This is good. Reminds me of 03 with 3 and 5 for Syliva and McLean

Was sent an email today from the club about the 'Advisory Panel' - in it they said that the club had a new logo for next year: I for one am not overwhelmed by it. I prefer the current logo. Thoughts?

Good on you

Wow You made so many great points. You pretty much some up my feelings too. I just hope the football community turns on him to make him feel like he made the wrong decision

Spot on

I agree. With no sour grapes at all, I firmly believe that he will lose massive amounts of respect in the football community. He has clearly attacked our facilities and funds, and shown that he is driven by nothing other than money. What is worse is that he chose to rule us out before ruling out Carlton. I can't see his logic at all - unless he wanted to be seen as a money-seeking [censored]. Why rule us out before Carlton? I can think of nothing better than for Melbourne to make a resurgance up the ladder next year, and for Judd to end up with his first ever wooden spoon.

Yep, Dylan Howard was the reporter. You make a good point.

Yeh, there was a reason we got rid of Jolly in the first place. Wonder why he wants out of Sydney, and what are they gonna do about another ruckman if we give them Miller.

This was a Dylan Howard story, was it not? How reliable is he?

I reckon Lade's gone. Getting old now, starting on the bench.

I don't want to see either go, but if it came down to it, Petterd should stay, only because he showed a lot more promise than Frawley this year. Just wondering if his fitness will be affected at all by his lung injury.

Geelong by no more than 2 goals Paul Chapman to get Norm Smith

I like it. Younger and better than Jamar. Thing is, what do we have to give Adelaide? Please not Davey.

We're better off having Judd for 6 than Frawley for 12, and from what Frawley showed this year, it could take another 2 years before he's premiership-quality. That means 8-10 years of Frawley compared with 6 years of Judd (I know which one I'd prefer), and who knows, we could do a Port Adelaide and find another Westhoff with our last pick who can settle into our defence.

Sounds good to me

Yep, here's the link: http://essendonfc.com.au/news/news.asp?nid=5395

Hopefully the media will push the fact that Collingwood is in a greater need of a proper ruckman than Judd, so they might shift their focus to that rather than Judd

It would seem as though Bruce and Green are the front-runners. I don't want McLean to be forced into captaincy - he needs to concentrate on his fitness and his footy first.

I think most people are overlooking the biggest factor here, and that is that West Coast will take whatever they can get their hands on. Judd will nominate the club he wants, and if West Coast doesn't comply, they will get nothing for the greatest player in the league. They can't afford this, so they will be forced into dealing with whoever Judd wants. This means that they will make deals with the likes of Collingwood and Essendon regardless of previous dealings. It all comes down to which club makes the best presentation to Judd over the next week. If Melbourne can offer him (not WC) something Collingwood cannot, we are in with a shot.

Good point, and I agree with Ebert being our pick.

Are you going? Yes Crowd? 19,928 Who will win? Melbourne by 18 Which camp are you in - Winning --> 3rd pick will still be a good one

Spot on - go Dees!

Captain : Neitz Vice captain: McLean Coach: Sheedy (don't want him though) Delisted players: Warnock, Ward, Neville Retired players: Bizzell, Brown First draft pick: # 4 (we're gonna beat Carlton), hopefully its KPP or someone fast Football manager: Riley? 07 Bluey: McDonald or Jones

I hope so - we need something new

Robbo - poor coaching. Needed to go deep forward when we were being slaughtered to give us another option so we weren't Neitz-centric. And then when he got injured he could hardly move, Thomas got a goal becuase he couldnt move to take a mark. He had to be put at FF or benched White & Newton - completely agree Bode - what part is that? had no influence at all really, but not his fault its only his second game
