Congratulations to Nathan on placing third, we are all very proud........ It is a wonderful achievement, and in a year that has well and truly sucked, he has been the absolute shining light :D . And congrats to Joel Selwood as well, who was a very worthy winner!!!

Cheers for your weekly opinion efforts Joeboy..... And I know that this year could not have been all that fun !!!

That does kind of give you the warm and fuzzies !!!

I know kryton, it is a true crime !!!

Shocking, really !!!

This sounds like a good thing and something that was brought up here a few times recently...... And I love the speed in which Bailey and the club seemed to have gone about it. Definitely hitting the ground running :D !!!

Thanks for posting that OMR...... It is very good read and makes you look forward to his first press conference .

Congratulations to Neale on what is truly a wonderful achievement...... It is a great recognition of a man who, despite his final days as a Demon, remains one of the most respected people in AFL circles. A very proud moment, well done :D !!!

And he announced at the end of the game that his body wasn't up to it any more and that this was it........ Took off the jumper he was wearing at the end, and gave it to a little fan girl in the crowd. It really was a nice touch from a bloke that has been really entertaining, but is still seems quite mad and is an enigma of the sport. Anyway congrats on what was a damn good career Fraser, and I wish you well with whatever you chose to do in the future :D !!!

Amen to that C84 !!!

Oh for heavens sake, lets not bring everything back to Brad Miller...... But if he makes it though trade week lets hope it helps !!!

Mt Gravatt.......

Be proud KrazyJay !!!

The club knew, Baliey knew, so couldn't they have just announced it today instead of waiting the weekend? And while I get that it would have been nice (and respectful) for Williams to keep his mouth shut he isn't obligated to do anything of the sought.

I like the way you looked at that deesrock...... It is funny that reading through here most of the disappointment regarding Sheedy not being appointed has more to do with what he could bring to the club off-field rather than what he could have brought to the table on-field. This is unbelievably important, especially to us but it is not the biggest factor in the decision. And while I understand, and do agree to a point, with this sentiment, what a coach can bring to the club in regards to the on-field stuff (success will help the rest anyway) should probably be more important in regards to the decision that is being made. At least at this stage. The other stuff will come, as it did with Daniher. But as important as club marketing is, on-field success is more important and obviously Bailey ticked those boxes more than any other.

I must admit I do kind of like the idea of one of the Scott boys. One of them is at Collingwood now, and the other one has just retired from Brisbane. Right?

Wouldn't a lot of this depend not on Riley, but on who Bailey wants to appoint to his team? If he wants to put a broom through the entire current coaching team, Riley included, then isn't it his right to do so?

You're just determined to find fault before anything has actually happened...... As for Bailey's apparent trade week stance, just because we seem to want to see every Tom, Dick and Harry on our list gone doesn't mean it will happen immediately. And in reality we have absolutely no idea what will happen once our new coach starts to get his feet wet and actually meets with all the players. But what we see won't necessarily be what he sees, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. A clean slate is what we all wanted and that is what we got. That being said there are some obvious choices that must be made, and I want to have faith that he will do what he can to better the list. And has been said multiple times around here for quite a long time now you only get what you give during trade week, which could be one of the reasons as to why TJ is allegedly the nominated trade bait player. He obviously could bring in something great, something that Bailey may think we desperately need.

Sheedy congratulates Bailey

Exactly, we still need to lose and then start again next season !!!

Maybe the debate shouldn't be about Jolly returning to the Dees, which I don't see happening....... But about what it would take to get Cameron Wood. Just a thought !!!

Congratulations JCash :D ........ She is just adorable and I hope mother, father and baby are all doing well!!!

Pickett joins retirement party How about some congratulations for what was a truly great career, pre-Demon ?!!! I agree with you here Nasher, although I did have a bit of the hitting him in the ass with the door mentality, purely for the lack of application he game to this club. And I was a supporter of his recruitment here as he seemed to fit a void that we needed to fill. Unfortunately that didn't really pan out so well for us. But his time has come and he has done either the right thing or the only thing, and whichever that may be it will be better for the club in the long run.

Cheers Finksy :D !!! Welcome to the Dees Dean, and congratulations for getting the nod.

Power assistant gets Dees job Well done Dean and wecome aboard......
