Most of us journey through life without thinking too often of the end. Sure, we know we won't live forever, but death is an event that will happen at some undetermined point somewhere in our future. Despite knowing we are mortal we push that fact to one side, blissfully ignorant of our death until it is upon us - or perhaps not at all. I struggle to comprehend what it must be like to be aware of your impending death, teetering on the edge for months, then years, and then months again. It sounds like Stynes has embraced the positive of this brush with mortality; the prioritising of what is really important, something most of us won't do until it is too late.

And do they should be after the 2011 debacle!! They are only getting what they deserve! AFL standard training, not too much to ask. Had it too easy for too long...

No effing way. The US way of ownership is archaic and self-defeating. The best ones stay within their budgets and never win anything, the good ones pay over the odds and leverage their own franchise and win stuff, the bad ones leverage their club and don't win anything, and the worst ones use it as a money-making exercise and never look to win anything. The best run club that constantly wins and gets good profits is the Green Bay Packers in the NFL - and guess what? They are owned by members of the commuity in Wisconsin and funnel the profits back into the club and the community. Needless to say it is harder for that type of 'socialism' to be handled so it is legislated that that is not allowed anymore... Anyway, point: leave it the way it is or lose the soul of footy.

Got it!!!

Thanks for the surname history. Interesting. Agree on jcb too.

"Current Trend" is in reference to the press. Kick long being the strategy to combat it.

Jai Sheehan struggled early last season but then Aaron Greaves who was coaching the Falcons turned his season around so that after a poor start to the year he ended up kicking the second most goals in the TAC Cup. The question mark seems to be in regards to his application not his ability and since Greaves is now at the demons along with strict task masters in Neeld and Misson he may well continue to develop in the demons program
