  1. Richmond, Essendon, Carlton and Melbourne will make up the bottom 4 and Carlton have lost to 2 of those sides already. Melbourne on the other hand have lost to the teams currently sitting 1st, 2nd and 3rd in consecutive weeks. In fairness we wouldn't have beaten any teams in weeks 1 and 2 with those insipid efforts but based on yesterdays efforts I think we are good enough to beat the 3 aforementioned teams. 3 - 6 wins for all 4 of those mobs for mine. How results between the 4 of them go will determine final positions.
  2. Davey's second half was much better, he is just playing himself into form as are several others. He will be better for 4 quarters this week.
  3. I don't wish to add credibility to unsubstantiated rumours and my post and opinoun will not be capable of doing so. I am all for DBs seemingly hard line approach, the culture at the club needs a massive overhaul and he is doing it the best way he knows how with assistance and guidance from Gardener, Connolly and shortly a new CEO. However I wish to bring up the very real concern that this club may not see out 2 years of thrashings and emabarrassment to finally relish in DBs renewed culture and game plan with the club in its current form. I am not sure what the answer is but don't be fooled into the thinking that short term pain in the form of 100 point losses wil bring long term gain. For a Collingwood, Essendon or Richmond that might be the case. But for a club like Melbourne it might be writing its own epitaph.
  4. Moloney injured me thinks, no sense in dropping him at this stage....UNLESS... 'Calling all units, prepare the TANKS for battlestations' One might think Round 2 might be a tad early but if you go and watch the 3rd qtr of last weeks game again you'd change your mind. I am not sadistic enough to suggest anyone should watch the entire game again
  5. It was a risk that paid off for the Cats even if they don't win another game for the rest of ottens career. well done to them
  6. 1 word 'TANKING' I heard Shaun McManus is out of contract this year and considering a move to Victoria.
  7. Anyone who thinks we can 'bolster' the side with the likes of Ben Holland needs a big cup of wake the F..K up. I love Benny's efforts but we need to play they kids and hope like Christ those that show potential in their first 20 games don't end up overpaid powderpuffs like Bruce & Yze. Green and Robbo only just avoid that tag at the moment.
  8. I think valenti should play rd 1 because he is in my supercoach team
  9. I'd agree with YM if Sylvia wasn't reprimanded. I am sick to death of these [censored] footballers too but it doesn't stop me from loving the club. The fact that the playing group has been pro-active and reprimanded players where they've been out of line in such a quick manner is a breath of fresh air. Before a team can win they must have respect for the jumper and each other, the playing groups stance on these issues is a positive step towards that. Hang in their YM
  10. I like the effort but do you not think it would be more pertinent to make this sort of analysis at the end of the season. Or at least after they have played a few real games.
  11. Yep, they're big spenders over at Lexusland
  12. That supposed Shane Valenti looks like the lead singer from Yothu Yindi
  13. Mark Stevens fancies the Dees I am sure. He often writes fluffy positive pieces about the dees and is the only journo around that really communicates how much we were cruelled by inury last year. While I dont agree with everything he says he makes some good points. If Rivers, Mclean & Sylvia reach the potential we saw them to have 2 years ago together this season we will be very competitive. However I fancied all 3 of them to be AA type players and they have a long way to go to reach that lofty status from what we have seen so far, injuries and fitness excepted.
  14. Is it just me or does it seem harder to do this year? The competition really is even. I am having trouble justifying the final positions with myself so I don't like my chances of convincing anyone else. Having said that Brisbane to do the business for mine. Brown and Bradshaw have the forward structure covered, Charman is more than adequate in the ruck. They have added TJs flair and touch to a hardworking midfield with a bit of grunt and they are big enough down back to cover most teams if Merret and Roe can cover the key posts. On top of that they have the best coach in the league. Probably int he best 3 coaches of all time. Melbourne on the other hand will struggle for mine. I feel I am being optimistic sticking them in at 11th. I hope like hell that prove me wrong. 1. Brisbane 2. Geelong 3. Hawthorn 4. Fremantle 5. Port 6. Collingwood 7. West Coast 8. St Kilda ------------------------------- 9. Sydney 10. Bulldogs 11. Melbourne 12. North 13. Adelaide 14. Carlton 15. Essendon 16. Richmond
  15. I got my pen and lanyard today. 1st set for me
  16. Macca will be starting in the guts, Davey on a wing, Newton will be close to goal not emergency. Dunn or Bate or Buckley might miss out.
  17. Valenti definitely worth a crack, hard at it with decent but not great pace. Would be handy should we experience injuries to guys like Brock or McDonald.
  18. That was f...ing terrific
  19. Robbie Haddrill did look to be an exciting KPD prospect before his knees. Obviously the thought at Freo was he wouldn't be able to get back that kind of flexibility and mobility and possibly even passion for the game. Pre injury he would have slotted in nicely down back for the Dees
  20. I have heard the Blues have already committed to the Kreuz, he knows where he is going. And in reality its perfect for them to add a long term star ruck prospect to the boon of obtaining the greatest midfielder come anything he wants in the land
  21. Anyone know where to find those provocative pics?
  22. Green out of the Goal square Newton to roam at CHF/FF with a Richo style. Needs to lift fitness to do this but is capable. Saves Neitz as a stay at home FF Miller CHB or anywhere on TBO Yze FP or anywhere at TBO. If I see him on a wing or in the guts or looking for cheapies round the back on defensive 50 I will scream
  23. I doubt they would drop the Demons moniker, simply commence refering to the club as Melbourne FC or MFC more often. We would still be the Demons but players and officials would make a concious effort to refer to us as the stated instead. I think its a good idea and should help the branding of the club in a national competition with the Team Melbourne thing taking flight soon
  24. They might issue them a fine, suspended for 12 months pending further indiscretion. It would be the soft heavy handed approach
  25. Scott Steiner and Chris Masters carry the tradition. Chris Tarrant resists the temptation every week
