Demons 32

Jeff White captain? Dear god we won't win a game. He will be lucky to have not been traded by year end.

The fact that we can't lay an east tackle worries me, anyone see wheatleys effort on jolly in the goal square, was shocking.

I am in 100% agreeance on this. Rivers seems to be the forgotten son. I really do believe he is the most important player at MFC. He won the rising star as a defender, beating Davey, he is outstanding and to get his injuries behind him he is the man to anchor this teams defense for years to come.

Cameron Bruce, Chris Johnson & 3rd Round Draft Pick – Fremantle Robert Warnock, Jeff Farmer & 2nd Round Pick – Melbourne (INSANE - Bruce would leave, win a brownlow and we would look stupid. Farmer is older now and a livewire. Warnock, might be a good ruckman, key word might. Johnstone & 5th Round Draft Pick – Essendon 2nd Round Draft Pick – Melbourne (Got to be joking right?) Miller – Brisbane 4th Round Pick – Melbourne (he is worth keeping around for one more year, new coach may re-ignite him) White – Collingwood Ryan Cook & 3rd Draft Pick – Melbourne (Im for trading White, but if you trade him to a contender then we could get more, this deal is not good for Melbourne.)

With the recent Neitz bashing going on. I would like to know who people think should be the next captain? I believe it will be McLean but is he the best choice? Who do YOU want to captain? Thoughts?

I agree, But if he shouldn't be captain now, who do you think should get it?

I never thought I would hear the most loyal man and loved man in the Melbourne footy club be so put down by the people he has worked and worke for years to please. I just cannot believe it. He's unfit, they want the 300th against Collingwood, its our home game, maybe people will show up and for once we will see some profit. He is Melbournes heart and soul, has been for years, to see people turn on him just shocks me to the core.

I do not know if Sheedy is the best coaching possibility. But he did say something when Hutchie quickly interviewed him outside Steve Harris' house that got me excited about the prospect of sheeds at the dees. When asked what he can bring to the MFC. He said "a bit of spirit....... bit of togetherness". Couldn't some up what we need any better.

Happens because the board has stuffed up COUNTLESS times. Don't try and be high and mighty like you know everything. I merely stated a point of view that I think our clubs admin and board have made alot of mistakes. You can have your opinion but don't talk about your pet peeves. You know as much as everyone else and im sure you have opinions people don't like so get over your pet peeve.

Why would I watch tapes of past games, when I watch it there everyweek. He cannot be pointed at when you have robbo who could take 10-15 marks per game if he just used his hands.

Think its a bad idea?

I don't understand why anyone would question Buckley. They love him. They think he is going to be great. Riley thinks he is amazing. The reason he only got named after Neale left. Riley really rates Bucks and has spoke in the media about how important Buckley and Newton are to the end of 2007, developing two terrific kids for next year. He will not miss another game.

Yeah ive been thinking maybe a sheedy for few years handover to Viney But I just don't see the Melbourne board having the brain to think about it.

Has Todd Viney been short listed. Does anybody think Viney will get far in the Melbourne Demons process?

Ferguson, Brown, Ward will get the chop They will play Bode. NO point elevating him otherwise. They will definately not cut any shining youngsters like Newton, Buckley or Frawley. Wish Dunn would get a game somehow, playing him up forward. I like him as a 3rd tall up forward. Maybe take Robbo off for the year to get him right, Dunn move into a similar role.

Bond, when his time comes, will be an AMAZING coach. Unfortunately. He is the wrong choice for Melbourne. Our coach will be as important in marketing the club and off-field presentation over on field play. Getting the faithful back is the most important thing for the Melbounre board. Bond should, for himself go and coach Carlton, there fans aren't gonna really go anywhere. Bond is an outstanding prospect. Perhaps the best non coach in Australia. But I don't think Melbourne will hire him.

I didn't make this team and don't completely agree with it but it is well known Sylvia is a true on baller. He is going to be a SUPERSTAR. He is slowly but surely getting over his injuries. Melbourne are looking to put him on ice for the rest of the season. He is going to be a total force, one of the most aggresive, talented players in the comp. I love Jones. Our hardest toughest midfield will consist of Moloney, Jones and Sylvia. Sylvia will indeed become a prominant fixture in the demon midfield next year, I guarantee it.

Im like 80% certain. I was only in Tassie for 2 years. Looks like this guy and name rings a BIG bell. So ive kinda assumed. If im wrong im sorry.

Didn't play against him, he is older than me. The club was Carrick in Tassie. They played against which ever team he was in a few inter-league practice matches.

no good

Yes I think long term means Viney and Williams are the BEST BEST choices.

Garland is no good.

The below categories and who I think would fill them the best. Marketing: Sheedy. Long term: Viney. Change of game style: Chris Bond. Short term: Sheedy. Fan appreciation: Sheedy. Toughness: Liba, Ratten. Media: Sheedy. Best for youth: Williams. Assistant pedigree: McKenna. Game-day coach: Williams, Sheedy.
