By the by, Brown and Riewoldt have both mentioned there were moments they had paused and said it's a furphy to suggest no player ever does.

I went and reviewed his 2020 and 2021 highlights, he is not a squib. I actually think you should apologise.

He will be part of our premiership team.

This post has aged well.

Alex Neal-Bullen is a very special kind of selfless player, gut runner extraordinaire, absorbs punishment with aplomb, works hard for his teammates and celebrates each and every great team act and goal scored. Love ANB, Nibbler Bullen.!!!

Let’s hope the 2.0 version doesn’t go the way of the original. I just read it from the start and geez Louise, people need to look up the meaning of “appreciation.” 

Yeah, just went back to the start of this thread myself for a bit of a read.

Two things.

1. Still love ANB

2. I miss Lord Nev 

On top of the fanatic work rate, he just looks much more smooth and classy this year. Champion player, love Nibs.


Yes ANB can be a barometer sometimes for the team. Important link man across the half forward line. Playing a good role in the last 2 games.  He is using his endurance as a weapon in the team.  I’d like to see him kick more goals as he gets chances and aim for 25-30 at least across the season (like he did in 2018). Output of 7 to 10 goals a year is actually well below par for his role.  

He is such an important role player, but is limited so when he plays with other ‘role players’ like Spargo his value is diminished because he needs special players around ensure his grunt work has its biggest impact.

He is a link in a chain, and not a weak one.

Agree Spirit O N S, he snagged 19 last year but would love to see him up the ante and average a goal / game and play 200 games for us.

Head over to BF, where he cops far worse than he ever did here

Haha, he’s moved there?

Towards the end of the 2021 season ANB had a free kick for goal about 40 metres out on the boundary. 
He kicked a banana right through the middle.

The Dees never looked back thereafter.

He regularly nails those shots. He might even be the best in the league at them.


How good has this guy been? He has low-key been our best player this year. I thought we were done late in the third quarter but he just kept on giving. 

We wouldn't have been close without him tonight.

Just when I thought he had a career best game last week, he comes tonight with a BOG match winning performance.

Easily one of our important players at the moment alongside Maxy and May.

Geez he has been good this year, I’m buying a badge!

So proud of this guy. I'm happy to call him an A-grader now. 23 possessions 2 awesome goals and 30 yes 30 with a 'three' pressure acts. 

Unheard of.

Maybe he is what they call a late maturer? 

Set shot kicking, work in close, gut running, tackling... he's doing it all now!


I think he is playing more midfield time so he can use his gut running to make more opportunities to get possessions and has improved his disposal.

Great to see his game tonight 👏👏👏👏

His two goals were so important. Thats what he needs to do to make his HFF role so effective.  He was like an extra mid tonight.

Nibbla was unbelievable tonight.

You're spot on - we don't win that game without him.

The best game he's played.

I think he's leading our B&F by a mile.

Best game I've seen him play last night.

Chock full of confidence there was no way he was missing any of those goals.

He's in great form at present.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
