No way. I'd take Montagna as an assistant who was doing match analysis for him. Both Clarkson and Dimma almost lost their jobs and they have gone on to be the dominant coaches of the decade. Let's stick by Goody

G Lyon goals 4 2 6 We are cursed!

I've seen Jack Viney say he can't keep up with the way Oliver trains. As a football club who hasn't won a premiership since 1964, we have lots of problems. Oliver isn't one of them.

1) Tingay 2) Stynes 3) Jeff Farmer 4) Theox 5) Alan Johnson

There are two champions of the club that have worn number 9. Both have been picked in this thread a few times.

Mitch Morton played 1 brilliant game in his afl career. Just happened to be on grand final day. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Trengove also played like Clarry in his first year. I’d love to see his draft camp numbers over 20m sprints. He seemed to lose all his power and pace after injury.

I was about to write something. Similar he can run all day but he’s not a great kick.

I agree with almost all you are saying but interested in your opinion. I work for a company with over 800 employees in Australia. There is no psychologist on staff. i played footy from Vic Kick (now Aus kick) through to the amateurs which was about 15 years of playing. It is good excersise and you build great lifelong friendships. I’m not belittling mental health or metal health issues. But why do AFL footy clubs need psychologists? Most organisations don’t have them or require them.

I’m more sceptical about his sons brownlow.

I think climate change might have cost us dearly as well.

I think there has been only 1 Héritier Lumumba

I wish he could come back now and end this curse.

Jeff White was cruelled by the change of ruck rules when they made you stay within the circle. Without his run up he was never the same. Woey for me. His Brownlow year is underrated. Laser left foot and just kept getting the footy. Couldn’t handle a tag though.

When HB told me at the family day he could be playing by round 3 he wasn’t wrong.

I remember hearing a story years ago. Don’t know if it’s true or not but the Fidge brothers were going to a fancy dress party. Dressed up as Batman and Robin. Stopped at a drive through bottleshop on the way and ended up in a punch on with another group of blokes in the drive through dressed as Batman and Robin.

I’m predicting this will be over in 4 2 6 weeks.

I am the most positive dees supporter. I just worry the AFL will send it to a chook raffle and dees win by default.

We are supposed to take the gate receipts for the Queens Birthday and Anzac Eve games. its our year on both. Surely in good faith the Pies and Tigers give us the following year?

I’ve spent the last 40 years desperately hoping we might get that elusive premiership. Every instinct in me as a sportsman and competitor wants Melbourne to win at all costs but as a supporter i’m worried we will win. I don’t want our first premiership in nearly 70 years having an * next to it. Do we even want to win it this year?

Balllllllllllll said no crowd. Watch the umpiring come back to neutral. We’ll smash West Coast.

If I knew how to use the search function properly i’d quote myself over and over from last season saying we never used to switch. Kick out from full back to a side, then take it up that same wing, then kick to that same forward flank. The only reason we won inside 50’s was because every time the ball was in dispute we had hard competitive mids who just got it forward. Now we have two proper wingman so we can switch any time knowing we are safe out wide on the other side. Chaos football only works if you are unpredictable. We’re now.

It doesn’t matter if Weid is in the ruck or forward he was drafted to take marks. I was told a few years back by Macca that he is the biggest asset on our list because he can take marks at the peak of his leap with height and outstretched arms so could break opposition zones. Problem is he can’t take a mark. He no longer has the excuse of being out muscled. He has been on the list long enough and spent more than enough time in the gym to build the required strength. I hate bagging Melbourne players but the kid is Brent Grgic number 2. All false reputation no AFL ability.

Petty.

Would you even play him in the VFL? It’s like having Ablett on your list. Most talented player we have got. Oliver, Petraccaand Gawn are not in the same league.
