This is pretty much like Lance Franklin going to the Storm.

There are so many awkward silences as well. There's no banter between the commentators. The whole "still learning" argument is a dumb excuse considering how most new commentators fall straight into it seamlessly and we don't even realise they're new. She sounds like a VFL commentator.

Time to move on. We can't keep players like him when we could be filling his position with a prospective superstar. Let's not be like Richmond and hold on to players simply because they've had great careers. His time is up and he won't win a flag with us. It's time for him to move on. Hopefully he stays around the club in some way. A fantastic club man and truly worth to have worn the red and blue!

3. Viney 2. Rigoni 1. Leoncelli I don't really remember many players before the 96/97 seasons. Only really started supporting around then.

Doesn't it cost something like $40,000 to elevate a rookie?

With all due respect, we're not going to beat Geelong.

Isn't that two in a row for Melbourne now?

15,888 final score.

Yaha, lottery system used in the US.

If we win one more game I am ripping up my membership. lol

lol @ "we are in real danger of winning this"

Couldn't go today - sick as a dog! Going to watch the game delayed on Channel 7.

The entire AFL is in the stone ages. No free agency is the biggest joke imo. If you have a decent salary cap and enforce strict minimum percentage salary cap restrictions, no one team would be out of favour (pending teams like Melbourne fix up their training venue debacles to attract free agents and re-sign players). It should be a lottery system. The bottom 8 teams are all entered into a lottery, with the lower based teams having a higher chance of winning. So if you finish 16th, you get 3000 balls in the lottery. 15th get 1000 balls, 14th get 900 balls, 13th get 800 balls and so on, so at least then 16th still has the best chance (by far) to get the No. 1 pick, but any other of the bottom 8 teams also have a chance. If you win less than 5 games over 2 years, you get two positions in the lottery, and the 9th placed team gets the 9th pick as opposed to the 8th.

We won't beat both Richmond and Freo. We might not even beat one of them. I seriously think we have a better chance of beating Port than any of our remaining games. They are not an MCG team (nor is Freo, but they always play well against us on the G)

I don't think I've ever walked into a sports store and seen an extensive range of Melbourne gear. I always just put it down to have been sold out

One of the top teams will grab him. Can see him going to one of Collingwood, Bulldogs or Saints.

Can't believe we traded Travis for this hack.

Sylvia gets 3 weeks, yet Brennan gets 1 week for a headbutt? What a disgrace...

Let's just have a look at who we can beat in the following weeks. Port Fremantle North Richmond That's four of our remaining 7 games that are all very winable. So yes, if we want good picks, we cannot afford to win this week. I want to beat Fremantle if any of those teams. I have WC and Freo more than any other teams and absolutely love when we beat them.

Yet we seem to be the only team he plays well against.

We would be a -4 goal better team if Garland was playing. Warnock, Rivers and Grimes have held up so well. Our backline has been the surprise packet of our season I reckon. Granted, lots of goals kicked on us, but they've done a hell of a job considering the pressure. It's our midfield that has let them down.

Spencer is not a ruckman. That's pretty obvious when he goes up for a contest in the ruck. Jamar is good, but he needs to do a lot more around the ground. This is where Meeson comes who. PJ is a hack.

I thought they were consistent. Both teams got some horrendous calls against them. There have been worse games from the umps, but yesterday wasn't good.

Hmmm where were you sitting? I was right on the wing on the first level in the Southern Stand, could hear it fine. No problems at all.
