At least we have our priorities right.

he came into the squad of 25 to be an emergency. Great to see Fitzy Debut, all the best. Bate should be sub.

He can play for Casey this week as Melbourne are still playing. 2nd week he cannot i think is the rules.

How dumb must this bloke be? The money betting bring into the game it would be silly to say no. If they police it well like it looks like, hand down heavy penalties the message may get through.

Hopefully -In Fitzpatrick and Bail Outs Jurrah and Mcnamara.

James Fantasia on SEN reckons article is bogus and they think he will stay. Pretty ordinary reporting you would think with one game left. He would have had to be %100 otherwise it's a dog act. Interesting if Ward plays this weekend.

Interesting Ward going, having grown up in the Western suburbs. not good news for the doggies. All the talk was he was going and that the Bullies had almost accepted it. We have kept fighting to keep Scully.

I am happy for Port, if those guys weren't coming to Melbourne I am glad they stayed. It was the same with Walker. The media just go with anything they hear. They never commit saying 98% sure to give themselves an out. No reason not believe Scully. Problem is everyone nowadays seem to read the papers and watch Tv news and thinks it's 100% true. Look at choppergate on channel 9, they even lie about a live broadcast for news! The only people I think would know if Scully is going would be Tom and his manager and family. Not sure they would be telling Schwarze and barrett etc. We also need to remember we have 3 key players out of contract. Scully, Sylvia and Morton. I dare say GWS are chasing all 3. Almost certain Sylvia will stay, will take a lot for him to leave.

Listening to the radio and being at the ground I think there was at least 8 times gold coast were streaming forward with 2 or 3 loose players. It was a worry. But we haver to remember that Viney has tried to change our gameplan. More defensive mindset and different set ups. This takes a long time to work with the same players playing together. This is the reason West Coast were like they were last year (some other factors involved). Also a fitness issue we have a lot of younger players and they will have to improve running defensively. Also we have to give credit to Guy Mckenna, I think he is one of the best coaches in the business. The main reason why the Suns have been respectable.

I thought it's announced Tuesday?

Brian Royals idea from what Viney said. But it was great to see something different and some kid of tactics. Under Bailey it was hard to pick up what kind of tactic there was. We seemed to put tall players on the flanks and bomb it long. Will be interesting to see how it will go against a team that zones.

West Coast will never touch a Morton again. Spoke to a few guys he went to school with and a fmaily friends at the Presidents lunch a few weeks ago. He grew up as a Melbourne supporter. I brought up that there were rumours that he wanted to come hokme. They knew nothing. West Coast will not give him up. Don't think he will leave, early on its always hard for players but I think once he adjust he will be happy there.

I think we lacked intensity yesterday. Which we have for quite a few games this year. This was the reason Gold Coast could take it up to us. We just did what was required. A few guys had of days. We need to learn to be 'up' for every game which the new coach will have to bring. Thought Jetta's hardness was really good. Laid a big bump that set up a goal and did a few nice things. Still needs more involvement but would need more time in the middle i feel.

Melbourne will always put Melbourne first. Why you would want to worry about Caseys finals is beyond me. Petterd I have a feeling is out the the season anyway. They can play the first week of the finals as Melbourne are still playing. Davey should play at Casey as he isn't good enough. Fitzpatrick deserves his debut.

Beamer has stood up on many occasions in big games. Remember Queens birthday last year? Don't forget also he is the number one target by oppostion clubs. Also off the field he leads, he organises the boxing camp down torquay when he could have the weekend off. A player wouldn't be second on clearences (1 ahead of Judd) if he could only play well against weaker sides.) But back to Scully thank god we will find out out in about 2 weeks! So over it.

Sylvia, Moloney Jones and Garland. Jamar missed to many weeks. The other end of the scale we'll find Green. Where will he finish?

No they won't. If they want him to debut he will. No player will ever ever say I will stay in the two's instead of making there debut. I hope the big fella plays. Also Mcnamara out, doesn't give much would like to see bail get another game.

21,435... Hoping for a win, will be my last game for a long time. Moving to Canada so will definately try to snag a few on the ground afterwards. Bringing a few mates for my going away drinks!

People want to delist or trade Morton? Glad some people aren't running the Footy department!

This is very correct. Morton also cops it for taking to long but if there is no option up the field other than bombing it to the opposition your stuffed either way.

Typing on an ipad is terrible while trying to eat! Had to get it done before the city loop! Hope it's not true, just what I heard.

Heard from someone in Cotore Schwabb gone from hiring his mates on 300k a year and Connolly might be too.

We are a good chance to have a younger more inexperienced line up for the match. There first game on the G.

Mentioned something similar on On the couch. All were pretty surprised by it. I understand where they were coming from. But they also mentioned Green was out of contract?

Id like him as the defensive coach or is that to american? Did well with the Hawks cluster.
