http://www.afl.com.au/Premiership/Season2009/MatchResults/tabid/11433/default.aspx?display=0&seasonid=74&roundid=766&fixtureid=5426 I just had a look on the afl website and I clicked on our game then teams and Scully's name is there. I guess we will find out closer to the bounce.

I've been reading some threads and people seem to think the family day is on the sunday after our intra club. In my members email it states Sunday 14th March. Just thought id clear it up. Its a shame we can't have them at the G anymore.

Just saw a channel 7 news update while watching the tennis and they aid that Jim Stnes parents received there australian citizen ships today and they showed Jim there with them and he made some comments. Guess there will be more on 7 news tonight.

Its expected that Dean Bailey and Melbourne will announce a contract extension for Bailey during the NAb Cup. I think its smart because he does deserve a chance with this list and it will stop speculation this year as it would have been his final year. Hopefully the meida will lay off him and we perfom well for him.

Luke Ball will definitely be the talking point of the draft. Personally if we don't get him then I hope someone else apart from Collingwood get him. Id laugh if Brisbane took him. Voss wouldn't care that he didn't want to go to any other team. He would say that Luke was fair game and they need him. Or Id laugh if Port took him. Anyway everyone will be waiting with there breaths held when they get to our pick 18. Personally if I was Luke I would have met with us and explained why he didn't want to come to our club. Then we would leave him alone. If we did get Luke then I wouldn't care. He can suffer for awhile like us supporters. Although we are on the way up. Can't wait until the draft. Im more excited about Scully and watching him play.

Tune in to 3AW tonight at 6:20pm to hear the latest from National Recruiting Manager Barry Prendergast. Got this off melbourne twitter. Probably just get asked if we are taking Ball and who will we draft first. Anyway just thought someone would like to listen.

I thought it was interesting. The club has worked well with Liam and his english. What about when Jim and Tim were sitting around the fire and Jim talking about his cancer and mentioned it being fun or something and Tim just looked straight at Jim and said Jim it's not fun. Anyway Jim is still the most positive person I know and it was good of him to keep his promise to Liam and fly to where he gre up. On another matter did anyone see the first story on Kurt Fearnley. Man that guy is a genius. What he achieved was remarkable.

i saw the ad for it the first time tonight. It looks like it focuses more on Jim and his illness and the promise he made to Jurrah that he would go and see his homeland. As I have already written it looks like a very good story.

Oh good. Tim mentioned on SEN that he was doing a liam Jurrah story. I just figured they would show it next season at a half time break or something. Glad that its going on a prime time high rating show. I was going to watch anyway because they were doing the story on Kurt Fearnley. The paralympian who has just finished crawling the Kokoda track. Now I have another reason to watch.

I thought I'd start one. I can't go but can people report back on how it went. Most importantly what Jim Stynes said in his speech, how he looked etc. Also what Schwab and Bailey say and also the winners. That would be great.

I can see the point of playing either west coast, freo or another interstate team round 1. It would be round 1 so we would get over 20,000 because people would come to see our new players play to see how they go, also we would be expected to win and winning round 1 would be great. It would be better than round 13 and we have only a few wins and then no one would come.

I just renewed mine. Who else has. I wonder how many we will get before christmas. Hopefully another record breaking membership.

Great news. I was getting worried with all the newspaper reports today. Especially when his mum came out and said I'd love to see both of them at Essendon. I didn't think he'd leave especially with all the work he has put into Jurrah settling in at the club and helping Wonna as well. I would have been devastated if he left. Cameron Schwab must have had achuckle at the reports today. So today the Aus and Herla Sun are reporting Aaron may leave and tomorrow they will be reporting he has signed. Yeah!!

Im really not shattered. It was his choice. I think if we got rid of him i'd been annoyed. But i can see his point. He has been there for a few years now without playing in a whole heap of finals. He can see at Carlton he will play finals for a few years. If carlton are stupid enpugh to give us pick 11 then Id say take it. 4 new kids in the top 18 will help us in the future. It will be weird playing against him though. Well does that male Bruce the obvious choice for captain now? It will also open the door for Grimes in the future.

Good news. I missed waching him this season. Can't wait to see him and Jurrah in the same foward line next year. He went to the brownlow because Aaron Davey took him.

Nope don't agree. Before the Game is my favourite. It seems to be the players favourite as well. Anyway just my opinion.

In todays confidential bit in the herald sun there is a little story on how the melbourne players rocked up to the Flying Duck Hotel in Prahran unannounced and the owner was a little nervous and was bracing for the worst to happen. He said insted of getting drunken shenanigans the owner was greeted with good grace and humour. He said in 20 years in the pub game this is one of the most respectful group of blokes I've encountered. Good to see our boys behaving well.

I know Davey has been on our list for a couple of seasons now but watching him today he was just brilliant. He never wastes the ball and his kicks are jsut dead accurate. I love watching him play and I think he will be a great captain. This season he has just been awesome.

I missed it but in the preview they had footage of him at the presidents lunch being interviewed. Did anyone see it and what did he have to say. I saw him at the game and on the ground afterwards. I saw him leap from his seat when Jurrah kicked that brilliant goal in the final quarter. It was good to see him there. Hope he is going well.

Tomorrow before our game there is a match between two corporate teams where former plsyers are playing. Some players include David Neitz, Andrew Leoncelli, The Febey brothers, Bathan Brown, Marcus Seecamp and Alastair Nicholson. Should be good to see some of the boys having a kick. Good to see what sort of condition they are in.

Love that Frawley has been named on the centre line. Why not give him a crack there. he didn't get a chance last week. I bet Dunn wants to have another cack at Harvey after what Harvey came out and said after last years game about him. r was it round 1 this year. Anyway lets see what moves ABiley does again. Also a shame that Jurrah isn't back.

It on channel 9 at 10:30pm. Im pretty sure they don't televise it in brisbane or sydney

It will be interesting to see what they say about the match and our players positions. Also Grant Thomas will have his say and Caro will talk about the tigers. Hutchy will say we did the right thing in not winning. He said to Garry earlier on in the season on the show we cannot get to 5 wins. There is no point. Im also sure they will ask Garry about it.

Nope they can't change the rules for this years draft. It can't be proved we tanked. I bet Adrian Anderson will be chatting to dean this week though. I have noticed that Mick Malthouse has had his say on some of our moves yesterday. Everyone will be watching us this week though.

I was surprised to see no bugle boy yesterday. Mind you I didn't really miss him. Buut have we ditched him? Also on another note yesterday glad to see David Neitz at the game. I walked past him after the match yesterday.
