Got there at half-time because of work. God I hate Telstra Dome (and backwards Doggie supporters)

WCE have got it in the bag. They're a rabble. They'll make the finals next year.

No. It will be a good game though.

He'll retire.

30-40 points, with a similiar game to the Sydney match.

He's 28 and isn't going to get any better. Trade Bruce for a top 10 pick.

They've figured out in 16 games what Daniher couldn't in 4 years.

McDonald - Old Dirty Buzzard Bruce - It's Raining Men Miller - I'm to sexy for my shirt Carroll - Macho Man Sylvia - I don't know much, but I know I love you

Watts???

He's Sandy's poster boy. Where you been?

When the league has the mentality of money instead of competition, there is always going to be a wacky draw. The AFL rewards TV ratings and crowds instead of success. Why not just make it a simple draw? One at home, one away, one home, one away, to make it 11 at home, 11 away where you play each team once in the first 15 rounds, and then the teams from rounds 1-7 twice. Collingwood have made the finals 4-5 times in the past 14 years. Yet, the get rewarded with the most MCG and marquee games. Why not give each club an equal amount? How does giving Collingwood so many "away" games at the MCG fair when teams like Melbourne have to play home games in Canberra. Maybe if we got more Friday night games, more Saturday games, we wouldn't be so badly in debt.

Of all years...

Brad Green and Brad Miller. Both have stepped up amazingly. It's harder for an older player with leadership responsibilities to step up then it is for a young play with minimal responsibilities. I'd give it to Miller.

59K for a Swans game is the equivalent of about 30k for a Melbourne Storm game. If you're going to use any example, use the Hawthorn-WC games last Friday. Friday night, one of the top teams, heaps of members, playing a team that won a flag 2 years ago, and has one of the highest membership numbers in the league, only 29,000. Melbourne (last, low membership) against Brisbane (lowest membership) at the MCG on a Sunday. 23,000.

Over 20.

Probably went up, had a few to drink, came back worse for wear and wasn't his self at training.

CJ has had 1 fantastic game in his whole career. Let's wait and see how he performs for the rest of the year before we fall in love with him.

*cough*

Ahh Demonland, how I love thee...

He's shown his colours this season. The last few articles on Melbourne have been articles written by a supporter, not a journalist, imo. Not discrediting his work at all, though.

Not going to put a number on it. In 98, it was 2 years. In 2002, it was 2 years, in 2004 it was 1 year. I'm going to say at least 5 years.

Whose Travis Johnstone?

They have 15,000 members. The other half and a bit are corporates and sympathy buys.

I'm sure they'll update it soon enough.

I got to the game late, about 1:20, and there were still cars trying to get into the ground, all the way banked up past The Hilton.
