We had Collingwood players come to our school today, Harry O, Clinton Young and Jonathan Marsh (rookie list).

I asked them about Melbourne's improvement and their thoughts on the way we play. It was amazing to hear them say how much harder we are to play against and the competitive edge that has been added over the past year. They also commented on how brutal our defence has become to play against, stating during the Queens birthday game it was tough to break it down.

Most of all i was impressed to see the respect that has clearly been instilled into opposition players who no longer take us lightly. This time last year we had Collingwood players, Goldsack and Jamie Elliot to stated we werent too good at the moment.

Great to hear.

Paul Roos said when he got the job all he wanted was to be competitive and win the respect back from the AFL.

Roosy should be our PM.

still can't believe he is our coach.

"Roosy should be our PM"

Typically flippant comment from someone who clearly doesn't grasp the difference between the complexities of job demands between an AFL Coach and the job of Prime Minister of Australia!

Ah, Tony Abbotts response to escalating world conflict not "Up to Par"?? Dazzle?

Poor example,

Want to try again Champ?

Gotta say JVFP, when I saw the !!! in the title I assumed it was a 'picket fence' thread..

Paul Roos said when he got the job all he wanted was to be competitive and win the respect back from the AFL.

Unfortunately, you are right, and its reflected in the whole 3-year-limit succession plan thing.

I wish his real mission was to win a flag.

Now now, just because he systematically excludes the evidence bases for informed public policy, sees negotiation as an affront to his manhood, engages in gratuitous cruelty just to show who is in charge, and is setting out to cripple the medium-term national finances with a series of short-sighted interventions that rip apart programs which make a substantial net gain for government expenses...

Well, ok, I'm for the chimpanzee. At least a chimpanzee understands that smashing a banana against a rock because you are too lazy to peel it is kind of dumb.

Oh, hey, that was Picket Fence making those comments protecting Abbott. Lol, maybe he's a climate denier as well as an disposal efficiency denier?

Also, it was really nice of those Collingwood guys to praise the Demons in a context where they had absolutely no obligation to.

From the sound of it, it was more than just 'it was a tougher game than last year', but a real 'they were better opponents than last year'. A subtle but edifying difference.

Good to avoid politics in a footy forum, but anyone who interprets an enthusiastic "Roos for PM' remark as an attack or sleight on their favourite politician is just a tad over-sensitive (tad used ironically).

Great to hear/read that they find us harder to play against, wonder what would have been said if we beat them!

That response to a phrase often used to show respect for someone whose achievements you admire would seem to indicate that our friend and fellow poster is a few pickets short of the full fence.

My only question mark over the original post is... why are Collingwood players visiting your school; isn't it time to get a few Dees doing the rounds?

I can't resist it... I can't.... I know it is old, cliched and tired, but I can't resist.

The Collingwood players weren't actually 'visiting' as such, they were there for their fifth attempt at Year 8...

    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
