RIP Chris Cornell. Another legend gone too soon. Very sad.

One thing that stands out for me aside from the sublime skills and brute strength this bloke has, is how unselfish he is. Quite often someone as silky skilled is likely to be pretty selfish at times. Not Trac, he is always getting others involved in the game. Currently equal 2nd for goal assists in the league. Impressive!

I`m struggling to think of a more exciting kid in my lifetime to make such an impact in his first 20 games in the red and blue. I`m trying to come up with names but none appear.

I'm calm when he has the ball in his hands, haven't been able to say that about too many Dees backmen for a long time bar Salem and now Lewis when he is down back.

If we didn't already know, we have an absolute superstar on our hands. I`m sure there are a load of other stats he will be ranking high in, but 4th in the comp for disposals (mostly contested I`d say) and 5th for tackles is stunning for a kid in his 2nd year who has played a handful of games. He is fast becoming our most important player, particularly with Max out for a few more months!

Not really. ``We`re the eagles, we`re flying high``

Good get! Sounds dodgy as hell..... join the dots!

Didn't Shane Charters make a last minute decision to not provide details to ASADA during the investigation ?? Might have had a chat with the dispute specialist ??

Tracey Holmes...one of the biggest apologists through the saga was she not?

Toot Toot!

Right thing to do Jobe but should have been done the moment you were proven guilty of using Performance Enhancing Drugs. Why has he waited so long, the final hearing results were known over a month ago? Reeks of tap on the shoulder to me.

Grateful for everyone who dons the red n blue Saty ( I wished all 3 delistees well in an earlier post), it was more an indictment on the club and how poor we have been and not all that long ago. Its a little harder for you to accept because you are/were close to them.

Hard to believe 2 of these blokes were top four in the Bluey and 1 was skipper just 3 years ago. The top 10 is simply horrific reading when you think about it bar 2 players..........brace yourselves 2013 Melbourne best and fairest results Winner: Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy – Nathan Jones Second: Sid Anderson Memorial Trophy – Colin Garland Third: Ron Barassi Snr Memorial Trophy – Dean Terlich Fourth: Ivor Warne-Smith Memorial Trophy – Matt Jones Fifth: Dick Taylor Memorial Trophy – Colin Sylvia Sixth: Lynden Dunn . Seventh: James Frawley . Eighth: Jack Trengove Ninth: Jeremy Howe Tenth: Tom McDonald

Yeah true that!!

Yeah I feel for Jack, surprised they didn't even attempt a trade. A sad end to his career with us. I guess it shows you what his currency is out there in the marketplace. Hope someone else gives you a shot! All the best to all 3

As I was saying........

Have heard Jenkins has re-signed with Crows, in fact was done some time ago, just won't be announced til later in the year. Source is a mate with very strong AFC connections including a club legend.

He was interviewed at the Heartland Training session at Toorak Park, no idea what he said BUT highlight of the day for my 2 little boys... Jesse walked passed us on the way home and said bye to the boys and got about 100m in front of us and the boys kept yelling out "bye Jesse Hogan".... Then in the semi darkness I see him turn around and kick an Auskick ball straight to us which we took home. Reckon they will remember that for a long time and I'm sure will get some milage at school!!

Agree, he's been a good pickup, exceeded my expectations already!

There were many people on here underwhelmed by the recruitment of Kennddy and Bugg just quietly... Have some faith in the new FD, they gave barely put a foot wrong the past 2 years

Yeah he was very good again today, similar to last week but he kicked straight! And to think some on here wanted him dropped this week.....

A bit of overreaction going on here. Yes his shots at goal were very poor, but he actually played a decent game of footy otherwise. 10 of his 17 possies were contested, took 9 marks, 5 contsted (team high) and led our score assists with 4. Remind me how many games he has played again? Give him a spell FFS

Yep that would be nice, but not many players are better than Brownlow medallists. Love what Im seeing from him in his first pre season

Anyone else see a bit of a young Adam Cooney in him?

Kid is going to be a gun. He is ready to go Round 1. Get excited, to think we have AvB, CP5 and Gus to come back thru the midfield with him, look out!
