Colin Sylvia, just hope last season was not a flash in the pan.

Very tactical Rhino...and I like it

hun reporting deal done with hawthorn, pick 9 + player to be revealed today

I dont know much about him...but wouldn't that make it a better deal for us??

I hate it how people keep referring to Richmond taking two mids and this is why we should draft Butcher. It was a one off and I would hope we will take the best available, most likely being Scully and Trengove

Started the season well and thought he would of been up there, but no suprise really. We never really seem to get much of a run even when we were a decent team, I still havent forgiven them for putting Spider in a pocket and leaving Robbo out in 2004 I think it was when he had a stellar season.

Nobody I would think

Again, a lot comes down to who is under contract for next year. Also, to clarify, can anyone tell me how long we are able to keep Valenti on the rookie list

How can Matthew Lloyds stupid little back heel win goal of the year and this doesnt even get a goal of the week nomination??? My favorite Jurrah moment from yesterday when he started giving his opponent advice about taking hold of the ball rather than punching, it was very funny.

Final Melbourne Team Backs: S.Martin, J.Frawley, K.Cheney Halfbacks: C.Bartram, J.Rivers, R.Petterd Centreline: J.McDonald, L.Dunn, C.Morton Half forwards: B.Moloney, B.Miller, N.Jones Forwards: N.Jetta, M. Bate, L.Jurrah Followers: P.Johnson, A.Davey, C.Sylvia I/C From: T.McNamara, S.Valenti, B.McLean, R.Robertson Emg: J.Spencer, M.Jamar, J.McKenzie

Am happy with Grimes over any player on that list, but he will not come second.

Robbo to play...let him bow out with a victory (hopefully)

That was such a filthy hit on Simmonds on Long, and he started compaining to the umpire about the free kick. He was washed up by this stage. Dean Wallis also a thug/[censored]. Jeff White was a gun before the circle was introduced, we were killing them in the clearances early because of his leaps over Barnes Another note, I laughed when the commentators kept mentioning each interchange, with some players not getting onto the ground for the first time until late in the 2nd quarter. Not sure what the interchange numbers were those days but that is a part of the game that has changed so much. All in all, they were a much better side and destroyed us around the ground.

Rhino does have a sense of humour after all

Lets not forget that he actually did show something in his first half dozen games under Riley. The problem is we havent seen any improvements in his game in 2 years

Its not dropping them, its tanking

He has been good most of this year and will be up there in the B&F. Would be more deserving of it this year than last year. How Brad Green didnt win it last year is still a disgrace in my eyes.

Holy [censored]. That is a great mark. The bloke he sat on was a big boy aswell

I completely disagree. There are some very valid points. Why lump the extra pressure of press conferences and the whole media circus in the whole week leading up on an 18 year old kid still at school. And it would seem it was to get an extra 5-10k through the gate. Luckily, Jack looks to be the sort of kid who wont be affected by it too much.

Especially after a win, it would take an amazing performance to beat him this week.

I think we get first dibs on putting him on our rookie list if we want to, but he can turn the offer down and go in the draft if he thinks he is good enough. Having said that, watched him on Wednesday, he looked ok, but not up to AFL standard, so I dont think we will have to worry about it
