Just between you and I, he still appears on our website as a listed player. I know I am a dreamer but I think it possible that the whole delisting story was just that , a story to help take the pressure off Mitch, and in kahoots with the AFL he will be able to play for us if he can return next year. Dreaming, I know, but it could happen.

Very good first post GG. And I agree with you.

I hate it when you're right and I'm a dill. I presumed, yes I know, I must be getting dull.

I think pick 2 is for Petracca. Roos is letting the world know we will trade. But the trade will be pick 3 or 4 or both. (PP & Frawley compo) He cannot say that at this stage.

It would be more but the Poll refused my vote.

With you there brother. They were horrible.

By definition best compares to others. Regardless of quality, the best of a bag rotten of apples is still the best. Nathan Jones tried. The thought of busting your gut when the rest of the team couldn't give a Rats is dispiriting. He may have been dragged down to the level of the rest of the team, but he was most definitely one of the best! He still earned 112 fantasy points (Better than Will Hoskin Elliot)

Sorry but you said he was not among the best. He clearly was. If he was not among Melbournes best who was??

I know how he feels, I have a member of staff that is lazy, disinterested and mistake prone. I have been looking for a replacement for 8 months. No suitable applicant, so lazy still has a job. The day a better prospect pops up lazy gets the chop.

Sorry, you had me going until you said no to Jones and Hogan and 20 blank spots.

Sorry KIKA, he was one of the best, the best of a very bad bunch.

I have not been able to write until now. I feel empty, gutted, disappointed. I am mystified to know what is going on. I cannot recall seeing such apathetic skill application. These are professional footballers! Nathan Jones is excused, no he is to be admired, how does he put up with the rest of his team? We cannot get rid of half of the playing list as much as we might want to. Frawley should go, we will both be better off. Jamar trade Matt Jones delist Ro Bail delist Dan Nicholson delist Luke Tapscott delist James Strauss delist Sam Blease delist I have to stop myself or i will list half the team. That is eight to go and could easily pick 15. I am sick of putting more effort into my footy team than the players.

You must have a lot of life savings. I'm guessing about $5 million. Safe bet though.

Not good head below?

Can't wait until Working Dog make a mini series about this fiasco. "Spot the Doper" Tom Gleisner as Little Paul Rob Sitch as Jaques Merde Santo Cilaro as Andy Dee Jane Kennedy as Tanya Merde Russle Coight as ASADA You know the storyline, all the truth and nothing but the truth. No one would believe that you could make this stuff up.

I explained Essendons obfuscation to my wife this way. It is like the police warning you that speed cameras are in the area. (Demetriou) You get booked for speeding, (ASADA) Then you complain that the police did the wrong thing by warning you about the speed cameras. (Essendon) Therefore you are innocent. ??????????? This is not a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.

I think you have the wrong idea about Melbourne supporters. I for one have been to the snow the last 5 weeks, going up again tomorrow, I still watch the replay when we win. Haven't seen much lately, that Neitz is a cracker isn't he. Must be off, traffic is hell on Friday on Buller Road, toodle pip.

The US draft method works for me. Last place no guaranttee of first pick. But the bottom sides have a greater chance to get first pick. ie Last place gets 18 lottery ticket to first pick in the draft, 17th get 17 tickets through to 1 st place 1 ticket, so the top team could get the first pick, their odds would be 170:1 It is far more likely that the bottom teams get the first pick, but no guarantee. No point to tanking.

I will be patient when I can walk the rice paper! In the mean time go Casey.

I think we should swap half forward lines with Casey. Casey HF: Salem, Hogan, Toumpas Melbourne HF: Michie, Frawley, Viney Edit: Listed players

On a totally unrelated topic and in the wrong place, the half forward line at Casey looks pretty good. I reckon we will give those Tassie Bombers a flogging next year.

Between you and me, I don't think he will miss you. And you couldn't miss a parting shot. I sometimes disagree with BB, we often get stuck in, but he regularly has valid points of view to which i often agree.

Former number 1 draft pick. Huge potential .Similar stats this year. Is he better than Scully? I say yes. No way we will get another deal like Scully.

I don't think WADA would be happy with that!

Schwarter is a Demon. I reckon he wants to put the wind up Watts. See if he can lift and show something in the last few rounds.
