Garland is a dumb footballer.. Tries to spoil when he should mark, and tries marks when he should spoil.

A fellow Melbourne supporter actually gave me a smart ass comment today about how I was complaining about our skills... I could not believe it.

He didn't rule it out but he said it wasn't likely. Seemed set on the doggies.

Spoke to a guy from work whose old man is close friends with Steph Martin and does a lot for the club. The personal reason to come back to VIC is because he doesn't like playing for Brisbane plain and simple. There's about 4 clubs interested in his services with the Doggies being the front runners. Mentioned to him about coming back to the Red & Blue but unfortunately Steph doesn't see it happening.

Cameron Ling and Matthew Richardson don't think so http://www.3aw.com.au/news/cameron-ling-and-matthew-richardson-says-melbourne-should-offer-jesse-hogan-a-contract-for-life-20150810-givjr0.html Ling: "Hogan could be to Melbourne what legendary basketballer Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls"

Watts has been trained by Brendan Mccartney to take a run when he has the ball. Back his pace in and try to get into space to free himself up to use his effective disposal in a more damaging way. You can really see the aggression and willingness to bork his opponent more and go for a run. It has been refreshing.

Only reason why he is with us because of his company alongside Matt Jones building wooden furniture.. I think we now have to extend Matt's contract now if we want to keep Gawn

Only 24 years old. Absolutely.

OUT: Michie, Grimes In: Fitzpatrick, Salem

How good was his mark and thumping pack spoils.. Always cool under pressure. Love him!

I hope they don't get it.. Greg Swann was on a mission to ensure we didn't receive a first round compensation pick for Frawley so their first round pick didn't get pushed back which made it harder to acquire Beams..Fk off Swann, I hope your club rots whilst your at the helm.

Not be surprised

In: Salem Out: JKH Not sure if we give the young blokes more of a rest in Neal-Bullen, Stretch Harmes etc.. if so In: Salem, Grimes, Michie, Newton Out: JKH, Neal-Bullen, Stretch, Harmes

Let me ask you this.. If Prestia was at Melbourne and Howe was at Gold coast.. Would you accept pick 4 & Howe for Prestia and pick 20? Absolutely not..If we want to land Prestia it will be pick 4 + Howe with no pick 20 in return.. Simple as that.

Leunberger is an UFA.. don't need to give them anything to attain his services. Dawes + 2nd round pick for Aish. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me why opposing key forwards never seem to miss against us? Is it the thought of playing against a rabble team that is Melbourne that has their confidence sky rocketing? Or is it that our crowd doesn't seem to be as opposing as putting people off their set shots for goal? Whenever it seemed like a Melbourne player was lining up for goal, there were constant boos throughout the stadium from Essendon fans. I'm just getting sick and tired of key forwards kicking bags against us without ever missing.

Blame Toumpas, despite him not playing

If we could land a player that could get us in a final, I'd be down for that!

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-07-09/motlop-given-space-as-he-weighs-up-his-future Landing Motlop would be huge for the club and definitely something that is probable. Howe + 1st round pick for motlop + 2nd round..Thoughts? I would love to see him in the Red and Blue. Goal kicking mid with pace is something we really need.

So like Riley but with better disposal?

BURN THEM ALL!

OUT: Spencer, Bail, M.Jones IN: JKH, Newton, Harmes (sub)

They killed us around the ground when it came to leading and presenting hard. Majority of the West Coast players seem to possess a kick that hardly any of our players do in which it's kept low and hard that draws a leading player. I hardly saw this around the ground last night, we just seemed to be kicking to contests and hoping the ball would fall our way.. We will never win a game against a top team this way.

I'm waiting for the reality bus to arrive..It's scheduled for around 9:00pm tonight, however I am desperately hoping it gets cancelled.

Howe's ability to compete in the air and either mark or bring the ball to ground allowed us to not only straighten us up against the Cats without Hogan, but to also provide a lot of opportunities for our smalls. I think he played a terrific non-selfish game like many of you guys have said. It's players like that we actually need in our side, regardless of their consistency. At the end of the day, he is very important to our structure than a top 10 pick, especially when Hogan is out of the side.
