Aww shucks Bub, we aim to please !!!

Amen......

Exactly right Deanox, including the fact that another woman has publicly stated that the "victim" gloated about bedding a few NRL players. But FWIW group sex is not gang rape, and despite what Four Corners want out of this particular piece of journalism it doesn't change that fact....... None of the parties involved in the Cronulla scandal (for what it was) has been accused of that so those making that assertion (Hazy) may want to a little careful. Just that she felt poorly after doing what she did, which however many people she chose to do it with. Moral judgments aside that is about the crux of the matter. And it has blown Sydney up over the past week. As for this Melbourne related nonsense, there has been a massive debate on here. One side wanting to think that Jim is and always will be wrong, the other thinking the opposite. Neither are right. I haven't heard the speech but my guess is it was probably open to misinterpretation and misinterpreted it was. I have no problem with Coglin wanting to correct any perceived inaccuracies he may have heard, and if it had stopped at two blokes discussing what is best for their football club then so be it. Hopefully it will help in the long run. But it goes beyond that once the media get involved. I can't understand why you would call the Herald Sun for the simple purpose of protesting against one statement made in a speech. Would anyone in the press or outside of that room really cared about the comment beyond Coglin and his legacy (which he is more than entitled to be protective of) if the media weren't dragged into it. The unfortunate result here is that whether he meant to or not (I don't know) this shakes the club and from my point of view that really could of and should of been avoided.

6. Morton 5. Moloney 4. Davey 3. Grimes 2. Martin 1. Bate

Your right Mr Morton....... But the truth is that playing out of our forward line can be very difficult at times (delivery can be very suspect very frequently, despite the excellent intent), and therefore if you are judging a player simply on possessions then it is way harder to get these when up forward than it would have been if playing in the back half. He wasn't terrible either, just not as good as we have seen. He'll be better.

You mean common sense? Probably a little out of reach in the current enviromnent, unfortunately !!!

Another pathetic post.....you're on a role.

That's unbelievably pathetic........

Join me to the congratulations bandwagon..... Well said MelbournePassion. I hope that if/when this happens we still turn out to support the club. At the end of the day that is one of the most important things we as supporters can do right now. I would if I could <_< !!!

Not exactly a great surprise here.........

Thanks for the link Flying Cloud.......

I have done that as well Jarka....... As for this particular initiative, I always love photo galleries so it is a great addition !!!

Lynden Dunn ready to play anywhere, everywhere for Melbourne Demons

Dunno, he's named (for what that's worth) at centre half back !!!

That seems to be a pretty popular opinion......

It's a funny place to be in really....... I mean during the week its very much about what we need to re-establish ourselves and improve our future, which would arguably mean finishing at the bottom of the ladder, and winning a maximum of four games (although it's probably a little presumptuous to assume even that), but come game time its yelling and screaming and barracking, wanting just to see the boys pull out a victory. And then after the match is done and the loss (most likely) is recorded its back to our current reality, our potential future and it's four games only, remember four games only. And then we do it all over again, and again, and again.......and again !!!

Our midfield as it look for tomorrow is certainly not quick and a little one dimensional with Valenti coupled with Jones, McLean and Moloney.......

Yeah me neither, and am now feeling a little left out !!!

I completely agree....... And I think we all appreciate seeing Cameron in here and explaining what can be confusing to us. I hope that we will see our CEO plenty more in the times to come.

From the History on the club website...... Chronology: A year by year summary of our history 1835 Settlement of the Port Phillip District in the Colony of New South Wales. 1838 Formation of the Melbourne Cricket Club. 1851 Victoria is declared a separate colony. 1852 The MCG is established in Yarra Park (then Richmond Paddock). 1858 MCC Secretary Tom Wills begins the first formal Australian Rules competition. Melbourne Football Club grows out of this. 1859 Rules of the Melbourne Football Club are formalised. HCA Harrison and Wills are among major contributors. 1860s South Yarra, the first Richmond Football Club, Carlton, South Melbourne and Royal Park Football Clubs are formed. Melbourne is then known as the ‘Invincible Whites’. Teams are limited to 20 per side. HCA Harrison retires as player, to concentrate on administration and development of game.........

I realise that this is the hope and it is a very exciting hope, but you are jumping the gun on both of these.

Bang on the money Bub...... The success of sport up here is questionable at the best of times, people don't go to games which will make a huge problem for the AFL. And of all the codes the AFL is still the least popular, both at junior and professional levels. It took a Premiership on the back of multiple finals appearances to get Sydney to pay attention to the Swans and they have been here for thirty years. Now I have been anti a Western Sydney team for a long time. It is an already crushed market. People argue that we are big enough and have enough people to be able to handle a second team, but when the majority of the population don't give two shits about the code, largely because there is no grass roots structure and supporter base growth, then size really isn't going to matter one little bit. There has been minimal AFL expansion into primary schools and very few junior programs (Auskick or otherwise) at all in this city, and still the kids from out west don't grow up wanting to pick up a Sherrin. There is no reason why at some point in the future it can't work but more, a hell of a lot more, ground work needs to be done. Right now, it just feels monumentally rushed.

It astounds me that this fallacy still sticks..... Geez I thought opposition supporters were ignorant of Brads talents. And how does beating up on Green help defend Dunn?

Yep, and thanks !!!
