When I went on a tour of the facilities Neita mentioned that at one stage a long-time-coming new machine was installed at the Junction Oval and that corner of the gym subsequently became known as the Lexus corner.

Obviously the players perceived themselves as the poor cousins of the pies, and rightly so.

They now have no excuses and can hold their head high as true professional athletes.

I gotta say, I think there'd also be an associated mental hurdle involved, just knowing that every other team has an advantage over you.

Thank heavens those days are gone.

edit: disclaimer - I did not mean to insinuate that the players were related to collingwood players or supporters.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Joel Hocking has full guard, but it's sloppy. Needs to control Cale's head so he doesn't posture up and start droppin bombs...

Awesome!

Joel should go for a high gaurd and just throw elbows from the bottom, that's what I would do B)

Nah Joel is just sucking him in so when Cale postures up for the ground and pound, he can just whip up a leg, trap the arm and secure the triangle choke Anderson Silva style... :):blink:

Doesn't have wrist control either , elbows and hammer fists should get the job done .

Cale might consider trapping the arm and moving to side mount to secure the Anaconda choke....otherwise, if he finds the ground and pund ineffective, he can always consider the kimora!

Cale would be better off letting him up so they can trade blows on their feet where he can use his reach to advantage.

He'd probably get taken down too easily though and his ground defense would be embarrassingly bad.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
