Sir Why You Little

McLean was disgraceful. The difference between his best and his worst this year have been unbelievable. He better have a super pre season, he owes the club big time.

I agree with that, if Mclean is injured he should not be playing. And people talk of him as captain...(i did early in the year but i was wrong)

If he is playing injured he is being selfish as he is not helping the team.

Cross roads beckon....

You like losing because you feel there is something to be gained. I love winning because I love the red and blue. If I suspect someone has purposefully lost just to gain an extra draft pick, why would I respect them.

It sucks. Sitting their watching the crap against Richmond followed up by the game against North - that would have had to be the worst moment as a Demon supporter.

I dare you to disagree or any loyal supporter to disagree. Made me sick.

I don't like losing Either, But if we can get some class recruits in the centre from this years Draft, it will mean we will win important games rather than just "dead Rubbers"

Bailey is in his 3rd year next year. He will go all out for results, don't you worry.

3 years of crap is coming to an end. Next year it is "Pedal to the metal"

Put him on the Bench Bails next week.

Rest him in the goal square

150.....do it!

He is a muppit - has no club loyalty, is so desperate to hang onto his job, he'd rather player players out of position than win.

Tell me what stunning tacticts has he shown in his two years at the club?

His famous game plan is still that, a pie in the sky.

Me don't need to embarrass myself when I can leave that to the coach.

Obviously the Agent Orange is affecting your thoughts.

You have obviously never built anything up from scratch have you, & possess no patience.

Bailey showing no club loyalty?? Give me a break.

Talk to me in 12 Months after we make Position 8 at seasons end.

2 years ago this club was a complete mess. It takes time to rebuild if it is to be done right.

Picks 1 & 2 await within 8 days.

Watts will get a full Pre season

see ya next year Muppet.

The Wrecker sure was cursed, but a true demon.

Should have played closer to 300 games, but he wasn't allowed as his body let him down with bad luck.

I Hope Matty always stays connected to the club, a great mentor he would be, particularly for our future indigenous recruits.

Love Your Work Matty 45 Whelan....

When Melbourne are on the Rise and Seriously Challenging. Matty Bate will be a gun.

Imagine what he would do with accurate Bullet Passes, don't judge him on our current midfield delivery.

Matty Bate could be somewhere near Steve Johnson playing with a class midfield.

He works so hard.

The cats in their last 8:

4 losses

1 win over Melbourne

3 wins by 8 points combined.

Cats have Run out of juice...

The Greatest Team ever to win one Flag in a row!

RR - What's a 'BEX'??

A chill pill or headache tablet to reduce fever. Rest up.

HaHa "Bex is Better"

Fantastic Speech Robbo. Those new guys at the club will keep those words & remember them.

All Class...

What was wrong with the music?

Changes peoples emotions without even knowing it. i have made films, music can do so much even at low levels.

should have been a clean slate.

This is not sitting well with me.

I have said all year that junior is not up to the modern pace of the game, next year it all goes up another notch.

Robbo meanwhile shown the door????

I hope the Club has made the right decision.

I love JMac but there does come a time

2010...here we come

Pity ch 9 put that bloody music under the speech though. Should have been clean.

But Good words champ. Life long Friends....

Thanks Robbo, we'll miss you!

You're right Jaded, round 22 is going to be very tough!

There will be a Big Crowd i am Tipping for round 22

Robbo was Special, although reading a lot of threads on here for the past month you wouldn't know it.

Funny how those people today have gone "underground" & all silent.

How many Midfielders do those Parasites want???? Uck i Hate those Carlton Pricks....Grrr

Lousy Stinking CHEATS...

Dunno if anyone else has said this one but this one is awesome, love the second grab while "laying" in the air.

What a pearler Mark!

I hope someone has got the time to do a youtube compilation for us here as We may need a Robbo Fix from time to time.

Nice interview with Robbo and Neil Mitchell.

Listening to this interview right now...Got a tear in my eye.

Robbo you played footy for the right reasons mate.

Love ya man 24

2013 would be the absolute earliest imo, but more likley our window will be 2014-2018.

Geelong won the 2008 flag on the back of draft years 1999-2001; Brisbane assembled their dynasty of 2001-04 from '93 onwards; and if the Saints win it this year it will be because of the 2000-2002 drafts.

West Coast won in 06 - Judd's 5th year and Hawthorn were an abberation.

When Melbourne win a flag it will be on the back of the 2007-09 drafts.

I expect 7-9 victories next year; Finals in 2011/12; a prelim/GF in 2013; and a flag/s in the 2014-18 window.

With the advent of the 2 new sides in the next 2 years things may change a little with that timeline. As in we have 2 unknown opponents to contend with.

With good Drafting this year, i would hope we would have a crack at eighth spot next year.

After next year its too hard to predict (Jurrah is going to kick 12-13 one day i can feel it) We have so much potential in the wings..

my favorite

The memories flood back with that one! Awesome game.

"ROBBO"

Thanks Robbo my Dad & i will miss your Speckies from the members stand.

I remember a game against the swans in 2002-you got us home in the last quarter & went right off ya nana when te winning goal went through.

Great career-be proud.

Plugger called to say hi...

Plugger was totally brilliant but he didn't play enough september for mine. Dunstall & Ablett Snr were there regularly.

K.B. is the best. Besides, he has a "hot" daughter!

Really, have never seen his daughter!! His call of our Richmond game a couple of weeks ago was a total classic!!

He realized "list Management" was a real thing...Before his eyes it unfolded.

Seeing as this thread has become nostalgic

Watch this & Crank up the Audio...

Bloody Classic!!

Talking of Commentators...QuarterBrain deserves an apology from Dunstall after he threw food all over him on air concerning Croads injury.....

C'mon Bung hole we are all waiting....

Agree with that. But there interstate calls with WA and SA commentators is just woeful and one eyed. Worse than when 3GL only did Geelong games.

Now that was Hard Listening!!! 3GL Geelong versus umm err someone else!!!

Agree with that. But there interstate calls with WA and SA commentators is just woeful and one eyed. Worse than when 3GL only did Geelong games.

Melbourne always used to get 3UZ with Don Hyde and 3DB where the races interrupted the coverge particularly in the last quarter when they playted the last race from everywhere in Australia!

Never liked Harry Beitzel's arrogance at 3AW. Got his come uppance selling dodgy investment schemes that he did not understand to lotto winners.

Preferred the Captain and Major on 3KZ.

VFA with Phil Gibbs, Craig Kelly when you had Frosty Miller, Eddie Melai and Lyle Hendricksen at Shepley oval. Dandenong were almost Melbourne on a Sunday!

Just saw your earlier post WYL on 3UZ.

VFA on the B & W Telly or i would ride my bike down to sandy, get in for free & learn the History of "Can Hill"

Wonderfull Childhood days.
