The Good Sylvia Watts first 10 minutes Howe improving The band I think it was My friend the Chocolate Cake singing our theme song just before the pre match stuff finished on keyboard. I liked the version Bugle boy getting drowned out at the end by the siren When the siren went The Bad Getting smashed out of the centre Brad Green missing a goal that he would have kicked 99 out of 100 times last year Green dropping an easy chest mark 2 minutes later Morton twice in the last quarter not contesting with Brown and letting him fly for 2 marks Howe kicking a goal and only 1 player going over to him The Ugly Our kick outs. Even I know that we do a little kick to ourselves then kick it out near the boundary Watching poor Rivers getting thrashed by Cloke The last quarter The players apologising again on radio to fans for the loss. Stop aplogising and do something about it Nathan Jones deciding to handball and turned it over

Its ok Damo was talking about Lake not being at the bulldogs next year.

He kept on defending her. Thats what I cant work out. This girl has screwed with your life and all he did was defend her tonight. When on the 7pm project tonight and once the interview finished and she said how she lied then later tweeted I said I was joking, aves Hughes tweeted she didnt say that Rickly believed that she did. I believe Daves Hughes over her anyday and yet Ricky believes her to. I had a chuckle when he said how he basically kept Nick R and Del santo off the pages then expected loyalty from them and was disappointed when they didnt support him. Even Sam Newman has got himself dragged into it. It is a train wreck and unfortunately its just going to keep on in the news. Who knows what will come up in a few months.

Anyone else feeling nervous that on the Footy Show tonight they are naming a player who probably wont be at there club next season.

The thing is I dont care who says it the fact is its another person saying he will probably go even though he said Scully has tried to get out of it. Most footy people think he is going. The thing is I know he will get a heap of money chucked at him, probably to much for a 3rd year player but I just hope he realises it isnt everything. The thing is why would he want to go to GWS. Thye are going to be worse than Gold Coast and wont play finals for years. Id like to think next season we will be well cemented in the top 8. I reckon Tom would be the sort of player that would get frustrated with lack of wins. Please stay Tom.

I wonder if Mick will say it after there match that Melbourne treat the queens birthday match as there grand final. Or do you reckon Ed will say it on his breakfast show then add we always let them have it as a home game. Or I reckon Maxwell will come out and say it. Im hoping that someone from melbourne comes out and says its probably our biggest match crowd wise for the year but we dont treat it as a grand final

The good The debut of our newies. They were great and deserve to be there mext week Jack Watts mark in the final quarter over lovett murray and that beautiful mark and goal he did Jurrah kicking the beautiful goal to seal the game Moloneys running goal in the dying seconds Our captain being played foward and kicking 4 Rivers down back was great MacDonald down back was fantastic Martins ruck work just gets better Finally kicking the ball instead of handballing it The essendon fans turning on Hirdy Essendon fans leaving when Gawn took the mark Mckenzie and Gysberts. Got pb's tonight with there possessions and worked hard Scully just being there Dean Baileys reaction. He just let all the emotion outand it was great to see him happy I reckon Jetta and Bennell took another step tonight. I was impressed especially with jetta The bad Sylvia getting injured Trengoves banana that went out on the full The ugly Our handballing in the 1st quarter

It was exciting to see Max Gawn finally debut. I reckon we can play him in the foward line because he is just so tall. I know he needs to work on his kicking. But the poor guy was probably so nervous shooting for what would have been the wining goal. Anyway his ruck work seemed to be ok and everyone around me was just cheering for him so hard and wanting the ball to be kicked to him. Listening to triple m while at the game they were getting excited to. anyway I reckon he will get a bit of a cult status and this may be harsh but im glad to see him in the foward line and not newton. Go Max!

He was fantastic tonight and we missed him when he was out for those few weeks. He isnt afraid to go back for the ball or hit a contest. He is also great as the third man up. I reckon he is turning inot an elite backman. Great work Jarred and keep it up.

Funny you bring this up because I was listening to mmm on friday night and they had Jack Grimes in the box and Garry actually asked him about this. He said to Jack about rumours going around that Tom doesnt sit with the other injured players and instead sits on his own. Garry said to Jack please tell me that isnt true. Jack said its rubbish because they sat together at the nth game and the saints game. I guess these stories will go around until Tom makes an announcement on what he is doing.

2 questions id like answered please. Does Scully look like he can come back into the seniors or does he need another run for Casey? Has Gawn put some muscle on him. I admit I dont go to Casey games so I havent seen him since he was drafted and very skinny. Could he go up against Hille, Bellchambers and Ryder next week?

There was nothing wrong with having Olivia Newton John as pre match entertainemnt. She is an australian icon and cancer survivor who was happy to do this for us. It deosnt matter that she wasa carlton supporter. That wasnt the point of the night. The point was to raise money for her brilliant cancer centre that she has created to make people feel a little bit better who are going through treatment. Her centre offers the relaxation side of things such as massage, yoga and meditation. Jim as we all know uses alternative therapies to help him with his battle so of course he would want to help this centre. He probably also thought that it might get more people to our home game. The crowd seemed to enjoy it. What gave me a lift was seeing Jim come out on the stage. Dont care he couldnt sing but 3 days ago this man was in surgery having more brain tumours removed. Its a shame his spirit and courage doesnt rub off on the players. On another thing though have we hired Robbo as a match day person or something. The last few home games he has bobbed up for 1/2 time interviews and gets his head on the screen. Also thank god we have got rid of that flag raising crap. Well done to people who complained enough to make the club realise this looks stupid.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/jim-stynes-date-with-olivia-newton-john/comments-fn7x8me2-1226062966598 Jimmy has just had more surgery on his brain to remove more tumours and the first thing he thinks about is to make sure he can make it to the game friday night. If you don't have a good excuse to go to the game then every melbourne supporter should get along. Its our home game and we are hosting carlton. Good luck Jimmy with your next bout of surgery and I hope the dees can put on a good show.

