The match review from DOCKERLAND has just scared the bejesus out of me. I'm really terrified of what they could do to us tomorrow after reading that!

Which of the teams has fared the worst since that game? For Melbourne, the following could all be missing: James Frawley, Nathan Carroll, Jared Rivers, Brent Moloney, Brock McLean, Russell Robertson, Brad Green, Jeff White (?) and James McDonald (?) I don't know much about Freo but I would say from their injury list that Marcus Drum, Des Headland and Andrew Foster will alll be out. Dean Solomon won't be seen till next year and Peter Bell has retired.

Green to miss one, maybe two Make it three just to be safe!

"ADELAIDE Crows midfielder and Brownlow Medal hopeful Scott Thompson has received a suspended sentence for injuring a friend in a car crash." - Adelaide Now. Magistrate said he could have sent him to jail!

Apart from the increased membership numbers in the last couple of weeks is there any news of large donations or sponsorships or was that all a bit of a pipedream?

So are West Coast tanking to get NN or Rich?

Excellent point about the lack of star quality players at the club. However, where do you get stars from and why haven't we able to produce them over the years in the way other clubs have?

Almost 100% correct. According to my mates out Swan Districts way, NN is now nudging 200cm tall.

Just in case anybody's interested NN absolutely dominated in the WA v NSW/ACT game at the Australian Championships today. Got virtually every hit out, most of them went to advantage and was good around the ground playing like a midfielder. Oh, and he's only 197cm tall and growing. On the other hand, Daniel Rich was tightly tagged in the midfield and only had limited impact although his disposal was very good. He's also a strong bodied type which makes him similar in style to a few of our midfielders. At this stage you would have to say that the prize for winning the wooden spoon will be a dynamic young ruckman who can leap tall building and has dreadlocks.

STYNES TIPPED TO CHAIR THE TROUBLED DEMONS An interesting development. Anyone know if something will come of this?

That's fair enough but Robbo's bagging of fansites is much more insiduous than that. What he's doing is painting us all in the same light as the idiot minority of posters on all sites who type first and think later. I don't agree that any of the fansites - particularly not this one - are anything like the picture Robinson painted in his article which makes it a bad piece of journalism.

Wrong. I'm the one who called him a pickle and it's not just because he threw his weight behind Joe. It's the malevolent way he did it then and the fact that he's doing the same thing now. Criticism and especially constructive criticism of the club is always welcome but if all you can do is bag the place then you're a waste of time and that's why I think Dr. Turf is a pickle. He's much better off playing the stupid clown but I'm not so sure that it's an act.

Wouldhave been better to the tune of The Captain by Kasey Chambers. Can anyone do that!

It seems to me that Dr. Turf would know a fair bit about incompetence because that's what he called Joe Gutnick when he supported the Szondy ticket that overthrew him. In other words, Turfie is one of the people who backed the group that came to power in 2001 and gave us Szondy and a succession of others like the idiot he had as CEO a few years ago who left the tax bill in the top drawer isntead of paying it. Thanks Turfie but you're a pickle!

Every freak in the country is either on the show or watching it.

It will beneficial for the football team as well because they've been asked to stay on the ground to watch a few 14 year olds show them how to effectively execute the Bailey game plan.

I believe they will be locking the gates at 2.11pm to keep the Melbourne supporters in the ground.

97.5 demerit pionts with 25% off for pleading guilty. He plays.

The fact that he looks like Harpo Marx is not his fault. He was born like that. I just want him in the team ASAP.

Good get!

He was chief strategist for the Iraki army in 2003 and followed that up with a stint as financial adviser at Enron. He was once driving instructor for Princess Di's chauffeur and was also consulted by Britney Spears on parenting.

The Hawks will certainly miss their suspended quartet but otherwise they have just about their best team team on the park. I can name at least six Melbourne players who will be missing on Sunday and who would normally be in our best 22 - they are Clint Bartram, Matthew Bate, Colin Sylvia, Lynden Dunn, Jared Rivers and Matthew Whelan. That evens up the ledger as far as I'm concerned and there are no excuses for either side.

Just wondering if your MFC membership ticket gets you into the game for this Sunday as it's an away game.

Too true, the AFL has hijacked our celebration - we should be suing the bastards. The least they could have done was had us playing the opening game at the G as our home game - perhaps against Collingwood or Essendon.

Another donation here. I just want to say that I have been an almost daily visitor to this site for the past 8 seasons and it has helped to keep me sane and to get through the day at work. I'm happy to finally be able to give something back to help keep this site online. I don't know where I'd be without it.
