I remember the 1988 and the 2000 Grand final and we just did not have the hardness needed to win. Maybe we needed other things too but I reckon Aaron Van den Berg is not a fringe player in big matches.

Im pretty sure there are many usernames (and email addresses) used by the one poster. I find it funny when they forget which one they should use. It should be banned.

Still 22 yrs old. 100Kg and 196cm. On his way to being one of the best full backs around.

I think the Stephen May part of the equation is a little overlooked. I think he has been a ripper Full back and his best is in front of him. Brian lake switched to the Hawks much later in his career and won a Norm Smith.

Luke Darcy would and has said anything he likes. I must admit I don't like him at all.

Im thinking an early to mid 2nd rounder. Still pretty good.

Those waiting for a quick answer should realise that many BIG trades end up waiting for other smaller ones to go through. 8.30pm on Wednesday, October 17 is the end of the trade period. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-10/when-is-the-2018-afl-trade-period

If, as it seems quite possible; Sam Stynes is coming and Caro said she is embarrassed by Jim's statue It is Pert's first big social occasion and she burnt him recently Senior officials have lingering grievances Then It is quite reasonable and correct to mark a line in the sand. I find Caro rapidly becoming shrill, irrelevant and reactive this year. Ive been supportive of her in the past. If we change and invite her, the very next time she takes aim at us, she would happily say, "I've got a good relationship with the Melbourne Football Club. They invited me to their GF lunch".

I guess the bottom line is that some see Hoges being able to lead, mark and goal as good as Josh Kennedy in the next year or so. I dont see that, but I can see how they have many similar attributes. Hogan who although has stats showing he is incredibly fast, just cant get on a fast lead and mark high and in front.

I think the Umpires are getting the new Bose boo-cancelling headsets for this game.

That particular mouth has needed to be washed out before. :) But sounds like both sides have walked away. If we dont get a free agent we are still holding pretty much a royal flush in players going into next year, ruck withstanding. if Tyson and Kent are traded we are still well in the 2nd and 3rd round of the draft.

Lets not get in front of ourselves.... but Dusty injured at Tiges training...

This dream is for you so pay the price, make one dream come true, you only live twice

I agree with Viney and Hannan ins but watching again the replay I was very impressed with Jay Kennedy-Harris. He played very well. Better than i thought he had. Its a good position to be in.

Bugg most disposals - 8

Casey 6.2 38 to Geelong 4 pts. Almost qtr time.

Collis kicks a second

Casey 97.7 is not advertising that it is transmitting the game. But it is!

If Jesse wants to stay, he stays. if he wants to go, Im pretty confident he and the club would look after each other.

How many "close this threads" calls were on Jack Watts thread? It doesnt look to me as if Jesse is happy at MFC at all.At all. If he is as staunch as stated fine, but I dont believe it.

Disclaimer: I thought Brayshaw was Gone earlier this year. Now I think that we need to look at future picks. We dont have a 1st rounder this year and although we have done well with later picks last year, Id like to shore up some talent. I think Hogan is worth about what Jake Lever is. If that is so, Id like it to be a 1st round this year and another one next year. I think Tyson, Bugg are later picks but Oscar should be worth a bit. All speculation of course. Love all the players but make hay while the sun shines.

160 years old

Hey we beat a top 8 team too!

Maybe its been suggested before but Oscar is 197cm. Pretty mobile and with Frosty doing a great job (imo) as a tall back, once Jake Lever is back on track, why isnt he thought of as a swap out ruck? With his brother Tom and Hogan/Weids doing their bit, it could get us through a year or two. It seems this year there is a real dearth of good big men.

Please someone, anyone, report on this mornings training session
