Ben McKinley anyone ? Don't know much of Jim other than he wants to come home.

Considering the report states "unprovoked" wondering how he got himself into trouble? I dont know either way but as fans we are too flippant about these boys and the careers ahead of them. Maybe a dose of compassion at the fact he has bruising on the brain would not go astray?

Cannot agree with this enough, I can't believe the gold coast can have red white blue yellow when most of the league has these colors, why create the need fir a clash strip when it's a blank canvas? The jumper looks like a training jumper, where are the bold clear cut shapes not the new age graphics? GWS should be bold no doubt with an eye on the past, it took port 10 years to figure it out.

After 10 or so games, Scully really should be better...considering he weighs 65 kgs wringing wet. As for Grimes he has had double that!! Our issues lie with our senior players who have not cut it for some time. Dont label these boys with the pressure of the past 5 years. Support them! They are our players!

I was there in the MCC members last night, on the wing right where he picked it up and then watched him bounce away and had a perfect view of the goal, the first was amazing....he is a big man, blindingly quick, the second....well I along with Hawthorn, Essendon and neutrals fans alike, I can quite clearly say I went bonkers. The place was going bananas. I have always said about champions is that you know they are great....then they go and be great.... and then you still cant believe how great they are. I was a privlidge (?? ) to see it.

Its going to be chilly in the morning, maybe we can all make a little statement as most of us could not go to the game this week and wear your Melbourne scarf when you go for a morning walk to grab a coffee and the paper. Show the city we are coming.

Yeah by about a point. These are the games that can bring sides togethor for a long time, beating a better side in touch conditions, well done boys...no griping on this board...a win is a win is a win. We would have taken a one point win anytime over the last few years. Enjoy it.

I would hate to see what type of bloke you are when we lose considering you posted after the game. So I got it wrong...Boo freaking hoo. Good authority was a guy who regularly plays golf with him and used to live with him. Smile, we won and lose the big dirty black cloud that you seem to carry around. And if you cant stand the threads....hmmmm....waiting.....hey I've got it....dont read them and only read the 100% true threads that pertain to facts and no opinions at all.

On good authority, (a mate who knows him) has suggested Newton is 90% sure to play as some one from the backline has not come up, possibly due to illness.

Hmmm.....an amazing presence on and off the field? multiple premiership coach?....Yes I could not stand that either. While I am happy with Bails, he is yet to prove a thing apart from being able to endure the past two seasons and not have a twitch...the proof will come over the next 2 years. Sheeds deserves way more respect than that and has a created a rivalry, whether concocted or not, with Sydney from nothing. We would love publicity like he brings. Imagine him talking up the Dees, about the group we have been building...maybe poking fun at the Hawks...Have they missed their chance at multiple flags etc? ( I think not) but it would certainly have many column in the paper talking about us.

Appreciate the idea....but does anyone else get a little tired of the "traditional" games? The fixture is less and less a draw and more a few odds and ends games built around the same teams playing the same time of year. Eg: Carl v Rich opening the season, dream time at the G etc Maybe I am just a sook.

Whats strauss number?

as long as it is something tangible. As mentioned I hate the power, force, storm type names etc.

For clarification, 2 teams passed on Jordan, this first selected a future hall of famer and top 5 center of all time, the 2nd drafted a bust but they already had a multiple all star at his position, so they had Jordans position filled for the next 10+ years. Not to nit pick but....

Did I hear something on 3AW about Wojinckski (??) being availaable? Is he signed up at the cats? Would prefer over Tenace.

confirmed or a rumour?

Our logo while hardly inspiring is recognisable, what about if we went down the path of a shield or the MFC (like the Yankees) est 1858 or like. Like Saints or arsenal ( i think)? Just a thought.

Cant remember the last ime I was arrested for assaulting someone. This is exactly why it continually happens. Why make excuses for them? They had a long season? Boo Hoo. I work 6 days a week why shouldnt I blow off some steam by assaulting an innocent bystander and get away with it? They are just footballers like anyone else, they should be made accountble for their actions.

The same people were moaning when we traded Johnstone for pick 14. How is that Grimes kid holding up?

Getting us out of being a basket base of a state was no mean effort. JK was fantastic for the state and except for the last few days has been great for the Hawks.

So you are happy to be a supporter of a club that has not one a premiership for decades and they have been a dominant force for 30 years? One weekend does not undo all the success they have had.

Beamer?? Seriously Not another case of over inflating an MFC players worth I hope.

Surely the saints have a wee bit more to play for? Spots in the side? momentum? Form? Funny ol' game footy
