I think Freo will be a pretty good bet against the West Coast.West Coast have a habit of manipulating things in their favour.

Didn't it seem strange in the 90's when the Eagles recruits after one summer became massive.Compare that to the MFC recruits Morton,Watts and others over the years that have taken 3 or 4 seasons to bulk up.

(WC coach a qualified chemist?)

IMO the WC would give Carlton a run for their money when it comes to manipulating the system.

They're an arrogant bunch of tossbags, and I have no idea why they are resigning Williams, they should get Hardwick or Viney in and smash that arrogance that permeates that team like a disease.

I would rather they take Hardwick. Leaving Viney at Adelaide as assistant until sometime he feels he needs a change of environment.

beating port f#cked us. end of story. Heads should roll

If you're certain that we're screwed from a PP point of view then that's the best news I've heard all week.

Scully is just about a certainty to be a Dee.

In bad news for us this week, the Pav and Sandilands will apparently be back this week to take on West Coast, while we know that Cox and Kerr are out 'indefinitely' with broken nails/chlamydia/tank flu.

Suddenly the Dockers are a real chance, although West Coast are still the better team and should win.

Wet Coke will not win another game, if they do it will only be because a team "out tanked" them.

To think that side has Premiership Players in it...Disgusts me.

Its so convoluted you'd be excused for thinking the script writers for Neighbours have a hand in all this , its that bad !!

West Coast have winnable games in Freo, Roos and Richmond..but will they ?

Freo have winnable games in West Coast Melb and Port ( at Subi they can )

We have winnable games in Freo Richmond and the Roos

Richmond canbeat us, and probably only us but the Westies might let them in.

its heart in the mouth stuff.. would be easier to just go away and come back in 6 weeks ..:lol:

Ideally westcoast beat freo and freo beat us... dont dare hold my breath though

Haselby and Tarrant both possibly missing should help the Eagles accidently get over the line.

Haselby is on the outer over there. He would be worth a look at.

Earlier this year when the shockers won 3 in a row it was Haselby who got them pumping in the middle.

I know he is injury prone, but he sure can play.

Worth a thought for 2010 if we don't get the Draft Picks we want.

I am sure you forgot to insert the emoticon to show you are not serious about us taking a 28 year old plodding midfielder?

If we don't receive the Draft picks we want in 6 weeks time, i said he is worth a look.

Our midfield at present is a joke. I watched those 3 games Earlier, particulairly the Shockers v Carltank at the Gold Coast.

For all his negatives Haselby is a Smart Footballer, which is more than we have now.

If we don't get those 2 high picks what would you suggest the club does?

Not get an injury prone, overweight 28 year old slow midfielder.

If we don't get two picks in the top 3, we will swear alot and move on.

I might cry a little...

Don't judge me.

You're judging me.

Ime with you there rpfc We shall all cry a few silent tears.

The reason i bought up Haselby is because he knows how to play the middle.

If his body is shot, fair enough WALK AWAY. But we need some real experience in the middle if we don't get the young elite.

I go Back to Pickett's First year with us. He Put some real Grunt & Fear in the middle & we Beat some Good Sides.

Yes he stayed a year too long. But if an experienced player is available on a one year contract situation.

It is well worth considering,if the Draft does not fall our way.

If we met in a dark alley way, I'd kiss you, not murder you.

You're golden. And yes, I would also cry, but refuse to be judged, y'all can f off

He's a front runner. We don't need anymore of them. That was the Daniher school. We need to build a different culture now.

Richmond would do something like that. Its called list management suicide.

WALK AWAY then...quickly. The best way to get experience in the midfield is to give the existing players game time not waste picks on age weary hacks that look good on paper. Haselby offers us nothing but a false quick fix that wont fix anything.

I go Back to Pickett's First year with us. He Put some real Grunt & Fear in the middle & we Beat some Good Sides.

And guess what he got injured toward the end of the season....again? We wasted pick 20 on that. It should be a salient lesson for you.

Er, thanks?

I didn't know those were the two options...

You must be Italian.

(That was a Sicilian mobster reference and not a racist remark about people of Italian descent)

(For those who still don't get it - Italian mobsters kiss people and kill people and that's the joke)

(Now realising - Not that funny, and were moving on...)

I think with Pick 2 in the PSD we could do a little better, and younger, than Paul Hasleby.

Don't get too worked up RR, the article about Haselby was in yesterdays paper. I didn't say do the deal. I said it was worth considering only if the draft doesn't fall our way

At present our Midfield is still a large concern going into next year.

Posted
On that we agree in spades.

Ime Glad about that mate!!! It staggers me how bad our midfield has become. And supporters want to win cheap late season games still.

Posted
I think WC will win but it doesn't matter anyway because Melbourne will finish the year with 6 wins, We will beat Freo, Rich, NM and probably Sydney this weekend.

We wont beat sydney, north or richmond

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
