It's automatic you [censored]

The "uber" tends to give it away.....

Unless it is him, pretending not to be him, which could well be the case. It is a great laugh though.

I think you mean this guy. https://twitter.com/UberAGeorgiou Very funny, but not him.

I think it's fair. I would rather the spotlight be off our boy for now. The commentators didn't seem to notice him either. He is fairly evasive.

Being Melbourne supporters we are fairly bereft of hope. But there was a more optimistic time when I would not have lost hope at making a charge for September. Belief is a funny thing.

oi!

These are the little wins that we need to get, as well as swapping Sylvia for Vince, Daniel Cross, turning up JKH at 40 etc. That's what the good clubs do, their list changes are nett improvements. Pedersen is becoming a very important player.

Kid is a great talent. His ability to take the ball at speed is already elite. Class midfielder developing nicely.

The commentors showed us no respect. The efforts of JKH and Viney hardly rated a mention

The subject was raised, we can start a thread if you like. The greatest irony is that the ones who get their noses so out of joint with some of these valid points are the ones who purport to be about free speech. It's an opinion, and one that is shared by others, many of whom don't post here regularly because of it. I have been around for a long time, the place has changed. Paul is right, there is still good stuff here, but it isn't as frequent and easy to find as it used to be....and some very good contributors are now absent or very infrequent. I think people who post need to take it upon themselves to consider the relevance of what they post. No-one wants to see humour disappear, but pages upon of carp by the same individuals over and over designed only to amuse only themselves is not what I believe this site is about. The PM facility is available.

I must say I'm in semi agreement with Sambo and Autocol. While there is always a place for a gag, when you get pages full of unfunny rubbish on a Christian Salem thread it becomes unreadable and makes the site less of what was intended and turns it more into something else.

Considering the results of the previous comparisons... I see similarities between Salem and a young Brent Grgic only a little softer.

If you include the Catholic system then I am a private schoolboy too as are my two sons. I would have been called a lot of things as a footballer but I doubt soft was ever one. My boys are lunatics on the ground and I coach a number of boys who go to private schools as well as public schools. From the 60 or so kids that I look after the private school kids are probably as a rule tougher if anything. But I am not in Melbourne.

What constitutes a private school?

Very frank. A nice change some of the pocket pissing reviews of the past. It is fairly easy to predict those in line for selection.

No, there are so many reasons why he is scrutinised so heavily.

Not quite mate, I said I thought he would end up like James Hird. I also suspected that the club was instructing him to stay away from packs, clearly got that wrong too. It does highlight that Jack was not ready to play senior footy. He should not have been rewarded with selection for playing that style of game. We may still be paying the price.

Note the arguments with a couple of well known posters who really got their noses out of joint.

I saw enough in that quarter to suggest that he holds a large amount of promise. Strong one grab hands, a couple of very good flat kicks culminating from right decisions, a willingness to take responsibilty, some ball attracting ability and a strong body that is hard to knock. Was not overawed in the slightest and looked like he belonged. Yes you can see all that in a quarter. Vigilantly excited.

I think that there are a lot of hypotheses about our under performers but we need to deal with facts. On face value there are a couple of passengers worthy of being baked by their coach and teammates and these players are worthy of an extended run at Casey at the least. It's up to Roosy to decide whether these things are actions that are going to advance the MFC. IE build the team ethos and develop these players.

if he can eliminate the 2 or 3 stupid kicks that he manages every week he would be much better.

I reckon this guy will end up a mid and a useful one at that, runs hard, links up and given time will use it well and make good decisions.

Yes to Salem
