I never thought of Warnock as a full back - are you thinking of more of a Harry O'Brien thing, because I always thought of Warnock as a running type. I agree with Rivers being a 'general'

With all the injuries we seem to forget what a Melbourne team would look like with everyone available. So I put it to you - with our current list, what would our best 22 look like? And how would we stack up against Geelong/West Coast? My team B: Whelan Carroll Bartram HB: Wheatley Rivers Bell C: Johnstone Moloney McDonald HF: Davey Bate Bruce FF: Robertson Neitz Sylvia Foll.: White Jones McLean Int: P. Johnson Newton Green Petterd Emergencies: Pickett Yze Dunn While better than what we fielded yesterday, I don't think we are close to a full Geelong or West Coast. White as No. 1 ruckman is beginning to become a worry as teams rely more on tap work to get clearances (something we suck at this year).

-Is everybody over this season? Yes, but I'm looking forward to seeing Newton, Buckley, Petterd, Frawley etc. develop this year for a crack next year -Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday? Of course, they're the Blues (still fuming from last year) -Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible? No- even though some good young players would be nice I want us to finish above Carlton on the ladder, which means more than 4 wins -Will you be upset if we lose? Yes, see above -Are you going? Yes -Crowd? 25,000 if bad weather, 30,000 if good

Just the first quarter, in which Brown kicked a few goals, set others up and had 7 possessions... for the rest of the game he only got about 6 more

Yeah, Holland has no correct match-up in the Ess team. I don't think he had one against Richmond either, he only stayed because it would have been considered 'unfair' to drop him after the towelling he gave Rocca. Carroll is the obvious one for Lloyd, but I think Bizz could take either him or Lucas, freeing up Bell, which I think is better for both him (destroyed by Brown last week) and the team (he can run off half-back). Sorry to see Frawley go, but he hasn't set the world on fire. Glad to see Newton.

I completely agree. Connolly has done close to nothing for Fremantle, and I would not like his coaching style here. However, I'm not sure Voss would be ready for an AFL head coaching position, considering his proximity in age to players such as Neitz. They may see him as a 'peer' rather than a 'coach'.

I agree, that's what I meant.

Hey - if you've never heard of me it coz i'm new. I say trade one of Jamar, Ferguson (though probably no one would want him) or Miller. Probs Jamar coz ruckman are a premium in some places (e.g. Carlton). Trade Warnock since we never play him. I wanna say delist Godfrey and Holland but at least they try. Must keep Davey because he has the potential to change games (just wish they played him as a crumbing forward). Don't think we should get rid of Dunn just yet - I see talent there. My burning question: If a club actually did want any of the aforementioned players, who should Melbourne be looking for?
