we're not going to recognise the place soon !!!

I think thats still true. I dont think its the only one. Most are ( AFL )

actually...we just need a dozen blokes who CAN play a decent bloody game of a good brand of footy !! welcome H need 11 more now

Funny ...even Roosey referred to him as Harry !!

Panos Height: 191cm Weight: 90kg Another current AFL mid ..can play apparently Height: 1.91 m, Weight: 91 kg just saying We need a stack of mids btw !! Hes not an answer......might be a cog in a solution though . Who knows.. Apparently MFC has had a look ..

I do....... now...

can any SPOT the problem with this post ?

we're just not used to other club's players saying those words " I want to play for Melbourne".. Bit early for Halloween really

hes 6-2 in the old language.... ( just like me shucks ) was a fwd...now a mid....Still learning the craft but hey.. He played very well this year... Knows how to tackle too apparently

Old Dog Panos hopes to be new pick A big bodied mid......just the thing Roos likes . Knows where the sticks are also.,.. a handy thing "AFL.com.au understands premiers Hawthorn as well as the Sydney Swans, Collingwood, the Brisbane Lions and Melbourne have shown interest." and he knows what a Premiership in Red and Blue is like.....novel !! A little left field perhaps. Knows what is needed to be done at AFL level Cross would know more. Interesting

Patrick Dangerfield unlikely to leave Crows, says managerSo does that ring by the same bell as a Club stating is is fully behind the Coach ....just as they un-scabbard the sharp thing ??

that would be Watts' fault

I dont see it as an either/or thing. If we can get players....all over the field to improve our list...well you do. Its a no brainer.

We need to be better.........everywhere.. We need to bolster all parts of the ground. How many times have we loaded up our hopes/needs into a particular player/fwd only to see it dematerialise overnight. If the opportunity was there to snag Cameron...why wouldnt you.

Id agree . Obviously the priority is to beef and build up the midfield but we arent consolidated anywhere on the pitch really. A relatively cheap Harry off the hb does actually provide for some run and carry in the midfield also Id have thought.. A bonus , not the goal , so to speak.

I suppose the reality is a lot of the selection process is undertaken by the recruitment people. A coach will add weight and such but its not altogether the coach's domain. They do look a bit like a rudderless ship currently.

who's this Will Garland ?

Funny how the worm turns. Strange how things are seldom as they appear. It doesnt seem all that long ago we heralded a new dawn as to our stocks with the arrival of a strapping lad called Chip. Soon however the jury retired to reconsider its verdict and time after time doubts were cast as to his true voracity. These lingering niggles seemed cast to the 4 winds upon his accolade as AA. Still not all were convinced. Chip was however described by many as one of the pillars of our new destiny ( well they got that bit right ) Fast forward a little and news creeps through of a daring and stealthy coup by the Dees. We've snagged a gun. Mitch is all ours after a later than 11th hour raid and seeing off those nasty Fockers, i mean Dockers. All hail Mitch, long live the Mitch. Unlike Spud there were never any doubts as to the potency of this guy on the field. Getting him there and keeping him on it were it seems to prove an entirely different thing. Here was someone , we thought, who epitomised everything we wanted in the New Melbourne. I dont think there was anyone who would have thought Clark anything other than a godsend and then the skies turned dark, first apparently for Mitch but it was soon to spread and cover the club in a pall. Oh no, the Mitch is black !! 2014, season's end, and we now sit at the peculiar junction of roads whereby 2 players we thought to be budding stalwarts of the club, players who would lead us out of the darkness are indeed nought but agents of pestilence themselves. Talk about backing the wrong horses. How ironic it seems to this observer that where once it was considered good for our fortunes that we had these players on our list that its now considered the heralding of a new era in disposing of them. On field we are often less than glorious but off it we are seldom dull. I have real and true faith in what the Likes of Jackson, Taylor, Viney and Roos are setting about doing. As to ultimate success that can only be up to those whom this panel choose. If they bloom as hoped then we may well smell the favoured fragrance of success. If they wilt , so might all who follow the club resulting in an apocalyptic dust bowl. Barren, devoid of any meaningful life. To expand the gardening analogy in order to provide a healthy environment to foster good growth you need to tend your lot, ridding it of deadwood and digging out the weeds. Its time to sow the seeds of our next marvelous era.

Less ships sunk with fewer lips apart

nor would one

Possibly Volvo Compact ???

cant be news to them surely !!!

ya bigger than that....c'mon ( even if more svelte)

it will all come down to Roos If he can convey the same belief to Danger that PJ obviously conveyed to him then who knows

sveldt might be realtive but svelte , quite specific....THIN !! ( in a graceful elegant manner )
