It's been a long time since Melbourne has had one. They are the best players in the comp. Ultra damaging and super reliable. Have a look at Geelong's Premiership years: 2007 Bartel 18 Chapman 30 Johnson 49 Ablett 30 2009 Bartel 12 Chapman 37 Johnson 40 Varcoe 22 Ablett 27 2011 Bartel 26 Chapman 24 Johnson 50 Varcoe 31 And this eliminates top inside mids Selwood and Kelly; plus Enright, Corey and Scarlett coming off half back. No friggin' surprise it's the best team of the modern era.

Might as well . . . would be a better pickup than Robbie Campbell.

Can we also bring back the Interrobang? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang

Hold on. "This year's 'Gillette' AFL Trade Period." FMD.

What a crock of [censored]. Pull your head in. If Ted Richards can make it, anyone can. It's never too late to learn what it takes to be elite.

Is that Edwards from North Melbourne?

Can't wait for Viney, Jones in the middle and Mitch and Howe up front. We'll be a much better team for it. Praying we pinch a good midfielder from elsewhere too.

What about Spider Everitt taking Robbo's spot in the forward pocket?

Might be my favourite post in 8 years on this site. Stellar work.

The back 6 were spot on. The rest was a complete train wreck.

Best high flyer I've ever seen, though I didn't see Bob Pratt. Well done Jeremy.

I am hanging out for the party when we win our flag. The prospect of Dees winning a flag is as farfetched as any other sporting drought, and when the drought breaks it will be a feeling the supporters of Hawthorn/Essendon/etc (successful clubs) will never feel. The ultimate feat which we've been waiting 50 miserable years for. I don't know how old I'll be, but I will be one happy bugger. So that's the reason I support and will never support anyone else. I don't give a [censored] about any other sporting team in the world, just this one.

Would be shattered if Jared left. I am a huge fan. Think people are undervaluing him on here.

It's easy Nasher. They don't have reflections.

Unfortunately we may be keeping him and losing Rivers.

Carlton. Nothing story.

Well to be honest, the easiest way to taste success would be for me to change clubs, but dammit, my heart and soul won't let me.

I hope to hell everyone reads this. Perfectly said, Mr Toast.

Running around the tan =/= buying in.

There aren't.

Condolences to the family, players and the club. Shattering news. Apparently a very nice guy too. Freak accident. I hope they don't eliminate end of season trips for AFL players.

As soon as I saw this thread title I thought of this. Nice story: I brought along a lukewarm supporter to this match in 05 and since Jeff White kicked that goal, he's come nearly every week to the G; and is pretty fanatical these days!

Bit of payback for Fev last year! Really hindered Cook's development

Great game. Finals footy is so much better to watch.
