My question is why did we get Royal back from stkilda and why did stkilda get rid of him. I wish we did go after Kirk but Freo got him. Id love for Lenny Hayes to retire and we get him. We need someone who is fresh out of the game.

So is Dawes a walk up start for next sunday? Does he look match fit?

Didnt Barry go to carlton?

Hopefully Dawes plays well and kicks a bag. Would love a report on Toumpas during the game. I hope he shows something and also Blease.

Withdrawn this morning. Good news for Jones as he may have been the man to shut Jones down. Plus he has been in good form. May lose under 100 now.

Former Melbourne Football Club legend Peter 'Crackers' Keenan says Jack Watts will be @Fremantle_FC in 2014 @913sportfm So he can take his troubles to freo there. On a serous note I hope he can be back in time for the richmond match.

Geez Blease must be getting frustrated being in then out. I know when he gets the ball he can run so fast into attack but yet when he is defensive he never finds that same pace. I noticed it last week, But I still think he is some value.

I find it amusing that he revealed that other clubs are spreading gossip about essendon. Im just picturing professional grown men talking gossip with other professional grown men.

According to SEN Fitzpatrick and Dawes are a few weeks away. I will be happy if we lose under 100 points.

Is anyone annoyed that we paid a guy big bucks and twice now he has had to miss half a season due to injury. Look I Mitch has been great and I like him but I guess im just frustrated that he is injured once again. Why cant it happen to one of our lesser good players. I know it isnt his fault and he would want to be out on the park. Im just frustrated because he started off well and his marking is really good and he provides a target. Now if we bring in Dawes people will say we rushed him back to early. Why cant we just get a break on something Cant we sneak Hogan in. Hurry up 2014

is there a link to it. It will be fascinating,

In defence of Caro when that Neeld. Davey and Misfud story was going a round at least she rang Mark herself to check it out unlike other media people who were quite happy to keep the rumour going and didnt check.

Of course Moloney was going to do well yesterday. he was coming up against his old club. We know the good side to him but there is also a down side to him. Lets face it there wasnt much competition. We will see how he goes next week against the swans midfield.

Forget it we are toxic. I wish everyone would get over sheedy. he would have knocked back the job and wants nothing to do with the club. Mark Williams no way. We dont need a coach like him. Look at Hardwick he has been coach since 2009 and his list is talented than our on paper anyway and he is yet to make finals. Interesting comments from Malthouse. He would have walked a long time ago. This was his commenst after his game. "The day he walked into the job, when you think (of) what took place at Melbourne, I think it’s a credit that he has stood up and remained sane for a start off," Malthouse said. "I don’t think any coach has been through what he's been through in the space of 15 months. "Put it this way, if that had've been my first 15 months, there's no way known I'd be here, because that is so difficult … "Welcome to AFL football, I suppose, under those circumstances (it is) very difficult. "But I think he's done a pretty good job, given where Melbourne were, what's happened, (and) a lot of it's out of his control. "But (if) you get through this, you get through a lot of things."

Come on Royal sort out the midfield. We cant get a clearance.

If we win we can shoot right up the ladder. Its so important. Come on boys

Well im blaming Scwab who I have noticed is holidaying in NY. But I dont get this cream. Why does Jack need to use anti obesity cream

Just got an email about a members deal with the Herald Sun. Said they are a sponsor. Since when I don't recall reading about it. Anyone told Robbo this because he can't keep making stories up about us.

If we can we can shoot right up the ladder and go past stkilda and nth as im assuming they would lose to hawthorn. Please melbourne just win again.

He is doing our game again this weekend

i wonder what the coach's message to Blease is. Probably just back yourself with your pace but try not to turnover the ball. At least now without Mitch we have to think about our kicks. We usually just bomb it into Mitch and presume he can do it all. Maybe it could be a positive only slightly. I know Maxy hasnt played to many games but we have seen him hold a mark. Rodan can be our crumbing forward. Howe has shown he can do more than take a hanger. If we can keep Brown quiet then that will help. I know we can win but I just hope we dont fall back into old habits and we cop a belting. The media experts will be lining up again.

Anyone see ch10 sport tonight. neeld was asked some questions then someone asked him about Watts shaving off his beard. Neeld just shook his head in disbelief and wasnt happy with the question. "Fair dinkum, sometimes you feel like saying 'I don't really want to dignify that with an answer'," he said. "If we're going to sit around and talk about the fact that some players have beards and some don't, come on guys. "I'm happy to talk about the game, but for me as a senior coach, come on."

We could be back on the bottom of the ladder if GWS beat the suns and we lose. Geez I hope we can take the last quarter momentum in this weeks game. Its a huge chance to win on the road something we have struggled with. No Mitch this week but Maxy showed he can take a mark up forward.

Dawes was on mmm on sunday and they asked him why he chose melbourne when he could have gone to a more successful club. He stated 2 reasons. 1- Because of Neeldy and there great relationship they had at collingwood and he knew what Neeld was like 2- He said when melbourne got Mitch Clarke he thought they paid way to much for him and he probably wasnt worth the money. He didnt think he was a great player. But then he saw Clarke play and before he got injured Dawes said he was actually a good player and surprised him and when the offer came to join melbourne Dawes thought if we can both play forward we could do some damage to opposition teams.

I noticed Mark Robinson back tracked on his story he put him in the column. Apparently he apologised on afl360 and said the story he wrote about Mark Neeld and Rawlings having a blue was incorrect. Well im sure when you checked out this story and I'd assume you would have and they told you it wasnt true then why would you run with it. jade Rawlings was on harfs show and said it wasnt rue and he rang Mark to tell him so. So it seems chief football writers of both papers dont check the facts.
