  1. As much as I don't like to add weight to the usual sack the coach threads I'm now ready to admit I am done with Neeld. He has failed. It's time to move on and move on immediately.
  2. Absolute friggin joke. How in the hell does Rodan get a game over Magner. Seriously WTF is going on with this place??
  3. If he doesn't get elevated, given the opportunity is there, then I am seriously losing faith in Neeld. We're playing the Suns this week, we need to win this one.
  4. Magner got the most amount of possessions on Sunday in the game against Port Melbourne Again.
  5. VFL Player review James Magner: Jimmy had 32 disposals, seven hard ball gets and six tackles. He again led the team around the stoppages and continually worked the ball out of congestion. His form has been very good. Just saying......
  6. Should be in the team right now. I agree that the decision to keep him there made good fiscal sense, but the fact of the matter is we suck. Badly, and we need a hardened clearance body like Magner to stem the bleeding. We will get murdered by the likes of Geelong, Hawks and Collingwood with their midfields and another 100+ point hiding is not good for rebuilding a team - irrespective of where it may or may not be at.
  7. You have a better suggestion than to keep playing the elite A-grade quality players we have out on the park at the moment? The guy is killing it in the magoos and i seem to remember he was pretty good in the centre before Neeld put him at half forward last year
  8. Leaving Magner on the rookie list, our strongest and hardest bodied player, knowing that Moloney was gone rates, for me, as one of the stupidest decisions by Neeld No wonder we get smashed in there every week.
  9. Check your browser if the second link doesn't work i.e get Google Chrome That may fix it for you
  10. Never mind I got it thanks to some Filth fan complaining about the same thing For the nerds Here is the link that the web site gives you http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay/?ound=CD_R201301404&match=CD_M20130140407&eventType=Goal&seek=6032&videoQuality=high Here is the one that works: http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay/?round=CD_R201301404&matchId=CD_M20130140407 Note the differences? Bloody amateur hour, lets hope the $500K donation we have to give them will buy them some people who can actually write and test software properly
  11. So now we can apparently watch replays on the AFL's smart TV link as opposed to Bigpond TV Problem is every time I click on the Demons Giants link it says I'm not accessing it from Australia??? Has anyone got a direct link to get around their crappy site?
  12. My uncle bought me a Demons jumper the day I was born and he would take me to games as a little kid. Dad was unimpressed as he supports the Saints but he was never into footy that much and my mum, who is a Demons supporter was more than supportive of my uncles efforts. I've learned to accept this difficult hand life has dealt me nowadays.
  13. I've surfed for 20 years and still get out at least once a week. Definitely the one thing that keeps me sane, everything you say is true, it combines exercise, adrenalin and a calm state of mind out on the water that completely revitalises you. One of my favorite surf spots is Big Left down at Flinders, I love it there, you're so far out in the water, surrounded by cliffs and the open ocean, no noise except for the waves, it's the best therapy you can have and the waves are pretty good too, especially when they are like the ones I rode last Saturday
  14. Bloody hell as if last year wasn't embarrassing enough now this....
  15. un·prec·e·dent·ed/ˌənˈpresəˌdəntid/ Adjective: Never done or known before. In other words Jon Ralph has got no idea
  16. He's just covering his own arse, Collingwood did it as well and you can bet, as a consequence, that they'll be worried the MFC, if penalised, will take it to court and drag the other clubs through the mud with them. There is the mother of all can of worms out there just waiting to be opened and we're just the tip of the ice-berg
  17. Yep agreed, Nothing will come of it in the end except maybe a little slap on the wrist as a face-saving measure by the AFL. It's a massive can of worms and we're not the only club involved either. They won't risk it.
  18. I am considering to offer myself as a sex slave to Mark Neeld. I love this man. I really do.
  19. It's all just a bit of brinkmanship, Viney will be a Demon, have no doubt. GC don't need another 18 year old mid-fielder, they're set in that department. We've got picks 3 and 4 and other than Viney we're not going for any more kiddies, they'll be used as bait to secure players from other clubs still under contract This Sounds like a very likely scenario. Pick 4 would be good bait to lure a player like Dawes as well
  20. Watching the Swans on Friday night I was awestruck by just how good this footy club is. They have hardness and determination in spades and an appetite for the contest that is utterly mental. They don't get ruffled by the mind games and they don't swallow the bait when teams try and goad their players. Except for Malceski maybe. I'd give my left nut for the MFC to have 1/10th of whatever it is they have But anyway on with the theory Being in an NRL city seems to have really rubbed off on them by certain stoppage tactics they employ. I noticed that in the packs one of their players would often hold the ball in close with one arm, duck their head and attempt to "tunnel" through opposition bodies. When they get through they stretch upwards and handball backwards over their heads or shoulders where time and time again, three Swans players would be waiting. One guy grabs the ball, the other two shephard which gives them that spli-second they need to clear it. They did this a lot against Collingwood and it was bloody effective. Other teams, notably ours, just try and knock it forwards or, (more often than not), panic, drop the ball, and just go to ground. We share facilities with the Storm, arguably one of the greatest NRL teams of the modern age, I'd be filthy if I found out the MFC was not trying to engage the Storm to learn these pack busting style techniques. Considering Neelds style of game we need to become like the Swans in this area.
  21. Well said Sweeping generalisation I know but I am willing to bet that most people would know 4/5's of FA about Liam, where he has come from and how amazing it was that he even made it to an AFL team let alone be able to show such raw talent and leave the game with a highlight reel that would be the envy of 5 year players. The guy has come from a totally different world, from a complex, tribal, ancient culture that most people would not understand. Within that world he has responsibilities and as such he is putting his family first. Anyone that is having a sook about him leaving should probably ask themselves that same question. What comes first? Your family (which in his case is breaking apart) or your football? I for one am proud that the Demons are still offering to support him. I think that demonstrates a wonderful example of our values as a football club and I have no doubt that even if he does not return, Liam, his family and his community would be eternally grateful for it and who knows? Maybe one day he might come back. I'd rather be associated with a football club that follows those ethics rather than one that demonstrates what some of the supporters are saying out there that are telling him to get effed, good riddance etc... That [censored] is just bloody disgraceful.
  22. Yeah that would be the decent thing to do wouldn't it?
