I think alot of people forget that Garry won the equivelent to the NAB rising star (Was Norwich rising star in 86) and was easily our most talented player. i am sorry Rhino, Flower was our heart and soul, But Lyon was our Reiwoldt and was sadly missed that finals campaign.

Sorry, but that train of thought is old and outdated. He is a commodity and a valued one at that. And while we are struggling at a club level, stupid, moronic and immature acts like Sylvia's does nothing to help our situation. DUMB,DUMB,DUMB...

This year is starting to resemble a small whirlwind turning into a big hurricane destroying what should be a great year for us. I just dont understand... if i was talented and given the oppurtunity to play AFL, i would not act like a spoilt rock star that has had a one hit wonder... It is just so dissapointing... i am really hurting about this year already. I can only hope that we find some character and start proving people wrong...

Ok, i shouldn't speak for others, and i shouldn't say i will give it away, because i wouldn't, thats just the level of frustration i am feeling.

Not me man, call me crazy, i am just pretty keen to see some real success, and i hope i'm not being greedy here when i say i would like to be alive to see a premiership. I think it is far worse to sit there and say nothing. It's not like this has been just a year or so without success, mate, things havn't been 'rockin and rolling along' for a long time now. Please dont imply we are front runners, just very frustrated supporters who have every right to question a club who is not performing well.

By the way we are playing, thats exactley what looks like is happening.. I am serious "mate", unfortunately i dont think you get it, practice matches are the launching pad for a club's on field and more importantly off field preperation, and what we served up is attrocious, And dont worry, we are crap now, the players look like they dont care less, and that's the reason this club is disappearing. Thanks for answering that for me. And dont give me "fair dinkum mate, melbourne supporter indeed", i am a supporter, have been for a very long time, i have paid my dues, and i am entitled to stand up and say it how it is, if our players did the same, things might change.

That is exactley the reason we should take this game at face value and the reason why we should be so worried, why wouldnt we play with the upmost committment, why wouldnt we have a real crack.. I am sick an tired of people saying no need to panic and it's only a praccy match.. right now, we are the furtherest away from real success that it scares me. This team gives us nothing, this club is teetering on the edge extinction and this year will be another year where we (members) will be left empty and pondering what our future is. Fair dinkum, this club had better start lifting it's game or i and i suspect a few others will give it away!

I'm out, going to have a beer and kick the footy with my daughter, her enthusiasm would nt go astray in the current list...and she is only 16 months old. Melbourne [censored] me at the moment...

i'm not giving up...but my mate might be interested in this odds..

NOt one win in any match and didnt really look like it, it's not losing that is getting me p!ssed off, it's the way we are losing.

Disheartning, disallusioned and really disapointed.

The season cannot come around quick enough for us. While it's ok to say we are still learning to deal with new game plan's and young players and testing depth, i am sick of losing, it seems to be a culture we have embraced of late. I for one am very dissapointed with our pre season form, no wonder no one rates us or takes us seriously... i'm a little over it actually!

It has to be Sampi, every team needs an x factor, we dont have one at the moment. And kids are kids, we have enough now, we will rookie 4, so why take a young bloke that did not make the top 80 in the ND. Sampi would be a brilliant pick up, at alow cost.

I like the cut of Deano's jib, but right now, he has alot of work to do. Talking in December is one thing, action in march is when he will really start to be judged. But so far, i think he is a god fit. Also great to G.Lyon get involved and talk Robbo around. Like the article says, Garry gets criticised for not being involved in the club, but he is red and blue through and through, and he is often talking to players...when they ask him. a true club great!!!

It seems we are all obsessed with youth and development. Yze has been a great player for Melbourne, a terrific loyal servant who when on fire is as mercurial as any player in the league. Dont get cynisim confused with reality. When he kicks a beauty from the boundry at some stage this year, then we will all be going mad, and i think contract negotiations will be the last thing on anyones mind. He deserves better than that!

I find this a fairly silly post in all honesty. Sorry. I love Neita, think he is a great leader, a real warrior for the team, and a MFC champion. But to suggest he should be included into the team of the century is crazy.

Here here, if he's fit, then he should be the [censored]!

There is no doubt that Sylvia looms as a huge x-factor for us in 2008. he has teased and struggled with fitness, but if he is right to go, and his input increases, then yeah, he may just be the most important demon in 08! i would love to see him finally arrive.

I want sampi if he proves himself on the track over the next 2 weeks. i think he would be a great investment for little financial sacrifice. We do now have a good stockpile of young raw players, lets add a hard bodied experianced afl player to our list.

It could also just be Chris Connolly. A man who brings a melbourne background who is much loved and respected. I know that the players are loving him being around and i think it is a great move for him to be football manager.

it seems we have used the production versus potential theory. Of the main players we picked they have produced on the feild, rather than they have the potential to be a great player. I love the fact that we have done this. Footballers before athletes...

Nice one ym, i agree, all of a sudden i am super pumped about 2008. i expect to see all top 3 draft picks (ours 4,14,21) play at some stage, Mr Cheeney and the mac daddy may also play. All i can say to every potential member, sign up, this is going to be one hell of a ride.

Being a big fan of a former no 3, i would like to see cale Morton don the 3. But im not a huge one for honor. the honor is in becoming a Demon, the number on your jumper is yours to make your own history.

St Kilda have done it again..gehrig, honestly imo Reiwoldt and Kozzie are better off without the g-train, but anyway, who gives a [censored] about the saints.. so far so good for the Dees.

Whats the general feel on the first 3 picks guys. I am happy, although no real big body players worries me a bit, but no doubt we have had a good draft so far.. Maybe Rance is the only one i think might have been worth a crack? Thoughts..
