Will be worse next week if Dunn has to play on Clark

Someone who doesn't complain but instead works harder would be much more impressive

Was a bit annoyed when he got rid of pick 23 but then to get a player who was imo pick 23 quality anyway in ANB, as well as Oscar Mac was just great

How could it be a bad call? What do you think is going to happen to him out there? Worst case scenario, he gets subbed off in the 3rd and comes out of it with an understanding of what is required to play in the AFL

100% I would take Aish and I know everyone in this thread would It all depends on the asking price

Yep - Which is what we should be aiming for instead of trying to find some sort of fairytale deal

What about Craig Bird? Not getting a game at Sydney at the moment but has shown in the past that he can be very valuable in that run-with role. Obviously he won't be that 'star' player that we are still crying out for but we also need guys who are capable and able to lead our younger players while they are still developing .

Real insightful OD. "Don't make mistakes". Perfect.

How many of his disposals were actually useful? How many times did he release someone on the outside, or kick it to the advantage of someone ahead? I'd love to see his metres gained - I'd be tipping it wouldn't be that much considering the amount of possessions he had. Don't think he was the reason we got up and running at all. That was very much due to Vince and Jones

Fair to say Lumumba had a poor game. Got a fair bit of the ball by his standards which turned out to be a bad thing. Credit to him though, rarely did it hurt us. Don't think he got caught once

I do love him, but Gawn doesn't have a tank and was really exposed by Grundy I thought - Will probably get another chance though just for Roos to confirm that we really are [censored] in the ruck department For those who want Fitzy out? Why? I didn't even notice him up until his error in the goal square. Because Jesse White had done absolutely nothing for the whole game! He will stay in the side I think Out: Jones, vandenBerg In: Tyson, ANB

Was a legend at the doggies and quickly becoming one at the dees Has been invaluable this year and the last

Changes? When the opposition has a loose man in defence, start manning him the [censored] up

That's great to hear Having a mentor like Robbie Gray would be invaluable

Pendles still struggling with an ankle so he'll probably be spending a fair bit of time forward I can see Viney going to Sidebottom

He is getting rid of it for charity I think so can't say too much about it

This just gets better and better

Really hope Garland doesn't walk Has been one of our best this year

I was initially responding to SWYL, who did mention 186, before you jumped in - I'm assuming, to try and prove his point? And we may have lost to Adelaide, but they were coming into the game with some strong form, and we showed some spirit and never dropped our heads. I never expected to beat them, but they came close and it was a game worth watching. I don't see what being inconsistent has to do with this? I'm arguing that we've shown improvement this year - i.e. We are no longer a bottom 2 side. Which I think our wins so far have shown

What about against Richmond? Gold Coast? Adelaide? Yes we were pathetic on the weekend. Insipid even. But we have played exciting footy this year. Something I haven't seen from Melbourne in a long time. Using the fact that we lost by 186 points one time as a reason to never be comprehensively beaten again is just silly.

You can say we've improved when you look at our win against the Doggies. You can't just pick and choose games to suit your point.

Lumumba seemed to be playing on him early Who knows what happened after that I know Lumumba didn't get a touch in the last qtr

GWS game last year takes the cake for me

Broke Dempsey's record I think
