news but still it keeps following them around.

I don't see how this is bad news.

 

[THRILLHO]

CEO gone.
President gone.
Coach gone.

They should change the theme song to The Rains of Castamere down there.

 

[Duritz]

I called this last week, was saying to a mate that I thought his job was in danger.

Your name is not Nostradamus is it?

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

Yeah, mate.

That's the polite way of saying he has been asked to clear out his desks before midday or the hounds will be released.

EFA

 

[Bluelegs]

That football club makes our last 30 years look great.

Yeah, if you forget about the 28 before the past two

 

[Plugger35]

NOOOOOOO!!! We play them this week!

Yeah typical.

Melbourne will be fired up and play out of their skins now.

Always happens.

 

[the big lebowski]

So effectively Melbourne is asking the AFL to payout Neeld's contract?

That's the best post in this thread by a long way.

Proof or STFU.

 

[le dominateur]

Odd timing, why wait till after the bye.

Took a week for the AFL cheque to clear.

 

[Bluelegs]

Anyone defending neeld should try watching our games.

Absoluteluy disgraceful and disgusting decision by the Demons. They wonder why they have been poor for so long and it is the raft of rash short term decisions such as these. There have been other cancers at the club such as Schwab (others behind the scene such as Lyon) that have damaged the club and the ability for Neeld to function effectively.

I feel ssorry for Neeld as the shit loser culture at Melbourne has wrecked his coaching career and ability due to the long standing dysfunctional programs at Melbourne well before he was appointed. This reminds me exactly of Wayne Brittain and Carlton. It is no wonder Melbourne are an absolute joke. I hope they fail for longer and realise that there are others at the club who need to either put up or shut up as they are causing the problems like David Schwarz and Garry Lyon. The club has little to no integrity at the moment.

Neeld had to go, as do those who appointed him. Surely there's an alternative ticket of capable Melbourne people (not Kennett) who want to tip out the current regime and do things properly?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Seems strange to do this now. Why this week and not two weeks ago? Or were they waiting on confirmation from the AFL that they will subsidise Neeld's exit fee before going through with it?

I'd say that Jackson got the approval for his plan over the weekend to rebuild Melbourne, with the AFL tipping in some money to help pay out the current coach.

So Neeld is responsible for the poor recruiting of players over the past 4 to 5 years?

 

[Smoky]

Anyone defending neeld should try watching our games.

No thanks

 

[TheOz]

Should have gotten the sack much much earlier. Hope they can get someone decent in to help them rebuild properly. Also think Bailey got done based on a knee jerk reaction to one massive loss.

Stopped watching once Bailey was sacked

His job has been in danger since the Essendon game..

 

[neroblack]

CEO gone.
President gone.
Coach gone.

So who actually made the call to fire the coach?

[Kickit2brown]

Do people think a new Coach is going to fix Melbourne's problems?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Gerald Healy called this a month ago, Neeld had till Queens Birthday to show improvement.

 

[Cory]

Anyone defending neeld should try watching our games.

So Neeld is to blame for players not trying in games or putting near to no effort at all? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
