The new Neale-Bullen ?

I always have grand hopes. I hope he's a lot better than Neale-Bullen.

What is so complicated in every topic that we need to be 'talked through' it?!

The current media team make Benny Gibson look like Walter Cronkite.

Whilst on positive reflection and self improvement.

Is the interviewer’s use of rising intonation at the end of her speech necessary?

Am I old hat 🎩 or is this 2020’s newspeak? Mercifully my Demon supporting youngest daughter (same generation) doesn’t use it.

Without Spargo and Anb who in 21 managed around 50 goals together , we certainly could use another small fwd capable of kicking a few.

Good work.

I would suggest you significantly underrate Alex Neal-Bullen. i mean he was a critical role player in a premiership and became vice captain of a team in premiership contention off the back of one pre-season, so i mean he goes okay.

but yeah of course we hope he's the next Jamie Elliot and he kicks 60 goals a season

Geoff McComas wouldn't approve...

Bout time we've nabbed some small forwards. 👏💯

Is likened to Rylee West from the Dogs who I highly rate and had a fantastic season with 39 frankfurts.

and someone we bid on in his draft year too

Good work.

15 and 18.. 33 far from 50

Both valuable but this is misrepresentation

(Sorry, I prefer accurate stats)

2018 was 41 combined.

No, his father Geoff was the voice of the ABC for many a year.

...before your time I'm guessing.

edit: He used to run a public speaking course with Don Kinsey...one of his big no no's was the upward inflection at the end of a sentence. Said something along the lines of people can't take you seriously when you sound like an overly excited teenager.

No, I don't underrate Neal-Bullen. We found a role that suited him and helped Petracca. His fantastic endurance being pivotal in this role.

And it's great he elevated his game, as he was asked to look elsewhere at the end of 2020.

It's you who overrates him as a player. I respect role players, but I also recognise their place in a team.

I'm hoping Matthews has far better bona fides that translate to him being far better than a limited role player, like Neal-Bullen.

I do thank you though. I've seemingly had disdain for Alex and I believe I've been misspelling his surname for years.

sounds like a great pick-up

and great we're adding players with leadership qualities. i think a lot of our undoing over the past couple of seasons is down to lack of leadership as much as anything else
