Special mentions to Greg Denham, Mark McLure, Patrick Smith, Robert Walls, Grant Thomas and Mike Sheehan, but this award was never in doubt.

“Everyone is dancing around the issues - the whole football world - but I think someone just has to come out and say Melbourne has made a massive error as a club, appointing Mark Neeld as a senior coach,” King said on Fox Footy’s AFL Insider.

    Mark Stevens on TripleMMM was saying before the game how Melbourne supporters should be on the verge of microwaving their memberships, and that we didn't have a chance against GWS.

    It's only one win, but it was against the odds and against quality opposition - stick that in your pipe Stevo, you sensationalist tabloid [censored].

    Was it ever in doubt? The moment King opened his mouth I knew we had the right bloke.

    “Everyone is dancing around the issues - the whole football world - but I think someone just has to come out and say SEN and FoxFooty have made a massive error as media organisations, appointing failed Richmond Assistant Coach David King as a a footy expert,” Demoniac said on the Demonland forum..

    According to Fox, David King is one of footy's most astute minds and Dwayne Russell is the best caller in the game.. :mellow:

    Garry Lyon said it himself, I dont listen to King for more than 10 seconds

    Will b equally interesting to hear the Goose's response to THAT statement now?.................Errrrrr, gee i'm a goose!

  • Quote

    Maybe this week King will "just come out and say what everyone's been thinking about" a certain North Melbourne coach and football side? Maybe he should realise football is an up and down game, someone will almost always lose, 17 teams lose every year (from now on) so maybe don't make grand calls about the direction of football clubs you know sweet FA about.... Or maybe he'll just slam Ratten instead......

    Funny.

    I would love to see King's head superimposed on the goose's body, or perhaps even the goose holding a golden trophy, but alas I don't have the tech skills.

    Anyone?

    Close the books, a run away winner.

    What eveyone missed was why King did what he did. It was about deflecting the media away from the real story that week.

    North's abysymmal fade-out against the Power, and their lack of heart.

    What will be the story from King this week after the Launceston debacle yesterday Kingy?

    A second rate commentator if ever ther was one.

    No, Darcy just wins the totally arrogant DH award, I just cringe when he is the expert commentator (???????????) for the game. More than a goose just a total F...wit.

    Rubbish call from David King. He should apologise.

    Any other journalist who wrote off our year should also make some sort of correction. That includes Mike Sheahan and Mark Stevens. Anyone was entitled to say we were terrible (we still are 1-9, 16th, and not that good really). But when you say things like 'Neeld was the wrong choice' and 'they won't win a game for the year', you deserve to cop a bit back.

    Gerard Healy deserves a mention for claiming none of our young players would re-sign. GFS Gerard you 80's turncoat!

    Just goes to show you how few who get paid to commentate on football actually have valid insights or measured opinions.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
