Just happy to have someone in the side with a real nickname rather than just adding a 'y' to the surname.

Have to agree with you LDVC - I'm not sure that bully works as well!

Our last "Bull" went alright. Garry "Bull" Baker won a B&F.

If we do, can we make sure Lewis gives him a broken jaw and Hogan gives him concussion?

Thanks rusty nails, seems like he has what it takes, hope he goes ok. I will be at the game tomorrow and hope he goes ok. No walking on water required. Just ok will do.

Didn't Luke Tapscott go by Bull too?

His career highlight was probably breaking Rhys Shaw's ribs with one of the better hip and shoulders I've seen. Think that was the game we demolished Sydney at the G when Roos was coaching them.

No, it was the round 1 game that was a draw.

In his interview with Burgs, Smith gave a pretty heartfelt thanks to Justin Plapp. I made a similar comment last year, but Plapp would appear to be a massive asset to the club and a core element to the recent success of the alignment.

The boys in the VFL just seem to love playing for him, and when you read his player reports, he is clearly driven to try and get all his players to the next level, and he's truly part of the journey when they get there. The Tim Smith and Declan Keilty stories show that it isn't just the MFC players he strives for, but all the players under his charge. This would have to give you a lot of confidence if you were a talented footy player hoping to forge an AFL career - it probably makes Casey a destination club for that type of player.

I reckon our VFL coach has a big career ahead of him if he wants it.

You are right on the money. He is a great bloke and obviously a fantastic coach, I know Melbourne's good recruiting has helped Casey immensely, but Plappy took them from finishing second last in 2014, to minor premiers and runner ups in 2016. He puts so much time and effort into Casey and particularly the Casey listed players, and I believe he was one of the biggest factors in Bull and Dec getting drafted to Melbourne. 

With what looks like another big year for Casey, as well as his appointment as VFL state coach (which is usually reserved for the most senior coaches of the VFL) his CV keeps on growing and I wouldn't be surpised at all to see him as an AFL Senior coach in the future.

Jetts hasn't got a y, neither has Nut, Nib (Nibbler), Killa, Chunk, Weed(s), Trac or Salo

Definitely "Bull". Bob Murphy rated his beard no. 1 in VFL/AFL history:

When he gets the ball or goes up for a mark it should be the long dragged out BUUUUULLLL! Like they do to Josh Bruce

We've already started doing this with Weideman. Reckon, we should try something a little different.

[Adam The God 30,603]

Smith seems like a nice bloke. Hope he does really well this weekend and can carve out a career for himself at AFL level. Will only make our list stronger.

On another thread there's been some discussion as to whether a reporter made up the word "fearless", which was attributed to Goodwin.  Some posters (Lucifer being one) were sceptical and thought it was just hyperbole by the reporter in question.

I thought the signs in the background of Tim Smith's debut interview interesting.  I think we can now put it to bed.  It's safe to say it's a bit of a mantra of Goody's.

Is the 'Lucifer' a reference to my good self?

In case it is, let me set the record straight.  I started the 'Fearless Football' thread and was not one of those that doubted the reporter.  In fact I relished the concept and welcomed the team standing for something rather than being considered irrelevant.

Even if the reference wasn't to my good self why signal out one poster when there were quite a few that were skeptical of the reporter.
