Not a whole lot new there. He's gotten to be even better than Sheedy at deflecting unwanted attention. Brownie, JB and Newman were quick to say how well regarded he is by the players. Couldn't help but feel a bit bad after they said that. But only for a second.

Said Sylvia pulled up a bit sore, Pickett will play a full game this week, and Riv has a sore hammy.

what did you expect.. he was there mainly in the context of the coaches assoc. ..that...and what is he going to do...even if he did have any real surprises he's hardly likely to let anything out of the bag.

just another affable display by the likeable coach

( effective NO...likeable yes )

Sylvia seems to be flying under the radar at present.....they are keeping the wraps on this guy.

Agree..Sore ?? what multitude of physical deficiencies is this meant to cover ?

Is that like the guy who said...honeslty officer i tripped and fell...then stumbled into the door ?

Yeah......it's hard not to like Daniher isn't it?

He seems like such a top bloke!

Easy to lynch him on a website, but I feel for Gardner or whoever it is that has to swing the axe should it eventuate.

Sore? well when the the kid has been battling OP for the last 2 years when he pulls up sore during his bid to get back to fitness OBVIOUSLY the thing to do is rest him....NOT play through it because then it continues to get worse and it lingers on to next year to!

Let Sylvia take all the time he needs to get himself right...

So given he's hardly likely to let anything out of the bag and he was there mainly in the context of the coaches association why wasn't it effective?

A second too long dappa.

Balme was well liked too...even by the one and only Garry the great- hmmm. ..infact so much so Lyon hurled a major league hissy when Neil's head rolled from the block straight to the basket. But the meat in the sandwich here is simply that he could not coach!

Who the hell are JB and Brown to the Mfc anyway? and what would they know? and I doubt Newman would bag the Rev straight to his face.

Save for mediocrity, there is no room for soft heads and warm hearts in this caper.

Of course.

But even you must have a tinge of sadness should ND get the sack and disappear from our screens. At least he has a personality, and knows how to handle the media and what they're for.

That said, I'll be the first to wave goodbye if we get a decent premiership coach hungry to have a crack at this list.

Farnkly, I don't think he handles the media at all well.

But yes Dappa , I'll join you in the ticker tape parade should the day come. ;)

im a bit sore, but i'd play this week if they wanted me too...i think the word sore needs to be replaced with slight strain whereever possible when describing footy injuries...

Not only is that amusing...but you'd probably stand a chance of being selected if you were listed with MFC.

Also of concern was the Craig Hutchinson story with Russell Robertson in relation to his knee injury.

6 weeks was absolute best case scenario, but 8 weeks was likely, with 10 weeks being the worst.

It is obviously more severe than first thought.

Which begs the question as to why he was allowed to return to the field again after the initial injury???

Things just keep getting better.

These things have a habit of hurting short term but strengthening long term, by way of getting games into the up'n'comers. Next week I would hope for the inclusions of Sylvia to play a forward role with Dunny & Pickett also returning to stiffen our resolve.

I have never believed that we're ready for a flag in '07, but to make top 4 or 5.

But '08 has always been the year I think suits our list the most, then '10/'11.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
