Yes but what if they (gulp) make the finals?

Question, according to the events page on our website two possible dates are mentioned as to when the Best & Fairest night might take place. I can't imagine that the event would be hold on either of these dates, they seem way to early. I was under the impression that most years we held our B&F around very early November. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/events/tabid/7546/default.aspx

I guess Dermie, like others, has still not got over 1996.

Gold Coast Batman...awesome.

Agree Nasher, The fact of the matter is that if one day the Dallas Cowboys thought 'Gee, that Aaron Davey would make a running back'. Sold. We'll offer him 3 million dollars a year for 5 years he would have to take it. I would not begrudge him for a second because that money is ludicrous. And this is what Folau was faced with, something that this SMH editor doesn't understand. What he should have written an article on is why NRL players get s*^t wages comparatively to AFL? That's the problem behind all of this, and all sports that compete for talent in this country.

They are all very promising players.

Pretty difficult to be taught to play as a key forward when your not playing as one.

On a difficult day to play footy, Carlton had the more experienced heads in the most important age group-24-27: Carlton: Walker Judd Simpson Russell Hadley O'hAilpin Betts Armfield Waite Thornton Houlihan Jamison Carrazzo Melbourne: Miller Sylvia Moloney Rivers Davey Jamar

The AFL has not invested tens of millions of dollars into NSW and Queensland in order for less games to be played...

Pounce if Melbourne are paying at least $3.00 by the first siren!!!

Flogged. 27th April 2008 GABBA Brisbane 19.23 137 Melbourne 13.7 85 Brown well held but Black torched us with 36 disposals.

Good Call. I think/hope Jamar can inspire the rest of them. I like Spencer, once they sought his kicking out he will be a solid deputy. I like his aggression and attack at the man and the footy. Plus he's only 21yo.

Why? Geelong: Drum: 191cm Enright: 187cm Hunt: 185cm Mackie: 192cm Milburn: 189cm Scarlett: 192cm Taylor: 193cm

NicNat didn't want to come to Melbourne. He has been quoted in numerous articles over the past year saying he is very happy to stay in Perth and it would have been very hard to come east...etc. It's a situation that i'm thankful we have avoided. Gold Coast or West Coast would have bust the doors down at the end of 2010/2011 to get him out of our guernsey. And they would have done it to. And we would have got bugger all in return.

A loss this week would be ten times worse than the Hawthorn loss in Round 1.

Greg Denham on SEN just said that Chris Newman will miss with a hamstring injury. Jordan McMahon won's play as he has hurt his shoulder and Will Thursfeld has a hurt hamstring and won't play.

Based on the Casey Report and the description of his performance I wonder where this leaves one Brad Miller?

Been Very impressed with our tackling this year. We don't just tackle as individuals, we tackle as a unit.

I saw enough signs during the Essendon game to be mildly confident of a better year this year. If we had Davey, Bate, Bruce, Green, Watts, Garland, Wonaemirri, McDonald and even Paul Johnson to help out in the ruck a bit we would have won, and won well. Who knows what impact Blease and Tapscott could have had as well. I mean really, for the entire second quarter pretty much we played Martin in the ruck alongside McKenzie, Bartram, and Gysberts. I think we may have won one out of six or seven clearences during this period. The game plan for mine is patently clear. I cannot understand it when people say they are have know idea what our 'structure' is or our 'game plan'. I thought it was quite obvious what were are wanting do on Saturday, and and all costs as well. DAMBUSTERS!!! The days of flooding in certain areas are now over. EVERYWHERE is now flooded. I reckon we've looked at it and gone, right we can't go long over the top of the opposition, we can't chip our way up the field with shortish kicks, we can't go the flanks, we can't kick to contests, So stuff it! Let's go right through em! Right through the middle with a wicked series of warp speed handballs! And then when we are 70 metres, if we have made it through the mindfield of players in the middle, hit a free or leading target or kick the crap out of the footy as hard and long as possible to a contest. This actually was coming off a bit a few times last Saturday, however the problem was Fletcher and others double teamed Jurrah, Martin was dropping marks, and there really was no one else.

The website has not been updated for a while. Does anyone know the training timetable for this week or next week? Cheers.
