What about Col Garland? Should he be on that list?

Did it against GWS in 2013 too, but I get your point. He's done it a couple of times, but if Roos thinks Col is one of those suffering from irreparable damage, then move him on. EDIT. I've changed my tune in the space of a thread. What a dill.

Always does. In the past he's had no tank. I hope he's improved this area, otherwise he won't make it.

Jones alluded to this in his press conference today too. Interesting. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2015-06-03/media-conference-jones-and-brayshaw Gee, Gus speaks well. Future leader, indeed.

I thought it might be because he's a fellow Tasmanian. Meanwhile, the argument that Howe is a marketing goldmine doesn't hold water for me. If we trade him for a first rounder, we can get a midfielder who the kids can love just as much. Oh and winning will do the trick too.

I wouldn't be surprised if he sees Garland in that group too. Although, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be moved on. We may look for win-win trades though.

My girlfriend works in the Department of Human Services and from her experience it's incredibly difficult to remove indigenous children from families where they perpetrate harm against children, because as an instrument of the government, they are paranoid about being seen to create another Stolen Generation. This actually results in a population of children that are traumatised and irreparably harmed, contributing to a cycle of abuse, intergenerational poverty and intergenerational child protection involvement. This all said, a lot of the issues faced by the indigenous community stem from British colonialism and as a result it is really not good enough for the rest of Australia to continue turning a blind eye to the plight of these indigenous communities. So, for example, do not force closure of remote communities and do not remove educational funding from indigenous communities. In fact, this only worsens the problem.

Lol. What? Chill out Bucks, ya f l o g.

Fair enough.

Our form will turn around because we'll be playing middle of the road teams. On the evidence of this season so far, we're strong and combative against theae teams and we've won all those games, with the exception of Adelaide. Had we kicked straight against Adelaide, we would have won or gone very close. I was at that game and we won the uncontested and contested possessions, and had the same amount of scoring shots (in fact, they had a shot on the siren).

For me, at this stage, Frost has some handy versatility, but he's not in the bracket of Viney, Jetta or Tyson IMO.

Agreed mate.

Bookmark it. I've been saying it for weeks now. We will win our 6-8 games.

But improvement also comes incrementally. When we win our 6-8 games this year that'll be an improvement on last year. Next year it'll be about ensuring consistency of performance. If we can do that we'll go close to the top 8. Once again, another incremental step.

Agreed we miss Kent, Frost and Viney, but I also agree Tyson has been thoroughly underwhelming this season. He was instrumental in our few wins last season. He won a heap of clearances and kicked goals. If he capture that form again this year, that's where the season will turn, IMO. It'll free up Jones, Vince and even Brayshaw and Vanders.

If Tyson regains fitness and form, that's where our season turns for me.

It's got very little to do with the forwardline IMO and everything to do with our C grade midfield.

I think this merely shows the gulf between the top 4 or 5 teams and the rest of the competition. Take those 4 or 5 out and anyone could beat anyone. I still believe we will win between 6-8 games this year.

If it's the same blonde guy that I'm thinking of, I still see him regularly at the footy. See him whenever we trave interstate too. Remember the guy with 45 on his back too. Haven't seen him around for quite some time though.

I don't suppose ProDee and a few others were marching in Richmond yesterday with the United Patriots Front? Some scary insights into posters on this thread. I can't see us learning much more from it.

Brilliant.

No one can take you seriously after that crack about the Stolen Generation being a myth. I suppose the WW2 Holocaust is a myth too? Actually, don't answer that. I think I know your answer.

Let's revisit this in a few months, mate.

We will win between 6-8 games, showing clear signs of improvement and that, along with a big contract, may do it.

I don't think Jack lacks effort. It's physicality he lacks and in the modern game, if you can't tackle, you're shown up severely.
