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!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
