I reckon in about 2 years we'll look back and think . The Dees were geniuses. Edit..I already do. Well done

A few changed tunes along the way. That's fine. Jesse's happy enough.. I'm happy enough. All good

He's knows jack.....( and not any player )

That was NEVER happening. You see that now ? He was ALWAYS going... In some respects he'd been gone for a while. Such is life. We'll ( MFC) be fine.

This isn't hard. Josh had a job to do. It had prescribed parameters, desired outcomes and a playing field with changing topopraphies and goal posts. He kicked goals. We did ok.

There's a sea out there. It's a mass of perceptions , of interpretation , of half descriptions. Careful where you fish .

The only angst anyone will have is of their own creation. The positive is we are Melbourne. ... And everyone else isn't. Am looking forward to seeing our noobs in red and blue. What others do ... . isn't us.

There's a very apt expression for all of this perhaps... That was then, this is now. What is ... is Can't wait to beat Fremantle again....but simply because they are just another team....and I prefer winning. This bloke that's gone ..just one of hundreds we play against. Go Dees

Boo hoo

I get that ..but May fills a void.. Preuss is a backup icing on the cake. We would still play ok without Preuss... We're back to so-so down back without May.

Not necessarily

Noice

and we can all celebrate cinco de mayo with endless tacos and burritos washed down with buckets of margaritas !! actually am not fussed what number he gets.... I can always have Mexican

He's moved on to the next chapter. I'm sure he'd always be welcome as a friend of Melbourne, if nothing else. We have our lives to live as he has his.

2nd No idea who on top...or below...but think we'll be second ( or top ) . Don't want to get ahead of myself

It helps pay the bills... Sponsors like it

All things aside I am very interested to see how we are treated this year. We've shown we can get bums on seats. I understand our televised matches rate ok. We play a very entertaining style of footy. We would have to be among a handful of teams favourite for the flag. If this doesn't garner some respect come scheduling I don't know when.

F.....d if I know

Dees v Coll end 1 2.10 start Let's get footy back to its roots

The club ISNT going with 3 talls in 19... therefore we aren't looking for one. The expectations are the forward 'group' will kick goals among them. We'll only be looking to develop other forwards should either Tmac or Weed goes down.

Alrighty...trade out of the way. Just the draft...and that's not as big for us now So what do we know about our fixture next year. Who do we destroy first for example Other than pretty well certs of Tigers Anzac Eve..Pies QB mon.. and some likely September games...have we heard or know much ?

It's a bit like the Smokey hiding in plain sight

There's an aspect to this which I'm not sure if already mentioned. Leadership. We just poached a Captain. Someone with real leadership ability. We bemoan the lack of leadership at times...well.. here's some.

I've not noticed Pig take any backward steps either. We might scare a few teams with our list. Another summer in the gym... Won't be too many boys out on the paddock
