This off-season has been way too long which I am putting down to a number of factors -

- Tennis? meh, bunch of overpaid blowhards.
- NFL, love it but...
Ok, so how many times in AFL/VFL history has a side had a 80+points win & DROPPED:eek: a spot on the ladder?
Will go out on a limb & say - ONCE - last night...

Neeld inherited a basket-case while Lyon got one of the more talented lists going around.
Neeld showed today he probably has got his players heading in the right direction whilst Lyon again proved he has a knack of taking talent & choke holding it almost to death.
Neeld has got excuses of...

recall getting a bit narky when first seeing that the Bombers had a bye in R24 & now it's here i am a bit on the rag - last round of the year & no weekend game to look forward to,
really sucks:(
Well at least in my book he is.
The lure of a job at the Demons perhaps was not enough enticement to throw his hat back in the ring come October, but now add in the Doggies vacancy & the romance of returning to where it all began & the carrot just became substantially larger & more tasty.
So...

going to be stuck at home without coverage of the big game tomorrow, so if anyone can help out via a pm it will be much appreciated
apologies in advance if these threads are no longer appropriate
being reported that Jolly didnt complete the Pies training session this morning, might not mean anything other than taking it easy leading into the game
hope he plays simply so we can get a measurement of where we rate against the best (geez thats hard to type)
Well its only 1/2 thru round 3 & I've seen most of the games played so far so tar me up & roll me in feathers if the overall umpiring standard so far isnt bordering on abysmal.
Multiple decisions today just beggar belief & dont get me started on last week.
Now I give most players a bit of...
