Sylvia suspended. *sigh*

I'll say it before some other delusional and naive person comes in and says it: HAVE FAITH! That's just so no one else has to say it. Here's what I have to say: I hope you're wrong, but I agree with you. Terrible year a head.

I don't know where you buy your Versace polo shirts from, but they cost considerably more then $80...

I'm not writing him off. Do you read my posts? Just curious.

But what did he do besides be a great player? What did he achieve? You're missing my point. I am not discrediting his ability or how great he was. Instead, I'm saying that there are at least 50 players that are more deserving then him. Being a great player on a poor team is not, in every sport, something to write home about.

I'm 21. They are grown men. They have a responsibility, and that's to be the face of an organisation that is struggling to develop a strong eye in the public. If they were determined enough for success, the curfew wouldn't be needed. Granted, successful clubs in the past have needed it, but we're in a different position. We are struggling, and this curfew shows that obviously plays weren't focused enough on their responsibilities

You're all bias. Had a player of Flower's calibre from another team that sucked majorly over the same period was included, you'd all be throwing sticks and burning stacks outside Sheahans house. I'm saying, you can be good, but the reason the man is barely brought up in UN-BIAS conversation of the best ever players is because he played on a terrible team and couldn't lead them to success. It's the same in every sport. Sheahans list is consistent and accurate, and he didn't let his support of Melbourne get the best of him like most of you. It has nothing to do with me not seeing him grow up, but me knowing he didn't achieve anything outside of the club while he played. And YES that does have influence. PS. Just quietly, who likes my new icon?

Flower was good, but look at what he did. Nothing. Don't flame, but you have to consider that the man didn't win a premiership in his time at Melbourne. He was a part of one of the worst era's by any team in the history of aussie rules. I thought it was lucky he was included as the ones who just missed out. I mean, didn't win a brownlow, premiership or anything else outside of Melbourne.

Yet another player who has struggled to live up to expectations at Melbourne. Granted, he has had a lot of injuries, but if he doesn't perform this year he should be traded at the end of the year. I hate hacks, and he is slowly becoming one, like Johnstone was, like Green is and like Bruce is becoming. *waits to get flamed*

Optimistic view. I disagree. We will fulfil everyone's expectations this year and finish in the bottom 5.

Port Adelaide Geelong Brisbane Collingwood West Coast Hawthorn Sydney St. Kilda Adelaide Western Bulldogs Fremantle Kangaroos Essendon Carlton Melbourne Richmond Brisbane will challenge this year.

I cannot believe grown men need a curfew. It doesn't wreak of professionalism, it wreaks of immaturity.

They'll be nothing again this year. Judd is overrated....

They can have it...

We won't win, but it will be another chance for our youngsters to get experience. I mean, who really cares (or wants) their team to win practice matches? (or the NAB Cup for that matter)?

Jones McLean Bate Frawley Newton Morton Dunn Petterd Rivers Davey

noob means someone with great knowledge of something they are new at

Believe me, the whole way through I was very impressed with our youngsters. I am very hopeful in that sense. I only pointed out Green because his game was no different than what it has been over the past 1 and a bit seasons. He's an overrated hack. Like Bruce. You build a club around those two softys who look good with their skills and you end up being a team that can't finish a season off and that crumbles under pressure. Melbourne failed to do so in 04, 05 and 06.

Dappa Dan: That's what inexperience does to you. Didn't have the experience to steady up and come out hard at the final like an almost-100%, reigning premier does.

Fire Bailey! Trade Neitz! Merge with WB! It's all falling a part!

Another thing on the bright side: Yet another game were Green proves how much of a hack he is. Should have traded him 2 years ago. How is this bright? We're a game closer to this overrated player getting traded.

Chuck for Jones.

Darwin would be a more logical choice because it would only need a crowd of 5,000-10,000 people to post a profit. They'd get between 10k-20k each game. West Sydney I think is a stupid move. I don't think Sydney is AFL hungry enough to sport a second team. The GC is feasible as it's a booming city and with the support of the sharks, could become a powerhouse of Adelaide-esque proportions.

Well, this looks like a 100 point loss. Anyway, can someone answer these 2 questions for me: 1. Why did the AFL schedule this game in Geelong and not a regional area like far north queensland, gold coast, NZ, tassie or elsewhere where the AFL is pushing? 2. Why did Melbourne see the need to wear a clash jumper that clashes more with the Geelong jumper than the non-clashing, traditional jumper would?

We're going to finish last this year. Not getting Judd might be a blessing in disguise, but finishing last is also.
