Well then they wouldn't be cursing.....they'd be bringing out the bubbly!

I am shaking my head right now.....I can't believe Richmond have selected Greg Tivendale...a few of my mates who support the Tigers would be cursing at that selection by Wallace. He's had more recalls than the National Food Authority has had product recalls!

I would like to see Morton play in Grimes first game. It might be the last three on the extended interchange bench, be listed as emergencies. Good to see Maric back in. How's that? Last years top 3 National Draft Picks for Melbourne - all playing their first game together. Pick 4 Morton, Pick 14 Grimes, Pick 21 Maric. Gives me goose bumps........

Not it isn't the Colin Sylvia forum, its the Andrew Lovett forum, but you brought it up, as you have tried in another forum. Sylvia is on the improve, Lovett has no brain. Les Bamblett.......FFS. Give me strength!

Good one True Believer. Wonder if they will reply to that? I'm sending one now.

You would have to be a fool to give any credit to BB for PJ's run down on Sherman. That came from within.

I'd imagine torpedo there would be others present on Sunday evening who have not given yet, as well as some who have already given.

My thoughts precisely, Holland to FF.

You care to elaborate on that..........to support your argument? Because IMO Sylvia has done more this year than Lovett has ever done.

Very good I.A.N..... Karl Langdon said its a certainty that Cuz will be at the Lexus Centre. He reckons it's been done for sometime and its just a matter of happening. I'd love to know just how they're going to go about it, if it is in fact true!

I read that thread, mousey, probably just Bluey starting a rumour. Because CJ is from Western Australia just intensifies the rumour. Still, if it frees up PSD pick No.1 and doesn't effect our draft picks, it wouldn't suprise me.

No doubt Jack Grimes debut for Melbourne this week against Richmond has grabbed the excitement and attention of Demonland posters, and I'm sure those at Demonology. Question. OK. Your the coach. Where would you start him? And if he starts on the bench, where would you put him on the field when you make a move? On Richo?! Fwiw. I'd start him on a wing for the start of the game.

Speaking of orbit....Voss is like Hayleys Comet brey9186............A player like that only comes around every 74 years...

I prefer the darker blue to the royal blue of the 80's....

They may be considered by some to be a cop-out for coaches, including your opinion. However, how else is a club meant to get kids experience. It's by playing them, throwing them in the deep end and seeing if they'll swim..so they do "play the kids", as has DB with Martin, Garland, Maric, Wonaeamirri, etc. Bottoming out is just a phrase that can be used to describe exactly what the Mfc is going through. Alot of senior players are finishing up, alot of new kids are coming in and learning the game plan and are not able to compete with stronger clubs. Hence "Bottoming Out!" Football followers understand the phrases. It's not a cop out, more often than not its just reality.

Agree Jaded. Doesn't suprise me at all what the "Carlton Crew" were able to offer Judd. The AFL's admin have massive issues such as this. Let's not forget what J.Akermanis has brought to light regarding random Testing. How on earth the AFL and ASADA expect to clean up the game, when the same three players have been random tested the last 3 times they have visited the Bulldogs! Don't get me started on the rules committee. Don't get me started on the selection committee for the NAB and All Australian selections....

And Horsburgh/Jackson at Essendon...

Rubbish. Look at Geelong.

12:57pm update: B is winning 51% to A 49%! Edit: Yes BB, I think Adrian Anderson has been deleting, he must be behind the paragraph: - "It is an AFL requirement for the basis of the clash strip to be a light colour, so as to avoid clashes with other clubs whose players wear a dark strip." :angry:

Fwiw... I liked this one from a previous thread.

Why should I? You're entitled to your opinion, just like anyone else. And I'm sure you have some positive things to say occassionally, unlike a few, who seem to post negative opinions every post regardless of the topic. I'm a little perplexed and confused as to why the club has given a choice of two to the members/supporters. Personally I would prefer a predominantly red with blue Mfc on front - with no white at all. It's been worn before...

:D JESAULENKO.......YOU BEAUTTYYYYY!!!!!! Go Grimesy! May he play as many games as Yze and White. Great to see he plays in a game that he's heroes play their last. Having had posters of them up on his wall!

Demons32 - Some sense to the forum for once. It shouldn't really matter if it looks similar to Carlton's. It's part of tradition. We wouldn't be playing Carlton in their clash jumper with our clash jumper. Re: Once in a while - it should only be worn against Essendon and maybe Freo home games IMO. IMO Carlton and Melbourne games should wear their traditional jumpers.

These guys would of looked well out of place down Collins Street! well, Jonathon Brown would anyway.
