Terrible game so far. Freo are terrible. We're worse.

I think some of you are forgetting that the siren is just a signal to end the match. A quarter is not officially over until the umpire calls it.

Don't really care if we win or not. I just want our young ones to get plenty of experience. Hopefully it's a rough and tough game and Freo come in all fires blazing. Nice first-up test.

Trengove is at around 150k. I put him in my midfield. Only Melbourne play I've got.

Jetta is the kind of player that would thrive in a swift, fast game plan. Once he gets the ball, he never stops or slows down. Always turns around quick and looks for the immediate option up forward. I think that once we start winning games, getting confidence and implementing a gameplan similar to Port's in 2004 (always moving, always playing on, handballing game play - which I am assuming Bailey is trying to implement), he will be a better player. I am confident he can be a strong Wing-type player.

I'll never forget his first game against Carlton at Optus Oval in 1998. What a debut! Pity injury ruined the next two seasons for him.

Yeah! Damn you Collingwood! How do you not be wary of a team that has won 7 games over the past two seasons. You should be fearing our WRATH and obvious SKILL!

I've never rated Bruce as highly as everyone else. I wouldn't care if he left. I definitely overrated Brock (see sig.).

You don't believe that about Brock?

OMG! A HUMAN BEING HAS A VIRUS!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! CALL THE MILITARY!!! NOW!!!!

Playing at a big club like Shepp (either one) ain't that bad. He'll get a nice cheque at the end of each game. It's not completely necessary to live there either. He might only go up for the matches every weekend, which is pretty normal for most big country clubs that recruit ex AFL players. Also, a lot of these clubs have people on the boards who own/run their own businesses in town, and often they can give jobs to these high profile recruits. I doubt Robbo would be in a situation like that, but I'm just trying to put into perspective that it ain't all that bad.

Pretty terrible to put that in when we haven't even picked him, no matter how much of a given it is.

Oh! Setting the recorder for that one!

Air Jurrah would be great.

My sig is a joke. I made a thread with that exact quote about 3 years ago. Then he got traded and my face was/is red.

I think the current logo is great.

Did I miss the Joel MacDonald press conference?

Your inclusion of Garland in your list is an abomination.

As much as I love the guy, I want him to stay fit and play a full season before judging him based on a few great games.

I turned off after Dunstall asked Scully, "What are your plans with the money?" What kind of question is that?

Who?

Who?

We're not taking Ball with pick 11. Stop discussing it, stop thinking about it, stop debating it.

Well, we kind of already knew that. If he is available at 11, and all of the players we hoped to select up until 18 have been picked, we'll take Ball. If there are still some quality kids left at 11, we'll wait till 18. If Ball is available then, he is ours.

As much as I love my footy, I can't imagine anyone not wanting the World Cup here. I think people underestimate how much of an event it is. It's a million times bigger than the Olympics and to get it would be a massive boost for the country, Melbourne and sport in general. If for every 120 years of footy we get 1 World Cup, then hell yeah!
