    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
