When Travis pointed to the #20 on his arm after kicking a goal in the Troy Broadbridge game against Essendon.

Still sends a shiver down my spine.

The same for me mate.. the same for me..

Yeh it is a team effort.. But you also do get alot of one on one contests.. Even if its a lead and chase.. Or a wrestle in the goalsquare. I think we need to be looking for a big, quick defender who's work rate is good enough to keep up wit the best FF's in the league. I think with enough time spend on him, Fergy can be someone who can fill the whole, for a while anyways. He will need some work and some good coaching. I would love to see a big strong Fergy round 1 lining up at FB

I think it is a bit passed big Neita... He has been an awesome player.. both in defence and forward... but now that his days are winding down.. he needs to play them up at FF. The game would be too fast paced for him to be playing there. Imagine him lining up on buddy franklin or Fev.. he wont be able to keep up... He is not the answer

We haven't got Scott.

No [censored]

Fergy- Nope, he is depth at best.

Carroll- He is a good full back because he has a magic moe. He is better value as a 2nd defender.

Frawley- Still raw, and not really ready ofr the job

Rivers- Maybe a tad short for CHB (although he does it well) could be a handy FB on quicker forwards.

PJ- Could take the Gorillas when Dutchy is busy being Dutchy.

Buckets- When he is hot he is a solid backman, when he is cold he is our worst player.

Dunn- Why not? He isn't being used up forward.

Miller- APPARENTLY he is baileys love child, so he can play anywhere he wants to.

I think we dont give enough credit to Fergy.. I reckon he could show us next year something special...... I love what u said ' when dutchy is busy being dutchy'

You gotta love him.. hahaha

Has anyone seen any news on Holland and the Recovery from Anthony "Tubs" Rocca sitting on his shoulder?

He played a handful of very good games before the injury and I would look to him to possibly play a similar role in 08, but I still don't know if he is used best up front or back. Hopefully Bailey will also make this call as he surely will with Miller. I think that has been the problem at Melbourne under Daniher other than only having 1 game plan, he used to swap players positions too often and they couldn't settle.

Although we are missing Johnstone's delivery, I still hold hopes for a massive improvement in 08 and look for us to finish anywhere between 8 and 12

Go Dees!

Anthony 'Tubs' Rocca........... haha.. classic

We all know that MFC is in desperate need for a strong fullback (glass type) player. Carroll is a very good footballer, but he is better playing on the 2nd tear forward. Can the Ferberger get big enough and strong enough to play a permenant full back position? Id love to see him do it!! If not, who can?

Newton at Half Forward.. Not yet i reckon

Lets not forget.. its Miller time in 08

Williams is a jet.. but yeah some of the best players havent come back from knee's

With Bailey, Wellman and Scott.... I think we can be expecting to see a fiercer, harder melbourne team running round next year. Should be good :D

I am interested to know what all you demons out there think of how we have gone in the trade this week.

I here this Meeson guy is 201 cm and was one of the fittest blokes running round for the crows last year. Came third in their pre-season trials or something like that. So we know the boy can run, we know the boy has some height to him, but does he have any skills? Its all well and good if he can run out the game, but can he be effective when he gets the ball? Also, what do you think should happen to Jamar and Johnson. Both have showed some potential in our positions but really couldnt hold there own in a key position. If Meeson starts to do well, will we have 2 listed ruckman playing Sandy.... Now that seems a bit pointless. Jeff White is one of the best ruckman running around and if this Meeson bloke can be one of the best backup ruckman running round, we could be giving our midfielders first use of the ball against anyone, even when White needs a rest... Thats something to be excited about.

I was sadden to hear all of the Travis experience to unfold this week. I have loved watching him occasionally turn a game on its head over the last 10 years, but as hard as it is to say, its time for him to move on. I think he will be an absolute danger under Leigh Mathiews next year, that coach is known for getting inside his players heads and getting them right. Also, we all know Travis loves a beer and loves to hit up the town, so maybe if he gets away from the scene down in Melbourne he will finally fully concentrate on the game that we all know he can play. No one has ever doubted Travis's ability, but we all knew his work effort was to be questioned. With Leigh and the Lions he could be playing his best football ever, next year. I hope all you demons get behind him and wish him luck for the rest of his career.

But what the [censored] do we get from him? Pick 14. Fair enough first round. But this guy is at least worth their pick 8. He will be in there top 5 players next year, id put my house on it.

So demons, let me know what you think? I'm very interested to hear the voice down at demonland.
