Nunce

I'm happy to risk losing 3 good years out of TJ, to possibly gain 10 good years out of pick 14. U win some, u lose some.

I think they should at least try it. There's no doubt Neitz can do it. Although to build a defence around him, with his dodgy knee could be a gamble.

sorry, i started another post regarding neitz as a possible candidate for fullback/half back

All-Australian Centre half back.....(albeit before I went through puberty)........and a bit better on his body than playing up forward. We all know Daniher's reluctance to play him there, but do you think Bailey could place him there? It could also help Newman/Dunn's or even Johnson's development by playing them up forward and making one or all of them targets.

I think some players, from all clubs, enjoy the paycheque and the lifestyle more than they do the football and the footyclub and I think Sylvia is one of those. Sylvia is from my hometown and I'll never forget what he said to me a couple of years ago when he was back for the weekend and his arm was in a sling and Melbourne were playing a crucial game, either a final or a game to get into a final and I asked him how he thought the boys would go on the weekend.. I wont repeat it, but in his defence he was on holidays and having a beer with his mates. For me though, it just confirmed his attitude offfield, is the same onfield

Any thoughts on the long term contract for Judd.........I'll just mention a few names.... Koutafides Hamill Mercuri Darren Gaspar

Why did they sign up Jamar? Its not like we were in danger of losing him to another club? Although Carlton do have a tendency to pick a dud ruckmen.

Agree with everything you said, except that it WOULD suprise me if Travis won the best and fairest in Brisbane next year! Colin Sylvia is another TJ and I believe will be inconsistent over his career. Hopefully he plays a few good games next year, so he can become a bit more valuable in a trade

I'm guessing not all 4 of these players will take the field on the same day, and since Jeff White is going nowhere and John Meesen is new to the club, what are the chances of either Jamar or Johnson being delisted? Are they both contracted?

TJ's career has been mediocre at best. Similar to Melbourne's laast 10 years. He should have done more for the team and as an individual in his time at Melbourne. Hopefully up in Queensland with the horse flu he'll have trouble finding a track to punt at and he'll concentrate on his footy more. Thanks for the memories, but I think Melbourne will be far better off with more young blood in the team. Players like Cam Bruce, Brad Green, Yze, Neitz and co dont excite me anymore. It's the Davey's, Jones', Dunns', Bates, McLean's and hopefully our number 4 and 14 picks who are going to be the ones that might take us to a flag. I know I'm going to get crucified for this, but I think its time for Colin Sylvia to start producing some decent footy next year or we trade him next year and replace him with someone who has the right attitude to play AFL.
