The Backyard Charizard

Some comparisons (I know they are a class above and a lot more experienced, but it is interesting reading) Disposals Cats (397) #1 Melb (348) #10 Long Kicks Cats (72) #5 Melb (56) #16 Cont. Marks Cats (8.7) #4 Melb (6.3) #15 Handballs Cats (189) #1 Melb (155) #7 Tackles Cats (66.4) #8 Melb (67.1) #7 Clearances Cats (32.5) #6 Melb (29.5) #15 Inside 50 Cats (59) #1 Melb (42) #16 Cont. Poss. Cats (45) #1 Melb (34) #15 1%'ers Cats (88) #1 Melb (84) #5 * Contested possessions are a far more important stat than clearances! * This leads to more disposals due to more possession time * We are ahead in tackles due to the fact that we are quite often 2nd to the ball/chasing tail Just goes to show what a solid, experienced and tenacious side can achieve without totally dominating the clearances! Hit the gym dees..... You boys are young and fit and should have no problems ending up looking like the ripped cats!

Normally I don't run with rumours, but this one will happen.....

missed it by that much LOL

Check this thread Report on Melbourne players in VFL

I will say 2064 Because anytime I have predicted it to be within 3 years it has never happened! God I hope I'm wrong!

Still think he is a bit of a tool, but good article at least..... Not a big fan of journalists who support a particular team.... They tend to be a bit 'scared' with what they write, fearing a backlash for being too one-eyed or even too scathing of their own.... But I do respect him as a footy lover and I believe he has hit the nail on the head..... But of course, we all knew this well before he wrote it!

Miller - Captain Brock McLean - Vice Captain Green Sylvia McDonald That is all.....

If fit for a few years..... Sylvia will be the next Mark Riccuitto but with a better leap! Mark my words.... That is exactly who he reminds me of....

I would clone Dean Bailey!!! Would get us where we want to be twice as quick that way!!!

This just goes to show how good our win was on Sunday! Great effort by the boys with so much leadership out of the side

I actually believe Brad Green would be the favourite at this stage..... Has had a ripper season and is celebrating our wins with pure joy (which is great due to the fact some ppl are hoping we don't win too many) But Brad Miller is an option! His leadership has green beat.... I mean been great..... (oops ) and his overall physicality are saying to me that it is not out of the question..... Plus he has the tick from DB already (DB loves him) Just thought I would throw it out there..... That and the fact that it was one of the wierdest dreams of my life!

Gawwwwwnnnn!!!!

I woke up at early hours of this morning from the strangest dream..... After a strong finish to 2008 (albeit only 4 wins) and a strong pre-season (no visions of draft picks ).... Dean Bailey called a press conference! In the press conference (which was strangely hosted by Andrew O'Keefe from Deal or No Deal) our coach was sitting with Brad Miller..... Dean proceeded to tell the football world that Brad would be the new captain of the Melbourne Football Club.... I know this was only a dream, but apart from Mr O'Keefe, this seemed so real.....

I believe that DB knows exactly where he would like us to be at the end of the season..... That is the main thing as far as I am concerned....

Wrote this in the PJ thread after Sunday's game.... I am pretty sure that DemonLand is hot property at the moment..... We should list on the ASX

Ox also told me once when he was [censored] at Crown, that Travis Johnstone would win a brownlow at Melbourne......

Let's hope we don't read about it in the papers tomorrow

Just not quite as smart!

I will be honest and say that on today's performance, I think Jeff White may struggle to come back into the side straight away! It is great to have pressure to hold your position.... That is what makes a strong football club!

To anyone who wishes to purely celebrate our thrilling win, I have started a new thread..... This one has pi$$ed me off to much!

I thought one of the more positive things to come out of today's win (damn that feels good to say win) was CJ's game! He may have finally turned the corner..... I remember from speaking to his old man a few seasons back, that he is very much a confidence player and he was worried he wouldn't be good enough to play AFL..... Hopefully he has turned the corner....

I thought he played a really important role today..... His leadership qualities are starting to shine through....

I am starting a new thread to discuss the joy of winning a thriller against a Top 8 side..... Bloody hell I am proud of the boys out there today!

If this wasn't a forum that children use, I would be using some seriously rude words right about now! "We won't be saved"????? But you are expecting Natanui to do it for us???? I seriously hope you have not bred others with the same attitude!!! And by the way..... Try changing your favourite players list..... Johnstone doesn't play for us anymore! Tool of the Week award by a mile!!

I don't care who you are..... You are a moron!!!! 1,000+ posts or not..... You are the sort of person that I would pint glass over the head in a bar!!!! You play football to win! My god! It is our 2nd win of the season! At least let us passionate supporters enjoy it before you start talking about how we should've tanked it!! Have a look at the joy on the player's faces after the game! You are the true meaning of the word MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry:
