Bring-Back-Powell

We could do a deal with GWS and Gold Coast . They promise not to bid on Jack Viney in exchange for Dunn and Joel MacDonald.

I reckon we could give Essendon a real crack in Rd 10. It's at the G and we've beaten then the lady 2 times and hopefully we'll have Jurrah, Clark and Frawley in the side...plus increased confidence in ability and confidence.

If Ricky Petterd doesn't get a game this week, something is wrong. How he cannot get a game over seriously average players like MacDonald, McDonald, Sellar and Dunn is a joke. I understand he played a poor game v West Coast, but how many others have put in continued poor games and not gotten dropped. In- Petterd, Sylvia, Grimes, Martin (if fit) Out- MacDonald, Dunn, Sellar, McDonald See how we go Playing 1 less tall. Kozi out for them is handy. I'd play Sylvia permanent as a stay at home fwd this week rather than ease him back in the vfl. We need class forwards up there! Certainly our best 22 so far.

Give me an unfit and undiciplined Jurrah or Sylvia over a Joel MacDonald, Tom McDonald, Lynden Dunn or who ever else that isn't AFL standard.

THey've left out a livewire and a potential match winner (Petterd) for Mr Fumbles (J Mac) that can't be trusted with the ball in hand. I liked Joel mac in 2010 but he's gone backwards dramatically ever since.

How the hell does Bail keep getting a game? Has literally not done a thing this year in 360 minutes of footy.

With all due respect, cannot see this game exceeding 35k. Both clubs playing poor and the family unfriendly time slot are a lethal cocktail.

There was an article on the MFC website stating that Moloney is a chance this week. Sylvia 2 weeks away. Jurrah did his wrist on the last weekend of August 2011. I can't believe he still hasn't recovered from that. What a stuff up that's been.

I'd imagine Neeld didn't say what he really wanted to say. To commend our last qtr was a joke. Have we really sunk so low that the coach is praising a 5 goal apiece quarter against a rubbish side.

Can someone please clarify what selections we'll get if we finish 16th? Picks 3, 4 and about 11? Which pick for Viney? As for the game, Howe, Jones, Watts and Clark looks like competent footballers. The rest don't, and that includes our captains.

They do have the web jet sponsor but Ofcourse nothing on back.

Exactly. We may not have that many players missing from our best 22, but the ones that are missing are our match winners (Moloney, Sylvia and Jurrah)

We couldn't beat GWS in our current state..

Any chance our captain can learn how to tackle legally?

Good to see everyone's favorite whipping boys in Dunn and Bennell are back. Surely Morton should be getting a game by now?

If he displays the hunger and attitude of Magner, he'll be a great in.

Can someone please explain what happened between round 17 2010 and 186? That was the day we were leading Sydney by 96 points and playing a premiership standard of football. What the he'll happened as I honestly thought we were on the right track with Bailey!

I actually thought Brisbane couldn't have played any better after quarter time. Everything they did turned to gold yesterday. I would say that will be their best win for the year.

We're no certs to beat them either. There is no way possible that we could win a game of footy with yesterday's 22. The last time we had to respond to a crisis was after 186 and we lost to Carlton by 70 pts after an even 1st qtr. I expect a similar outcome Saturday.

Looks like everyone's favourite, Dunn will be playing next week. Morton must play. He's too good for VFL and he was touted as the second best junior in Aust. at age 17 or 18. Sick of our high draft picks being wasted.

Richmond by so far it's not funny.

16th is generous.

The good news is that we're looking at some tasty top 5 draft picks in nov. The bad news - we'll probably waste them like usual. Sick in the guts, just sad.

15th Our d grade midfield will preclude us from winning games of Footy. 5-7 wins I've been terribly unimpressed with our pre season form. Can people who think we're a chance to finish 10th or higher please explain why?

The Age reckons Jones punched Boak in the guts which forced him off the ground v port. Wonder if our best player (at the moment) will also be missing Rd 1
