    Definitely agree, Neale's speeches are life lessons to a group of young adults who happen to play elite level football. He does the same with the Collingwood players. Absolute legend!
  2. Brendan Fevola
  3. The results are heavily skewed based on the first 3 rounds where the opposition practically walked in and kicked goals from the goal square. Its more a reflection of how easy we have been to score against early than anything the opposition were doing to us.
  4. I'd rather we field our best side and win most games in the second half of the season and finish in 9th place with our best team getting used to playing together than not have this and recieve a top 3 draft pick.
  5. Re Gary Pert not organising the injuries, do you know this for a fact because before he came we had few injuries and then he turns up, an low and behold we are struck down with injuries. Coincidence, I think not ?
  6. Shake it off, shake it off...
  7. Great effort to the boys,they tried their hearts out. Not much more you can ask than that. Players gonna hate, hate, hate, hate...
  8. Has Pert's grubby fingers on it too
  9. Not as silly as it sounds
  10. 6-6-6 has resulted in some great finishes to close games that would otherwise become a slog fest. I think that sides have become perhaps overly cautious to prevent opposition to score heavily off centre bounces.
  11. These press conferences are all talk, I'm furious.
  12. I though he was ok in a side that was generally horrible.
  13. With due respect this is a highly speculative scenario based on zero internal knowledge of what if naything was said and it's impact on Petracca.
  14. I reckon Stretch has been building over the past month and could be a very good player for us with some continuity. His confidence is building and I think will have a breakput game very soon.
  15. What's up with Ablett, it's like after the first one he's got a taste for it - he's got the bloodlust.

    With due respect you are not Brad Scott and his facial expressions alone would pay his wage three fold

    I'd get him as a supporting act to react to umpiring decisions in the box and discuss missed frees during press conferences.

    In fairness we spent that long without playing finals and appointed Neeld. Glass houses.
  19. Tactical genius
  20. No way Harmes is playing for Casey. I reckon Stretch and Fritch will both play for Melbourne on Sunday as well.

    In particular I like the rebranding of 4-6 weeks to 4-5 weeks. 4-6 had become toxic and am hoping the rebrand works and if it doesn't I'll blame Gary Pert.
  22. Just saw this mornings presser from Goody and glad he's alright. Was good to hear Troy Chaplin speak yesterday, he come across very well.
  23. This has Gary Pert's grubby fingers all over it.
  24. I have an alternative proposal that would be perfect. Why don't we build an exact replica of the MCG directly under the MCG. The land is not being used for any purpose and as Demons what better place to raise hell than under ground. I bet we could borrow some of the giant bores that are being used to dig the tunnels for the new train line to hollow out under the G and save on costs. We could even install an elevator directly up to our admin in the MCG. #Winning
  25. Also, apparently number 6 umpire called Tim Smith a weak c$&t.
