    There has been some quality HTBs in the last 24hrs on here, this is up there!

    As to your OP... his body of work suggests he would have for right in this year at Melb but I would hope we are past a J Watts.

    Admin, can we merge this with the 'Get Izzy Falou' thread?

    Must confess that I was open to having Scully back on the basis of minimum pay and a one year deal which is what I understand Hawks paid. Okay he didn't star but he was a very useful player.

    We took KK instead as our project player and well..............

    What about bringing back Jesse too? My mail is that he's not happy atm

    Bookmark it.

    Basically, the Trent Croad trades all over again. Or even better, the Chris Tarrant trades.

    It wasn't really a choice between the two though was it? Scully was never coming back even if we wanted him too.

    Indeed !

    The thrust of your thread has altered somewhat Jim. However, I reckon men discussing breast possibilities is a sensible Sunday arvo option.

    Especially when one's footy team is [censored] and the cricket doesn't start for a few hours!

    As the cricket tension rises, there is still relief in watching the Vuelta wend its way through the vineyards, orchards and captivating villages of Spain.

    Ironically he's the exact player we're screaming out for. That last kick into the forward 50.

    That bit's correct. The problem, though, is that he has to get the ball before he kicks it and that's the bit that was his problem.

    I think that problem is somewhat overstated by the emotional bias that some punters on this forum have against Jack.  Paul Roos got some decent output from Jack as both a defender and forward during his time as coach, it was only until Goodwin took the reins that Jack's game seemed to fall apart on the field.

    Not only was Jacks ability to find team mates by foot pretty elite, he was/is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the league, which is an area that we fell over in massively at times this year.

    I'm surprised this topic didn't come up earlier for us this season.

    Do you remember one of his tweets on the way out. Paraphrasing but "I guess they don't want players that can kick after all"

    I'm tearing up Jim !!!!

    The notion of a sinner returning to the path of righteousness and godliness always does that to me.

    ( Never worked for me of course)

    Nor me Uncle!!

    Thanks for that lesson in humility Rusty!

    It seems I pick cricket teams about as well as I pick footy teams!

    Haha sorry uncle.  All in good jest.  I thought the same yesterday!

    As for footy teams dw, i know the feeling all too well!

    As dedicated minions being flogged on a regular basis is something we appear destined to endure.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
