Agree. Scully would be on the same amount as Gaz but I know who is more exciting. Ablett is a captain who leads perfectly. Scully is vc and no where near as good as leader.

Well hopefully Dawes can get up for r2. Anyone see the full article on this story in the sun. Im not a subscriber but is this another crack at us. Please Explain: Melbourne Moneyball recruiting strategy could backfire Glenn McFarlane From:Herald Sun March 28, 2013 12:36PM Increase Text Size Decrease Text Size Print Email IN the first installment of a weekly series, Glenn McFarlane writes an open letter to a target who needs to be asked the hard questions in footy. DEAR MELBOURNE,

Cant wait. Im looking forward to seeing Viney and Toumpas strut there stuff and hopefully the return of big Mitch. On the down side we probably get the bugular back. But it will be great to see the ox on the g again even if it is just to deliver the match ball.

Nope I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with what Garry wrote. Lets face it Rivers would be loving it down at the cattery. He probably will play finals and be involved with in lots of wins. The last few years it wouldnt be fun being a melbourne player. I have no issues with Rivers leaving because he still played well and never sooked unlike another player that left.

Sadly I think yes. This was a tweet from Rodan earlier. David Rodan ‏@DROD_15 4h Getting my club suit on for @melbournefc Commencement Dinner tonight #blazerpresentation #cantwait… http://instagr.am/p/XG-cw1iZFr/

I wondered when our season launch is on. But just read on twitter its on tonight. The club just tweeted Don just made his speech. Also Life members recipients are: Laurie Mithen, Brian Wilson, Andrew Leoncelli, Mark Jamar, Jackie Emmerton and Bernie Dunn. Anyway any feedback on people who were there would be interesting.

Of course he was found not guilty. Most of the people involved were drunk so the witnesses weren't exactly reliable, he is also a tribal leader and he is a footy player. He was never going to get convicted. But doesnt he have a domestic charge to fight. he will get off that as well. Now he must get himself back on track and regain control of his life.

I can imagine Sylvia leaving and be like Rivers and go to a club that plays finals consistently.

Dont have pay tv. Will it be on there website or something.

I remember just after Neita got captain and the Ox vice, telling him at the family day he should have been given the captaincy Mind you I had no idea about his addiciton. But it would be good to see him help out Hogan or even Dawes.

Ok so I ventured down to Casey and watched the game. I was up the end where we were kicking in the 1st quarter. From what I observed our first quarter was great, We lost it in the 2nd quarter where we were terrible. Our defence was just not functioning well. We had instances where stkilda would run the ball through the middle and there were saints players just own there own lining up for goal. We over used the handball and turned it over. Davey is out of contract this year and unless something changes he will be gone. He still lets players get inside his head and is sucked in big time. Its easy to play on Davey. You just niggle him and he loses all focus. But there were some good things. Jamar did well int he ruck, I reckon we just let Dunn take the kick out every time. He just goes right up the middle and clears it out. If Rodan can stay fit he will be valuable. I just cant wait for Hogan to play next year. he just competes at every contest. It was a bloody hot day standing out there. We did ok. 1 quarter let us down. Hey at least we didn't get beaten by 109 points like the bulldogs did.

Some sign up late. I never renew mine until r1 and yes i am one of those mcc members but I buy the $60 one each year and also a pet membership. They will come on board. But a few wins in the first few rounds would help greatly.

$20 is a bit rich for a suburban nab cup game. I reckon the prices should be a little lower for nab games that arent at a afl venue like etihad or down at geelong or in tassie. My point is you are paying for the same price you pay for at etihad where you get a seat and better facilities, mind you i know i wont be getting the feral country richmond family i had behind me last time. Anyway looking foward the to family day thing beforehand then the game. Hopefully another win.

WEll its nice not to have to wait until r10 for a win. It may be a nab cup game but at least we can pick up the papers tomorrow to read about a demon victory. Looking foward to going to casey for my 1st visit to watch them.

Is Jack Viney playing? 20 undefined undefined 2 1 3 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 12 If so would these be his stats. The afl website is obviously finding it hard to find out who the player is that has had 3 possessions and 12 dt points. Also I cant find his name on the stats sheet.

yeah Carey liked his body work and how big and strong he looked. Said he looks like a smart player and praised him when he kicked that goal from the boundary. But yeah he was exciting to watch and cannot wait until next year when he can play seniors. Its nice to draft a kid who already had muscle and isnt a weed.

I went with family to and had a my 11mth old niece in her little melbourne jumper on with 31 on the back for Grimsey. he was rapt to see his number on her back and was asking me about her. It was good how the leadership group was set up in a room. Made it easier to get there autographs. Neeldy had a bit of a laugh when this little baby was sat in front of him so her jumper could be signed. My brother was rapt because his hero Robbie was there. He got a photo with him and his daughter. It was also nice to see Ron Barrassi there to. It was funny how the little kids went to the leadership table and all the older supporters gravitated to the table to meet Robbie and Ron. But they were both up for a great chat. But it was well organised and had a great day. Poor Jimmy Toumpas when Robbo forgot to call him out because someone forgot to put him on the sheet. Thought Neeldy might have come up to but I know Robbo did speak to him on stage at some point int he morning. Jack Viney seems a nice boy and Hogan is big when you walk past him. Song was a bit flat but its a bit chessy when they do it like that. But I also think people were pretty hot standing in the sun.

Im looking forward to the games. Luckily we play the first two so we can leave after our second game. Im glad we dont have to sit through Richmond/Nth. Im excited about seeing Viney, Toumpas and Dawes in action.

Im rapt that we wernt hit with draft pick sanctions. Yeah so we got cleared of tanking but still got fined. I think that was the AFL putting out a message out there for clubs who dare go down that path. I felt for Sam Stynes today who had to speak to media to defend Jim. Yeah we could have taken it through the courts but who needs the distraction. Now we dont have to read about it in the papers and finally it has come to a conclusion. Now Mark Neeld can focus on coaching this team and there will no offield distractions. God knows he had enough of them last season.

yeah well if we were then they are the wrong kind.

Obviously the herald sun couldnt be bothered to report it int todays paper. Could not find anything on the intra club game, plenty on carlton and richmond. At least the age had a snippet on byrnes 5 goals.

When did Liam suddenly become a father of 2 boys? I knew his partner was pregnant did she have twins or did Liam already have a son we just never heard about? He wont get back to football. Intervention orders are there for a reason. Have no sympathy for any one that breaks one.

Just heard that news on the end of 10 sport. Well Im happy with that outcome. No draft picks lost and a $500,000 fine can be wiped out quickly. Chris Connolly well if he has to face charges than so be it. As long as Neeld doesnt suffer through loss of picks then the punishment sounds fair. Just hope Caro is right on that story.

Please no injuries. I just want to know how Viney, Toumpas and Dawes went oh and the other new recruits. Im sure the networks will have it covered on the sport tonight. Hope so anyway.

Not sure we could sue when she says someone from melbourne is a contact. Which whoever that person is and leaking stuff out please go. We dont need you. It was more enjoyable when she was writing about essendon. I just wish the AFL would put us out of our misery and hand down the punishment.
