Demon Tingles- it is my belief he could become an outstanding winger- great defensive yet very attacking. Your opinion please would be greatly appreciated. Please note after a return from the backline.

No way- you are dreaming. Newton is proven to a certain extent- needs to prove he is worth while keeping Fitzi has done nothing as yet

Agree along with 2010 stars- Scully, Trengove and Gysberts whilst Gawn and Blease star in 2011 whilst we wait for young Viney to enter the fray.GO DEES

In some ways Liam having his first major injury he now knows how important fitness, exercise , strength and conditioning his body is.We all know how his body is so light and he will have to build up his strength and weight over the next few pre seasons. This time out will play a major part to this being strength to his shoulder areas.Similar to Jack Watts. Far too slight for the role we want to play him.Liam,I believe is far to light also.However the best with recovery to him and Ding Dong.

I totally support and agree with your points Dan.

Shocking news to read on the website both AFL & Melbournefc that Liam will be out for 16 weeks. This must be devastating to the club overall. Hoping that they rise on Saturday.

Again thanks for sharing this news regarding Colin. After reading the shattering news regarding LJ I needed a pick up

There is merit to seriously considerGrimes- in particular if he has a great year.Iagree with most but look at what David Hookes did with the Victorian cricket team, put in a very young captain and look at them over the last 5 years in all aspects.

Would you classify this match as critical??? Only rassin !

As far as I am concerned WINNING games is the most important factor to and for our development. Pity we did not win this match - but it was an almighty effort- this is what we want from our team- a real red hot go.

Great to see such an optimistic supporter. I actually agree with most you say- however you are also on record as saying we will win 3 of the first six. And on last Saturdays form that is not above us.

I agree that Spencer & McKenzie will step up- Gawn will not play for at least 8 weeks from now and Tapscott - who knows.McKenzie, has a bright future and he could tag, play small back, ruck rove- whatever.And we need Spencer in the ruck with Jamar forward and second ruck.

There is a strong possibility that Roughead may have to play in the ruck. My best opening round team now is: FIRST ROUND TEAM –2010 B: CHENEY WARNOCK RIVERS HB: MacDONALD FRAWLEY STRAUSS C: BRUCE McDONALD TRENGOVE HF: GREEN MILLER BATE F: DAVEY JAMAR PETTERD R: SPENCER DUNN JONES I: SYLVIA McKENZIE MALONEY SCULLY

Rudeboy has just emailed me to confirm what Cam stated. Does not know how long he will be out but very disappointed he will miss playing with his brother Wona for a while. He has been very much looking forward to play with Aussie.

A sincrely GREAT effort from th young boys. We had several chances in the last 5 minutes missing reasonably easy goals. Ruddy kicking again. Rudeboy emailed me and said he spoke to Liam who said his shoulder popped out and they put it back in.Does not know how things will work out until cools down etc..Rudeboy said he was very upset as he was very much looking forward to playing with his brother -Wona. We have plenty of time to watch the magic of these two young men. Go Dees. Great try..

He could have played more experienced players if he had of chosen to

Very interesting point Schwabby makes re twitter, that the average games of 27 were by the team fielded against Essendon.Shows that Bails wants to get game time into these inexperienced players.

Because one does not have to travel in a plane and sit there.Some halmstring injuries are affected from the back thus sitting can be a problem therefore non sitting is SAFER.

Thanks for update WJ--By what you have stated the two talls-Meeson & Gawn are the major concerns-Gawn should be ready in about 10 weeks and poor John who knows. Feel very sorry for him. I sincerely hope he can get onto the park by mid year and shows us that he is worthwhile continuing. Any word on PJ,although we know he has a foot injury and is expected back in 5 weeks? And young Luke Tapscott and his recovery from hip surgery.Notification, if any would be very much appreciated.

It will be very interesting to see if they play him in Adelaide-- based on training today he will play.

Interesting to note the club has decided NOT to take Wona to Adelaide. the clubs website states that Forwards Austin Wonaeamirri and Matthew Bate will play an intra club practice match with VFL team Casey Scorpions tonight, after a decision was made not to play them in this weekends NAB Challenge game. Wonaeamirri missed the entire 2009 season with injury, and will be aiming to throw his hat into the ring for selection in Round 1. Better to be safe than sorry.And great to see that our Melbournefc website reported this - to our members and supporters FIRST.

Glad you have given up- too much to carry.Have a great day -we will come good -just we all have to be patient as Jimma says.

It is my understanding we signed-or the AFL signed up 3 years ago-I believe for a 5 year contract. However as the AFL has told me- the clubs can or organise change anytime. I know for a fact that alot of things that are very much changable we can do ourselves. It s called communication-- either Melbournefc with us or the MFC Communications dept with Bigpond.Therefore management of communication is needed.We will never ever be in a position to do all ourselves due to the sponsorship available.

Gee I think you have actually got on a winner at long last- Wack away-I think we as a club have been doing this since 1964.However Jimma will not hear of this anymore.However I think we would like one or two in the club that will WACK AWAY. Miller and Sylvia would if allowed. And any club needs players like them with younger ones around. As for me I can assure you- I will always WACK AWAY-may even change my ID to Wack away.I hope you are one whom does as one says. I can assure you I have done so--what about you?? And by the way Jimma wants 30000 before season starts- so you better buy 100. Get somethings right will ya. Regards- Wackaway-JCB

Where are you- Octogon??
