No, we didn't. Technically, we have to delist them, then re-pick them in the rookie draft. Most importantly, the players must agree to this.

Isn't this the way the 'Leading Teams' program works (or whatever it's called). I have a feeling with the new coach we may see a new leadership program installed. I'm liking the sounds of the 'My Way or the Highway' program.

Pfft. I'll need Bate and Newton to sweeten that pot.

He'd wanna hope so. Looking after Melbourne's midfield for the past two years isn't exactly a glowing reference on the ol' resume.....

Just not by MFC. GWS perhaps?

I'd be surprised if Campbell is kept beyond this year. With his niggling injuries, and the progress of Fitzpatrick, Gawn and Martin, I don't see him even getting a chance at a game next year. If he was recruited to help out with the ruck coaching, surely it'd be better to employ him as a part-time coach (or similar), rather than clogging a spot on the list?

Agreed. 3rd most efficient last year, haven't been bothered to do the stats for this year. Unfortunately, 'Melbourne's Efficient Forward Line' doesn't catch as many eyes as 'Melbourne Looking at <insert spud big-bodied forward here>'.

But Sheeds was facing him, so to him, it looked like the right.

This is the major issue for mine. Once Jones gets some real midfield support, I think the call can be made on his skills, which it seems most here believe to be subpar.

Who's to say that players haven't met with Neeld? Green won't have because he was in the US. Harry O ([censored]) and Malthouse are still playing season 2011, so it's apples and oranges, really. And 'a lot'? Who knows how many that is? Only Bob Murphy. Totally unwarranted criticism IMO.

Not a chance. I want Thor Bekkevold. http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/584

Who says we are? Even the article doesn't go that far: So far, it's simply scuttlebutt because it's accepted knowledge we don't have a big-bodied forward right now. Who's to say Neeld will even be chasing one?

Are you sure they wouldn't prefer a compo pick as opposed to pick 4? Surely having two picks in the top 12 in future drafts would be better than going from 7 to 8 in this years'? Especially if it is to be believed that this years' draft represents slim pickings.......

Exactly. Just listening - I was thinking: 'Jeez Schwabby, show something!' But watching the vision, he was livid. This has only just started.

Wouldn't be surprised if Beamer goes to the MRP after our first game with GWS next year.....

Jeez, I hope RDB tosses the coin when we play GWS at the 'G next year (it's gonna happen), and rips the jumper of Scully's back. Sir Ronald Dale Barassi keeps his promises.

Maxy was extracting the urine.....

Exactly. This is why we need to push for adequate compensation for this kid. IMO, needs to be above what Geelong got for Ablett. Rigging the B&F, anyone?

This. Jesus. It's a number. It's more for commentators and for the shop to gouge you out of an extra couple of bucks. In saying that, I am sitting pretty, with my 2010 13, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

Gold.

Jeely Kly. Now Sheeds is talking rubbish about NFL. Why did I even bother?

Burst a gut when old mate (don't care who) said "I've only met Scully for the first time yesterday".

So.....odds for Scully being the B&F? If we're gonna do it right, surely it'd have to be about $1.02?

I'd add Freak as well. Just make sure he looks 192cm tall.

This may be the issue.....
