From the article: - Thanks BB. "If coaches of bottom teams manipulate their teams for long term gain in the last game or two and that is regarded as tanking, then so be it." This from Lethal Leigh, arguably one of the games greatest players, if not the greatest. Those who enjoy seeing the kids play for the Dees and want them to continue to do their best and try to win, should not fear then.

Ha Ha. No, you're quite right. He is.......... LIAM JURRAH ....

Would you like to see that on Grand Final day RudeBoy??

Why would they pack up for the year? They've won 6 games.

I agree. Fwiw, we will not be 'finished' if it doesn't work out the way most want it, we'll probably be just another side that falls short, again. However, what we won't have is - arguably - a stronger list. To be a contender for a Premiership down the track you need a strong list with quality players. If there is 5 or more wins we miss the opportunity to gain 2 of the best available for the draft. We would therefore miss that advantage over other sides. And by doing that, with the Gold Coast and West Sydney on the horizon, there might not be a better chance to drink at the well (draft time) of young talent for sometime, than right now. He is passionate just as any of us, and wants to see a Premiership for the Melbourne Football Club. It's been mentioned before on threads about 'Top 6' players at clubs. It's up to the Melbourne Football Club and the next 6 weeks, to determine the strength of the list going forward.

Rpfc - Very very clever Joeboy - enjoy the trip 45hotgod - hindsight wonderful thing dee-luded - nice 3word analysis

Currently: - 1. Jack Watts 2. Liam Jurrah 3. Cale Morton 4. Jack Grimes 5. Colin Sylvia Missed 5th - Brent Moloney, Brock McLean, Aaron Davey, James Frawley, Colin Garland, Jamie Bennell, Sam Blease, Mark Jamar.

I'll second that. PS. can we now move the motion...

If he has one little inkling of a sore back, I want the club to look after him. Put him in cotton wool for the start of the pre-season. This kid is as valuable as any player at the club right now. (well, you can build cases for Jurrah & Watts ). So if his back is sore - and we know he has had back problems earlier this season - send him to the paddock for a spell.

Good summary. Mine are Grimes, Sylvia, Frawley, Davey. Moloney for mine has always been the same, it's just he is now injury free and playing consistent footy.

Werribee.

One week at a time...

What do you listen or watch the above mentioned games I posted? I suggested these because I can guarantee I'm not interested in these types of games. And I'm not the least bit interested in listening to her.

Good post Einstein. And good on you for now being honest with yourself. I was at that game against Freo when Modra kicked 10. Massive upset. I don't play poker like fev does. I occassionally have a footy quad or a Friday night quater quad with a mate, probably once a month. Any other gambling usually is on the punt around Spring time in melbourne, or a flutter on the Brownlow. A few bets in autumn racing too (Easter Holidays). That's it for me.

I think Kelli should be given a fair go.............they should give her the job fo commentating on the Frem v Port, Bris v Frem, Syd v Frem games.

True.

It's not going to happen?

RudeBoy's heart beats for Liam. Perhaps one day it may beat true for the Red & Blue.

Where do you think he could go, early?

I would rather they take Hardwick. Leaving Viney at Adelaide as assistant until sometime he feels he needs a change of environment.

Thanks for that. Is he in the 'too hard' basket then? ie 'could mould him into a decent player'

3 long weeks too!

I don't doubt you either RudeBoy. I think we have been given a great gift. But I'll try to keep a lid on it.

Wonder if some had Jetta mistaken for Bennell who played well?
