I take it RPFC, youll be presenting the results to the National Census?

Maybe.

A lot of you don't think he can/will take Rivers' spot in the side.

It's not groundbreaking news but I think that a lot of you are right.

    THEORETICAL LINE UP

    B: Warnock Garland Frawley

    HB: Grimes Rivers Morton

    C: Green Moloney Davey

    HF: Sylvia Bate Bruce

    F: Jurrah Watts Wonaeamirri

    R: Jamar McDonald Scully

    Int: Johnson Trengove Blease Martin

    Jones, Bennell, Bell, Cheney, Jetta, Maric, Pettard, Strauss, Miller, JOEL McDONALD

    OK, now from what I can see we've got our fair share of half-back flankers, not all of which are currently at the same level as JM, however enough that are, and enough young blood to suggest this isn't really the position we need to be gearing up for.

    The only potential weakness I see is we are 1 tall short of a future devastating forward line.

    Mitchell Thorp for mine is worth the punt with PSD 1. Another spec tall forward in the ND (i.e. Talia or Black), a ruck option in Vardy or Gaw and some Troy Taylor or Liam Patrick excitement, then I'm starting to tingle.

    Whatever happens, we're on the right path. In Barry I trust.

    as an aside...I see elsewhere mentions of a 2 year deal already done with JM and that he's started training with us already . Can anyone verify ?

    cheers

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
