jumbo returns

More of the same - one with dodgy shoulders, one with manageable OP.

Potentially.....

Reported (allegedly) that he and the Club are poles apart in negotiations thus far. Greg Denham said that he would be 'perfect fit' for the Swans. How is his signature going? Important player to sign, I reckon....thoughts?

Jack on Game Day just said that he's 9.5 out of 10 'sure' that Tom Scully would stay a Dees player. Further, he stipulated that a group plays for success and premierships and he said if Tom gets paid a little bit more at Melb, he 'wouldn't care' He is such a well spoken kid, he's got leadership written all over him and handled Robbo's loaded questions with aplomb. Lingy said that Jack's tackle was 'magnificent' I just copied this from the Jack Trengove thread

True - but where do they get it from?

I'm not offay with Melb's revenues, but they have never been an affluent club.

There's no way in the whole wide world that: 1. Malthouse would come to Melbourne 2. Melbourne can afford Malthouse I heard Dean on Dribble M before and he MAKES sense, he knows the game, but whose fault is the execution? Our senior players. There! I've said it.

Does his OP still flare? 4th game off a 6 day break? I think his body is suspect....

I don't think it was just Chip - our followers really felt the strength of hard bodies tonight. Picken on Scully, Ward on everybody, Hudson on Jamar and Boyd on Beamer. These guys have had it their own way a bit in the last couple of weeks and they needed a Plan B. Alas, the FD might be bereft of ideas.

BTW, why has Jurrah stopped going for his marks? FD instructions?

The Dogs had bigger bodies and played disciplined footy. Picken didn't let Scully breathe. Boyd was as strong as Moloney and stopped his clearance work Hudson was just as strong as Jamar and too strong for Martin Hill and Ward scared the crap out of Gysberts by going hard. Nuff said

And part and parcel for accepting these efforts year after year? I feel your pain.

100% agree on this post - he is leading the way in gut wrenching running (probably trying to outdo Scully!) but I love his long bombs, he's a beautiful kick.

Mathematically you make sense, but there's no use in making the eight without beating a team above us....Hawks and Cats for me.

Fair enough, point taken. Perhaps my chest swells with some optimism after watching the last 2 weeks unfold. There's a different attitude, belief?

Our team is known for its upsets. Huge win against the Weagles with a depleted side, (Robbo starred) massive win against the Lions when Neita kicked a few..... Don't write them off - there's been some real resilience shown in the last couple of weeks and the ball movement has been as good as any team going around. Also, Geelong will drop a game soon.

The upset of the year - a win at the Cattery, we kick 15 odd goals, with Watts kicking 3. The Cats surge, but the boys get up by 9 points, Scully BOG.

Davey should be a walk up start - a senior player who's finally got his body right. Damaging kick off half back, will allow the press to be further instigated and developed. A must for me....

+1

As maco said, maybe Bennell? Anything can happen in 5 weeks...

Agree - but....if he comes back now, 3 weeks to get fit, 2 weeks back at Casey....ready for the finals!!

Who is GWS's CEO? What's his name? What a load of BS!! I usually keep my cool with all posters and love talking footy, but I will NEVER click on a TS thread until the final outcome is known.
