Saw Sheehan at lunch on Friday - had the MFC tie on.

Last year we had a higher percentage than Freo. They had 9 wins last year we had 8.5 wins. Your sweeping statements don't make sense to me and undermine your whole post. What's changed?? Freo got Lyon, we got Neeld. Don't sugar coat things about how Freo had a better list, It's wrong altho it has become the accepted norm.

I want the two minutes of my life back.

Who really cares. Footy finished for me after Rd 2.

err what?? Throw the toys out of the pram in May when it all looks too hard????

That is our whole problem right there.

Was obviously part of the signing. 'Must finish in the top 4 at the B& F Their lack of credibility just got even bigger...

Grimes's goal for the year is to go ONE SINGLE GAME without an out on the full. SPORTSBET odds are pretty high....

Bruce reckons 'we're flying' at the moment...

The club sounds like it has spoken to players and managers but is not going to provide a running media commentary. Some player managers would be happy to get the message out there to try and get their charge a job elsewhere. At least thats my reading. And happy with that.

No. You think about it. You define talent too broadly. Let me help you. tal•ent*ˈtæl ənt(n.) a special, often creative natural ability or aptitude: a person or persons with special ability, esp. in a particular field: And BTW our players don't seem to be able to kick, mark and handball too well!

That line is insane. Of course they have talent. It's application, sweat, perseverance, desire and hunger that they are more likely lacking. Remember most gun juniors don't have to work too hard. To say they don't have talent ruins your otherwise sound arguments..

Keep taking your medication.

WIll be hard to go down from here. Altho I'm sure we'll give it a shot!....

Sam Reid is skinny but can play.

Disagree on Morton. Agree on Blease. Blease actually tries to create something and will be a 70m player when he gets some endurance. We are seeing glimpses of it now. Gets the ball and runs a few metres before dishing it off. If there is space he goes for a gallop. Morton doesn't do that.

+1

I think you are wrong on this. When players like Swan and even Ablett get them it is usually because they get the ball, give it off and run to a position that demands the ball back. Often in a chain they will get 3 or 4 possessions, mostly uncontested. The problem with players like Morton is that they hang around loose (5m off their opponent and incapable of defending against them if there is a turnover) get a cheap ball and dish it off. There is no run, spread or carry and the possession is next to useless. Davey obviously thinks along your lines because he just sits behind Jamar and takes a cheap handball possession before dinking a kick 15m to a team mate. This is what I consider are next to useless possessions and demonstrates a player that is intent on bolstering his possession count rather than being a genuine help to the team.

Cynic

Well done to Tom for his 7 votes and 6th placing. Seems like a good year for defenders with Talia winning the award. Nominated in rd 12 he joins 2 others as the only players to win being nominated after rd 8.

Ok my bad. Misread. Cheers

Sadly he is contracted and he is worth zilch n the trade market. Like all Mortons.

Are you for real. Can you read?? Midfielders who can defend. Wow must only be two of those on the planet. Didn't mention anything about A graders.

Melbourne are clearly going to be aggressive in the free trade market. MN knows the player types he wants and has shown a clear intent to get them as well as get rid of those that don't want to get with the program. The FT market wil be very interesting. We have money, intent, salary cap room and list room. Glad we are finally growing some cojones.

Err I did. An 'indictment' - an expression of strong disapproval.
