You weren't alone in that opinion Gouga...... I made a very similar bet with my brother, who is a Bomber supporter and definite black sheep of the family !!! There is quite a lot of beer on the line, with a monetary bonus for the winner when the two teams play each other.

If you guys are coming to town, then you should come to dinner :D !!!

Bless you YM :D !!!

I tend to agree with you Slander..... If he said what it has been alleged that he said (& I hope that made sense), then it was a bloody awful thing to say and should never be condoned. But how many truly god awful things get said on a footy field during a match? And in the future are all these god awful things going to get sent to the tribunal for evaluation, especially when a player retaliates and gets himself into (big) trouble. Headland was an easy target, and has proved exactly why. If the AFL think, and can prove, what was allegedly said then fine him, officially warn him and move on.

I sure as hell hope you are (and want you to be) right occo........

Doesn't that say more about our team attitude than anything else? Form and injuries will come and go (unfortunately), but a poor attitude is, to me anyway, a far greater crime.

Yep I am sure he is just being cruel !!! You say that with such confidence Jaded...... And amen to that !!!

6. Jones 5. Green 4. Moloney 3. Bell 2. Bruce 1. Miller .......also Johnstone and Johnson did not completely embarrass themselves!!!

Please, please don't make him go back there and do that, not again !!!

Bloody well hope so..... And I think the claws are probably already out Rhino !!!

This may seem like a silly question...... But what the hell do they do at training if they are not, at least some of the time, working on their skills? Because, as you say, there seems to be no evidence of this practice coming through on the field.

Beat me to it..... Maybe some originality in the thought process for this team or at least tailoring the plan to what we can do. Just a thought !!!

Thanks for that assessment hazzaman, its nice to read about something less that abysmal !!!

That last question I can't answer...... But my dad noticed the total lack of sheparding in last weeks debacle. There seems to be a distinct lack of "teamwork".

Well, of course, good then !!! And thanks for the summeries, Jaded and Condemned, despite the result your info is appreciated !!!

This might seem like a silly question (the game isn't being broadcast up here) but is the ball actually getting to our forwards at all?

Well said Jaded, sums it up perfectly......unfortunately !!!

Training Times Friday 13 April - MCG - Closed http://melbournefc.com.au/Season2007/Train...53/Default.aspx

And this, unfortunately, would be the most frustrating part of the whole equation <_< .......

Supporting them should never be in question, and never is really...... But I do fear for their safety this week !!!

Green would be my "best of the bunch" option as well, but I think it will probably go to Bruce.

Thanks WJ, great report!!! And I am so thrilled that you can find our wonderful Sydney transport system so inspirational..... It may actually mean it is good for something !!!

Yep, last year...... Round 1 loss to St Kilda this year !!!

Hell me too LT, me too :D !!! And just a quick query after reading through everyone's well thought out suggestions....... Most think there should be four or more changes this week, and while we all vary on who should come in and play where, does anyone actually believe that Neale will truly make that many? He has not been known to do so in the past, nor has he been one to be particularly risk-taking when it comes to playing the youngsters, so the question stands, what are the real odds of getting any more than the bare minimum two changes that was forced through injury?

I have been a fan of Green for a long while and loved what he did last year, but I am with Jaded on this one...... He would be better suited in going back to the forward line with rotations in the middle, and hopefully this will suit the team as well <_< !!! And this is spot on!!!
