Where is that link from Goose?

Shaft, Would you consider it differently if Melbourne was in Richmonds position..?

I'm sure J.Watts is mature enough..to not feel embarrassed or pi$$ed off. Maybe its water off a ducks back with him. He would understand - and would have been told - as no.1 pick in the ND, alot of exposure comes with the territory of being No.1 pick.

Not sure. Perhaps an informal invitation...?

Good on Smitty. The Swifts. He's a good mentor for the kids, I know he gave alot of good advice through his experience whilst down playing at Werribee under McDonald. Impressive photo too you've posted there Wise. That is the navy blue we need to get back to. By the way Wise, looking pretty fit there mate in your avatar. Solarium or tanning cream?

Fantastic. There would be alot more of these memberships sold than just here on Demonland. If Melbourne fc members happen to buy approx. 5000 of them...there's approx. up to 50,000 kids. The AFL might have to lock the gates... Could be a sell out at a Melb v Freo game... The kids will be in the long room before we know it. It really is a great initiative. Well done Mfc.

Good stuff. We look forward to seeing your design. Will you be expecting any royalties from the club if they choose your design?

If this all gets the green light on Monday, how long will Polak be rookie listed? Until the first long term injury occurs? He'll be back on the list before Wallace can say, "Sheedy, I'm the boss around here, not you!"

Happy with Rockliff's invitation to train with the club.

Nugget, have you sent this to the club at all? Good paint job.

That's for sure. Too opportunistic - definitely smacks of it. Sheedy started the ball rolling in all this when confronting Craig Cameron in public.

...and enjoy the ride! Please note...I did say "somehow". We'd be at the bottom of the odds for the NAB Cup....nice and juicy odds too.

I assume you might be right. Seriously though, I think perhaps all might get a game throughout NAB Cup/NAB Challenge matches. If we 'somehow' go the distance in the NAB Cup, maybe 4 out of the 6 new draftees. (Not including the PSD pick).

I heard Eddie on the news bulletin, he raised virtually the same points you raise here WJ. You can understand other clubs concerns on Richmond's move in this case. If he however ends up at Richmond via the PSD, all of the sudden the midfield reads Deledio, Cousins, Cotchin. Not bad.

Yes, I agree with that. Personally, I believe we should keep Valenti as a rookie and use our PSD#1 on a Rockliff IMO, if a long term injury occurs during season, mfc can call him up.

True.

Yeah, I get that alot from friends recently who are opposition supporters, "...you Melbourne members are suckers for punishment"..they say. After telling them to go stick it, I say, "what goes around comes around, sunshine" - I'm waiting for that day to come, the last 2 years has been long enough. Seeing our new recruits drafted recently on the back of Morton, Grimes, etc from last year and the turnover of the list has given me hope and much needed ammunition for the future when the tables will be turned. :D

I won't be disappointed either. I hope we do.

It's a pleasure.

If you are 'saying' that no one should say things like the photo's themselves are impressive, etc then that IS your opinion IMO You're right in that it's all been absurd. Gee, Newton looks impressive in going for that mark, that you posted there. P.S. Was there something wrong IYO from the below post that was posted by me this morning?

He'd be stuck for words freak. I still want to know his source. I wonder if De Boer is from the same source.

It may have stemmed from this quote: - Fwiw I didn't think it was that negative either. It's 45h's opinion anyway. FFS its just two photo's of one of our new recruits in Rohan Bail. He looks good in both photo's. Leave it at that.

Great update Theo. Some good facts there, Mo. Good to read about the reports and excitement on big Jake Spencer and Jetta. Cheers.

Yes. Lyon has said a few times, the most talented player in his time - apart from Flower - at the club was the Ox.

Thanks for the tip. No doubt this story reported in the HUN today will be covered. I heard Andy Maher talk glowingly of Jimmy's pro-active ideas such as this one this morning. This idea of Jimmy's could 'well' have been mooted at the Summit last month. Aside from that, Gee, Maher can really crap on when he wants to. He needs time in a padded cell.
