Unfortunately, AFL footy will always be too hot for Jack Watts.

What would you know mate?

Play much AFL yourself or just like bringing down the future of the club?

The title of the thread should begin "Herald-Sun Falsely reports Gysberts" etc.

I'm sick of the media trying to tear us apart .

they get it wrong so often and still keep a job .

Fair enough mate. Didn't mean to jump down your throat BTW.

Biffen, keep your humour intact - you and I both know that the old 'played AFL footy, have ya?' is tired and simplistic.

You didn't stuie, no worries. I love talking footy with you.

Not really-in my limited experience I'd rather have a guy like Watts on the team than not.

Anyhow-jokes are fine but Watts jokes on here are tired and simplistic also.

Nope. Compared to last nights game, battlers.

Mitch Clark attacks the contest with authority. There is a huge if subtle difference.

Mitch Clarke yes, but is it Nature or Nurture.

Is it Mitch himself or did he learn the Leigh Matthews/Brisbane Lions attitudes, or is it a combination of the Matthews attitudes + recruiting a young Clarke who has a Zeal for the 'Contest', in the first place.

If it started with Clarkes 'Nature' before drafting,,,, how much is it then, the Environment of nurturing this combative personality thru a healthy Club Environment, which Encourages it's boys to play 'Rough', without fear of silent condemnation from within some sectors of the support base???

Gysberts isn't perfect, but he clearly has talent.

I am more than happy to get rid of players who have been in the system for ages and failed, but Gysberts has plenty of time on his side and with glimpses of usable talent, it would be a lazy and soft option to get rid of him.

Neeld has to back himself to make something of these sorts of kids, otherwise what sort of coach is he?

The kind that realizes it's much easier to find people with the right attitude than make them.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
