gosh he really struggled at training didnt he? But the poor kid has now got the reality of a footballer and i guess his fitness will get to the level its meant to be. At least he had the others there to help him.

Excuse my dumb question but what time does the draft actually begin?

Stevo mentioned tonight on 7 dont discount melbourne going after beams and may involve there pick 3. No way should we do that. I just know he will want to go back home.

i agree. Beams doesnt want to stay in melbourne. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Does he play with the pies for 1 more year then walk or does he have a year out.

Ed just said his dad is suffering from cancer so probably shouldnt be laughing that a player is leaving there club. But brisnane or gc would have to give up a fair bit.

The Wiz was just awesome to watch. From that collingwood game to the hanger he took against richmond and how good was he in the 98 finals series. That was so exciting. His games against the saints and crows were awesome. How good was it to go to the footy back then and watch our forward line of Lyon, Schwarz neitz and Wiz. I was shattered when he left to go to WA.

I just love his long kicking and his long range goals. But im loving roosy's comments on the unnamed recruiter who said we made a massive mistake not getting kelly. Roosy said these comments in his presser yesterday. “I haven’t actually got a phone call yet. I’m still looking forward to that phone call,” Roos said. “I’m definitely looking forward to speaking to him and just setting his path on his next vocation.” Its good to see he is defending his decision and our club.

On one hand i can see why Jack would want to leave but on the other hand I would be really annoyed because I just feel he owes some loyalty for us being so patient with him. Sometimes you just want to go up to Jack and shake him and say we know you have talent for gods sake let us see it. However the new coach may not want him and may think we could get something better in a trade which would be a blow to his ego.

We need some of the new boys enthusiasm rubbing off on him. Look at Terlich, Matt Jones and even Chris Dawes. Even Toumpas is rapt to be playing AFL. But Terlich and Jones have gone in put the effort in every week and get the numbers.

Lets face it we hung Watts out to dry when we made him a poster boy of the club, put him out here as a skinny 18 year old kid still doing year 12 on out biggest game of the year when collingwood were doing well and they just belted him around. Look at essendon and how they have handled Daniher this year. They havent thrown him out there. I know the talent is in there somewhere. Its up to him to get it out. I will be disappointed if we lost him even worse the club he goes to turn into something special.

I refuse to listen on thursday and fridays now. I just heard the last bit yesterday when KB said he cant defend greg on his hatred of us. The thing is why should it bother Greg on who we recruit. He doesnt follow us. Also we have only recuited Byrnes and rodan who are 28. Rodan we got for nothing. What about Jesse Hogan, Viney and Toumpas that we bought in. They arent exactly old. But apparently we are the bears. I wish I heard that comment though. Good call. I wanted to ring up and say we may have recruited a couple of 28 year olds but at least they didnt get beaten in a time trial by there coach like Murray Newman did in the same week he allegedly assualted someone. But the funny thing is has someone made him realise his beloved eagles picked up Morton. Good luck with that. Try supporting them when they have the most frustrating player.

Sure the guy looks like a bogan but at least he has seen his team play finals and win premierships. I know once we start winning people will lay off us, but Im tired of Jack Watts copping it all the time and no one respects us because we havent done anything great on the field in the past few seasons. I just hope that we have a great season and shut people up.

Look I dont care about the blazers but as Jon Ralph said its typical melbourne. Us fans cop enough stereotyping and this just adds to it. Id rather they focus on getting another sponser. Also round 1 in a few few weeks and I d not want to see bugle boy there. Im sick of getting crap about that as well.
