    Never in doubt. Loves club, the club loves him. Good on ya Nibbler! 

    Now he can start working out how to be Nick Daicos's shadow on King's Birthday. 

    Congratulations Nibbler. You have out done your ability with so many other attributes to become a much loved player and team man in many of our best years. Another flag beckons before you retire. 

    I hope you have been suitably rewarded. 

    PS Just ask Kossie to get things done when he's ready!!

    Clearly a great clubman but as a player doesn’t inspire me & I would happily sacrifice him to keep better players.

    Rarely plays well when the team is struggling but always dominates after we get on top & are cruising.

    Constantly getting caught with the ball in his hands.

    delighted for nibbler. Not the most skilled player but plays his role brilliantly and a great example of how hard work and application gets you a long way.

    A hugely underrated but important part of team both from a structural and cultural perspective. I've doubted him at stages over the years, but he's proven to be a real pillar of this team. On ya Nibs

    24 disposals and a goal in the Grand Final. Kept us in it in 2nd quarter.

    BUT.... like everyone else,  did at least one  magnificent act during the game  - which was attracting 4 defenders to him afater receiving Luke's pass while cleverly slotting the ball to Tom Sparrow at the start of the last who was as a result in the clear.  (TMAcs greatest ever Dees shepherd in the 3rd for Sparrow's goal was another)

    BBB kicks the goal to allow us to relax.

    Wonderful to see him remain on Board.   27  possessions , 6 Inside 50's and 5 tackles in the important first final against the Lions  another highlight contribution.

    It is so pleasing to see so many of our players commit long-term. It shows with enormous clarity what a great spirit and ethos we have. Which I largely attribute to Goody.

    I hope he stays with us for all the reasons already mentioned. Also because the cheer squad wouldn’t be the same without Shazza, his mum. She’s a legend. Nonstop energy. It’s funny, she screams out “Nibba” or “Nibs” but when he messes up she changes to “Alex” as in, “Oh Alex, what was THAT?!"

    This is a candidate for post of the year. Love ya @WalkingCivilWar

    That’s brilliant! Such a mum thing to do

    But when he messes up she changes to “Alex” as in, “Oh Alex, what was THAT?!"

    At least she doesn't say his full name . . . as in Alex Neal-Bullen, what was that? I would laugh if she went with the ANB - what was that?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
