A meaningless result in a lack lustre game against a marshmallow opposition.

RR, spot on. We've spanked Port on the MCG for 12 years on every occasion except one, and where's it got us? No where.

We simply MUST load up on top line players to enable us to challenge the top line sides in big matches - something we've conspicuously failed to do.

Good stat Old.

Though personally I feel it's more about who the club selects with their second pick in the top 5 that is important (as it can be assumed they'd have selected the first player regardless of the priority pick).

This would give names like Pavlich after Hasleby, Koschitzke after Riewoldt, Mclean after Sylvia, Franklin after Roughead, Pendlebury after Thomas, Judd after Kreuzer.

Good point - added that data

At this stage, I think getting a winning culture into our young boys is the most beneficial thing for them.

What is a winning culture? How's a fifth win against a side that's managing their own list going to create a winning culture? Does an extra win make a significant difference to a 'winning culture'?

How'd that 'winning culture' work out for us in 2008, after we took five steps towards developing a winning culture the season before?

How about Richmond's 'winning culture' this season, on the back of their great run in the second half of 2008?

Melbourne have had two pp's before the first round. The second one was used on Travis Johnstone, we then used our 2nd pick in a trade to Fremantle in exchange for Jeff White.

This infamous trade later came under security when Gutnick revealed that Melbourne had exceeded the salary cap, with the fines including losing a future early round pick to Freo (pick 4 from memory). This is further interesting because the year that Fremantle were found to be cheating the cap was when Farmer was traded to them. The AFL, in their infinite wisdom, then proceeded to state that the initial penalty on Melbourne was too harsh and they wouldn't be giving us one of Freo's pick in compensation.

Added that one in - are there any others - I couldn't see any pre-97 but I may be missing something.

I Totally Agree with your Points. Trouble is i don't think we are the 16th placed side in the comp with 7 rounds to go.

The Young Kids have improved quicker than what we all thought would happen.

With Whatever number(s) we get in the Draft we must recruit the Best Midfielder available.

Scully i fear will be long gone as the 2 W.A sides & Sydney have given up the chase, while North & Richmond are just Rubbish.

We are somewhere in the middle, but i don't think 16th.

If by some miracle we do end up 16th with the 4 wins. I will be going out to Party so "uckin'" hard.

The world better look out!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
