  1. ive forgotton the melbourne theme song .. its so rare that i hear it
  2. youd need to corrolate though the connection between toughness and injuries. Its all nice and easy to say to go hard for the ball and give it everything you got, put your body and soul on the line and you will win games. Yes you may win a game or to with a ruthless unforgiving team, but going in with the tough mentality bring injuries to prone players like mclean and moloney, whos absence causes more losses than going in hard for the ball a couple of times. Melbourne dont have that balance. Some players are conservative, avoiding injury (white and neitz) whilst the others mentioned above go hard at it.

  4. what is it? when you get memberships you win or when you win you get membership personally i reakin its the second one .. Nathan Jones doesnt stand there in the game and count the number of melbourne to opposition supporters .. although im sure nicholson used to....
  5. i must disagree with you dan .. "We were a string tackling side last year, and even better in 2006" We weren't .. Byron was .. he was the heart and soul of an aggressive melbourne side .. but then he went on the [censored] ..
  6. Completely agree with DemonDave "But it still boils down to the fact that he’s not ready for it. He still has not yet played enough consistent football over a sustained period of time for his selection to be justified." Neitz will fulfill his captaincy this year. If McLeans knee doesn't hold up in 08 , i dont want an injured captain leading the club in 09. He needs to focus on his game and win the fans and crowd over again before he contemplates captaincy. You shouldn't ask for it, you should earn it.
  7. Answer on your honour and dignity as a Melbourne supporter - what would you do in the following circumstance? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. You will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest. You're in Victoria, just outside of Seymour, to be exact... There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. You are a Herald Sun photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. Nature is showing all its destroying power and is ripping everything away. Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly you know who it is - it's Eddie Maguire!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of Eddie, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the Australia's most powerful men. Now here's the question (please give an honest answer): Would you select colour film, or would you rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?
  8. eveyone on this forum seems extrememly optimistic regarding the form of our team .. even if we do manage to deafeat gellong at skilled it is by no means a reflection of the season ahead, look at cartlon the last 2 years .. white (31) and neitz (33) are getting old and realistically unreliable to carry out a full successful premiership season .. it is a new era of the club .. no TJ, byron, daniher, jbrown (and bizzel) .. dont get me wrong i love the club , but memberships (17,800) have dropped significantly than this time last year (23,000) which reflects the growing impatience of our supporters .. last year melbounre went into the season a premiership favourite , geting thumped by st kilda losing 6 players and any season glory with it .. i hope to god the injuries hold out this year .. last year we were the second-most injury riddled team (behind adelaide who mind you pulled a remarkable effort) and by the end of a season struggled to fill a descent AFL team , including a near death experience of pettard .. Some players who missed games due to injury .. Neitzs Moloney bruce robbo bruce (current hammy) moloney mclean dunn whelan sylvia pettard Davey and Jones had an exceptional debut year in 06 , but lost form in 07 , not once in 06 did i see jones pull a nicholson (needless turnover) although having as much heart as godfrey. what will zomer , cheney , weetra , morton , messen , mcnamara, martin , maric and grimes bring to the club? fuked if i know
  9. I am new to this website , a young demon supporter and as a result i have never seen a flag But then again you dont have to be young to have never seen a flag Asking, where will Melbourne finish in 2008? my guess is the bottom of the 8 Here is my good/bad analysis New coach bailey - Good .. young blood Neitz still at the club - Bad .. worst captain in the AFL TJ gone - Good .. injury riddled & inconsistent no byron - Good .. great in 2006 but lost his game in 07 mclean needs to have a good year White still as ruckman - Bad .. getting old and worn .. under the pump in 07 The Fixture - bad .. we play WCE , gellong , port and kangas twice
