That was a much beeter effort from the Byronator..Still some way to go to justify the money...This particular jury member is still out!!

The question that needs to be asked, is not what has Byron done, but what can he do?

For some, the answer is not a lot.

However, I still hold some faint hope that Byron can turn things back around.

For me the ledger is still in the red in regards Byron. Much faith 9 let alone money ) has been invested. i want to sereal returns, not 'passages ' of play...good that they were, a handful of 'top' efforts does not a season make.

MUST KEEP BYRON in '08 :angry: :angry:

HAHAHAHA..........now that is comedy!!!!!!!

At least our supporters are as inconsistent as our team!

and watch Yze magic run and hide. haha.


I would like to see him return next year, but, under very strict conditions. We must be prepared to be tough with him and demand that he does not balloon up again over the off-season and be prepared to submit to regular tests to ensure that this is not happening. We must also be prepared to be ruthless and be prepared to release him for not meeting fitness targets even if this means playing one short.

A question, can you promote a rookie to replace a player who has been released after the final lists are announced?

Pickett should only stay if he accepts that he has to get fit, and stay fit.

He should be told that he has to turn up at day 1 of pre season training at a certain weight and be able to do a 3 km time trial in a certain time.

If he is overweight and/or doesn't meet the time trial target he is out the door.

Then he should be given similar weight/time trial times he must meet for the year. Again, the first time he can't meet the criteria he is out the door.

Yes agree with that and 1 yr contract with low base and decent match payments.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
