That was the hash tag made by the NMFC media dept earlier today.

NMFC trying to get into the shocking word play game


could be a money maker tbf

 

[Jono]

Question - has there ever been more attention, excitement and intrigue over a guy who hasn't played a match in the highest level of professional sport yet?

So by that, I am not including K Hunt and Folau as they played at the highest level in rugby league.

Its amazing really just how big the build up is for this guy. Exciting times, the bloke could very well change our game.

Not just whispers!

[uvelocity]

why did he put casper in his mouth

 

[Jono]

Apologies I meant in the AFL, but used "professional sport" to remove Hunt and Folau.

Obviously internationally is a different ball game altogether. But for AFL I can't remember a player like Daw getting so much attention prior to playing professional sport at any level.

Taste it Riggins.

 

[Redbacks]

Cheers Morgieb.

I tipped the saints on Sat after I realized I forgot to tip them. So I got 6 for the round.

 

[benchmark00]

This is the tipping point for Neeld. If Melbourne loses, he goes. If they win he fights on.

 

[Redbacks]

This is the tipping point for Neeld. If Melbourne loses, he goes. If they win he fights on.

If its true that Melbourne appointed an interim CEO, then that might save him for a while.

Apparently he isn't in charge of all the footy departments at the dees. What a rabble.

 

[uvelocity]

i did afl tipping on sportsbet even though i dont know **** im on 20. such a predictable game

 

[Spikey]

dank worked his magic on melbourne too eh

 

[benchmark00]

I'll tell you what is predictable though:

NRL avg attendance this season: 18,389
AFL avg attendance this season: 37,358

 

[Spikey]

20,000 pokie machines cover the difference though
