WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL

It's a massive bridge from 3 turnovers to your "19 intercept marks" You were clearly implying that Hurn and McGovern's 19 intercepts is a huge number. "Just looked up to make sure, and Hurn and McGovern had a total of 25 marks in that game (including 19 intercepts). Geez." However two of our defenders had more - that's why it's relevant. Don't post bullsh1te and you won't be called on it.
-
Viney is credited with 3 turnovers, Salem had 7. You also neglected to say that Josh Wagner and Marty Hore had a total of 20 intercepts between them - 10 each. Keep digging and you'll pop up in a deserted Wuhan street shortly.
-
He is a big out but they've got plenty more to replace him.
-
Nice first post Si.
-
Set shot kicking is technically far easier than field kicking, the target is much bigger and it's stationary. The problems players encounter are mostly mental. TMac and Hunt are 2 players who manage this.
-
I think North rely on their best players, the issue is that they are senior. Results need to come now. It would have been doubly difficult for North fans "death-riding" our season for an early pick. Either we're better than they thought or their future is horrible.
-
My informed info is that Gosch's Paddock surface is not fit for purpose particularly mid-winter because it's open to public foot traffic. The training surface there directly caused in-season injuries last year. We will need to prevent foot traffic for this to be a meaningful solution.

Well the club hasn't sat on its hands after the disastrous 2018 - new captain, new senior assistant coach, new fitness manager, 3 new senior recruits (Langdon, Tomlinson, Brown), taken an uncharacteristic but welcome risk with Bennell, traded up to have 2 early first round picks. Mahoney and Goodwin are the main constants from last year and I appreciate that some here would have had them first out the door. I don't believe in changing everything at once, you need some continuity and I'm a big believer in Mahoney and Goodwin. It will be interesting to see how we go - their reputations and jobs are on the line.

Price and term heading north quickly. Sign him long term now.
-
Drafted by big bad Barry Prendergast.
-
I thought it was an element.
-
No our 2019 was horrible but so was Richmond's 2016.
-
I was there in 72 when we stormed home only to lose by a point. And again in 91 when the Saints stormed home and we held on by a point. Lucky to get up Clay St alive. If we'd gone up Linton St I wouldn't be here posting.

Yes I agree that the Saints should have won the 2009 flag. I think if Geelong had won as they should have in 2008 then the Saints probably would have won in 2009 - justice would have been done and Ross would have a flag. That's the most star-studded line-up not to win a flag since Geelong under Malcolm Blight in 1989-1995. Malcolm went on to get his flags, Ross - not so much.
-
Jimma and Gazza dayz. I believe we have progressed. I wouldn't want Ross, defence is very important I believe you have to attack at least at some stage to win the flag.
-
Agree, it could get interesting if as we both think Jones and ANB are in competition for the defensive forward role. It's guaranteed that at least one of them will play IMO.
-
Will Ross be good replacement selection for Goodwin?
-
We effectively traded Frost for Langdon.
-
Strange, it reminds me of all the years you relentlessly bagged Neale Daniher and favoured Terry Wallace. How has that wine aged Champ?
-
Where are Melbourne going to finish this year Rono? I don't really expect an answer and I deliberately avoided "we" in the question.
