business pays higher interest than normal home loans,,,the reason is risk..

jim and cameron appear to be going along well. winning games could help to reduce debt quicker

if he's fit...then we should play him,,,it will be good to have some more pace injected into the side. also sounds like he's going to be a small big man with a vertical leap like his. bring on round 1

great post...spot on.

thanks for the report guys,,,good to see some positives

verbal diarrhoea

super coach value

fair point...grimes then?

I'm not trying to talk about who in our best 22,,,but rather who has the body capable of going the full 22 rounds of home and away if available...from our recent recruits. couple names to start it off...couple of these guys are new to the club but are showing promise and others have been Garland, Colin Strauss, James Wonaeamirri, Austin Trengove, Jack Scully, Tom Jetta, Neville Bennell, Jamie who can bails rely upon to play 22 home and away games this year if fit from our young/less experienced brigade if fit...that's my question?

if watts is fit...he needs to be played at the AFL level. it's an obvious part of his development. afl games will help teach him what he needs to learn by playing at casey when dropped (etc... )

yeah...but u seen wat he does with the ball though? not much...

it's meant to be a joke...talking about grimes as next captain is premature,,,i think this thread should be renamed so it doesn't promote any further discussion towards grimes...

if jamar plays every game this year he has more chance of grimes getting captain

did wonna play?

congrats to wonna for making it back...he's seems like the kinda player who will always have a feel for it provided he is fit. i think this will allow brad green to move up the ground,,,i would like to see green and davey delivering it into the forward line...

Sam Blease – Ankle – 2-3 weeks i'll be a very happy man to see this guy off the injury list in 2-3 weeks...hopefully him coming off the list is in some way a turning point for melb injuries,,,touch wood

good call...dunn could have a col sylvia year...

point taken...i watch all melbourne games to the end...even if we win or lose. I'm a passionate melbourne member. if all your reading about the melb football club is trengove and scully...then it becomes quite boring. i would prefer the coach to challenge the older players (played 40 or more) to lift to another level. it's up to the younger players to rally around the older players when they can.

melb has some very rich members,,,there is no doubt in my mind if we had a premiership team they would come out to support us. everyone likes to back a winner,,,something we are not at the moment...ablett is a winner

i'm sick of the youth excuse too,,,i'm also sick of hearing about trengove and scully...plus how people want jack grimes as the next captain...after playing under 20 games... i want to hear more about expectations..ie., it's good to hear bails is asking more from third year players. i want bails to publicy say col sylvia needs to have a crack this year. i really want to hear a public stand point on miller also. any player on the melb list who's played 40 or more games...needs to be contributing and should beat their oposition player more often than not. time to single out a couple players.

...many people thought brock was going to be captain... grimes has only played 16 or so games....we shouldn't learn to pin our hopes on young guys. it won't be until mcdonald leaves that the void will bring out the unlikely next captain.

i'm surely it's a combination of all of the above comments! ha

i thought pettard had a crack for most of the night...for what i saw of him

I thought ricky pettard (15) did a little after he came on as a subsitution. wasn't special but had a go.

only positive is we have put more games into some young bodies,,,,strauss, scully, fitzpatrick, trengove had good first games,,,melb need to games into these boys but manage workload to avoid burnout
