Interesting seeing the votes from the game on the weekend. Melbourne v Fremantle 8 Brad Green (Melb) 5 Dustin Martin (Melb) 5 Jordie McKenzie (Melb) 4 Tom Scully (Melb) 3 Nathan Jones (Melb) 3 Jack Watts (Melb) 2 Nathan Fyfe (Fre) First, that's copied and pasted off the AFL site, not the HUN as you might have guessed from the wrong name in second place. Second, Green BOG and Jones got votes...that's odd. Must've gone something like this: Dean Bailey 5 Jordie McKenzie 4 Brad Green 3 Jack Watts 2 Tom Scully 1 Nathan Fyfe Mark Harvey 5 Stefan (or Dustin) Martin 4 Brad Green 3 Nathan Jones 2 Tom Scully 1 Nathan Fyfe Would've assumed McKenzie and Martin would have been high up in the voting from both coaches but it doesn't look possible.

No McKenzie...and Vickery at FF?

Garland if fit.

Jack Trengove.

...and pull the f--king trigger until it goes 'click'.

My midfield's so good that one of McKenzie and Boak won't get a game next week. My forward line features McGlynn and Garlett who have kicked 51 goals between them and Menzel who won the game for Geelong off his own boot, and Shane Mumford who was probably the second best ruck last year. Don't mention my backline.

I smell an upset. Still taking offers on my midfielders. Will take a lot to get rid of Savage, by the way

Bartel's concussion and Savage as an emergency turned a respectable 5-4 or 6-3 loss into a thumping...

PETTERD! Possession number two. Green. Kicks his third. Melbourne. Are winning by ten goals.

Bartram stays because...he's Bartram. Someone has to take King, or Nahas.

I originally thought he'd cramped up in the calf or something...but he definitely wasn't on crutches and walked off with the team.

Lock him in, he's eligible.

I see Nicholson as more of an attacking medium defender. Bartram negates the small forward - Garlett, McGlynn, King, Ballantyne, Blair etc.

Nicholson doesn't play on small forwards like Bartram does.

Garland in doubt, you'd think. Walked past Jamar on the way today who told me he's playing next week. I'm thinking with Richmond's forward line, Frawley and Rivers should be able to take care of themselves. In: Jamar, Gysberts Out: Gawn, Garland

Man, he makes our forward line look so much better. 21 possessions, 12 marks of which 3 were contested and 2 goals today. For a third gamer that is some seriously impressive stuff. He's going to play a really important part in our premiership aspirations.

6 - Jack Watts 5 - Stefan Martin 4 - Jordie McKenzie 3 - Brad Green 2 - Jeremy Howe 1 - Colin Sylvia

Enough to convince Bails he can ruck.

Well, the Irish experiment was started by Melbourne in the 1980's with Sean Wight the first recruit, then Jimmy Stynes the second. And since then, heaps more. International rules has been around for a long time, hasn't it?

I thought I was going to win the ruck against HT this week, then I realised he has Stefan Martin in the backline. And OMR and anyone who's making offers to me - looking for a high disposal defender.

Short in the backline. Frawley, Chaplin, Hibberd - good players but not game winners. Ruck depth might be handy, though. Have Mumford who has been injured for 2-3 weeks and Derickx hasn't played at all.

Joe Krieger, pick 8 in the 2004 Rookie Draft.

I may have one too many midfielders. Have Hodge, Bartel, Boak, both McKenzies, Savage, McGlynn (forward), Blair (forward), Mzungu (back), Ziebell, Symes (back) and Byrnes. Offers are being considered...

All players on the MFC bench named, excluding Garland...

[censored], I did it again. Can everyone who reads this veto the trade between me and OMR...again? Clicked accept by accident. Or JACKATTACK, you're the league manager, can't you cancel it or something? OMR, I was going to say neither of those players were what I was looking for.
