bahaha as if Roos would coach Melbourne

GNF you are the only the only man I have ever loved

LOL the first of the 'blithering Barret' meme

agreed, i reckon he is one of our best assets on topic, we haven't had a quality crumber since the early days of Davey

exactly. We have 4 new midfielders, put them all in round one and the blokes who have been consistently giving us nothing can go to Casey.

so do I, there has to be a few that the new management simply don't rate, but could get us something.. and at this stage it's 4+Hogan as INS and only Sylvia OUT

youve got to be kidding lots of talk no action in the last 7 years

i really am curious now, who exactly do you think you are to condescend over everyone else with a sense of grandiosity bestowed only by you? [censored]

you might as well have just said anyone who is not me is a knucklehead

he didn't make mine but he is not far off.. as we all know the best 22 all fit basically never happens so I would expect Dunny to play most games.. never been a big fan but the last couple of seasons he has shown a bit, I like his presence, offsets a bit of the bullying that goes on with all our young kids when they are up against seasoned teams.

yep, it is the reader's fault for not making the adjustment for his stuff up, spare us please

I was a touch young to fully enjoy Jaka, but even so, stack up their highlight reels side-by-side and its Jurrah for me.. nothing compared to that roar and hum of excitement when someone floated one in his direction inside 50 (or outside for that matter) you just knew that absolutely anything could happen and it very often did.

good post. Agree totally with this bit. I'm also a Blease fan, kid has a bag of tricks.

sheesh just asking probably the player I have most enjoyed watching EVER

how could anyone argue that compo is a joke one of the biggest weapons in the game and THE poster boy.. for an early second rounder, he should be worth pick 1 FFS

another poster just reminded me of this... has there been any developments whatsoever on this front? anyone got anything?

nice work! I am so pumped. We all recognised three facts: 1. our midfield is putrid 2. theoretically we are solid everywhere else 3. theoretically improving the midfield through recruiting should have a huge immediate impact 4. we have the ability to make waves with a good fist of draft picks in our pocket (again) so what has Roosy and PJ gone and done? Exactly what the doctor ordered cannot wait til round 1 sportsbet is playing $11 to make finals.. i'm gonna plunge two hundred (maybe)

yeah some might call that a minor omission

oh sorry pick 11 that changes everything

yeah because we have produced exactly zero Joel Selwoods in the last 20 years or longer

as I said earlier if it was sweetened a bit it would be appropriate.. it is probably 'overs' but it is all about what you NEED we NEED at this stage to get some experience in there so we can compete and start building momentum, and we have shown time and time again complete failure to develop first round draft picks losing Sylvia has accentuated this I have had a gut full of 'elite young draft picks' we have a list full of them

yeah you're right we'd be better off getting another Gysberts

I would say that you need to have about 10 midfielders, plus 2 spare for injury Of course at any one time a few are on the bench and a few are roating off flanks and pockets etc You really need 3-4 excellent ones but the other 6-7 need to be adequate or you get shown up Our group is now: N.Jones, M.Jones, Trengove, Toumpas, Viney, McKenzie plus Mitchie, Tyson and hopefully Vince with Grimes, Watts, Kent, Barry, Evans, Blease, Bail and Magner also possibly playing roles I am starting to feel very confident we can establish a very solid 10 every week out of that group, which will be a remedy for our biggest weakness Then you have what is no doubt going to be an awesome forward line and we already know a solid back 6 Of course a master coach running it all Feeling pretty excited

not if it is sweetened a little bit and one of our other picks are upgraded even if not It would be worth it IMO

His highlight reel for his first 2 years is probably better than anyone on our list
