Personally I just hope he's a paid up member, non event

Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, If GWS were to finish below us?? And as they claim (although I have'nt heard it from them) they would like to force us to use our first pick on Viney what happens if we say take him? I would invision they might not be to pleased to use the No 1 pick on him so... if we call their bluff and they poop and renege what happens? I'm curious how it all works because from my limited understanding Jack has a contract with us at the moment however isn't drafted so where does it all fit in? Or is it just a good faith deal he is on?

Eddies going to say what Eddie says he is angry at the world because Pendles announced to the club that he will not be at the club in 2013, so let hime have his rant the football world will scoff and all will be well...Not saying Pendles is going to GWS either but quote me he is gone and they know it already.

Meh! Do we really care anymore, we are crap we have gone backwards at will continue to do so under Bailey, however lets not forget how insipid the players look to no heart no drive, I would expect an all in in any league of football the way Chapman treated Dunn, but what do we get everyone stands back and does'nt get involved something is really rotten down Melbourne way...Nobody should feel safe come trade week after this display nobody.

As much as it pains me to say it but we have a snowflakes chance this week, even with a full team I would have my doubts but with half a team? So if you want any joy Friday night at least make a bit of coin it's hard to bet against my beloved team but it is also reality...side note made $600 last week while watching us get flogged, trust me doesn't hurt as much if you can make some money out of our misery.

What I love most about this article is the comments at the bottom... You can just about hear the fear of opposition supporters in their petty little comments. We have succeeded in people already having a opinion about our great club something that nobody would have done 2 years ago, they see where we are headed and are trying to attack us already after 1 improved season it's going to be a great time to be a Melbourne Demons supporter over the next decade.

Were you watching the same game as I today? I'd say minimum wage. I have waited and I have watched, it's like a giraffe learning to walk he can not walk or keep his feet he really has no idea what to do out there in the big league if we want to develop him keep him in the magoos,I'm afraid he is the next Tom Hawkins.. dominated at junior level but lost when it counts... I hope not but at he moment computer says no..

I actually have had this position since b4 the season even started, and it was actually brought to my attention by my father as I was too excited about the season proper to think about it, this is why I have held off to midseason to say anything but have being watching closely since round one as I thought our forward line would be our Achilles heal. I agree with a consultative basis coach but who I wouldn't know where to start club legend would be a good place to start one would believe.

Where? where did I ever stat a gun player would make a gun coach? A forward line is not about kicking massive points every week its about being functional and not running around lost at a coaches direction but real football supporters would understand this, unfortunately the majority of posters in here don't seem to really understand football I have no doubt of your love for the club but you are most likely part of the special people who scream KICK IT LONG even if there is no option. And look thats cool whatever floats your boat but through my readings of the past 5 years on this site there are very few people who actually understand football maybe 30 or so, I know my spelling and grammar is terrible however I play football and understand it better then most 20 years of it will do that to you, I appreciate all your uni degrees telling me my writing is awful but I'm here to talk about footy not do a English exam, if I could put a covenant on people replying to my post I would however I will sift through the [censored] posted and take what I need from the people who truly understand this great game we all love. Oh and b4 you all get sooky I know we all love the Melbourne Football Club.

yeah it would hurt, however how many players will line up this week feeling one hundred percent? Sometimes you have to just get out there and play. This is still a hard game played by hard men a little discomfort never hurt anybody. I broke my leg in round 1 last year and was playing by round 17 it hurt like a MF but sometimes you have to do it to believe you can. For what its worth I'm flying this year because I have the confidence in it from last years last few games.

I'm stiil wondering on Bailey to be honest however I believe I can see something there, I understand Josh has had a mixed bag to work with since round 1 however I don't believe the line has functioned as well as it could have, and in due part like it or not the blame will go back up the ladder to the man calling the shots. By no means am I having a shot at Watts he is still a baby trying on mens clothes I am happy to show patience with a young man of his ilk. I don't know much of this inner sanctum of which we all talk about, but I do know results and whats in front of me ain't pretty atm the cattle is there in different guises it's how you round the cattle up and make them do what you want counts alot in this game.

I believe Dunn should be back where he started his career he has the size, strength and footy smarts to play deep now Barts and Junior are our preferred taggers Jarrah back there would be nice and Watts.. well see me in 12 months Green Jetta Wonna Benny Bate ATM will suffice but a forward coach is needed for all of them

Bruce only does this as he has weak hamstrings hence why he has little penetration on his kicks too. He is running around doing his bit but to scared to push to hard.

Josh Mahoney... There it is folks no need to question or argue he really was a dud of a footballer with no forward sense, and now we expect him to mold these young kids into something special? They may well become elite but that will be through natural progression, Mahoney will stay around at years end I suspect because of the Port Adelaide connection however I have my doubts if it will be in the current role he fills (god I hope not) to blame the players for the forward line being non existent is short sighted they can only do what they are instructed to do, lets not forget they are footballers not rocket scientists, they run where they are told to if the coach says jump they say how high? Mahoneys resume is far from impressive let alone one that should get you a gig as a forward line coach, now I'll be honest and don't know what other options are out there waving their hand say pick me but I am sure there is better options. A forward coach needs to be able to instruct his players to play in front,be strong in contests,punch if behind,forward pressure,front and center at crumbing opportunities,run to space etc etc.. all of these skills Josh did not have during his playing days nor does he have it now. They saw those who cannot do teach, well in this example it is true however not when you have nothing to teach. Sorry Josh you seem like a great bloke in meetings I've had with you, however we want the ultimate prize and I believe you will/should not be part of it.. PROVE ME WRONG
