Chris Judd said in an interview a few weeks back that one of his biggest motivators was 'fear' and considered it a positive thing. That video of Bailey patting everyone on the head and going spare because they won a match just makes me feel weird. Much prefer the hardass whose respect you have to earn approach, like James Earl Jones in Best of the Best. It's like that moment in the movie where it goes black and white and baby Tommy drops his ice cream. Do you want that? Do you want one of our players to take a back-kick to the head from a Korean who doesn't care if they live or die? No! They must be ready! Neeld will make them ready.

All I can say about this loss is that I am fkn shattered.

We wouldn't have been able to have both in the team because we wouldn't have had the money to throw Mitch Clark's way if we'd already spent it trying to keep Scully. Much happier seeing Mitch Clark in the team than I'm disappointed that ol mate did a bolter.

Whatevs, I am fkn loving Mitch Clark.

Well I feel sheepish.

Would prefer to pull back the banjo a touch.

Ya'll gather round now and I'll tell ye's a story 'bout the Meeyylbon Deeemons! Hot diggity dawg!

Just happy round 1 has started.

Thanks mate, keep up the updates.

Hope you gave him [censored] for tripping over his own feet and still taking that mark. So good.

Thinking I'll start training and take on this role. Soon as I can get these bloody robot legs working.

Agree with the posters above, you've summed that up really well Nasher. In response to you rpfc, I think Tassie'd be able to get the funds together, even if not comfortably and I think it'd be great exposure for a state that I'd agree is struggling. I also reckon Taswegians would happily get behind our probably rubbish footy team. But yeh, there's never going to be enough insentive for the AFL to take a punt on a Tassie footy team and I'm not heaps disappointed, at least it means we can support anyone we want and I can rag on my younger brother whenever the Dees destroy the Bombers. Which hopefully keeps happening. The Launceston Hawks vs the Hobart Roos'll be a great thing. Re: Paula Wreidt, she's probably in a better place to speak up now she's out of the government. She gets to run rampant without worrying about political correctness or making enemies with anyone. The Tassie government'll want to stay on the good side of the AFL whether we get our own team or not.

Funding was never an issue. They had a $5 million sponsorship with Mars even before the bid went through. On top of that the facilities are already set up both in Hobart and Launceston. I can see where expanding markets would come into play, as Tassie is already getting steady crowds of 17k and GWS have plenty to expand on considering the 751 that rocked up to the NAB Cup at Manuka.

Rest in peace big man. You're a true inspiration.

I'm thinking 12th-14th, but it's great seeing that 1st up there.

+Couch Really enjoyed the Couch/Magner combo on the win against Collingwood.

Another rum!

In spite of the ear bashing, just threw on the Melbourne guernsey and feeling damn proud all over again. Go Dees! You rubbish team you.

Sack everybody!

Talks about it in the new video on DeeTV. Cheers for the comments Cam.

Pretty sure the only negativity on this thread is coming from the people ragging on demonland for being too negative. Everyone else said they're digging deetv and like either burgs or ellie. Guess you read what you wanna read. Bunch of emos.

So awkward.

Really enjoying these new Ellie McKenzie interviews. Very relaxed, gives the lads a chance to show a bit of character. Looking forward to seeing Robbo hosting as well. It's a minor thing but it's my main source of news from the MFC so I want it to be a decent show and I generally find the Matt Burgan videos unwatchable. Thoughts?

Hope everything is alright with him and his family back home. He seems a very determined and strong willed character, I don't think he'd be going home without good reason. See what happens.

Welcome to Demonland, dude. Leigh should be 3 weeks away from returning from a back injury, so too late for a run in the NAB Cup. I imagine he'll head straight to Casey and probably spend the season there unless we really start struggling with injury or he's kicking bags of 4-6 every game.
