leave it to deever

Im waiting for dds book. The eternal optimist.... My life as a dees supporter. Nice words.

Mac boys.......2 wonderful bookends. Special mention to O mac. He survived the Watsonian criticism and has come out a very good player.

Yep.... I think i speak for most posters that we all like the bloke. For most seeing him fail would probably just be a validation of the club letting him go. As much as i like the guy i dont think i want him to win a Coleman somewhere else.

I get your post but its the nature of the beast so to speak. Think john mcenroe.

Hope we all get to see him soon.

I for one like many was saddened by the clubs decision. I also thought in light of how well Jack played in the last 2 years it was a bad decision. Now that its all said and done I can be less emotive about it and accept while a good player of late JW was not and I doubt will ever be a star. The highlights of him playing so well against Cwood someone posted are probably the fondest memories we all have of him. Lets be brutally honest.... there are not too many more. Yes his disposal was clever and he was one of the best said shots going around and yes hes a good backup option if Hogan and Mcdonald are injured and one of the other 3 forwards is not up to par. But that's it. If the decision made Lever happen by just 10 to 20 % (which Im sure it did) than we should all see the bigger picture and move on.

Don't forget too that it was his finest moment. As much as I wanted him to stay, I now accept that there were not many moments like this. (as good as it was).

We probably shouldn't have had this poll.

Hes a likeable enough bloke but I"m afraid that if he goes gangbusters this year I will feel a tad shortchanged and feel like he didnt do enough for Melbourne. Catch 22 for me. Best to just move on and accept that he will be pretty much the same player except when he plays his old team and like the rest of them seem to do .... kick a huge bag. Just the way it is. I do hope we that don't treat him like Scully though.

For the sake of matrimonial harmony I watch this show by myself.

Not to take anything away on a most deserving player..... But where is everyone else apart from Hibberd and Neville? I suppose TMAC but thats about it.

Oliver.

We also haven't been smashed by other teams. In fact, there have been very few smashings this season so therein lies the answer. Teams have never been closer than this season. Yes, I would love to see us put Norf away by 12 goals but I'd be happy with a 1 point win as well. We need to put this year and last against the backdrop of a decade of shite. We are not beating teams by more than 40 points but we are at least beating teams we have not beaten for eons. From that angle this team is awesome.

Thanks for the tip but I'm afraid the only help for me would be some sort of Venn diagram posted above the telly. Speaking of which congrats on the little "on" . You will watch even more now but it will be shows like telly tubbies. Enjoy.

I get so confused with this bloody show.

Most appropriate nickname "the wiz".........he was magical,,,,,,,,,,,,,an excitment machine. For the younger supporters think Garlett factor and double it.

You almost dont realise how bad the side was until you look at all the records. Sides must have waited with anticipation to play us and worse....... our team expecting to lose. So proud of the win against Hawks last year....Saints and crows this year. Lets follow up with a win this week and next. Last time 3 in a row?

I think their midfield review was before Oliver had asserted himself and before Lewis arrived. Remember how bad it was when Jones was tagged. Sometimes Vince picked up the slack. Watching the Dons game when Viney fired, WOW....how wrong did CD seem.

You must remember Rocktober

Are you sure it wasnt Wayne from St Albans?

Any chance of a line of Rodney Grinter balls? I.e basket, soccer, tennis etc.

You are one committed Melbourne supporter.

Playing so well for his age. Well done son. This team has oodles of talent.

For those who have compared Hogan to Stringer- Hogan is far better with his marking around the ground.

If we miss out on finals by 0.00132 of a percentage point....we will find him.
