I kind of expected them to be a bit better. Probably because I believe all the optimistic lunatics talking about their teams prospects on the main board every offseason

Every club needs a pessimistic lunatic like Danster to bring some perspective.

, Horne-Francis, Greenwood, McKay, Zurhaar, Zerri are all decent players with some upside. Will Phililps and Tom Powell are two highly-rated young midfielders who haven't played at all this year too, who should get better luck. If Cunnington comes back that's also a huge win.

A good coach should get their team playing above their individual talents - if North got Clarko, for example, I could see them winning 6 games next year and improving from there.

Interesting to see Choco overwhelmingly leading the poll on the Norf board for who they want as next coach.

Really weird imo, perfect development coach as proven with us but no way could he be a senior coach again. Strange tbh

Would be a disaster but interesting to watch from a safe distance

Yeah it's funny hey, he was languishing in the VFL for years before Goodwin threw him a lifeline, and he's literally running kicking drills at the Dees.

Now he's a senior coach in waiting, I love it.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Hopefully Choco poaches Dunstan and Weid from us.

 

[El Gringo]

Some serious amnesia in here. Neeld got 32 and we all wanted him gone. North have been belted every week.

North have luckily never had the misfortune of a Neeld. Nobody did as badly before and has ever done since, he was an exception that shouldn’t be a marker point for aspiring coaches.

As bad as noble, Waters, primus and Bolton all have been, even statistically, nothing is comparable with neeld.

Neeld indirectly recruited a whole heap of players either second chance, or mature age. Guys desperate for their shot and to prove they could perform at the highest level, and he sucked the life out of even them. And that's not including the guys that had just been through baileys years.

I don't know what happened at essendon when he went there either, but a mate of mines brother played there the same era, and he described him as "a ****ing nutcase".

There were whispers before the team had even played a game under him of confusion and players being a bit off side, I remember thinking surely he can't be that bad ... how wrong I was.

 

[El Gringo]

I still remember him saying after he was sacked he wouldn’t change a single thing, everything went according to plan. Straight up loco.

Hopefully Choco poaches Dunstan and Weid from us.

And gives us 2 second rounders for them.

Moneyball man. Just needed more time to let them click as a team and the premierships would roll in. Sacked too early. If they had persisted like Richmond with Dimma there's no doubt we would have had multiple flags since then. Weak admin killed us.

 

[jhong]

Neeld wanted us to play the Pies game plan with out realizing we didn't have the pies players . It didn't work !! (Surprise , surprise ). Imagine if his Clarke and Dawes forward line had worked. Instead we got those two not playing a game together .
Its a fine line between pleasure and pain !!

 

[Tulip]

Wonder why our players didnt give Neeld the same send off? Almost like they didnt respect him.

Who says they knew Neeld was leaving before his final game?

 

[Topkent]

Kangas had to sack him because they were playing way way below their talent level or year. Game against the pies proved how much better they could have been.

However head in the sand if they think it's all his fault, the list management was a disgrace an they did him no favours at all.

I knew mid way through 2012 that Maloney wanted out because of neeld and Maloney bled red and blue. Surprised Watts stayed at the club, but I suppose that was after neeld was sacked.

Neeld beat Essendon when they were 2nd on the ladder. Who cares?

Wasn't that they year they were taking performance enhancing drugs too?

Go Dees!

Started in 2011 when Hird became coach and bomber thompson came in just by chance, he was looking at cars near windy Hill apparently. Anyway bomber was the man who introduced the club to Dean Robinson whom he worked with at Geelong and the rest is history.

more turnovers since I spoke. A lesson in butchering the footy, most of the time under no pressure or after a mark.

 

[Daemon]

Saints making Dogs look like Harlem Globetrotters. Both sides ain't doing much in September.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Saints look absolutely horrible. I think the 8 is settled.

 

[Daemon]

Weightman doing what he does best, overplaying for the free.
