  2. Is there anything of significance in that observation that the Herald Sun can use to base another story about the club and its culture?
  3. I could be wrong but I thought it was simply an “unnamed source”. How do you think that the source was implied to be coming from SIA?
  4. Still kicking myself about our kicking for goals.
  5. Castlemaine is a lovely part of the world. I lived there for a while but it was badly hit by a drought some years ago. Ron never played for Castlemaine but it produced some great VFL/AFL footballers: • Jack ‘Skinny’ Titus, Richmond (VFL), 1926-1943 (294 games). • Ronald ‘Ron’ James Barassi Snr (VFL), 1936–1940 (58 games). • Warren "Wow" Jones, Carlton and St Kilda (VFL), 1978–85 (123 games). • Rod Keogh, Melbourne and St Kilda (VFL/AFL), 1989-1998 (82 games). • Dustin Martin, Richmond (AFL), 2010-present (289 games). • Kane Farrell, Port Adelaide (AFL), 2018-present (33 games). In the 2009 AFL draft, Melbourne chose Tom (?) and Jack Trengove with the first two picks of the draft. Dustin Martin was third pick.
  6. Sounds like Clarrie finally got the memo from the club :)
  7. Of course it helps if you play every game in the season. How did AMW go?
  8. PM Bangers from bigfooty has us taking Tasmanians McKercher and Leake with our first round picks.
  9. Anyone think it’s possible that we could maneuver our way to a position whereby we could pick two of Duursma, McKercher and Sanders?
  10. My concern with faceless officials making decisions such as these is the random way with which events can be picked up and decisions arrived at which can influence the outcome of a game. In addition, there’s the question of where you draw the line. If you can review goals that have been missed by your on field officials – four field umpires, two goal and two boundary umpires, then why not review whether a player in the vicinity was pushed in the back or taken high? There are enough officials on the ground as it is without complicating the game further with these reviews.
  11. Could someone please explain how the review of Alex Neal-Bullen’s “non goal” worked? It was paid as a goal. The ball was taken to the centre and then a review took place in which it was deemed to have been touched after a quick review. I thought it was inconclusive.
  12. Was concussed in the final round against Brisbane Lions and would be following the protocols. At best, he would only be 50/50 to play with Casey this week.
  13. No way do Salem or Joel Smith who have been regularly playing for Melbourne in the second half of the season, get to play VFL this week.
  14. I’m disappointed that it had to come to this for Casey and for Melbourne. If Casey loses this week then there’s nowhere for the fringe players to get a decent form of competitive match practice while the seniors are playing AFL finals.
  15. Amazing to think that the National Draft is still three months away.
