Brayshaws' Helmet

this is all a bunch of hot air. All that this article states is that Ball does not want to play for Melbourne. All of you people get in up in arms saying "well he can go F&^% himself" or "good riddance" just need to take a step back and look at the situation. Deep breaths, relax, there is no point getting all flustered about a player who never played for us in the first place. It is not a crime to nominate which clubs you want to go to. This gives the clubs notice that he does or does not want to play for your club. "Pick me if you want, but i probably wont be too passionate." He wants what is best for him and his career. He is not trying to insult the club or YOU as a supporter.

i really hope someone picks up newton so we don't have to our resources to get him again

im doing movember too, support the cause guys

This is rich. I went to all games at the mcg last year, and i still give him [censored] and 40 goals? he gets pushed off the ball too much to kick that many

the Marcus Seecamp award

did he follow melbourne when he was growing up?

well you asked me who i would prefer, and the answer is Green as captain. And given the opportunity imo would've been better.

i am not basing it on stats, i am saying Green>McDonald in a fundamental way

Fine, want to drag me in to some question and answer on a bunch of hypotheticals that first of all never happened and never will happen? Winning games on field. OK, Brad Green is a better player, tackle, kick, handball, goal kicker, defender, midfielder and forward. He outranks McDonald in all of these things. He was in the leadership group, and i assume will return. I am saying when the captaincy changed hands, i would've given it to Green instead of McDonald. Which is something i have already said. do you want make and more derogatory statements or questions?? waiting.....

Are you James McDonald? jesus pal, just voicing my opinion on captaincy. This may be a minority view, but imo being a leader on the field is more important than being a leader off the field. And as you try and undermine my opinion over and over, realize that he has been captain for a couple of years now, and i would say a good number of people don't even know who Melbourne's captain is. That's great that he does stuff behind the scenes and makes decisions that are super important. But you also have to remember that winning games ON the field is the point of playing the game

and i pity your arrogance. Don't want to tread on old ground because i have said this before on DL, but i think he makes too many mistakes like dropping marks and things like that. Personally when it changed over from Neitz, i would've put Brad Green captain, as he was clearly our best player.

i know i'm going to get bashed, but i have said it before, shouldn't of been captain last year, or this year

should use this term very loosely

went to every mcg game last year. it was freeezing

Or the Red Scull

as if they are going to "tank" out the rest of the year to get picks 1+2, and then give them away after it's all done. No wonder nobody takes port seriously

im not fussed by either of these cuts. Buckley and Valenti have shown promise, but this comes as no surprise. reasons why Our midfield is getting bigger, considering that Blease Strauss and Bail have either yet to play or only played 5 minutes. We will probably be getting Ball, who is another midfielder. We will be getting Scully and Trengove who are midfielders. and these 2 are the players that i would probably be at the bottom of the list in this position. sad times for the players, but it's just the way it goes.

we do not need Richmond's outcasts. They're side is lacking in depth already, and people want to take they're worst players that they delist?? please no

my favorite used to be Steven Tingay. My current is Davey

Ok that was announced while i was typing, my bad

F@#$$@#ck McGlynn is quality. Yeah i was thinking this about hawthorn at the start of the year, all these young stars will want more and more, an there is just no room for them in the salary cap. When you think about how many stars they have... and how much their salary will rise considering that they are pretty young Buddy Rough-head Rioli Lewis Hodge Williams Mitchell Brown Sewell I would consider all these players pretty good... and they will all demand more and more money... I wonder how many of these players will stay after the next couple of years

KEEP JAMAR, why do people want to get rid of him so much? he has shown skills last year. I'd stick with him i'd also give Paul Johnson another year, taller blokes take longer to develop.

they should bring the collar back. be the only team in the comp to have it

That is also partly why i don't like him, Caro, Lyon, hutchinson only ever go to him when they are talking about st.kilda, and he is so bitter that he got canned by the saints that he never has anything productive to say. He goes back on his word so much. agreed he is better than archer and carey.

considering Grant Thomas is trying to be a writer for heraldsun/age?? (can't remember which one) He is awful on Classified. And i disagree with almost everything he says
