I was thinking the other day that we only received one and that was at the start of the year. Normally you get one around July and then you get an end of year one. My membership is the $50 mfc/mcc one. I should get the magazine because the membership category is recognised by the afl and goes towards our total. We have 4 memebrs in our house. We should at least get one. Just wondering if others got one. Although I'm still waiting to receive my renewal form come to me in the mail.

I think its great. It must have been true that when the potential candidates were interviewed they were asked if they would trade trav. Personally i think he has to go. He is a receiver, a tool off the field, has only finished in the top 10 once in his 10 years, compare that to riewoldt who has won 4 already. He is not in the leadership group and only plays well when we win. If he is at melbourne next year it's because no one else wanted him. The sad thing is no other club is interested. Which tells that they don't think highly of him either. I think buchanan from sydney would be a great replacement.

Typical, he announces it at the best and fairest so he can be up on stage and everybody will clap him and slap him on the back and he gets all the attention. He will be loving it. Its funny how now Judd is out of the race we are suddenly dealing with Robbo again. He should be relieved that Judd isn't coming to melbourne because he may have been traded. Robbo just some advice next season stop acting like a sook on the field, chase harder, stop diving and get that bad attiude look off your face that you have been wearing for the past few weeks.

On what they say about us missing out on Judd What did Dean Bailey have to say What the winners said Anything else mentioned about danners Who presented the trophy to the best and fairest winner. Thanks.

Yeah congrats neale. It sounds like it will be presented to him at the footy tomorrow at the presidents twighlight dinner. Still miss you and your humour but glad you can still come back to the club.

I'm happy with that. I wanted someone different. I'm glad they just didn't go with sheeds just for his name. I either wanted hardwick or bailey. He obviously did a very good presentation. Everyone laughed when the hawks appointed clarko. Bailey has been involved with essendon in the 2000 premiership and the port one as well. In all the time he has been assistant coach he has only missed the finals once, so he has the finals experience. I know he wasn't the main coach but he would have had a huge part in the wins. I'd say well done melbourne and I'm looking foward to next year. I know there will be people who wanted someone else but I think we should get behind him and support him. Good luck Dean.

Yeah I saw it. I'd hate to lose him and I'd really really hate it if Collingw&%$ got him. It would shatter me to see him in black and white. It also sounded like he went to the club to talk about his contract and he was disappointed they didn't come to him first. Can't they give him a two year deal with an automatic option for an extra year in there. He has been with us for 11 years and only 28. I'd really don't see a problem giving him the 3 years. I know he has had this knee injury but over pre season he will get that cleaned out. Hopefully the new coach can talk him into staying.

Interesting. I'm not sure who'd I'd want. But what happened to Viney's name. He had a meeting at Harris's house and wasn't mentioned since. Also what about mark Williams. I mean he's proved he can coach well, I don't care itr's only Sandringham but it's also showed he can work well with the melbourne players as well as the sandy ones and he's won 3 flags. I'd would have liked to see a melbourne name in there. I know Connoly played for us but Viney would have been great.

On before the game tonight they mentioned that collingwood are already preparing a defence. get this they may be saying that Bell was concussed when his head hit carols leg and I heard someone else say that on radio. If Johnson didn't do what we did then bell wouldn't be in the position to hit Nathan's leg he was probably knocked out cold straight away. I couldn't care less how bad Johnson feels. So he should. I want him to get at least 4 weeks. But knowing the afl he will get only 2.

Isn't int he footy record or announced somewhere. He'd better have won it

I would just like to congratulate Robbo on this milestone. I know people want him traded but he has done well for a bloke who was delisted and came back onto the list. I love his screamers he takes and the goals he kicks that only he can. Robbo loves the melbourne footy club and you can tell by the way he speaks so passionately about it, also he is a decent guy. So congrats Robbo and hope there are many more to come.

Aaron Davey has been given two weeks for his retaliatory strike as reported on SEN. Hopefully he learns his lesson. I thought he'd only get a week. We will miss his speed but at least we aren't fighting for a finals spot. Meanwhile, in keeping with its policy of protecting those who hit Melboune taggers, Simon Black got a reprimand for his whack on Godfrey.

No worries about Fevola this week - Not playing - hes been suspended - his future at Carlton in doubt. One less worry for Bomber Riley.

I loved all his speeches he made at family days, best and fairest nights I always left feeling pumped. He loved the club so much. Loved when we knocked over geelong by 1 point at skilled, loved all his reactions in the coaches box, I loved it when we beat the bulldogs and he ran down down the stairs celebrating then hugged everyone and his sense of humour. Loved 2000 when we beat carlton and it was great how he handled the 2002 bali bombings with arma and febes and with the Troy Broadbridge tragedy. I'm sure there are many more but can't think of them.

Mark Riley is caretaker coach. Has been confirmed

Poor Neale, it sucks because there is no way he deserved to leave melbourne that way. The players have let him down. Thanks neale for everything. I didn't think your coaching career at melbourne would finish this wasy. Tomorrow will be a sad sad night.

Todd Viney. It would be great to have a melbourne person back at the club. He would soon toughen some of these players up.

Thanks Neale for your service. It's sad in a way. He is a great guy and he did not deserve to finish his last season like this. Hope some of the players see this as a wake up call. You have let him down by insipid performances. Now hopefully we can get someone who will toughen us up like a voss. We do not need Connolly or Harvey and not Pagan

Last week they put it up on half time. Email the club because I bought some against adelaide and forget to look at the board. They will email you back. Just use the general enquiries address.

I was watching it takes two last night on channel 7 and they showed David Hobson who is an opera singer and a massive melbourne supporter in the melbourne rooms talking to robbo and neita. He took along his son and his partner on the show mimi mcpherson and they showed him sitting in the grandstand and all of that. After his performance he said he was all pumped up because the demons knocked off the pies who he hates. Then he said I invited a few players along tonight and then they went to flash wheels, and pickett. I just got a shock cause when I was watching it I didn't excpet 3 melbourne players to be shown in the audience.

http://afl.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArti...px?newsId=44912 Neale should feel happy that captain has come out to support him not that Neita would ever come out to bag him. But it's good to see the support shown.

Here are some of mine. Robbo's 7 goals. Great to see him back. Matty Bate marking everything and kicking that beautiful goal from outside 50 Godders goal. Garry Lyon said at the time you know melbourne are in for a good day when Godders can kick a goal on his right foot Holland towelling up Rocca Neitz demanding to come on in the last quarter. What a leader. Did a few nice leads in the 4th term Brock. I just love him Bizzell- I love his run off the back line wheatley. i do like him and his long kicks are awesome. I feel more confident when he does the kick ins. Walking past the pies supporters after them game with the great satisfaction we beat them. and laghing at Joffa's tea cosy he had on his head when I watched the replay later on. I'm sure there are many more I've missed.

You can tell that the players love him. I reckon almost every senior player has come out and said don't blame the coach. After the game when Danners waited for them to come off they all ran up and hugged him and patted him on the back and stuff. You can tell that they really want to win for him. It will be interesting to see what they do.

Thanks for that. I annoyed I couldn't make it. Hope you really stirred up those pies ferals at young and jacksons. Could you tell a bit more with what danners said.
