  1. Preaching to the converted here Roost it. I have been calling for martin to go forward since his 2nd snr game. Copped a bit of flak about comparing him to a young D.Schwarz but time will tell! I totally agree about Col G. I believe that he could be as good as scarlett. LEAVE HIM AS THE GENERAL DOWN BACK!!!!!!!
  2. For mine it is anthony rock that has a bit to answer for. He was left a top quality midfield and this slipped under him, correct me if I am wrong but during this period not many injuries to top players. Paul Williams had plenty of injuries. Lets hope westy can rebuild it like ratten did. I'm Getting more excited every day! Even signed the Pooch up as member last night!
  3. I have been saying ever since that interview that he will not see out 2009. Really who cares what he thinks or that joke club from WA think. Really they are a perfect match. On the flip side I could not be happier about how bailey held himself thus far
  4. Rumor has it that there is now a minimum IQ of 20 required for application...... At this point the club is not expecting any successful applications and they are opening the positions to Zoo animals which they expect a better set of candidates!
  5. I've been thinking of putting a bit of my hard earned on us making the 8. Haven't looked yet but sure to get good odds and I really think we are a chance.
  6. I still strongly believe he will be playing next year. If he goes into the PSD someone will see the value of the risk of drafting ben vs the risk of drafting a nobody who will never cut it. Geeze I hope it is MFC that is bold. Which ever way it goes it will be good PR. If he turns out good we were the ones that gave him a chance when no one else would have. Worst case if he re-offends then he is gone and we are still seen as the good guys for giving the bloke a chance. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE, ONLY GAIN BY DRAFTING BEN.
  7. I'd try the membership number, I'm sure that they would point you in the right direction
  8. Anyone to do it PLS! But wait until The Other Blokes deadline tomorrow. If he does not nominate then keep the cards close. My feeling is that if I was at St Kilda I would not want to waste a nat draft pick. therefore if I was betting i would have my money on PSD and therefore No need for MFC to act. Lets see what tomorrow brings us. We might see a new face with #4 on his back thurs morning in the papers (Watts that is!)
  9. I hope we get swift at 17, looks like a gun. But if not go TALL with 1st 3 picks. (Watts - 1, Shoenmakers - 17) We have a good young midfield that I'm sure will develop beyond expectations this year if we have a good run with injuries so go TALL KPP.
  10. OK, Here is an idea, if the club won't allow the club to do it officially get G.Lyon to stage it unoffically. parade watts around in a MFC jumper for the cameras. It will be as good as an official means.
  11. What difference does it make. MFC have the #1 Pick end of story. I can understand that if a club with #3 wanted to make an announcement but surely the AFL can see the benifit to all involved allowing the #1 pick to be named in the lead up. I have a feeling NBA #1 are announced prior to draft, (pls correct me if I am wrong). If they gag us, even more reason for el-president to put the hand out I say!
  12. +1 for ratts being the best coach we have lost in recent times. He took a lazy midfield that didn't chase to become one rated as the top 2 or 3 in the land within a year if memory serves me. Hopefully west can do similar and if he does, hopefully we can hold on to him after that.
  13. I knew Luke had injury issues, but wow... This is a story that anyone critical of the pick should read. Without injuries who knows how good he could have been. Lets hope we have got it right last year and moving forward.
  14. Agree we have nothing to gain by delaying. It can only be more exposure for MFC to announce wed/thur so that we don't get lost in the media hype of the "other" bloke who is yet to nominate?
  15. Not only that but I think he would be a big chance to take the next step as well. He might go from a Very, Very good play to elite within a year or 2 with the extra responsibity and if we are lucky a few others in the middle might go along for the ride (ALA Hawks). I wonder what the odds of making the 8 at this stage are for next year, might be worth investing a bit of the hard earned!
  16. BINGO!!!! Thats my point, it won't hurt 1 bit. It does not have to be long term just give the kid a go and see what he can do.
  17. My Guess is he will play about the same as maric did this year. Has his VCE to finish and I doubt the club will give him any more then a taste maybe 6 games at the most.
  18. Driving home thurs I saw a couple of tall somalian kids with a cricket bat and stumps. I just hope that they were playing cricket with them!
  19. I have never heard that dirty traitoring, turncoat defend us once. Generally he is one to stick the knife in as well. If gerard healy was on fire I wouldn't........ He has a lot to pay back to earn our respect back, well mine at least.
  20. For me brock is ready and fits in well with our direction and youth policy. Bruce and Green are great players but don't always have their heart on the the sleeve when they are out there. You know every game brock plays there is nothing left in the tank at full time.
  21. Pretty big raps on grimes as well, could be that wing-a to replace sting-a My best (and bad) memory was of Stinga giving matera a bath on the wing in the prelim at subie. we were on top until stinga jarred his knee and the rest is history I guess it summed his career up. When he was playing he was the best winger in the comp but sadly another player at melb during that era that spent too much time on the sidelines.
  22. or is it 27th time lucky??, Probably being a little cheeky - Job well done still!
  23. Too obvious for mine... "We were sure he would be taken by St Kilda" - he'll be arrested for public drunkenness before the year is out. But........ "Natural forward" - has never tackled, shepherded or manned up in his life - or spoiled!!!!
  24. "He has the knack of being able to produce something out of nothing" i.e., goals for the forward he is playing on! :angry:
