Sir Why You Little

Its only west Coke we need to worry about with wins as they won 4 games last year, so they are the only immediate worry to our picks.

It was sadly a case of not enough space. Those old Video Reels were 2 inch Tape and thus very big, They just didn't have room-they were also quite expensive so many would have been re used. Sad that Ch 7 can't run some of that stuff late night. Mike Williamson & Jack Edwards Bluey Adams-He was a great Commentator. The Chimp Bob Skilton

Sadly we would not have won in 87. Both Brian Wilson & Robbie Flower had Broken Collar Bones from the Preliminary Final. Those Bastard Carlton Cheats would have eaten us like they did Hawthorn. That was a savage Tough Prelim.

HaHa! That is beautifully Bizzare. That day was surreal, When Flower Ran through the Banner you could feel the energy inside the ground like a tidal wave. Superb Day I got that game on VHS as well. Had to buy it from sportsplay. Remember them???

Yep i almost agree with that, apart from that actual First Final in '87 when we had actually made it. Walking into the G was a proud moment. I felt like my dad did back in the '50's. When Viney kicked that Early Goal The MCC reserve went off.

Collingwood owe us big time for 1990 & they know it. Hawthorn killed them regularly in that era.

I think it was stephen Powell & Robbo that Collided. The last Game Powelly played for us. He was a tough player who's type we could use right now.

I have the entire game on VHS but it is years since i have watched it. Yes that cutaway of Ricky Smiling-he knew we had got away with that one!!!

2 of the best quarters & 2 of the worst quarters the3 club has ever played. Remarkable Game-I still have the VHS somewhere.

Yep i was there-loved getting wet, had a SHOCKING Hangover but that disappeared with Victory. I think it was Ricky Jackson who was awarded a goal, that looked very much like a point!!! I remember a carlton supporter running on the ground to get the Ump!! G Lyons Bomb right on Half time was pure Art.

Yes that may set up a Brilliant GOOD FRIDAY Rivalry. A Time slot both clubs should Pursue. Demons v Saints at the 'G Twilight Game. would be superb...

That is just so wrong & ill informed, But expected from a shallow Filth Supporter i suppose. Back to your cell, it's still mid week.

Wheatleys time is up sadly. He is not up to it. He played a good season last year, because we were so crap. Yes he is a mighty kick but i still don't believe he is in our best 22. He should be but he is not.

West Coke beating the Tasmanian Hawks has saved us from that dilema i believe. We need a win on the 'G to put some pride into the Jumper this week, otherwise all the Draft picks in the world will not save us. We are allowed 3 more wins & this could be one. West Coke will win again in perth before the seasons end-i am confident of that.

I think we should play Watts in the Backline for a few weeks to get him into the game-get him chasing so he reads the tempo better. At the Moment he is like a rabbit looking at headlights. He will be a Gun but is not reading the AFL Tempo yet.

I think our Facilities let us down most, & the Lack of a really Hard "win at all costs" Culture-with no disrespect to the players of the day. 1998 was a good side when Stinga could play-But G Lyon couldn't move in the Prelim Final-his Back was shot as were our chances. In '95 Losing the Ox Pre-season cost us dearly as he would have been as good as Carey if his knees had stayed strong. I cried that day over a quiet Beer. I knew our chance was gone. Balmey would have done well with the right Cattle. Read the RED FOX. We have to be more Pro active as a club, as we were under Smithy. Because of financial Constraints this club over time has become reactive-This must stop.....

I agree Martin could be an exceptional Forward in years to come-certainly worth a good look. Newton has done nothing to deserve a senior spot. Senior Spots need to be Earned, not given. Otherwise this club will be doomed to fail.

I agree RR but at the same time our performance against the lions was just so unacceptable. We have gone Backwards this year & that concerns me. Our Mid field is just so slow, which is wierd considering we have the Quickest player in the league in the Backline. Davey has been Great this year, but most of his work is not hurting the oppositions as he is too far from goal. Bailey should be more bold in these later rounds. Move the team around- Give the Boys some Challenges. They looked so predictably Bad last week. Stefan Martin was good-he could be a total Gun with Jurrah.. C'mon Bails Go Bold in the last few weeks-get the crowd involved please.

Interesting scenario isn't it. I agree with what you are saying, but with what has happened over the last 3 weeks This club really needs a win to put some spirit into the Joint. West Coke beating Hawthorn last week certainly gives us Breathing space to still snare 1& 2 at years end. Play Jack Watts in the Backline so he is the Hunter rather than the Hunted for a few weeks-so as to learn the Tempo of the Game.

No i believe we still have a lot of "quiet" supporters out there, but we shall only see them with sustained success. Humans like Winners & our fall from grace over the past 50 years is quite unique sadly. We will return

West Coke do not want another win in 2009. Their Tanking is even Longer than Carlton which was executed for 11 weeks. Straight after their thrashing of Port Adelaide in Round 11 2007. We must lose to them in order to win.

I can still not see how The Melbourne Football Club will Benefit from this Venture-Your answers are the same spin the AFL tells me. The Sydney Franchises will both be economic Basket Cases Long after i am dead. How is that a benefit. The Last Round of Broadcast Right were $780 Mill & 5 clubs are still on Drip feed-The whole thing is Bull sh#$%^&t

Totally Agree. Is Bailey getting the best out of these players?? Half time worries me, Why are we so Bad in the 3rd Q? There has to be a reason......

I would like to know how Ploughing Millions of $$$ into a Club Franchise that is Doomed to fail is a Benefit to the Melbourne Football Club, which at the Moment is in Debt?? How do we benefit.....

HaHa Little Alex I like that one...& i think you are right!!
