[demonoid 317]

Nice theory there...Carl Marx??

Perseverance pays off for Melbourne rookie Tom Couch

Nice one.

[beelzebub 23,383]

Look out..... The Dees are off the Couch !!

Good luck son; well deserved id say !

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Well deserved. Congrats.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Moloney in trouble.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

4 goals in the two's last week! Must know how to kick a sausage.

Well overdue for a debut.

[Hatchman 539]

About bloody time.

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

Well done. Tom has earned an opportunity, and hopefully he will grasp it with both hands..

Finally! Well deserved... great to see a young player's perseverance pay off.

I saw him get heavily tagged against Sandy? I think? - anyway, he only had half a dozen possessions, so I hope he has been coached well and learnt from that experience.

Good luck to him.

In for Magner, I reckon.

Will wait for the side to be announced before I get to excited....What does the Geelong Addy know?????

Great news!!! But expectations need to be low and we should not expect him to come in and dominate kicking 4 goals a game for Dees (well here is hoping).

Not the greatest shot of him in the Hun haha

oh and ps "He was placed back on the rookie list when Jetta returned to the senior list two weeks ago..." thought so...

Wrapped for the kid!

Has done more than most to earn a call up.

Good to see the young fella's hard work rewarded. It'll be interesting to see whether he's thrown into the midfield or used mainly as a half forward

Not sure if memory serves me correctly, but that may have been the game where he found a way to kick the goal that won the game after a really tough day at the office.

Guts.

Coming off the couch Bench?

Or straight in?

Well done young Couch. they tell me he can spread all over the field like a weed.

[thaipantsman 180]

Magner or Moloney. Hope Magner stays in only because of my Super Coach prospects. Bennell?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Good to see Neeld and the selection committee read Demonland.

People Power!

[stinga81 210]

Well done young fella.

Certainly has earned it.

Straight in!! 94K and a good swap for Marely Williams

[Clark_Kent 315]

What's the bet he has an OK first game and people here crucify him and add him to the 'DEAD WOOD' list haha

An article on the MFC site confirms it.

Can we not get fined for this? I thought we weren't allowed to announce inclusions/exclusions prior to 6:25pm.

[GRUN DEE 69]

Awesome! Go gettem Couchy!

I hope we dont start him as the sub.

[AshaDasha 27]

Out: Spencer, Dunn, Magner.

In: Jamar, Green, Couch.

Just what i think.

Debuts seem to be different. This isnt the first time a club has said xxx to debut. Gibson was the last one from memory. Maybe we can do it for first gamers?

Thank christ.
