Nah mate couldn't go I was in Mildura but from the sounds of it I don't have to go as you are demonland's roving reporter. Great stuff and I'm bloody happy about hopefully getting Hogan and also Viney at any cost. I hope the players are buying in. They had their L plates on this year.

B+ but his kicking has improved and if he can get some help in the midfield he could be an A grade mid in a couple of years.

I can't believe some were saying the packers were done and the NFC was to be competed by the 49ers and Bears. Talk about Jumping to a quick conclusion. Question is Macca can your cheese heads keep up that defence every week? If they can you are on a good thing. I think they learnt from last year that they can't keep relying to win with just an offence.

That all sounds sweet to me. 2014= Hogan,Mitch,All australian Jones and a bucket load of fitness work under Misson. Happy days indeed.

I gather from his bluey speech that he had a plan and busted his butt to get to where he is. Imagine if some of our naturally talented players used Jones's dedication.

I am interested in Miranda Kerr. Not sure if she is coming my way though.

So this means my year old Jumper and polo shirt won't look so obsolete next year? Happy days.

Well surely Ed would have broken the news if it was the pies. You know cause he says he can separate being a collingwood president and journalist at the same time.

Just giving this a premature bump for his soon to receive Bluey. Thanks for the year Nathan. Touch wood All Australian next year.

Caddy is no where near worth pick 4. I'd take hogan at 4 and viney where ever we have to. Caddy at 13 I don't mind

Some argue if he isn't being valued in the top 5 don't take him. What we need is a gun inside mid who is professional and tough as nails with skills to match. He should be valued from us as a number 1 pick. If we needed a ruckman but had plenty of mids then Grundy would be number 1 for us. Horses for courses. We need Jack Viney.

I re-signed me and my kids. Not that slogan's matter to me but we could have gotten a picture of Ivan Drago from Rocky 3 and put Jack Viney's head on him with the quote "I must break you" underneath.

In the article there is no quote about the suns even thinking about taking Viney. There is speculation and that is it. I wouldn't be shocked to see a G.W.S contemplate Viney article soon as well. This is an article for the sake of one, nothing more.

Do they still do the Dob in a demon? If so I'm going to dob in Wojo from Geelong and Jack Viney can personally drop off his membership to him and drop off a couple of right hooks on the way out.

If that is the case it's pretty simple we take him at 3. No drama at all.

Viney toumpass and hogan would be my dream draft and it is a realistic chance to happen.

The only thing I don't understand about free agency is if rivers wants out for Geelong but we then match the Geelong offer but rivers still wants out what happens then?

The article makes me believe in neeld even more. If players buy in to an elite program then the only way is up. Neeld is trying to get the best out of the players and in doing so it will weed out the players who just want to cruise along. This program has to be good for our draftee's as well. Hopefully we can see some impact from first year players next year.

Not sure if it has been posted but it's an interesting read. We have all talked about players buying in. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/147354/default.aspx

Is this a done deal for us? I would take Monfries and Pearce in a heartbeat.

A bloody great win. Just like Neeld I believe in Ponder. We have tried the old blokes Favre was ok but Mcnabb was a disaster. We are always a chance with AP in the side. Every time he gets tackled I cringe though. I didn't see the Indy game but they should be a harder task then Jacksonville. When the Jags scored that touchdown I thought my barracking for teams curses them. The dee's,Vikings and Sabres haven't had much to crow about as of late.

Some players may think they have bought in but then realise that completing a pre season isn't enough. Hopefully Nathan jones can show them what is really required to play at the top level.

I can't believe it

Cheers for that. Spewing I can't watch the Minnesota game. My vikings are pretty ordinary but I hope to see a massive improvement from Ponder this year. I still miss the line up of Smith,Carter,Reed,Cunningham and Moss. They were the most exciting offence to watch. Still can't believe Dallas got up over the Giants but NY never have an awesome record but still find ways to win at the end of the year.

Couldn't agree more with the OP. I also think if Lyon was our coach our results would have been the same this year due to a hard fitness plan and a total change of gameplan. The neeld haters would of given Lyon a chance due to his credentials. I'm all in with neeld.
