valenti. get him on the rookie list at least. gun

this is great. because melbourne dont have their own rooms at the mcg, never have. because your deal with the MCC gets you 13 or 14 games there and not the AFL draw - which the mcc has next to no power over except that they have a minimum number of games requirement, which i think is 60 or 70 odd. funny about that. melbourne get to train on the mcg every week too. during the season. are you a collingwood member as well as MCC? i am an mcc member and a fully paid up melbourne member (got my gold card yesterday)- and this is different from being a mcc member and an associate melbourne member.

the point is that it doesnt matter if you win or lose interstate, its the fact that you actually have to go less - i have this arguement with a bloke from work once a week. he even agrees the draw isnt fair but says since they have more fans they should get more games. i say, go [censored] yourself, if it was fair we might have more fans. 30 games a season doesnt work either, but i think there needs to be some system in place that assures vic teams of playing equal number of games interstate over at least a couple of years. even if it was 15 games interstate per 3 years, that would be fair, not incl the sold ones. thats 5 a year - a fair number for any team. just a suggestion. then teams like collingwood wouldnt play less games interstate in 2 years than the kangaroos do in one. and then everyone wonders why the roos dont have any supporters- because the members get less value for money and less chance to see their team play, and im not talking about the hardcore that sign up every year either, im talkin about the the 5000odd who sign up if they think they will do well, or will get to 10 games or whatever. the afl needs to make the draw fair in relation to travel before anyone can go critizing teams for being poor or [censored] - make the draw fair then see what happens. i bet if the roos had the pies draw they would have 5000 more members and wouldnt be under pressure to move to the gold coast!!!

never was too fond of running though

AMEN BROTHER

see ya trav. frustrating to watch you were, but sometimes you blew our minds with your laser sighted boot. whats the bet that he dominates at brisbane

its not the fact that he isnt coming, its the fact that he paid out our club and its facilities. to quote bailey - a weight is a weight no matter what colour it is boys. that stings twice as much cos we havent got good facilities, and the boy has a point. but for ffs....clearly he will go to collingwood. well, i already hate that lot. just wait for the first matty whelan hip and shoulder on the bloke qb next year!

Untouchables: miller

i think mcguire is out of contract - he would be luverly

get mcguire from the saints in

hilarious

ok well dont trade trav then. i would actually like to see how he goes with new coach anyway. robbo will stay - he is just doing what everyone would do and trying to get job security by getting a longer contract. it will sort itself out - he will stay. as for praising the bulldogs - a little praise never hurt anyone. if he went around saying the bulldogs were crap, well, that would be [censored] stupid. mind you he should really keep his trap shut. ps judd did say he wanted to play finals - so that would rule out carlton and essendon anyway brucey brucey brucey. his kicking is not his only problem. he is a receiver who does not go in for the hard ball. so a running receiver who cant kick? that makes him fairly useless to my mind. west coast know this. i think running receivers are fairly bloody useless anyway - i say get someone who can get a hard ball - see jones - who can also do the running receiver thing - like jones can. yes bruce gets 25 touches a game - but thats cos no one mans up on him because they dont respect him because he doesnt go for the hard balls and cant kick.

we would be [censored] mental to trade col sylvia - he will be a gun and is very young too. he went higher in the draft than brock remember. someone like trav who is 29 - trade away we need to make our list younger not older. also need to keep robbo - he is a key part of our forward line id trade bruce for pick 86 - the eagles wont fall for him either. lloyd is an idiot, a boring, boring idiot. essendon are more of a rabble than we are - we have a coach carlton would be insane to trade picks 1 and 3 for judd - and if ratten does it well, good luck to him but why not get 2 quality youngsters instead of one brilliant player who is 24? they finally have some draft picks and they are going to trade them away? dum dum dum dum dum dum

understatement of the MILLENIA. this from a guy who started yelling about wheels goal when he was still on the half back flank ( not a bad call either) and once followed him around the mcc at a distance of 10m like a puppy in love

i had a dream last night i talked to chris judd and convinced him to sign a contract with melbourne at massively reduced pay. was a good dream. woke up with a hangover though, so i think that probably has something to do with it...

if its connolly this board wont be the only thing going into meltdown

fuckin preach it brother bring back holland the decoy forward..ohh the glory days of him hiding behind the point post. and beau mcdonald... DOWN IN FRONT! aaahahaha

and if that fails, the winner will be decided by 3 legged sack race on consecutive sundays until a victor is crowned

surely itd just have sylvia starting on the ball.... so just the name sylvia across the middle and an arrow towards goal?

we need a CHF. also a CHB....although people forget that rivers has been out all year. but another tall defender would be nice. i see rivers as being able to take the 2nd tall.

im not sure it needs to change completely. a little bit of tweaking should get him and the club a fair way. im definetly warming to him. loved his comment about carroll and concussion! one thing we need to go as a club is become more accountable....and it seems as if he will make that happen. its not as if we are sitting here going hes [censored] - only dont appoint him if we can find someone better. i havent coached at senior or assitant or state level yet myself....and im no afl player. pity, im not arf bad B) haha

its not the stats you get but what you do with them. bruce's disposal this year has been abysmal. his kicking action is too. look at the distance between release and contact, its huge! carrol has lots of marks cos weve been playing kick it sideways for half the year. carroll is a good FB, but he is never going to beat the likes of lloyd one out. he needs help, like all FB. even sos who everyone raves about needed help ffs. calm down. everyone is low on confidence. doesnt mean they cant actually play.

good, lanky moron! ps same old essendon, always cheating

id like to thank him for single handedly taking the media focus off melbourne

1. i think it has a good chance of happening - it means that they have better resources/players/club culture. 2. no less of him at all. weve come a long way since 1997
