Dee Dee

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!!!

6: Terlich 5: Frawley 4: Watts 3:McDonald 2: Jones N. 1: Dawes And Fitzy and Nicho and Roden were OK as well.

Max Gawn admitted in a post match interview on 774 that he was out on his feet in the last quarter and that Minson virtually had a free run in the ruck.

What's the strength (if any ) of other codes in Tasmania? Is there a concern for the AFL in that regard?

How long do we need to remind people that it"s TrenGOVE and not TrenGROVE!!!!! The man's our Captain for heavens sake. TrenGOVE, TrenGOVE say it again and again!!!

And to get this topic back on track:- Good luck Mitch, you're another reason to turn up on a cold Saturday evening in winter!

Thanks guys, I was never quite sure where the line of command went with Mahoney, Craig, Schwab et al. Seems to have been a bit of a balls up eh! But I suppose my real surprise is that with all the corporate heavyweights on the board no one saw fit to tighten up the lines of communication/job descriptions!

We seem to hear little about Mahoney in current discussions. Can someone tell me: what was his position at the club i.e. what did he actually do and how does his new job differ from his old one?

I cannot stand the man, IMHO a real piece of s*#t. I wonder how he would get on with the MCC committee and Steve Smith (future MCC president)!!!!!

Stan Alves didn't jump ship, he was pushed. And he luckily landed on his feet at North! I also remember Greg Wells saying that while at Carlton he kept a keen eye on the performance of Melbourne as he still cared for us. I reckon Greg's heart is very much red and blue! As for GH, he really did jump ship and I couldn't care less about him.

Greg's title is (I understand) president Asia Pacific for Quicksilver. They haven't been performing too well of late so his mind may be on matters other than his role at Melbourne. But I understand Billabong are not doing too well either!

Greg Healy might be an early casualty, given the current fortunes of "Quicksilver"! So we may need a new football director anyway! And if rumours are true (and they are often not), I don't mind the idea of Williams/ Junior at the coaching helm!

I believe one of his grandparents was Sir John Moore Chief Justice some years ago of the Arbitration Commission. As he's studying law maybe he wants to follow in granddad's footsteps.

Both you and Mr Rino make the same assertion to have us taken over by the AFL. Is that possible? Would our constitution allow such a move? Surely the members would need to vote on the matter at an extraordinary general meeting! Wow what a meeting that would be!!!!! All you lawyers - can the AFL just step in?

A friend of mine taught him at school and reckons he lacks for little in leadership talent. His older brother was a good footballer as well but took a different career path to Chris. ps: Chris was a "mad" Geelong supporter as a kid!

6:Terlich 5:Davey 4:Dawes 3:Magner 2:Jones M. 1:Jones N. In what is a really disappointing year it's good to see two good players in Terlich and Jones M emerge from the state based comps.

I do and with a passion! Red and blue, nothing else!