The one big positive I realised yeasterday. Thank god Kosi isnt playing for us. Even the saints fans in front of me get frustrated. The debut of Evans. 27 possies and not afraid to get the ball. I know he has a little bit of work to do on his passing but he looks good. Watts just uses the ball smartly. He doesnt blaze away he just holds back until a good option comes. Martins ruck work is getting better. He has a great leap and he is probably realising now how much Jamar works.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/rivals-target-out-of-favour-demon-cale-morton/story-e6frf9jf-1226058054325 Interesting that he is out of contract at season end and clubs are looking at him.Not sure if he would be a GWS target but I think he is a good player and the knee injury last year hs out him back a bit. But interesting that Brad Gotch had a bit of a go at him about his motivation. I thnk he is a better player than Jetta or maybe even Bennell and maybe annoyed they are getting chosen ahead of him.

Im sorry I dont care what you say we missed Bate today. I know he didnt set the world on fire last week but he is a good lead up player and can kick goals from outside 50 and he also sets them up to with his long kicking. After 1/4 time we had no structure and when Watts went back we had no one. It should be on Jurraha' shoulders to kick a bag every week.

We do not man up therefore we arent putting any pressure on. Last week I noticed it but it didnt matter as much because we were winning by a lot. But today after 1/4 time the players were trailing there opponents and being led to the ball. To many times north had 2 loose men in there foward line and when they kicked out and played down the centre and just kicked it to the loose man it was to easy. We need to man up!

I have been frustrated with Green all year. This year his kicking for goal has been woeful. Years ago he would be the player you would want to have the ball to kick you a winning goal. Its not because we lost its been happening all year. He isnt a captain like a Judd or even a Jonathan Brown where you know if your team is down then they will put themselves on the line and go in and get the ball. Even Neitz would go in hard like when he crunched Luke McCabe that day to set a statement. At quarter time i didnt even notice him on the field. Last week we saw him grab the jumper for pride. Well where was that today. Moloney played a poor game and was well held and he can do that because he has been awesome this season so we needed Green to stand up. I saw nothing. Its a big 5 games coming up. I would expect our captain to do a bit more.

Maybe we made an improvement in his game. What has frustrated me is all week AFL officials have said we have to protect the head and we dont want players concussed. Thats the thing Dangerfield wasnt concussed enough to miss a week and he kicks 6. The doc may have gone early with the concussion because with this new rule if he put him back on he would have been in trouble. Its just frustrating that we dont have jack for 2 more weeks.

I'M 46, NEVER SMOKED I'VE GOT LUNG CANCER Its on the Herald Sun website now but will be in tomorrows edition. Its good to get an update to see how he is going and its great the club is around him. I can't believe all his black hair has gone. I know there are people all over the world battling cancer and the media tend to focus on just the well known but as a melbourne fan Sean was a very special player for our club. It just frustrates me how the people who look after themselves get the cancer and people can smoke for 40-50 years and nothing happens to them. Im not saying every smoker deserves lung cancer and no one deserves to get cancer but you try to be healthy and sometimes it just doesnt pay off. Good luck Sean!

There is nothing nore we can do about Trengove. Its a shame but we have a game to win on saturday. Im hoping that Dean gets the focus back on the task ahead. The next few weeks are huge. We have stkilda, Carlton. essendon and Collingwood. So hopefully the boys are angry and fired up and come out and do to nth what we did to the crows. At least Trengove gets a break and when he comes back for the queens birthday game he will be fresh. Hopefully our supporters go to etihad on saturday and outnumber the nth fans and show them we are behind them.

Im please the clun has got David Gallaby. He is a top lawyer and even maybe a qc. But Im glad the club has the expense to do it. I dont know if he will get off. I thought if you appeal the tribunals decision you have to have new evidence. Anyway I hope he does get off or the very least get his weeks reduced. I hope they spoke to the melbourne storm because they have had issues in the past with these tackles and maybe they could help the demons with a ninsight on what evidence to use to get him off. But what I really like is how the the players have got around Jack. Not only the melbourne players but ones from the other teams. Joel Selwood tweeted, Steven Baker and mitch Robinson tweeted about the disgraceful decision. Maybe we could all protest out the front. Even Jack Watts mum tweeted about it. Good luck Jack

I think thats great. I know she barracks for Carlton but its great that Jim managed to get her. 3 songs she will be singing. They said she will sing before the game and at half time. Her and Jim were on Neil Mitchells program this morning. I only heard a bit of it on the news. There is also an interview in todays herald sun. My mum is excited already. Hopefully she drowns out the bugle boy.

just watching one week at a time where Brad Green is the special guest, Robert Walls could not believe that Trengove has been suspended let alone get 3 weeks. He said thats the way you should tackle and he wouldnt have meant to hurt Dangerfield on purpose. He, quarters and darcy compared trengove with what campbell brown did when he was hitting players behind the play. Said melbourne should definitely appeal and he should get off. They showed some tweets from players about it and Joel Selwood said it was a joke although he had appeared to take it off his twitter probably didnt want a fine. But hopefuuly we appeal.

As soon as it happened I thought Trengove would be reported but I thought only a reprimand at best. Im sure Jack didnt mean to concuss him and 3 weeks is a disgrace. If Dangerfield plays this week then Jack should be let off. Im not sure weather its a risk fighting it. he would be a huge loss for 3 weeks. Maybe melbourne could speak to the storm because they have had to deal with the chicken wing tackles before. Trengove would be a massive loss. I dont know to who would replace him
