Good to see the Pies availing themselves of stunningly successful Melbourne backline participants.... Maybe Mark Neeld put in a good word for them all...

This is why I come to this site

Lucky Neita doesn't train horses.........

Me too although I am reliably told that there are major defects in the stand and it is dangerous without a few hundred thousand spent each year to keep it safe.......

I liked his first year but I would say this is the area of weakness as well as hitting targets. Different views I guess....

THE tunnel ball did it for me...........

Clearly never saw Sam Mitchell or Greg Williams

That's what happens with 10 years of conditioning

Yeah, nah

When it boils down to it the most important thing is who you are playing and having as few injuries as possible. Where you play, timeslots, breaks etc are other considerations but ultimately shouldn't determine whether you play finals or not. Who we play looks pretty good although you never know which teams are going to slide and which teams will outperform.

Tried to buy a Hyundai using the Melbourne FC connection/discount but in the end they were uncompetitive. Just sayin...

Yeah we can. When was the last one we had? The Toiges have 13 in the past few seasons I heard Brendan Gale say... They wonder why some teams don't make money? It aint rocket science.

We have 3 x 6 day breaks in a row mid-season and on top of that, we have to travel for one and our opponents are having 10, 9 and 7 day breaks before playing us. That's pretty significant.

2 1/2 weeks of dozens of injections of illegal substances and a high intensity workout programme (because of increased recovery capacity) would beg to differ. Proof. Pudding.

agreed. Geelong was doing it it must be OK....

3hrs to Alice Springs vs 4.5hrs flight time to Darwin....

And the dog ate his homework.......I call booshi

This should NEVER be a consideration for the AFL.

Really? You are better than this. Dawes was naturally disappointed as any player would be.

The Dogs will be playing us after a 10 day break West coast playing us after a 9 day break Sydney will be playing us after a 7 day break That makes those 3 games very tough indeed.

Stinking cheats have been rewarded

puffery? I treat it as straight from the horse's mouth

Still not convinced. Then read this article with the benefit of hindsight. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/bigger-bombers-for-bruising-battles-20111108-1n5it.html Changed body shape in 2 1/2 weeks? Really? Nothing wrong here....

OK cheers.
