Since when does offering the captaincy have anything to do with Fyfe coming to Melbourne? Fyfe will only come to Melbourne because he will see us as a genuine premiership contender and achieve great success in the next couple of years. Has absolutely jack [censored] to do with the captaincy. For all we know the Freo players dont rate his leadership at all.. So what that say really.

Thread needs more Billy Love!! How was the roar when Billy dashed through the middle inside 50 and nailed the goal. Future 200 game player is our little Billy!

If there was a big positive out of yesterday in a pretty dull full of sloppy errors its Billy Stretch. Its ridiculous how clean, calm and poise he is under extreme pressure while other more experienced players crumble under the pressure.His gut running and spread is a highlight and shows the incredible workrate that he has. We rave about Petracca Oliver and Brayshaw but Stretch should be talked amongst those guys as he is very underrated and goes about his business in a quite way. Keep up the good work Billy!

Well doesn't that [censored] throw spanner through the works. Really [censored] off now. I swear our young talent can never take a trick at this club.

The ANB spray is one of the all time best! Gave him an absolute bath

Must be embarrassing being a lion's supporter knowing your team was beaten by a TAC cup team.

I never said that. I said if the AFL don't look into it and investigate then he WILL get away with it every week.

AFL should investigate or at least ask for a pleasr explain otherwise he will continue to get away with it every week. Drops his knees at every opportunity and sucks the umps in at all costs. Add him to the most punchable heads too..

Hope so mate. Always thought his first year was one of the most impressive first year debut i have seen in a very long time. Probably second behind Jeager bomb from Gold Coast.

You can thank Tim Lamb for that who spotted him playing a praccy match up here in Benalla!

Impressive article on Oliver. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/melbourne/clayton-oliver-has-all-the-hallmarks-of-a-future-champion-just-five-games-into-his-career/news-story/4795d46a0eb940c6b84f4bd039f76686

Maybe some sort of welfare role with him and Tammy that look after newnrecruits from interstate/country. Bit like what the Lamberts did at GWS and nor Brisbane. They could all bunk at his mansion.

Wonder if we could use Roosy like how Essendon with Sheedy right now? Alot of marketing and promotional stuff.

Roosy on 3aw mentioned that he would still like a part time role at the club after he finishes but obviously thats not the main focus now.

I still laugh about last year against Adelaide when he completely ragdoll a crow player and just literally grabbed and threw him out of the pack with such ease. He is living up to his name.

For not only saving this club from turmoil but bringing back the fun and enjoyment in what its actually like to support a real AFL club now. They preached patience that it was going to take time but the rewards would be there Not only did we just smash out all time membership record we are now starting to put on a consistent performance each week. It is exciting and i have self belief that we are finally set for the next couple of years with some success. These two will be forever indebted to the Melbourne Football club for the mountain of hardwork thats been put in and we are now starting to hopefully see the rewards. I should also note the development team led Brendan McCartney. To see players like Gawn and Viney borderline elite is something this side hasn't had since probably the Lyon Flower days.. Its a good time to be a Melbourne supporter.

Yep

Agree. Not enough love for Jason Taylor and his recruiting team for biting the bullet not get sucked in by the hype Twomey and likes spruik out.

Sorry I shouldn't do this but been watching Parsh and he has butcherd the ball and looks bit overawed.. We nailed this.

How good was his contested mark against a more senior and bigger Callan Ward

Came out in the Herald Sun.

Just watched the video. First of all Roosy is all class, i could watch that all day. Btw did anyone see the big handshake he gave Clarry then huge grin afterwards. That tells me Roos knows he has something pretty special and is a marrive wrap for the kid.

Really..? Think we all forget how good Trengove debut year was. And as much as I can't stand the little weasel Scully too was pretty impressive. In fact Scully best year in AFL football in terms of disposal was his first year. Their impact on their first year was very impressive especially Trengove. Could you imagine if we got that Trengove of 2010-2011 back? oh my.... Also make the case for Jack Viney who was BOG In his debut game against the horrible loss against Port

I would be very surprise. In fact couldn't think of anything more stupid to do. He was born a senior player right from when I watched him absolutely ragdoll kids last year and his last 3 weeks has proved that this is exactly his level. If he needs a rest we'll give him a week off. [censored] Casey
