Hope he goes to Brown, would be a good lesson first up.

Despite what people think about Sam, the Footy Show needs him. People forget that what Sam's been doing this year has been happening for the show's entirety. It seems to be that non-watchers who heard about the mannequin skit have attacked him. Billy was good, but Sam's better. Besides which, his return should bring back Street Talk.

Green - captain McLean - vice captain Miller Rivers Then one of McDonald/Bruce/Jones/Grimes (i.e. go with experience or youth)

I know, it's about time they came here. Even more reason to come to the G. Either you see Melbourne pull off a stunning upset win, or you see Jonathon Brown go ballistic.

Still at the mercy of Demetriou though.

There's only one MFC player who instils greater fear in me when kicking for goal and that's Jamar.

If it's on the right side for a right-footer, Robbo. The other side, Green.

I think there is much more upside associated with Johnson that with Jamar. At his best, Jamar provides shephards, blocks etc. but stil isn't a dominant tap ruckman. At PJ's best, which probably hasn't been seen yet, he can play forward, but again, isn't a dominant ruckman. So we do need to look to Meeson/Spencer or Naitanui/Warnock to get someone to help in the hitouts department.

At Geelong vs Brisbane match, he said one of the stands at Skilled Stadium was 'the worst stand ever designed for spectators' (well who else would it be designed for?)

He looks good now, but he looked way out of his depth against us (might have been his 1st game). Nonetheless, should be a fine player.

Yeh whoops screwed that one up. Anyway, just because Thompson isn't of the highest quality doesn't mean he's not a goal-kicking key forward. I'd still be happy with a forward of his ability at that stage of the draft. True, I was just naming some other forwards that were drafted later on. But yes, the ones you mentioned are star forwards around which a side an be based.

Yeah I thought that, but still a good one I reckon.

Pretty exclusive list you've got there Bob. How about these: Burton - 16 Bradshaw - 55 Cloke (Travis) - 39 Thompson - 82 So there are also ways to pick up long-term key forwards outside the top 12.

He's the AFL's equivalent of George W. Bush. On yesterday's coverage he said: 'That's one thing about Andrew Welsh. You just can't question his courageousness' Last week he said: 'He's just a former shadow of himself' (as opposed to a shadow of his former self) I remember seeing someone's signature here which has Schwarz saying 'On what?' in regards to writing his autobiography. Any more to add to the collection?

3 weeks ago I thought Matthew Lloyd was finished. His past 2 games, however, have got me thinking otherwise. Right now I think Jeff White is finished. So hopefully someone says something about him in the media and he finds some form. In regards to Jamar, I was listening to SEN and Luke Darcy mentioned this one instance where Jamar was in the goalsquare against the shorter Leo Barry when we were entering the 50: instead of playing to his advantage (height and strength) and staying in the goalsquare for the kick, he tried to make a lead, playing into Barry's advantage (speed). It goes to show Jamar does not have the brains or nous to play AFL footy. He's not the future.

I still think Wheatley should receive the first kick from, say, CJ, and then kick long over the top of the opposition's zone onto the wing.

I'm glad CJ got given a difficult task, even more glad that he succeeded (somewhat). Now let's pray for consistency.

Very good point. Warnock in Sandilands' shadow may well be far different to Warnock the no. 1 ruckman. His age is a huge factor.

I get the feeling Cox will be rested for the remainder of the year. They'll fix his foot up. Not only does this destroy my Dream Team but it reduces significantly their chances of more wins.

I miss the days where he was feared by the opposition's defence.

No Kosi. No Sherman. Carroll to Freo for Warnock sounds alright, but I'm not convinced Warnock is anything special given what I saw on Friday night. Getting rid of Petterd would be folly IMO.

How did Davey go? Didn't hear much of him on the radio. Sounded like Bate, PJ and Dunn were our best.

I would think that his reprimand should mean he goes for a week. That was comparable to the one on Selwood, so he should be cited. Thought Dunn was gonna get smashed today but Goodes only had 12 disposals.

That was bad but Dunn's miss when the margin was about 16 points was worse I thought. It came just before the 50m; that was a real chance.

Last year at least you had the choice of every player from every team. That way I could put Dale Thomas. I hate him.
