Above all else we desperately need KPPs , not more in and under mid-fielders !

The results absolutely reflect the year from hell that we had . IMO for Bate to come third and Davey fifth suggests masssive dilemmas were faced by the voting panel in their struggles to find anyone worthy of giving votes to - the former was very ordinary and the latter was very poor .

It's common knowledge that he's a Demon supporter along with Dennis Cometti

3- WJ 2- Scoop Junior 1- Jade

Are you joking ?

I'd have thought we were all aware of Rivers' light frame and short stature being the only drawback to his being in the upper echelon of KPPs. In terms of body structure Rivers is a boy compared to Maguire .

Maguire is big , strong , talented and dirty - EXACTLY what we need !

I don't think the comments about your wife are correct - from what I hear she has no left foot !

My source is on the Carlton Board .

The negotiations between Judd and The Glues have been going on for over 3 months according to my source.

A Carlton senior official told me today that I should put any money I had on the fact that Judd will be playing for his team next season .

I saw TJ last weekend with his arm in plaster .

3 - Whispy Jack - intelligent , articulate , diverse 2 - Scoop Junior - sensible , perceptive , forthright 1 - Jaded - logical , rational , objective .

Almost . What I am saying is the effect of his being unable to contribute @ 100% capacity was " the major disappoinment "

IMO as the premier player in the team ,his absence from the team through injury , or even when playing encumbered by injury , his lack of imput was the single 'major disappoinment ' in the year .

He also very humorously described how one of his sons was still a fervent Melbourne supporter and idolised Davey and Robertson , but warned him not to venture too close to them as they would be disappointments .

Bartram - excused , absent injured Bate - second year blues Bell - made gradual gains Bizzell - retired too late Brown - played to ability Bruce - the major disappointment Buckley - little to enthuse Carroll - too much responsibility Davey - a wasted year Dunn - moments to savour Ferguson - same old sameness Frawley - injury curtailed development Garland - the jury's out Godfrey - handled tough assignments Green - steady and reliable Holland - some mercurial moments Jamar - an underwhelming year C. Johnson - may have expired P. Johnson - not the answer Johnstone - classy but detached Jones - the shining light McDonald - overworked and ageing McLean - ruined early on Miller - went nowhere quickly Moloney - ruined by injury Neitz - overworked and slowing Neville - the jury's out Newton - exciting but frustrating Petterd - showed enough early Pickett - a wasted year Rivers - a major loss Robertson - commendable despite injuries Sylvia - never gained momentum Ward - past his prime Warnock - little to admire Weetra - the jury's out Wheatley - great when fit Whelan - ruined by injury White - totally one dimensional Yze - past his prime Bode - a late developer

Brown - going with glory Carroll - year's worst game Bizzell - fumbled and humbled Ward - loose and disinterested Johnstone - huge possession accumulator McDonald - strangely ineffective game Bate - very minor involvement Pickett - classy but limited Dunn - classy but spasmodic Miller - effective in bursts Bode - showed some glimpses Bruce - playing out time Green - classy when required Robertson - heart and soul Ferguson - brave but limited C. Johnson - little to commend P. Johnson - certainly no defender Jamar - mistake- ridden performance White - should have dominated Newton - highs and lows Jones - not at best McLean - steady and dependable

I'll do it after the final round as always .

Like others previously , I also recall Brown's first agme against Carlton , when he saved the game with a sensational , and foolhardy full length dive and tackle which halted a forward thrust by the Blues with only seconds to go . He always put the team ahead of his own safety and I would always marvel at his heroics . Furthermore he has not overstayed his welcome and was probably our most consisitent performer over the last 4-6 weeks .

Putting a spanner in the works is last night's announcement that Melbourne has approached Dean Laidley's agent , thus ensuring that no announcement will be made until The Kangaroos' season is done and dusted .

6 - Green 5 - Brown 4 - McLean 3 - Robertson 2 - Pickett 1 - Jones

On reflection I think I may have been over - critical of McLean , but he has set such a high level for himself that we ( I ) expect him to perform herculean efforts each week .

Ok smartarse what's your opinion of the players ?

Brown - continues to shine Carroll - barber deserves conviction Ferguson - devoid of strength Ward - devoid of ability Miller - devoid of passion Green - only classy performer Jones - quicker decisions needed Dunn - needs settled position Johnston - looking towards vacation Pickett - loved his aggression Buckley - has shown little Bode - little to commend C. Johnson - chances have expired P. Johnson - lacks football understanding Neitz - no captain's leadership Bruce - diabolical foot disposal Robertson - playing out time Newton - major disappointment today White - pointless ruck domination Sylvia - played without purpose McLean - fast losing captaincy Jamar - nothing to commend
