Its funny that a lack of class is now our problem.

Our midfield a few years ago was a 'rolls royce' midfield and lacked some V8 grunt...

How times have changed.

Moloney is a great inclusiong this season.

He does alot of the one percenters, gets contested possessions, clearances and puts it into the forward 50...

Hopefully Sylvia can produce this kind of goal kicking display more regularly...

I think Moloney has greatly improved he was your ttypical old time player when we first got him get the ball bang it long etc etc but very hard at it.

but now he has refined his skills and thought process to be very damaging and still be hard at it..

from a few years ago when we were labelled a Soft club i think his inclusion has really helped the younger/smallers guys be more confident.. we seem to play better when he is in the team..

and although Sylvia is strong and hard at it imo he is still to selfish.. looking for accolades or maybe that is just him trying to impress the coaching staff so he gets a feww more years who knows.

i would like to see him do more 1% er's though. (incredible Marking strength )

Yeah, would anyone consider Melbourne one of the harder teams in the comp? Do you thing we are labelled one of the soft clubs anymore?

Despite many people having the idea we where a 'soft club' we where the no. 1 tacklers in 2006.

God they where good times with the Reverand his gang at full strength.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
