Roost It

Out of interest what is a "hit up CHF"?

I sat in the North supporters section with a North friend. They were very quiet. The noise from the other side of the ground was far louder. It just reminds me how lucky we are to be at the MCG. Essendon and Carlton fans must be gutted they have to play there so much, not that I care.

In Mckenzie, Miller Out Martin, Petterd

Whether you like him or not Cam Bruce will not be playing in our next premiership side - Now that's a Fact!

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Watts was long regarded as a top pick, we're you got your 30 something I don't know. He didn't go Number 1 because we needed a Key Forward he went Number 1 because he was the "Best Available Talent" at the pick we had, which happened to be 1' Please refrain from mentioning his name with the likes of petrie, Cloke and Mooney. The fact is if you ever watched him play you would know that he has the ability to be a genuine superstar. You might not know that but plenty do.

I think the correct term is "Harsh but Fair"

I'm over floggings and I'm pretty sure our players are too. Yes we our young, inexperienced & our injury list is short however we still have Morton, Strauss, Cheney, Bail, Miller, Rivers, Jetta and Maric who have all played senior football and could easily slot into our side. Not to mention one fairly handy Number 1 pick as well as a bloke from Yuendumu who all may look upon your post with the same disdain I just did. The 6-8 wins thing is "SO PRESEASON" Minimum 10 with ease.

The words ideal and games at Docklands don't go together. Let the corporates come to the MCG for our home games on Friday night

Quite a few on this site need to read this

Which Universe? The Universe where Melbourne are ordinary - That has already ceased to exist!

Geez, don't we start dancing on graves quickly around here.

I wasn't worried until I read this post

Finally after 3789 Jack Watts threads someone has put their finger on it. Melbourne, who recruited a tall, extremely skilled, super quick and mobile player with beautiful lateral movement and a pair of hands you could spin silk from actually now believe he is in fact another Hawkins. A struggling young forward who himself is still learning the game at AFL level. I'm no longer reading Jack Watts threads!

No but I remember your downtrodden view of our club just 4 weeks ago. (Sorry, just couldn't help myself )

They won't drop Bennell, he's going to be a very, very handy player.

Depending on how he's training I can't see him playing more than 1 week at Casey

"Sam Blease - serviceable without being outstanding which, together with general soreness, was all that could be expected after his first game since being drafted at the end of 2008" Really glad this kid is finally playing. As for Watts - Watts the hurry? We're doing fine without him.

It's the one win I really want, even more so than Collingwood

But you know he is don't you.

We have overcome losing culture by drafting winners. The likes of Watts, Scully, Trengove, Morton, Jurrah, Blease are the elite junior talent in the country. They only play to win and the change at the club has been dramatic and beautiful to watch.

Early indicators have Melbourne a long, long way in front.

He was a huge asset to them and an integral part of their team. They always knew he was flawed but did absolutely nothing to help him improve his ways. Instead they sat back and watched him implode time and time again without any punishment or counseling. Then they all sat around and watched him drink himself silly at the Brownlow. Not to mention allowing Channel 9 to turn the whole night into the Fevola Show. Thanks to this shocking player management they are forced to move him on and leave themselves without a key forward. Of course this bit I like.

No. More likely a young talented kid playing inconsistent football as he learns the game at the top level. Just move on. Your's and others paranoia regarding Nik Nat and Watts is unsettling. It's going to be ok. Watts will be a star, just suck it up and allow them both to play some great footy.

No player in the history of the game has been so utterly let down by his employer as Fevola was at Carlton. They are a rabble of a club and I can't wait to roll them.

I'd try the '64 manual personally.
