JACKATTACK

Have to agree, Melbourne supporters already seem to over-represent in the online media compared to membership and supporter numbers, things like this will strengthn us more. I also like the fact they let the media interview Bailey during the game, and players at quarter time and so on. The club seems to be making a concerted effort to make the club open to supporters to enjoy and feel part of. Good on you Burgo, Schwabby and Jimma for pushing this.

Well you certainly put yourself out there. I don't agree with you but I admire the confidence.

He doesn't have a heap of time left. If his Casey form doesn't improve to the point that he is at least knocking on the door for AFL selection then he might fall below the yellow line when it comes to delisting players a the end of the year. I'm not sure on the status of his contract. Here is a generous list of players that don't hold the immunity idol (regular VFL players). Cotnract situation aside. Maric Bell PJ Dunn Bartram Miller McNamara Martin Cheney Given that at least 3 probably 4 of these will probably be moved on (gotta find a spot for McKenzie), it is hard to find a spot for Maric on current form.

He gave us a B.

Dunn is like my tomato plant. Never quite producing tomatoes, never quite dead, it just occupies space in my backyard.

How was their form?

If I had my way i'd have: Jones on Judd Bennel on Gibbs (in as much as a forward should be "on" a defender) Scully on Murphy, murphy has an amazing ability to get to space and Scully is one of only a few players who have the legs to defend that, and then attack off him when the opportunity arises. Of course it is never as simple as that, but that is a good start. McLean could be dangerous, and I wonder how much his knowledge of Jamar's tapwork will benefit him.

Just a bit of fun Rhino. As if you're going to put anyone "on" McLean.

Or McLean on Gysberts.

Cue a bunch of posts saying that we should stop talking about Brock because he is in the past and no-one cares about it anymore. Put Gysberts on him.

If he is serious about it he will need to, Hunt did it the wrong way IMHO.

Sidney Crosbey. The Kid can do anything.

The whole folau/Hunt thing will do exactly what the AFL wants, it will put these clubs in the paper. Which is no doubt what they need the most. But overall the whole thing just doesn't feel right. Call me a traditionalist but I just don't like that our game has moved in to these markets by buying up their favourite sons. If I were a potential fan I would much rather them build a team the right way, draft well and win fans by winning games. Plus I don't think either will be more than a gimmick and bit players.

Gotta love Deeman's pick, Barlow @ 50.

If he does leave, what compensation will we get? He was a late pick and given his inability to get on the park hasn't featured in our B&Fs. So pretty much nothing?

Seems like the forgotten man at times, he just goes about his business and plays good to great football every week. GOtta love his passion.

He destoryed us last year. But those performaces are few and far between. If he was delisted and only required a PSD pick, then i'd be 50/50. But he'll go before that to a club more desperate than us in the ruck stocks, of which there are many.

same applies to ablett, selwood and bartel.

Nope, girl is at least 16, so it isn't.

Charming I prefer to take the opposite view here, more kids, more often, so long as the girl has the right genetics.

According to Google Victoria's age of consent is 16. So a 96 year old can legally sleep with a 16 year old. It is a defense if the partner is 10 or older and you believed they were 16. OR You were within 2 years of the age of the partner. So there are no legal issues in this case (unless she is unusually young for a VCE student). I'm with the poster who said this is no-one's business. (Edit: Arthur Dent).

Both are legal aren't they? So long as the girl is 16, and it is consensual I don't think they will be in trouble with the law.

I just hope the media leaves the girl alone. The last thing this girl needs is the footy media dragging this out.

Their total score. I would like our defense to stand up well, I won't lose any sleep if we aren't able to score well against them because our forward line is mostly injured, but I rate our backline and expect them to hold their own against a good team.

That is a significant difference. But I don't think the result will be determined by dimensions. This is a pressure free game in my eyes, I am expecting a big loss so if we get close I'll be happy. If we can restrict them to less than 100 points that would be a win in my eyes.
