Can you put yourself on ignore?

I think that's a paradox.

Whoops, I will be ignored if I keep this up...

Post-Neeld.

Structures.

Gerard Healy is bad.

Paul Roos good.

Phew. Saved it.

someone said earlier they think this forum is poorly moderated

No, it is just under-moderated

i think this place has only 2 mods. Needs to be a few more otherwise every thread will continue to be filled with garbage and arguments and go off topic and be unreadable

Christian Salem is no more less or no more impressive than Jordie Gysberts in the beginning.

I'm just as excited as anyone about this kid, just trying to personally keep a lid on it, will be tough..

For those of you who will say he's tougher than Gysberts you're probably right, but Gysberts was impressive in other ways, so im not directly comparing them

I just want those journos who criticized this trade to eat their words.

I think it was Kingy who defended the trade on 360 a few weeks back, rightly stating we needed two great players more urgently than just one potential superstar player.

I see Salem and Tyson as 250 game players with as much potential as Kelly it was two for one, even if Kelly is the best of the three all three are going to be A grade players and we got two of them and it cost us one

Dermie also said the same a few weeks ago on league teams.

fwiw I heard Dermie just prior to Round 1 saying, having been a part-time specialist coach at GWS, that Dom Tyson would be the best recruit any team got their hands on over the break.

He lauded Tyson's maturity and dedication to getting better.

Said there's no way this kid won't make it.

Obviously Tyson's form has dropped as the season has gone on, but it looks like Dermie might be right.

Good luck with that one.

I need to put up my hand and cop a slice of humble pie. I voiced my concern about picking Salem over Nathan Freeman and Luke Dunstan. But he has been nothing but super for us this year. His pin point delivery and poise is such a delight to watch. While Dunstan will be a good player, Freeman is currently struggling in the VFL.. could you imagine the wrist slashing lol

I love how he took Franklin on last night and surprisingly managed to get away from him. I would love to see him push up into the midfield but i don't think we will see that till next year. Leave him where he is now he is developing just fine. He add grunt and hardness his decision making is top notch.

A midfield combo of Salem Petracca Brayshaw Tyson Viney Stretch ANB and Toumpas looks quite formidable in years time.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
