Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Frost wouldn't net us much, he's a good athlete but he's no footballer. Deer in the headlights when faced with real competition.

We're not gonna keep OMac just to keep his brother happy. If he's good enough he'll stay, if not he'll get traded or delisted. Simple. Jimmy Stynes didn't leave when Brian got dumped, Todd Viney didn't leave when Jay got the flick. Playing together would be nice but they're their own men with their own careers. Can't believe I had to actually say that.

Glaring weakness in defence
Brown always kills us, surprised we didn't start TMac on him though once Hogan went off we didn't have that luxury.

Lewis Vince and Jones won't be around forever. Injuries and form will also mean the two Mac's and Frost aren't gonna play 22 games a season. We may have other needs but if you have the chance to land a quality players you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Outside mid would be my first preference though.- Disposal Efficiency
Yeah very hard to kick the ball running at full tilt. He almost seems to be going too fast sometimes as he covers the distance so quickly he doesn't have time to bounce so has to throw it on his boot.- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
I know you gotta give something to get something but no way are we getting rid of Salem. He's one of the few kids we have with a lethal boot- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
I'm a believer in Champion Data stats and analytics. It stacks up. TMac is one of the best defenders in the league regardless of the criticisms Melbourne supporters have- Jeff 'Wiz' Farmer
I was working that night, taped the game without knowing the score. Thought it was wrapped up, 2 seconds left then that free kick, in our backline, against Neitz of all people, to the Wiz of all people. Could not believe it, sat there stunned for about 15 minutes- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
They apparently see him as a future captain and perennial AA.- Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Crows board on BF seem to think it's a done deal Lever has re-signed with them for 5 years- Jeff 'Wiz' Farmer
I remember at the time there was some BS reasoning that because it was in the last round and the nomination occurred in the first week of finals it couldn't be included for MOTY contention. It sounds ridiculous so I could be misremembering but that is what I've always thought was the reason.- Jeff 'Wiz' Farmer
His 2000 season was phenomenal, 76 goals for a small forward. One game at Docklands against either Freo or WCE he kicked 7 or 8 goals including one off the ground from about 40 metres out in the pocket Not to mention his 9 2nd half goals against the Pies after being dragged.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Is May a FA? If he's not not sure how the Hawks can get the deal done. Edit - never mind just saw subsequent posts- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Ryan Griffen?- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Some good points- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
I thought Watts had been floated previously (even last year?) and there were no bites- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
What do you suggest the Match Committee do this week if you think Oscar should be dropped?- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Didn't Hurley recommit to the Bombers last year? Pretty sure he's tied up- Clarence Oliver
Petracca is like Bontempelli in that he can have a greater impact on the game with fewer disposals. He may get the ball less but he is more damaging.- When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
If so that would reduce a major advantage the WA clubs have but may also help WCE win at the G (although Freo don't seem to have that problem)- When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
North have made a few prelims in that time, hardly a Richmond type team you're talking about- When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
I thought Adelaide oval was similar dimensions to the G didn't realise it was narrower. Do you know what the new WA ovals dimensions are?- Clarence Oliver
He's got long arms so yeah he can play tall and is strong enough to clunk some marks- The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
Another Koschitzke? I'll never forget watching Schwarz interview him on some footy show and he just collapsed next to him. Scary stuff. Then a week later he crashes into an umpire playing VFL - Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
