It's no use. He won't listen, he wants Rivers traded. What Brockstars5 is most likely unaware of - and is totally oblivious to - is that Rivers will be with the club for sometime yet. As Chris Connolly recently pointed out. I'm sure that won't faze the ever ignorant Brockstars5 from 'bagging' Rivers in the meantime, who incidentally has been doing his job for Melbourne despite low 'possessions'.

Very Imaginative WJ.. enjoyed the read. "shickered on the mead" -

Yes. I heard Connolly say they're not sure where to play him back or forward just yet. Wrong thread.

Firstly, with regard to the media talk. It's all just carp or filling air time as far as I am concerned, just look forward to next week. I'm pretty sure Lance Franklins first few games were quiet and questionable from memory. I'm comfortable with where Jack is at with his development being an 18 year old kid. As Hannabal stated a little 'perspective' people. I think the presence of Jurrah and perhaps the no.1 pick will take a bit of focus of Jack in a way - for the future.

Exciting debut. Must have been the lunch you organised for Liam yesterday, RudeBoy! Wow. I really like his demeanor, his hunger for the ball. He's level of confidence, almost a strut of arrogance - 'bring it on'.... He's kicking and hitting targets with weighted balls to teammates was impressive. Good pair of hands for his marking. Led well. A pre season or two will do wonders!

He just missed in my votes. Average first quarter for mine. Good game.

Certainly has put his name in the ring with tonights actions and his game, not that he wasn't already a candidate. I will give him that. He led by example.

How true. At least they didn't kiss their opponents unlike Derm.

Watching the replay. I think he said,"I havent seen anything yet in this game to suggest why he went no1."I was disappointed when i heard it. Considering he had already kicked a goal. It will come.

Looking forward to our "Line in the sand game" - does anyone know when this might be? Round 1 next year?

6 Green 5 Moloney 4 Bruce 3 Davey 2 Sylvia 1 Jurrah

Good debut. Jurrah is 20 Watts is 18 and still a kid. Got a great kick on him for goal. Both have actually.

just over 45,000 pretty good crowd. Pretty close Rogue.

The third quarter was very disappointing and undone the excitement of the first half. Stick fat guys. There is alot of inexperience out there and they havent played alot of football together. Unlike the bombers who have been together a little longer.

I would too. But they have to be elite. I think we all know 'one' is, by reports. We do need a KPF though, it's a little obvious IMO.

How does Brocks stats compare to last year Jaded? Have they improved on 2008?

I'll have an attempt : - FB: Cheney, Warnock, Bennell HB: Frawley, Rivers, Strauss C: Morton, Grimes, Blease HF: Davey, Watts, Sylvia FF: Garland, pick 2 (2009), Jurrah R: Martin, McLean, pick 1 (2009) Interchange: Jones, Jetta, Spencer, Moloney. Emerg: Bate, Aussie, 3rd pick from 2009 draft. Note*: - Connolly

I think it's fair to say, the view from Melbournefc from outsiders is on the verge of becoming a club/team that is going places now - despite our current position, 16th. By the end of season 2010, it will be an attractive "place to be" in terms of a football team on the up.

Sure did. They're one step ahead the ol' boys!

I'm not convinced yet for 2 mids with first two picks - If pick 1&2 or 1&3. Although I see you're thinking and you may have swayed me a little. However, I'm still keen on 1 mid/1 KPF. Riewoldt keeps reminding me of it.

But hey, you're correct, in fact you beat me to it.

Wish him all the best from us. Enjoy the lunch.

Good on you, RudeBoy. Love reading your posts. TBH I'm feeling a little 'edgy' for him tonight. Little nervous. As I'm sure you definitely are. Thanks for that link Timmy. Wow. 2 metres 15 he can jump. That is awesome. We might just see a few contenders for mark of the year! I'll be there at your book launch RudeBoy. If you have one.

Like the Avatar. Short sleeve I'm tipping.
