Am I the only one who thinks Quayle's comparison to movie stars at the end of each profile uneccessary, forced and cringeworthy?

he was al Nicholson 's [censored] never really dominated against us when Nico played on him

measure him up for fluro green shorts and tshirt he will be quicker than Anthony mcdonald at delivering messages

Definately makes sense open a spot for Mitch Thorp

I'm Officially over the whole Ball saga it won't happen Move along nothing to see here

Source?

The whole Trengove will handle no 1 pick better than Scully is Bollocks Scully is one of the most professional kids to Ever come through the draft

Black seems ok from footage , will he be able to be a Dominant forward based on the footage not sure Looks more Lynden Dunn than Kurt Tippett

on it right now the old fossil has not answered any of my questions and takes 5 minutes to answer every question boring! don't know who chooses the questions he answers b/c collingwood muppets are asking about Luke ball and Welsh and it gets on yet my questions about draft picks not just demon ones don't he did mention trengove wont have any go home factor as his family live on border and that he think Talia , Carlisle and black would be available at 11 groundbreaking stuff

We really are running out of things to post when we bring up Robbo, about as much chance as getting redrafted by us as Neitz. Draft day can't come quick enough

Strauss will bet better than Mcdonald ever will, i say go for a kid but if they choose McDonald .... Martin and Jurrah last two PSD picks I trust the footy dept

don't worry about strauss he with put it back no problems he has a good frame , i saw him recently and he still had good size about him, when he was drafted he was 185cm and 84 kg so definatley no morton or blease

yeah sucks we have to put up with watching the bummers so much on Friday nights, but from purely an attending point of view i don't like Friday night games always a massive rush to get to the game after work much prefer the sat or sunday game all in all i am happy with the draw

I already paid for my reserved seat 11 game, anyone know if i can upgrade to the 16 game now the draw has been released looks like i will be spending winter @ the G

Good post MR magic I am offically over he whole thing, if he comes good if not meh

Back on Ball if he does not sign with the saints before list lodgement on 31st oct is he officially in the open market or do Saints still have dibs on him until the draft?? just read pinned post about dates looks like 10th nov 2pm is D day for Ball

I seem to remember SEN reporting that he signed a 1 year deal a few weeks back guess not SEN tend to make it up as they go along sometimes

I hope Lynden and Master know about Newton's and PJ's budding bromance, could be some tension in the locker room :lol:

I hope Bennel can push up to a wing in the next year or two love his poise and disposal

Cam Scwab was in the run home tonight with DR Turf and Francis Leach great interview they gave him a good 10 minutes main topic of conversation was the Darwin deal, Schwab was excited about potential of Darwin, think we will have good support with Jurrah and Davey and the other brothers in the team. Luke Ball was bought up and the MFC are leaving him alone to think about his future. Ball's manager advised MfC not to bother him whilst on holidays, stressed again how much we want him and that we have a lot to offer Most exciting part was the new jumper, being dark navy schwab spoke aout importance of the right colours how they mean so much to the MFC history. He wanted to go back to the Barassi era with new jumper. Said the MFC faithful will be really happy with it and it as close to the 50's colours as they could get He also mentioned about how we lost a bit of heritage with the royal blue montrosity of the 80's and how we were reborn in 87 when we swithed to navy blue. Schwab was part of the MFC in 87 and spoke fondly of the time It got me excited , as my first memories going to the finals with my dad in 87 as a 9 year old are still the best of my mfc life Schwab is genuine in his love for the club and am so glad he is our CEO. The best move Jimmy and the MFC made in the last 40 years was to replace Mcnamee and headhunt Schwab.I feel great about the future, Melbourne people doing the best for the Melbourne Footy club it has been a long time coming.

I just good wood

i love the Kids agression , who could forget the tackle he laid on Sandilands gives 100%, has good foot skills (although set shots are a worry), not the quickest going around, great pick up for a late draft pick I can see him slotting down to a back pocket at some stage in his career, to become the next matty whelan

I just got inside info Dean Bailey will be making a musical plea from out side Ball's hotel window dressed as the Naked Cowboy

Is there anyway we can delist Bail and rookie him or do we have to keep him on list as he was only drafted last year

I will be bitterly dissapointed if we don't ge Luke Ball & not because of his on field/off field benefits to the club. It would be a massive slap in the face to the MFC if he does not want to come to us, we have no1 PSD pick, room in the cap , he is guaranteed major playing time and the MFC want him. make it happen MFC and get some respect back in the footy world
