W L , you're a jet.
F W I W, I have good contacts down at the cattery who have long said that one of Sandersons strengths was his ability to make footy fun and enjoyable for the players. They all reckon he was a big loss and I have no doubt will prove to be the ying to Buckleys yang. |

Dear Nicksters, I am truly humbled by the feedback. My only regret is that I cannot get down from my retreat in the mountains more often and share what I see.
I will be asleep until six, but if you have any pressing questions, please add them to this post and I will be back online to answer them as truthfully as possible.
Love to you all...

The Force?

I don't post often but that report brought a tear to my eyes - could almost see the mist and smell the grass. Any thoughts on Sier at this stage? I don't envy the selectors over the next three to four weeks. All the best to you and Mrs Lad. Go Pies.

yes, we do. You need to be passionate about something in life.
My dad passed away last year, and following and discussing the Pies was probably the major conversation point with him over the last 40 years. It binds generations together. |
I agree gurugeoff. I recall similar conversations with my dad. Footy is a glue that binds so many of us together!

Thank you Mr Simon Tonna. Jamie Elliott was exceptionally impressive today. Could not have done more to push for inclusion. He is very special.

Another grateful thank you from a QLD-based Pie.
I really felt like I was there, the prose was wonderful. Took me back to dark days in the mid 70s when I lived in Lulie St a block up from Vic Park. I often wandered up for practice, and game days, but unfortunately in those days there was more action in Ronnie Wearmoth's pub than on the track.

Thank you Mr 3rd Degree. Keeffe was impressive in defence against Cox. Was not a participant in any of the ruck drills and was not tried forward at any stage.
Big Max Lynch is a huge lump of a man ( 200 cms and 97 kg). He was Grundy's opponent in several drills. Was not disgraced. He may be a shock upgrading during 2017.
Liam Mackie also looks the goods.

Gives me and every one on Nicks everthing we need to know 😃😃😃😃😃
Have said all along so much talent both experience players and uncapped
like Kale Kirby
We are on our way --I have absolutely no doubt |
Thank you Baz Boy. The hidden gems I saw today included; Crocker, McLarty, Callum Brown and Nick Daicos. Was also impressed with Mitch McCarthy who looks physically ready to go. Such a build for a 19 year old! What impressed about McCarthy was the confident way he approached the ball and he 'got around' his team mates with wonderful encouragement. Something I always look for in a player.

Warby Lad, you are an institution and a treasure here at Nick's and we would all be much the poorer for your absence. Cracking read, thank you!
