Ive always said the melbourne boys could learn a lot off the storm boys and there culture. They have not missed a finals under Bellamy and have won 3 grand finals, yes 2 were taken off them but everyone knows where they stand in that team and when a new player comes in they know there spot straight away. I reckon Cameron Smith could even help out the 2 young captains. This is a guy who is a premiership captain, a world champion captain, state of origin captain and led his own country to victory. I dont know why we use them more. Collingwood picked there brains.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-11/rival-clubs-opposed-to-possible-demon-priority-pick It seems other clubs wont be very happy. It would be a joke for us to get a priority pick after this whole tanking saga.

Sylvia was probably out celebrating his great first half because he was probably happy that he finally showed something after 10 years.

Isnt Riva a restaurant in stkilda and not a nightclub?

I agree on that one. I have no idea why we got Royal back after he left once before. He had no solutions to priddis yesterday. It would be good if we could get someone who has just come out of the game. Brett Kirk would have been perfect or even Ling. Also if we had a fit Dawes int he team at least we would have 2 tall targets. I guess im holding out for r1 next year when our forward line will be Clarke, Dawes Hogan.

Im still in Neelds corner. Only because if we get in a new coach it means well another coach again and another game plan for the players to learn. We would need to get a premiership coach and I dont think they are out there. Also we are a toxic club they probably wouldn't want to go near us. Forget about Roos he wouldnt so it. Damien Hardwick has been coach of richmond since 2010. They havent played finals yet and they probably should have with there list. Brad Scott has been coach since 2010 and nth have only made the finals once last year and got smashed. Nth are with us near the bottom without a win either. These teams have had some thrashings to. I know not as bad as ours. Calrton are 0-3. If it wasnt malthouse coaching then questions would be asked about them. Im just saying instead of changing just stick with neeld now and let him finish what he is trying to do.

Id keep Jamar in this week. Only because Brogan is still there for GWS and Maxy cant ruck all day. Maybe drop Pederson for Gawn. Gawn can also play forward. Toumpas needs to go back to the 2's and find some ball and confidence. Sellar has to go. I forgot about Jordie. he would be handy this week.

If we win the medai will say they only beat GWS if we lose well the media will say it wasnt unexpected. I will be shattered if we lose to them. Surely we have the biggers bodies and class. Well Id like to think so. It would just be nice to see the new players, i doubt toumpas would play but Viney to experience a win and form him to belt out the song. Plus the media would be off our backs for a week.

I think Robbo has replaced Nick McCullum. I didnt even notice the song we ran out to. Oh well. I wonder if that was Peter Spargos first thing he thought of. Remove the bugular.

I noticed Scully is earning his millions by getting 11 possessions for the day

Well Patton has done his acl so he is one tall we dont have to worry about. poor kid but its a shame it wasnt Scully. I was impressed with Evans today. With some more games under him he will be ok. They may have scully, greene, bugg and Whitfield but they have to compete with Jones and Viney who are tough tough men and I think will want to make the presence felt.

I noticed there was no bugular today. I doubt he was having a week off. Has he gone with Cameron. Maybe they had been trying to get rid of him and cameron demanded he stay. I must say no one noticed around me that he wasnt here so he wasnt missed to much. It was good just to have a team run out to the song and thats it.

I reckon we just play him in the forward line. He is hard to match up on because of his height he can jump and he is a great mark. Mitch needs help and we need more goals kicked. Even if its just kicked in high he can at least bring it down to the ground for the small forwards. Play him one out.

Roos wouldnt want to go anywhere our team. I went today loved the first half but just sat there and the 2nd half. I really dont care. I leave games and im not angry maybe im just used to it. I just go and watch who performs well. I love watching viney run around, howes marking and clarke and some others. I jsut dont want to see many more 100 pt losses.

I cannot wait for r1 next year when Hogan lines up. Im shattered he isnt available this season as he would be great right now.

Is Maxy right to come in soon. Jamr needs help and when maxy did play those games he did ok. Matt Jones I was impressed with. he is taking his opportunity and Turlich but someone else should be taking that kick out not him.

That first half of Col's is what I want to see every week for 4 quarters. His marking and goal kicking was brilliant. He needs to start that way next week.

Yeah I will be on my own to. My family has spread themselves over australia for a week. Im going on behalf of them plus I didnt go last week thank god. I willbe cheering but geez I just hope its not ugly. On a side note happy birthday for Jack Viney today.

I really wish people would get over this sheedy thing. He has come out and said he would have refused the job. As for james McDonald well finally cameron schwab has admitted it was wrong how they handled that and probably shouldnt have gotten rid of him when they did. Which we always knew.

Someone told me he did this a few years ago. He did it out of the boot of his car. I didnt believe the person but holy hell. Thank god we ignored him. Its a shame our team cant look at essendon and the way they get together as a team and unite. Bloody hell I cannot believe they have beaten freo. Freo were all over them in the 1st half. Now essendon are 3-0. Holy well cant they just start losing.

Can we beat wc just to hear venom denham squirm on thursday when his team loses to a team that has been shocking. God that would make me happy.

Great work at training. From neelds presser you can tell he was happy and a bit surprised with the support. He was probably expecting the opposite. Lets hope that energy can go into tomorrows game. Jonesy tweeted this The support of the @melbournefc #demonarmy this morning was pretty special. Thankyou #inittogether #nevergiveup #firstandforever Trengove also tweeted the following Loved the loyalty & enthusiasm shown by the demon faithful this morning! Was very special & appreciated by all. #bestsupporters Also Jack Viney Fantastic to see the Melbourne faithful supporting the boys at training this morning. Impressive people that's for sure. #demonarmy I guess I will catch it on the news tonight. By the way Howcroft is in charge of channel 10 so he cant be our ceo

Danny Wielder who is a sydney 9 journo said on mmm brekafast he has more text messages. I have no ideas how a sydney journo got them but said he has about 6 mths worth. Anyway Im just hoping for a essendon loss tonight.

So the first question to neeld tomorrow. So Mark why is watts dropped?

Wow if those text messages are anything to go by the golden boy could be in trouble.
