Chook

Surely this is the earliest ever "the boys are raring to go for the new season" fluff article ever written. I'll believe it when I see it, Grimesy.

I've felt that this year, Jared Rivers was just about the only senior player who could hold his head high. If he leaves under anything but his own accord, I'll be very disappointed. I'lll be disappointed if he leaves in any case, but if his body is as close to the end as you say, then I can't blame him for wanting to (finally) get some success somewhere. I'll just be annoyed if we don't get much for him, because I rate him as just about the best loose/intercept backman in the AFL.

Dane Swan gets more of the ball than Bennell.

The funny thing is that those who blame Neeld for not getting the best out of Petterd also fail to give him credit for Jones and Howe's improvement.

I'm surprised he never poked someone's eye out with that thing.

David King is the epitome of a dumb person who thinks he's smart. What a waste of space he is.

Wrong Maric.

Five teams don't.

The ability to concentrate on your goal-kicking in front of a small, quiet crowd.

I haven't been a fan of Moloney's, so the fact that I'll never have to see him in red and blue again fills me with more joy than is probably appropriate, but there you go.

Neeld tried to get Moloney to change his body shape and his playing style. Moloney couldn't do it, so he decided to go somewhere where he wouldn't have to change.

Wasn't there talk that he wanted to go to Essendon last year?

I propose we replace the current members of the demonland banner with the geniuses from On the Couch.

And no-one's walked out on the club for over a day now.

That would be premature.

Sounds like a great assistant coach.

For a man who cares so much about his family, it's a shame that Liam is a war with one half of it and has totally disrespected his adopted family (the MFC). He is supposed to be a leader of his community, but I don't think he's shown much leadership at all. I'm pretty disappointed in him.

So for once we're NOT in the news and this is somehow a problem for you?

I would also like to know the history of this award and its records.

Maybe they should get together and clown around playing pool or table tennis. God knows they've earned it.

That's all folks. I'm going to bed and this season can kiss my arse. See you in 2013!

Every now and then we get to see a shot of Mark Neeld in the coaches box. He looks like he can't wait for list lodgment day. Lots of dead wood here folks.

I've lost count of the number of times he's kicked it straight down the throat of a Freo player.

Is he wanting the Carlton job. Surely he won't be considered for the Port Adelaide position.
