The Backyard Charizard

Still has a long way to go, but a very encouraging performance today! His effectiveness by foot was impressive.....

Has been dominating in the last few weeks for the Saints..... From memory, he had 11 touches in the first quarter last week (in stellar form) Thinking there may be a mit more to this story....?.....?.....

MELBOURNE Backs Ben Holland Nathan Carroll Ryan Ferguson Half backs Daniel Bell Brad Miller James Frawley Centreline Brad Green James McDonald Paul Wheatley Half forwards Nathan Brown Russell Robertson Simon Godfrey Forwards Bryon Pickett David Neitz Matthew Bate Followers Jeff White Brock McLean Nathan Jones Interchange Aaron Davey Brent Moloney Michael Newton Daniel Ward Emergencies Jace Bode Simon Buckley Mark Jamar Hmmmm...... Interesting alright.......

Valenti will definately get a run this weekend.... Purely due to the fact of the amount of stoppages there will be.... Would love to see Whelan, but will wait and see...

Not a hope in hell that Port will offload Robbie Gray..... If anything, I would be more interested in throwing another player into the deal with Bell and trying to lure someone like Danyle Pearce!!! Not in the good books down at Port at the moment.... Been told to pull his finger out of his ar$e.... Maybe Bailey could do something with him, seeing as since DB left Port they have got nothing out of him.... But, I'm sure DB has his views on who he would be after.... (Not saying we should trade Bell, just using him as an example)

OP?!?!?!?! Please tell me you are not talking about the club building a small city to house all the players on our list with this horrible injury?!?!?! This is disastrous news!

I'm sure David Rhodan is a fine example of giving a bloke an opportunity after dodgy knees!

I remember a guy by the name of Robbie Flower who was also quite skinny! Maybe he should've been an umpire as well?!?!?! Oh no, that's right..... He ended up being one of the greatest players to ever pull on a Melbourne guernsey.... At least Cale has one thing going for him over Robbie.... He doesn't need glasses yet!

Abdominals?!?!?! HaHa!!!! Was clearly discussed on Adelaide radio on Monday that he is struggling with groin soreness.... Unfortunately, I think we may have seen the best of Jared at Melbourne.... I think the River's run dry! Trade bait..... Don't care what people say, but Rhino is correct! If you can't play more than 10 games a year then you are not a required player (injuries or no inuries)

Will take a lot more than a statement about a VFL rezzies match to get me excited about Juice again!! I personally think the kid has mental issues, but time will tell....

Totally agree! I would say at the moment it is 50/50 that the our club may not be in Melbourne by 2015 That is why it is up to everyone involved to rally around the club and prove to all the knockers that we will be Melbourne forever!! This information has been blatently obvious for years and it is only now in our darkest hour that people are finally taking notice!

OMG! Now that is an image I would rather have not had in my mind! You sick, sick human

At the moment Jim Stynes is like a pregnant woman..... Unlike most pregnancies, Jim is having a football club (not a baby).... The football club is still very early in the development process.... At the end of this season we will be through our first trimester.... The embryo will slowly start to take the form of a fetus.... This early in the developement the heartbeat is really faint but is beating around 140bpm!! It's a great sign, things are going well..... But we need to get through this crucial stage before we get too excited.... PS... Jim has chosen to announce to the world that he is pregnant with a new football club.... Let our gifts for the baby be shitloads of memberships! :D

That is one of the most heartening articles I have read about the Melbourne Football Club in a long time! I am damn sure we are in for some exciting times over the next 12-24 months.... Good luck to all involved and may you bring our mighty club back from the depths to once again be a force to be reckoned with! :D :D :D

Pure gold!!! Rule 14.2 section 9a clearly states : Didak is a retard!

mmmmm...... Jen Hawkins..... Much better topic than "Cloke's ButtHead"

Good theory, but will never happen! No games such as the following : Collingwood v Carlton Collingwood v Melbourne Collingwood v Richmond Essendon v Carlton Essendon v Melbourne Essendon v Richmond Essendon v Hawthorn Andrew D and his boys would rather sit in a circle and play soggy sao than let this happen!! Good idea though

July 5th..... Casey Fields..... WA v TASSIE National U18's comp.... Nick Nat will be playing at his future training venue.... I expect the MFC will be at least buying the kid a Schnitzel with gravy, and having a chat!?!?!?! Watched him on Sunday in the curtain raiser for the Port/Carlton match.... The SA boys targetted him something fierce in the first quarter! But to Nick's credit, he withstood all the hard bodies and played a really good match.... Get down to Casey and watch Naita, Hurley and the other lad Yarran.... Well worth the trip!

This is exactly what I was about to write!

The only reason I am going is..... U18's Curtain Raiser..... SA v WA Nick Nat and Daniel Rich..... Will let you all know what I think.... Also will most likely leave straight after it finishes!

Who will he be playing for then?!?!?!?!

Living in Adelaide.... Listening to MMM broadcast and live updates on AFL Gameday.... If this is a sign of things to come from the Melbourne Football Club, then bring it on!!!! Melbourne have taken it right up to the in form side of the competition! Up by 9 points at half time.... Some positives * Hard, contested football * Tackling is great * Putting plenty of pressure on the opposition * Backline working really well together (Garland, Warnock, Frawley, Bell all doing a great job) * Brock McLean has 20 touches to half time, 7 contested and 14 effective kicks * Bate is having a ripper and looks really good * Jamar is using his body well in the contests * Miller is presenting well up the ground and taking strong contested grabs Still a long way to go in the game and also in the rebuilding of our club, but the signs are great on todays effort!

White has a bit of a sore back.... Pulled up sore this morning, was put thru a fitness test and they have decided to err on the side of caution! Looks like Jordan Lewis may be out for the Hacks..... Morton to come in....

Jeff, you were a [censored] back awhile and you are still a [censored] today! The funny thing out of all this though.... Melbourne will beat Hawthorn this weekend! HaHa! We were already fired up for our retiring skipper and you go and tell the oldest football club in the world to relocate?!?!?! You are a mad [censored]! Dees by 12 points!

Did someone forget to switch their brain on this morning?!?!?!
