Stalled engine. Then took off again.

He's spent most of his time at half forward, rotating through the midfield.

Personally I think someone like Melksham would provide our group with a seasoned mid and will add to our midfield depth. They're intent on improving the list and sometimes improvements are incremental. He's ok both sides, he's no A-grader. But he's a matured mid, doesn't shirk, loves the game and if the deal is reasonable, back them in. Goodwin has coached him, and from my POV he's a good judge of character. Certainly ready to go mid, rather than a 18yo 3rd rd pick. Surprised by many outlandish statements. If we were to net a quality mid plus Melksham in a months time, D'Landers would surely be beside themselves.

I got mine too old dee. Very quick. Watching highlights of Viney and Hogan attacking contests enables me to be just as quick in renewing.

For Dangerfield's sake, I hope he has a real hard think about his Premiership aspirations. I look at the Geelong side now, with the retirements and pending retirements in the next 12 months, and I can't help think that EOS dress ups on Mad Mondays would be the only thing he have look forward to over the next few seasons. They've been a great team and club for the past 10 years or so, and they may not exactly bottom out like basketcase's of the past because of Geelongs ability to recruit and make changes each year to fill holes and develop kids through to a good standard. If it's a premiership he's after he's probably better off where he is at present. Purely from a neutral perspective. Or take a punt alongside the Hulk at the Dees..

I'm curious, whats wrong here and why such a concern? We're talk'n bout football here..

Is Bennell a chance if GC are keen on Howe?

I blame the supporters...bananas

If I was Cross, I wouldn't tell him that.

Try Goldstein/Hogan on for size..

Smith and Rogers 495 England 415 Smith is going from strength to strength averaging mid 70's since England 2013.

Yeah, where is Rhino these days? Looking forward to the long cold nights, I hope Harris' immediate retirement won't influence the balance of the team. But we will miss him.

Are you talking about Tomic or Krygios?....

Two what, od?

Cheer up, the wheel is turning. Even though it's like turning the Queen Mary.

Goodness gracious...the comments! AA contention this year. Nearly won B&F last year didn't he? Blue chip defender, credit to his hard work and the will to better himself each outing.

Hardwick said it himself. They didn't come to play, and I'd include Rance in Hardwick's labelling of his team - insipid. They are indeed better than that. Rance is better that that. And you're kidding yourself if you disagree. Kudos to Jesse though on his game, he made his presence count on the night, on a big stage. Impressive. Now here comes the big tests. I'm hoping he excels.

Let's see how the kid handles himself in the next few weeks against better organised teams unlike the flakey Richmond we've come to expect.

Agree Redleg. Momentum would be good for this group.

Tough luck re: Faulkner. Great finishing record with the bat. Looks as though Clarke will be back to take the helm. Whilst Bailey hasn't got a great batting record of late in his last several knocks (short knocks). Thoughts ? My thoughts are if he is fit to go, he plays - despite his absence in the ODI arena. Not a bad Summer to date result wise with the exception of the sad loss to Phillip Hughes. NZ have got a terrific record at home, almost a monty for the Semi's one would suggest.

Caught glimpses of it. Didn't make much of an impact on me.

Yes, Pattinson was awesome early. Touch wood they are both injury free and in form approaching the Ashes mid year. It would be awesome if they were one day both playing for Australia in full flight.

Pumped that we've landed this dynamic footballer. Adds something different to our team.

My prayers and thoughts are with Hughesy and his family and mates.
