They're not guys, they're chaps!

That hit to the throat was a very cowardly and dangerous act. It could well have ruptured Green's windpipe causing suffocation. If any player did it to another player it would be an act of outright aggression and if done in the street would lead to serious assault charges. Dean Wallis was in my opinion a coward, and remember Brad was being held during that encounter by another Essendon hero. Would I want a couple of seasoned Melbourne players to perform the same act on an 18/19 year old first year player from another club? No!!!

I attended a wedding reception a few years ago where Wallis was a guest. My wife had to stop me making a scene (especially after I'd had a couple of drinks). I can never forget the 2000 grand final: what a f#*^ing thug. Good riddance. But of course his accomplice is still at large and coaching the Tigers!!!!!

One of the very few good things about the '13 season was seeing Matt Jones in the red and blue. And it shows there's good talent to be had outside the 1st or 2nd round of draft picks (and from the VFL)! Well done to our recruiting team: Jones, Terlich and maybe Clisby.

Rohan Bail is a decent young man. If I was his GP I'd tell him to quit now. Another blow to the head and we have the Danial Bell problem all over again.

Gee Col's gone. I must be getting old because it seems just like yesterday that I sat at the "G" and saw his first game against Norf. Col got one posession that day, a handball. And that was 10 years ago? Does that mean he qualifies for life membership of the MFC as well?

Apparently he wants to finish a university degree. After the saga of Essadon '13 he probably realises that there is a real life and a real world outside football.

Don't despair: there's always "Bigfooty" !

I just logged in no problems (and quickly logged out again). Site seems to be running slowly though!!!

I thought we got close to 38/39k a few years ago when we were aiming for 40k during Jimmy's time! We need to aim for at least 40k again and as I've said previously, if the stars align we should be able to hit around 45k. We (the club) need the money and the supporter base!

Roos + High Profile Recruit (or two) + a couple of early wins = excitement = 45k members.

Very good, chuckle chuckle!

Saw Gary Ayres at the game on Sunday! I'm sure he wasn't there just for the fun of it!

There's a bit of history between Brown and Strauss. Both educated at that bastion of Calvinist Christian conservatism: Scotch College, and when they first met on the field in (I think) round one 2010 apparently Brown told Strauss that if ever he (Brown) saw Strauss on the field again he'd fix him up!!! I think Mr Brown needs some of his own medicine.

AFL players just keep growing and growing (as does the general populace)!!Have a look at the height comparison between players of today and yesteryear down at the gallery of sport at the G. 80 years ago the average height was 173 cm, today it's 187!

You said it!

No way would I be dropping Chris Dawes, the bloke is doing a damn sight more than most of the team. He's one of the few real leaders at the club!

Etihad is to sporting stadiums what Andre Rieu is to classical music and what Kenny G is to jazz - a bad joke. Did anyone else see the bloke walking around at half time replacing all the divots torn up during the first half? What a joke! And I pity all who play there (except Essadun and Carton).

Was Sitch a member of the MFC board before Jim's group took over?If so he's definitely a Dee's man!

What: like Steve Smith!

We are not simply a tenant of the MCG, we are a sporting section of the MCC so we are in a very different position to other users of the ground! It is important to ensure any committee member is sympathetic the the Football Section so vote accordingly!

6: Terlich 5: Frawley 4: Fitzpatrick 3: McDonald 2: Watts 1: Garland Thank heavens for our backline!!!
