For this mad Melbourne supporter (me) seeing that mad Melbourne supporter (Harmes) living out his boyhood dream makes me very envious. From rookie to best 22: great story, and probably better to come!

Of course the club could save some money and just point the players towards You Tube where they will find many, many instructional videos devoted to the art and science of kicking an Australian Rules football.

Probably his final year! 14 games to go! Will he make it?

How tall is Clarry? When seen standing next to Nick Riewoldt he doesn’t look that much shorter, and he certainly looks taller than “ the chief”! He’ll be a very very powerful lad when he grows up!

I believe this idea was discussed back when Joseph Gutnick was president. Why it didn’t go ahead, I’ve no idea.

That really was a shocker: how so many go to seed, (Bob Murphy excepted). I understand the late E.J. Whitten has made an appearance at AFL House threatening to haunt Gillon McLachlan for ever unless he promises never to put it on again!

?I think the Langdon family were in the wine business. Good fit for the MFC!

Thank God it’s not up to you!

We should have applied early on for assistance from the NDIS!

Who else but Max? No one! 6: Gawn, and congratulations on an excellent season-well played! 5: Frost, a bit of a toss up but sh*t you’ve improved this year. I expect even better in 2020! 4: Viney, I still love you even if others don’t! (and, anyone who owns a Bernese Mountain Dog must be OK)! 3: Fritsch, really becoming fun to watch! 2: Petracca, goodonya tubby! 1: Oliver!

Steve Smith has just stepped down from his time as MCC president. Give him time to learn a little more about todays AFL as opposed to the way the game was played in his day (30/40 years ago)?!

I believe a number of supporters would like Adem Yze back at the club in an assistant coaching roll. Is he the best person for the job? You ask! Well, his time at Hawthorn during a pretty successful decade or so would indicate he has some ability. Maybe what he brought to Hawthorn by way of coaching could be transferred to Melbourne. This is no mere nostalgia trip but a desire to get the best possible personnel at the club and Yze may well fit the bill. However It’s not up to us is it! The football department may not want him, and he may not want us!

One of my boyhood heroes. A very sad day, RIP Bluey.

You need something like an NA (not assessable) category for players like Dunkley and a couple of others ( maybe Lockhart) until they’ve played more than a few games. C+ Delistable is far too harsh!

Adem Yze’s the bloke who interests me. He’s now had many years of experience working at Hawthorn in what is a very winning culture and works directly with Clarkson on match days. I think he was backline coach for a time during their premiership period.

I didn’t have Frost in my six best however for me he was probably next in line. As you say the good outweighed the bad, and that’s getting better every week. Was it Goodwin or another of the coaches that said something along the lines of “we don’t always know what he’s going to do with the ball, but then again, neither does the opposition” ??. Love his attack, love his run but hold my breath when he gets rid of it!

Yuck yuck chuckle, chuckle: very good. Given Goody’s past indiscretion, I don’t think so!

6: Gawn 5: Viney 4: Lockhart 3: Frost 2: Oliver 1: May and TMac, Salem, Petracca , Hore, Harmes etc, etc.

Thanks for that, Deespicable, a good read during breakfast. However, as a 177cm midget myself, I’m all for the success of the short guys like the 177cm midget Jay Lockhart. Ah, I miss the good old days of the 6 foot ruckman.

Very impressed with Dunkley as well. And good to see KK doing well: I was concerned for him, but he was very good today, may have a future.
