Bring-Back-Powell

Just play him in the seniors for the rest of the year and plunk him the goal sqaure. I know this goes against our youth policy, but how good a target was he against Hawthorn? Our forward line is impotent at the moment, and with due respect to Miller, he's not a J Brown who can do it all on his own. Bring Dutchy in, so our forward line can add some bite and give the opposition something to think about. It says it all when Freo had the luxury of sending McPharlin (their no 1 defender) up forward because we don't have a full forward.

Guys, how did Warnock play for Fremantle on the weekend? What were his strengths? Is he a good tap ruckman and did he beat Jamar/PJ? Good around the ground? Is he a player we should genuinely target, or are we simply obsessing over him because he's 205cm.

I'll take a talented 18 year old over a pointless win at Subi that nobody will remember at the end of the year. Still a disgraceful effort though.

Are Freo tanking by any chance <_< Good to see Sir Cale on fire with 2 gls. Maybe Freo are going to do the reverse from rd 7 when they were down by 50pts

For a guy thats missed about 6 games for the bottom side, his chances are probably not good

I'd trade him if another club is keen enough. Has not impressed me at all.

Did anyone see Morton's game against Adelaide in round 8 this year. Two classy goals from outside 50. As someone said before, maybe he should utilise his beautiful long kick a bit more. On a side note, maybe Grimes may end up better than both Morton and Palmer. Didn't he slip to #14 simply because he had an injury query?

Did it occur to anyone that our record at Subi is an absolute shambles? I'll be happy if we win, but I definaetly won't be upset if we lose by a few goals. As long as the kids are improving each game. Ultimate situation would be avoiding the spoon, but retaining the PP with a 4-18 record.

I think we'll win 1 more game, against West Coast. We'd also beat Freo if it were at home. I just don't think our young side will be capable of a win at Subi. Essendon is a minor possibility due to their roller coaster like season. North have our measure. Geelong is Geelong We stink at AAMI, so Port is out of the question Richmond could be fighting for a finals spot in rd 22, so they'll be tought to beat. H is right about winning no more than 4 games. Losing that extra draft pick would rub salt into a shocking season. 3-19 is my prediction. We really have had the draw from hell.

Is that a complement or an insult?

Today's top 10: 1) Brad Green 2) Brock Mclean 3) Cam Bruce 4) Aaron Davey 5) Jared Rivers (assuming he returns) 6) Matthew Bate 7) Russell Robertson 8) Paul Wheatley 9) Jeff White 10) Nathan Jones

What's everyone's thoughts on the result this week? I'll happily take a 4 goal loss at Telstra!

Labelling Chris Johnson in the class of TJ is an insult to TJ. Granted I've been overseas since round 11, but I can hardly see CJ matching TJ's silky kicking in the space of 3 games.

Defianetly agree with Prismall. Remember him carving us up last year, kicking 3 goals through the midfield. Pick 18 or 19 for him would be a good trade that geelong would jump at, and we'd get a great asset to our midfield. Prismall has been very unlucky not to get games for the Cats. I'd also put in Issac Weetra as a sweetner..

I don't care where we finish as long as we win no more than 4 games, so we gain a bonus pick 17, 18 or 19.

Wow did we win!!!! I'm here in Seattle and I can't believe it! Sounds like we deserved a win after a competitive month!! So proud!

Isn't that a good thing from a MFC perspective

Can someone explain his project plan for Jace Bode?

In 2006, he was actually a really accurate shot for goal. Undid all that work with a poster from 15 mtrs out against Carlton in rd 5 this year. I reckon Bate would come up with the goods.

Re - Jace Bode & Mark Jamar The farewell games have already started

Got a feeling he's going to have a big second half of the year - just like 2007. Who has memories of him playing a stellar game at the Dome against the Dogs in rd 19 when he played a blinder in the midfield kicking 2 gls. I think Sylvia and Dunn are the two MFC players to look out for, till seasons end.

I gurantee that Fremantle V Melbourne in round 16 will be a repeat of the Kreuzer cup in rd 22 last year. Except it won't be just one team tanking. We must get Sir Naita!

He will start to get my tick of approval once Melbourne can play back to back weeks of decent footy. So far he's failed dismally in this area. The dogs will be barking if we follow up the Collingwood peformance with a putrid performance against Richmond.

Get off his back. He was our live wire in the forward line today. Was back to some dangerous form. Whether you like it or not, he's here to stay, as we have nobody else available.

Probably Rivers
