I think it is strange that the implication of this piece is that if a player is in a situation such as Tom - no-one at the club can talk to him lest it be "on conversation about his future." I'm sure they would talked about the rumours, but can't the heart and soul of the club - with a backgound in counselling youth - talk to/support a 19 year old who has been the target of some innuendo and resulting vitriol? Mike is a Melbourne supporter deep down and losing his sh!t like a few on here.

I would say that is your impression. Any latitude from Harrison? Especially when you constantly doubt them.

Cam is being facetious. He is in management. Happens to have a Demon father.

I just hope I do the after match press conference before Dappa Dan... I'll never leave the stadium otherwise...

Ibso facto - Melbourne will win the flag... I would say that Collingwood became "clearly a better side" from QB last year when they became the best side in the game and won the flag.

"People happened to interested in Scully you know." Hardly, my baby. I just don't like the way this 19 year old is being portrayed and betrayed by supporters and some posters. I have never claimed (outside of the fact that Tom has recently moved into an apartment in East Malvern) to know anything more than anyone else. I only claim a little more faith than those that - in the face of the same non-knowledge - are convinced their club cannot compete in keeping their own players.

How is the scoring done? Similar to DT or SC?

He didn't say that. Our resident chicken little ADC has intimated once again that his knee soreness is a ruse and there is some sort of rift between Tom and the club. Jnr Mac is like the rest of us - happy to chat about Tom but sick of the same baseless Scully-to-GWS rubbish that keeps popping up on a Demon forum.

??? I'm a dummy spitter? Really? As with many of your posts lately - I find an issue with your logic. Where does the 66% measure come from? Where does the importance of that number originate? Why are we so confident of beating the Premiers? Because we 'match up well?' We'll see... And I have a high horse, not a dummy...

How can anyone argue with that science?

I guess the club is willing to take on $1.8m debt if it gets the $9m asset. Will be interesting. I guess the best way forward for all concerned would be to get a more modern venue nearby to appease members, still have room for the pokies, and sell the land through whichever method is most profitable (subdivision, seeling as a block, etc). If all goes according to plan - we get a large asset, don't lose a great amount on it, and get to be in control of profitable enterprise. It's at this point I say that I disagree with The Whitlams...

They're not our management.

Nah, we can keep it open. If anyone is worried, come on here and I will make them feel better about themselves and their clubs ability to keep our best players. It's a community service really.

This is nonsense. The syndrome once again. We keep our best players, and I expect him to stay and he will stay.

Top 4? Bailey to be sacked if we don't make the finals? Get real, people. We have lost over 600 games worth of experience and have become younger for the 4th consecutive year. You're getting ahead of yourselves. But, rpfc, you've got to have high expectations?!!! Yeah, hopefully grounded in reality.

Get a grip. He will sign for the MFC in good time. We are above petty ultimatums.

I very much doubt that.

We're probably in parallel arguments. I want to move the ball quickly. That's great. Hooray. I do not want to have a bloke on the boundary line at half back forced to kick down the line because we have a blanket rule against kicking backwards. It is nothing football, it is safe football, and the MFC is above that. I don't care if your name is Aaron or Clint - if you are in a Melbourne jumper, you trust your skills and not just pump the ball down the line.

Good work by the mods. One thing though, some posts have the post they are replying to changed leading to confusion (BBis a good example on this page). Just something to keep in the back of the mind.

No, but it has hit the point where grown men can abuse someone (not using it as a legal term) and think of their own public perception without thinking of the 16 girl they gangf..ked, they girl one got pregnant, the girl who lost her foetus, the girl who has been abandoned by her parents, the girl who was abused (using the legal term now) by a policeman who was supposed to be taking care of her, and preyed on by the manager of those players that gangf..ked her. Yeah, your society is way better...

I would say your 'deserving people' wouldn't have 'grave fears' surround them. This is a girl, who at the age of 15/16 lost her way and got zero help from those around her who thought of their own public-perception rather than helping someone through a myriad of personal disasters that no girl/woman should go through alone.

Both WB and Geelong wore clash strips in their game. We will stay in white I would wager. I don't care. As long as we are wearing R&B in all home games during the actual season.

Has someone hacked your account?! Fevola has been blacklisted by the football gods. He is not meant to win a flag. We will steer clear. These are not the droids you are looking for.

Speaking of which... Has someone hacked into your Land account these past few weeks?

He's a role player. Half a Premiership winning team is. This isn't the Premier League. Teams cannot cultivate talent in all positions due to the salary cap. He's young enough if he's good enough.
