He probably will have a blinder tomorrow!! Look how we turned Col around (or at least half round)

Buy her a membership for Mothers Day (and some flowers)!!

And Junior............

You play as a team and not just one player is going to win games. I think you underestimate the things he does that don't get the recognition. It was obvious on Sunday that he lacks confidence in his kicking but his marking is getting back to what it was a couple of years ago when he was being touted as a future leader of the club. He is giving his heart and soul out there. Watch him when someone else kicks a goal then watch Newton. I can't remember who it was maybe Jetta who kicked a great goal and everyone ran up to him - not sulky Newton. He provides leadership and inspiration. He is showing the young guys out there that anything is possible ie Pettard mark in forward pocket. That's what we need not some show pony like you know who.

Where will Bell eeee fit in?

Surfa, asked the question on a another thread but we are coming up to watch the Dees at the Gabba. Before I book seats is there any specific area that Melbourne supporters will be. Don't want to sit with the enemy!

Wet n Wild AND a "Gentlemens Club" what more could you ask for !!!!!! Before I book my seats at the GABBA can anyone tell me where the Melbourne supporters will sit at the Brisbane game??

Sounded like Chris Connolly

Heard you. Felt gooooood.

They were waiting for Bennell and Jetta to come over to lead the players. I thought Bennell and Jetta showed a lot of what we can expect in the next couple of years from them - what flair and dash. Remember the feeling we used to have when Aaron first played. Well that feeling was there again today with both Bennell and Jetta.

I love his enthusiasm. Instead of just walking off before the start of the game with other benchwarmers Jones went back to the melbourne boys in a huddle and was pumping them up. You can just feel his passion even from the stands. When he was interviewed after the game he spoke of the team as winners not just his game. Red and blue pumps thru his veins.

I like this thought thread. What about past players to mentor the younger players or even the mid level players during this time of "rebuilding". It must be hard bringing yourself up week in week out when you are losing every week so bring in players to keep reminding the young kids that their time will come etc etc. Garry Lyon, Neita,Schwarta, A.MCd, Greg Wells etc. Also last year or a couple of years ago players rang up those members who hadn't renewed their memberships. I must admit I got a call and it was an immediate impetus to renew and also great to talk to the player. Are we doing this again. I know another club is doing it but no harm in us doing it as well. whats a few phone calls!!!

The only issue I have is don't compare our culture with Saints. Surely not as "bogan".........................

What makes it worse is when he does bag MFC and Gerard Healy just sits there and lets him. For instance tonight on AW DWAYNE made a comment that it was a waste to even comment about Melbourne at the moment. A deathly silence from Gerard. What is Gerard's relationship with Melbourne? Does anyone know?

Dangerous - great run down - onforward it to DB!!

Did anyone listen to Gary Lyon last night re CS - more or less said his time was limited

Give him a go - at least to half way. I can barely bring myself to say it but AAAGH what about BUCKLEY. His comments and reading of the game seem outstanding!! <_<

Morton needs the awareness coach that Storm had during the week. Come to think of it but maybe Brucey and Mclean could do with it aw well.

I was glad that we didn't totally capitulate in the last quarter like we would have last year early in the season. Even though obviously Port slacked off a bit in the last we still had some triers. I was really pleased with Meesens hit outs. He has improved since NAB Cup days. Anyone else with an opinion on Meesen because we have all been fairly hard on him for weeks!!

After last season DB asked him on three occasions if he wanted to play for the Demons and each time he had to defer back to his father!!After the third time DB realised that CJ was the type of player he didnt want at MFC - no passion for the club. (He should have had a talk to Greenie!!)Melbourne tried to talk to him about a contract but he wouldn't talk to them. Maybe his father had a higher regard for his son's ability than DB did. Maybe AJ doesn't have the passion for his former club that other players have. A bit sad but what else would you expect from AJ. So CJ just did not want to be at the club particularly after Carlton told him that MFC had no future etc etc typical Carlton!! CJ is playing for the money just exactly like Judd except CJ hasn't got a job spruiking recycling!

Is that beam(er) me up Scotty!!!!!

Me too!!!!!

DemonDeb - we will be in Brisbane for Gabba game. Is there somewhere specific that demon supporters sit!!!!

That's why they are called the "FILTH"
