Can almost guarantee it. He was sniffing around last year. We should move him on, although his currency is a bit like the Aussie dollar at the moment.

Totally disagree with this. And exactly what would you expect the leaders to do? Coach him in ball drop, how far his run up should be? No, the poor execution of that kick rests solely with Weideman. For Christ’s sake, he marked it 20 metres out and missed by a long way. I just wonder whether it is “ burning in his guts” like Max said it was in his after the game. I doubt it, because I just don’t think he wants to be a Melbourne player. Of all the players this year, I would say this guy has been the biggest disappointment.

OMG, are you my twin?

We should get their fitness guy, Lynch only misses a week with a hamstring???

Yes, agree with everything you have said. But the question was raised, should he get another year. Geelong, who I would consider a “professional” club did the same with Bartel to get him to the 300 mark.

Chunk definitely gets another year. Anyone going to begrudge him a chance to get to 300 games?

A good pertinent post. No knee jerk reaction, just simple well thought logic

Because the conditions will be wet. And he is a dud.

Ok, so I reckon that puts you in the late 50’s/early 60’s age demographic? I get your frustration and bitterness, that’s me too!

Well when he has it, it means 43 other blokes ain’t! Can I ask you a question, did you ever play football?

Ok, so what have we done here. A couple of running machines, and a couple to give some flexibility. Preuss is one dimensional. Have a look at Viney’s words during the week, I sense that these lads have a point to prove here. West Coast aren’t travelling all that well, and they bring in a guy who they say will only play 60% game time. Smacks of arrogance. This game will will go down to the wire, and at $3.70, if you have a lazy $200.............

Actually 39 and 6 rookies Jim. Of that 39, 14 currently on the injured list, of which arguably 11 are best 22

Funny, I don’t see you post much when we’re winning, but quite a bit when we aren’t. Do you want us to fail?

And that, in a nutshell, is why he will help win us a flag. So all you Petracca doubters, [censored] off

Oh come on. Watch that final play where Petracca won the ball. And ANB with 8 tackles, this is what we have been lacking the past few weeks.

Collingwood premiers, in a canter

Yeah but if he was playing for us right now John, he would be a spud. Just ask any Geelong supporter. Downhill skier of the highest order.

And rain it will.......goals to Hawthorn

Oh dear. Just when you thought things could not get any worse. Fifth loss for the year on our home turf. How’s the “cauldron” looking Goody?

Exactly. With Viney out, our team is now weaker. Let’s just hope some attitude and will to win kicks in. How about adopting a “beat your direct opponent and get the footy” mentality.

I hope not. Seriously, 10 disposals at VFL level and people are suggesting he should be promoted!! Would rather persist with Weid as his form will eventually turn. Keilty is just not at AFL standard, that is why he is still a rookie.

It was an infringement the umpires had been paying all year, irrespective of the circumstances, and they chose to ignore this one. My point is that the Dogs were favoured all that year by biased umpiring. They even turned the throwing of the ball into an art form which aided their game plan. Again, the umpiring let them get away with this. The free kick differential for 2016 was staggering beyond belief.

And the most glaring one was the failure of the ump to award a 50 metre penalty for running into the protected zone when Tom Scully had a the ball on the wing in the dying moments of the prelim against GWS. If the correct decision was made it would have put Scully about 40 metres from goal to kick the winner.

Always that way Goffy. check out the free kick stats in 2016

Yes I am with regards to MFC. Not alone on this forum.
