Think buddy and Roughead It's outside the square. But they are stocking up on midfielders. forwards are hard to come by just ask The Bulldogs and us.

With the addition of newton today, Could Melbourne pull a surprise and get Two forwards in McCartin and Wright ? We have Jones, Tyson, Viney, Toumpas, Salem, Michie, JKH, newton, watts etc so targets Dawes, Howe, hogan, mcCartin and Wright? Something different.

Will Blease be the surprise inclusion and play run with role with Boomer Harvey ? I wont be surprised, smother boomer with pace and pressure, take him out of the game.

We were at home listening to same broadcast, we had it up full volume, it felt like we were at the ground. We were riding every contest. Was great to belt the song. I Wonder if the neighbours heard.

im so impressed with Salems smarts and skills, this kid is going to be great. I hope toumpas gets a full game, ive been happy with his last two weeks

I think our guys are fit, I think its important to get continuous weeks of injury free football.

Yeah we lost a game and we had a chance to win. But geez we are a long way from the side we have been over the last 5 years. We nearly rolled the ladder leaders ! Every game im going in with this feeling we are a chance. So got to be happy.

i think gawn will make way for Dawes.

Yeah Prestia would be good addition.

Why would we waste that much money, Look for the next Dom Tyson id say. Also a young tall forward to work in tandem with Hogan.

This will be a season defining game imo. We take on the ladder leaders and if we take the contest to them and push them all the way, we will gain so much from it going into the back end of the season. We just know Roos will be demanding effort and pressure, its a given now which is what im enjoying most about the season thus far.

Looking back Id have to agree. As a 12yr old i was devistated seeing Buckanara kick that goal. Now that moment is part of the AFL/VFL History.

With all the improvement to the team, we cant underestimate the influence that Daniel Cross has had on the group on the training track and in games. This was a great decision and will only look better as the season goes. Its shows how important quality experienced players are to the side.

Was going to comment and got a headache trying to figure it out. So give up lol. Why would you rest Salem ? I wouldnt thought he needs it, specially with the bye. Jetta to come back in but for whom ? tough one. Frawley in for the suspended Dawes is the only one I can think of. Everyone is contributing, so going to be interesting to see.

Matt Jones is a success story, mature age, 53 in draft. that is a win.

Good to see hes no longer a lone hand and has got better. He is a serious footballer, he is elite.

It was a period in the 3rd quarter I think, the tigers had the ball and we them under all sorts of pressure and we were laying tackle after tackle which resulted in a turn over. My Mrs jumped and yelled at the top of her voice " We are no longer P*ssy's" She couldnt have summed it up any better. The days of being able to run over us without a fight are over.

That handball to Viney in Q2 resulting in a goal was Handball of the year.

Roos commented at start of season he thought Dom will be a star. Im happy to back his judgement. Hes getting better by the week.

im sure Roos said he was substituted due to him running out of legs, rather than concussion. As he has played every game including pre-season in his first year. With this being the case im sure if Garland is ready to go and sounds like he got through the game well today, that its a given they will rest Georgiou and bring in Garland.

From watching Carlton the other night, we wont come close even with the ins you suggest.

We cant expect Hogan to save us, he will take time. If you look at GWS, its taking time for Patton and Boyd the same age yet to play. We so need a Dawes and Clarke to get back on the park to start with. But that wont mean a instant win.

You would hate to be playing in the forward line when Roos states we dont have one. Exceptions to Howe.

Its been a while since my last post, but it seems not much has changed. We are still bad and Jones is still out best and we still dont have a forward line.

I think looking at what Roos can do to the players you mentioned will be the most facinating thing to see next year. We expect, Jones, Viney, Hogan etc to flourish. But Can he make a real player of someone like Tappy and make him 20+ touches player whom playes every game.
