Coming up after the break. :)

    For those who missed it....

    - Excited pre- season is over, and is looking forward to next Friday.

    - Not many injuries from pre-season, which is very good.

    - Very happy to play on Friday night first up. Acknowledged the fact that we have a good draw, especially having 4 home games in the first 4 rounds.

    - Need the 26 year olds (TJ, Bruce, Green) to step up and play well

    - Dunn may be back a bit quicker than first thought. Was running today already.

    - Frawley will miss first 3-4 games, which Neale is very disappointed about. Sounded like he was keen to play him sooner rather than later.

    - River is a bit sore, and they are waiting to see how he pulls up next week. 60-40 he’ll play Round 1.

    - To be up in the top 4, or top 2, you need to have strong finances. Neale encouraged everyone to sign up, and get us that extra help in finishing top 4. Financially we are doing well.

    - Improvement will come not from Neitz, White or Pickett necessarily, but from TJ, Bruce and Green in particular. Also McLean, Sylvia (hasn’t played anywhere near his best), Bate, Dunn, Jamar, Bartram, Bell and CJ (has had a tremendous pre-season and is about to blossom according to Neale).

    - Wants Yze to just play solid footy at 30 years of age. Didn’t sound confident about it though :wacko:

    - Said Robbo will naturally improve now that he is fit again

    - Hoping Beamer and Biz will come back after injuries last year, and help the side.

    - Hoping to get to a good start this year, and obviously stop the late-season slump. The aim is to have everyone available at the end of the year

    - Ox said all the players are thrilled with Bodan and the new fitness training.

    - Neale acknowledged that we can’t have 3 or 4 of our best players out come August/ September

    - Haven’t been able to win on the long grounds and we are actively working to improve on that.

    - Membership around 25,000- 26,000 (I think that’s what they are hoping to get, not what we are currently at). He promoted heavily the $40 MCC membership option.

    Callers Questions & Answers:

    Q: Will PJ be given a shot in 2007?

    A: He had a good pre-season, but is our third ruckman at the moment as he is still learning the craft. Could play KP, maybe even take over from Neita in the future. Can’t play three ruckman though, although very important to have a back-up just in case the situation like last year arises.

    Q: Will Whitey play more up forward (this was asked by Ox)

    A: Probably, especially to give Jamar more of a go in the ruck. White won’t have as much ground time this year, which will keep him going late into the year

    Q: Should I put Miller in my dream team? (yes, this was asked by a 10 year old)

    A: We really want to play him forward as he presents very well, but he still needs to be able to play both ends of the ground (Neale didn't know much about this dream team deal).

    I may have missed a few things, as I was listening, typing and doing homework all at the same time :unsure:

    He sounded absolutely pumped for Friday night though, and very focused!

    GO DEES!

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
