Yup and his boyhood idol was Mathew Richardson.

Was goining but it clashed with my book club and knitting.

Swallowed up by the system as spat out

He grew up following Richmond... not much pie in him

In my lifetime collingwood 2 melbourne 0.... not going to gloat?

Not sure... some of the things that they do these days wouldn't happen when i was the same age. Not without a clip around the ear... i guess too many parents just let their kids run all over them.

Dont know about that... younger generation in general are lazy and bad mannered.

My prediction is that Melbourne will play 22 games at the least ?

A source from essedon reckons there wasnt a tear to be seen when Neeld left.

It doesnt matter who you are, mental illness is a serious problem for those who suffer from it. Maybe you do not... but for those who do, it is a difficult path. You cannot know the true nature of depression or anxiety unless you experience it. As members of forums, you can gloss over the fact that your put downs of players in public is ok necause they are professionals and well-paid. Even so, they are people like you and me. Reading harsh criticism can be devestating to someone who probably in all entirety, is just trying their best. In my line of work, you have to put up with bullying just because their coffee or food didnt meet their highly opinionated expectations. Instead of just being accepting that today it didnt quite meet expectations, they have to bully or humiliate that person probably online. What makes that individual so special or how good are they at their job blows me. People try their best, and online, what we write can have a huge impact on someone else who maybe struggling. I can admit i have been guilty. But if something i wrote pushed someone over the edge, i would be devestated.

How does the weid look?

Jack Watts?

Had he have had better coaches he may have been more consistent.

Difference is neelds tteam was made up with bit part players, todays team is with young talent building their own fate. Makes you wonder what Neeld was thinking.

Kade K has alot of upside and skill... might provide us with some run

Will be interesting how the team will function in regards to the new rules.

Looks like the club has already made a decision ln Hogan future...

Maybe Jesse was not very impressed by what he saw at Freo

We could swap hogan to brisbane for pick 4 and beams, give beams for May, keep pick four and hogan and neal deal will be between freo and brisbane.

Is he even leaving???

Cracks me up when people predict teams with players who arent even on the list yet

Pretty much shows the importance of a good preseason and run with injuries. Mind you loads wrote of Brayshaw last year... they got that one wrong.

Highly skilled... perhaps gold coast havent got the best out of him because they are a rabble. Could prove valuable as an outside runner

If freo trade neele for brisbane brisbanes first pick, they should give us that one and their first pick. The club should say take it or leave it... play hardball... or shop him elsewhere.

Fair point... one never really felt his comittment.
