Go and read what you wrote.

I'm not going to go into the rest of it - it is pointless. i too write stuff when I am angry and it is never a good idea.

I re-read it once and replied to your venting of frustration toward my posts.

That seems to be all it was, as next to nothing you were accusing me of saying was accurate.

"To see the change physically in his body and confidence. Within a six to eight-week period of when he got here, (the change) was dramatic, he's just come on. He was like a new recruit when he got here. Seriously he was skinny."

- Andrew Swallow rates Jordan Gysberts, today's H-Sun.

You can only put on a very small amount of muscle in 6-8 weeks. You can cut (a bit), which combined with a small amount of muscle growth can make you appear different, but in reality there wouldn't be much muscle gain.

I wonder if the attitude has changed substantially.

Rates him as what. I lloked for some praise in that quote and couldn't find any.

:) The article is entitled "Kangas on the Climb - Nth Melb captain Andrew Swallow rates the young guns"..... he just gives comments on about 10 young players on where they're at, Binman.

Such a shock that a skipper rates his new recruits. I could see our co jacks coming out and saying "that bloke um .... what's his name Pedo or something? Yeah he is a A grade spud"

Wait for the backlash if moloney wins a b&f, rivers gets an all Australian, Gysberts and petered play finals and pederson can't get a touch.

Yeah, but what is the chances of that happening?

Moloney was not buying in and we wish him well for his 8 years service, Rivers spent a decade at the club and deserved to go and find some glory in his last couple of years, and Gysberts was a skinny kid who wouldn't pull his finger out.

Neeld had enough trouble with trying to get the best out of his most talented players - he doesn't need to waste time on periphery project players like Martin, Morton and Gysberts.

Yes true, i was just being facetious.

However rates the the young guns doesn't necessarily mean he thinks they're any good and to be honest he seemed to be damning the Gys with faint praise - he was unbelievably skinny when he arrived, which really is largely (if not entirely) his fault.

Comments like he has come on dramatically smack a bit of a backhanded compliment and compared to his more effusive praise of other new recruits (he's hard at it, etc etc) a bit on the not so enthusiastic part of the how i rate my new team mate spectrum.

But to be honest i hope he does make it as an AFL player and that North can help him achieve that. Unlike some i would not see that as a knock on our development program. Footy is littered with people who have seized second chances and turned their attitude around.

I think in the interests of privacy, we need to be careful about mentioning names or innocent parties.

The fallout was mainly due to Bail challenging Gys to train the Neeld way and Gys resisted.

That is all.

Agree. Need to be mindful of privacy guys.

    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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
