For any of us lacking faith in the FD's capacity to identify trade options, I would draw their attention to yesterday's VFL final between Collingwood and The Bullants. Buckley, Johnston and Mclean were all running around looking rather ordinary. We are developing quite the happy knack for divesting ourselves of weak links for minimal cost.

Surely it was his Grand dad was the gun

Nooooooooooo!

A little bird has mentioned Jones to the Suns Hope this is false The source was close to the Jones family

Uhm..Campbell Brown and Cyril Rioli

Not a bad looking line-up, depth is looking good

Good post

This is just like when Fonzie jumped the shark!

Hi All, I was looking at the club website today and I must say what a difference they have made over there. The chat site is a great innovation which appears to make the club even more accessible.. Great Work

From memory he was one of Bailey's boys from his Mt Gravatt days

Moot point I'm afraid, Meesen was a list clogger who was retained as a rookie through the new rule. The issue was whether to pay him out mid contract (V poor iMO) or rookie him and pick up another young fellow through the draft. Rookying Meesen and Newton cleared the way for Gawn and Fitzy

Hi CJ, Perhaps you could pm me with your details and we could hook up, just out of interest, where are you?

Further to the Robbie Flower/Round 22 Video thread, my brother has in numerous boxes VHS tapes containing the replays of all Melbourne winning games from 1987 to the mid 2000’s. Included are 1987 Round 22, 87 Elimination vs North, 87 Semi vs Sydney, 87 Channel 2 Friday football show with Tim Lane and John Northey et al, and the as yet un watched 87 Prelim vs Hawthorn. All are taped from the TV replays, some with ads, many without ads. Most are complete games, but some are individual quarters dependant on what the broadcaster aired. If anyone has the capability to turn this VHS resource into a digital format he would be very happy to make them available. Perhaps even someone from the Club might be interested? Any ideas?

Confucius Says - "2 medium quality players does not a high draft pick make"

Um, isn't that what happened, we out scored them for the rest of the game by better matchups

Ditto

And I reiterate, nor does Alanis Morrisette LOL

Tapscott is a compact, leading, long kicking forward with, according to CC, "A bit of the P*$%K about him" He is the one that I am most excited about seeing. As with all emerging teams, we are a bit nice at the moment and I think to have a bit of Campbell Brown around the place won't go astray.

Might have been listening to Alanis Morrisette, she doesn't know what it is either

Nice one

I'm leaning towards 13 myself, he is making the previous incumbent look second rate (no disrespect OOze) - Jordie McKenzie you gun

What a bizarre thread this is!! I do not believe that any of our players will be adversly effected by playing in pink, and as a previous poster said, so what if the odd commentator or spectator makes a crack about the colour. It will only serve to highlight their ignorance to the cause that the club is supporting. As someone who has recently lost a brother, a mother and most recently an uncle to this dreadful disease; anything that helps to raise peoples awareness to the cause is priceless. I have been attending Melbourne games since 1969, I have been a member for many years, I am passionate about the club and where it is going and I attend as many games as I can but through all of that I try to keep in mind the fact that no one dies in football, no one deals with the battles that any cancer sufferer has to deal with and the idea that it is after all, more than a game is nonsense. So if we can use any tool available to promote cancer awareness and particularly breast cancer awareness I say bring it on. Perhaps when you feel like cringeing at the pink jumper have a think about what this is really about; saving lives. I am sure that will help

Unbelievable

Yeah, I too missed the game but have just watched the last quarter on the AFL website. I am on Mac but it played ok if only on low resolution. At times it looked a bit like a dodgy computer game from around 1992!! :D. I might try the rest of the game during the week. I found that at high res it buffered for ever. Go Dees
