And yet still nothing from MFC. [censored] me, how long does it take to put something up? (Spoiler: about 30 seconds.)

Come on, be fair, it's 2 games.

He did. He's been in Adelaide for a while now. This news is that he's actually quit the MFC. Once again, just when we think 2012 has a silver lining, it turns out to be mercury and we get quicksilver poisoning.

The posters on here saying we should have gone for Sheedy and Malthouse must have rocks in their heads. Sheedy was coming off a horrible period at Essendon, where with a half-decent list, he took them to 15th then 12th. Favourite son, not going to be renewed. He was obviously not up to it at that stage. Doubt he is even now. Next year will be telling, with GWS not having Choco anymore. I'd be very surprised if we see any improvement from them. And as other posters have said in this thread, what exactly has Malthouse done, other than be pumped up by the media?

Nick Smith. Who else could have 3 years without a game then play in a final?

1. Jones 2. Howe 3. Trengove 4. Rivers 5. Clark

Yeah, in charge of list management. Nothing to do with recruiting. Not sure what your point is here.......

This wouldn't be young Addam Maric by any chance?

Carlton: Delisted: B Ratten

Casey finals? Hammering home the point that players MUST EARN games?

Game available on iView. Don't know if they've kept the final footage or not, just rewatching now. http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/25361 edit: Helps if you include the link. Derp.

Stick a fork in this idea, and thank your deity of choice. If we'd actually reverted properly to Baileyball, I shudder to think what I'd do. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/146067/default.aspx

AFAIK, he can, but Port would be stupid to do so.

He won't be traded. He's a Free Agent. I have my doubts that we'd offer what Port is willing to, so he is free to walk.

Apparently Port have sounded out Brent's manager. Port Adelaide target Melbourne Demons club champion Brent Moloney to add some midfield grunt Here is the question: Which camp do you belong to: No way, never, he's a club champion! OR Bring on more compensation picks! Or possibly one of the proverbial Fifty Shades?

This is it exactly. From first-hand experience, International enrolments are down 40% over previous years. Main reasons: Strong $AU Perceived racism Horrible agents Universities popping up all over Asia No promises re: PR. osilisk, I'm not sure which International students you've been talking to, but from first-hand experience they are some of the cheapest people I've ever met. Which is saying something, given my housemate and I will take a hipflask to the pub to save money. No chance we'd spend $500 on a night out. Edit: clarity

The Weapon.

That's partly the issue. Jordie can deliver with class, if he's allowed to handball. I assume that Neeld has noted that kicking is a weak point, and so he is under orders to kick whenever he can. He's one of the few in the side whose kick ratio has actually increased this year. And I'd agree with rpfc. Easily in the first five picked when fit.

I would literally be [censored] bricks.

You have to be kidding. Has obviously been told to kick more. His handballing is actually very good, and he tackles ferociously. And as Sam Blease would say, he always cracks in and has a crack. Will be a required part of this team for at least the next 2-3 years, easily. I wouldn't be surprised if he was part of a Melbourne premiership team. After all, Geelong won 3 premierships with Ling......

Interestingly: Bail copped a reprimand for a sling tackle. Doughty did the same thing: not even a free. Fletcher banged Tapscott into the fence in round ten: no free. Something to ponder.

Is it possible that he just read the game better than his man, so it looked like he had no opponent?
