  1. Definitely. Will be heading off shortly.

    Hopefully we have a bit of a turn out. Not 'liking' a particular ground never really seems a good excuse not to turn up. Get there and hope the boys can put up a committed effort and raise their heads after last weeks effort.

    Also praying for no injuries from game. Always worried seeing that moving turf.

    Go Dees!

    The hot chips are $5 and they're half the size of the chips you get at the G.

    And you don't get to sit level 1 even if you're a member of the away team.

  2. I'd like to send my best wishes to Michael Barlow & his loved ones after this horror accident.

    I wish him well & a full recovery having had a similar break from a motorcycle accident years back.

    Know what you mean, when you cleanly break a bone, it's pretty nasty...takes a while to heal too

  3. Article

    MELBOURNE coach Dean Bailey says he will make some minor tweaks to the team's pre-match preparation in a bid to arrest the recent trend of slow starts to games.

    The Demons meet St Kilda on Sunday, and Bailey said his side's poor starts had to be addressed.

    "We looked at a couple of main things in the warm-up. We'll probably trial some of that again," Bailey said on Friday.

    "We don't want to change all of it, just throw it all out and start again. That's the wrong message to send. We'll keep working at it, but we don't want it to be a massive thing."

  4. Another move that seems to have gone unnoticed is Jones turning in to a tagger. A great experiment and could really set up NJ's career, especially with a developing midfield. Some weeks he has played well, some weeks he hasn't, again, it hasn't hurt the team one bit in its development.

    Could be interesting, and with a midfield of Trengove, Scully, McKenzie, Gysberts, Davey, Viney, Morton and Moloney to come, it may be the only way to him to hold his spot.

    And he's a damn good player too, which says something about how our midfield's going to look.

  5. Doesn't sound like a bad idea - he's a booming kick and a good runner.

    But, I don't see it happening this year. This is something that will need to be worked on during the pre season.

    Considering that we're playing the Saints who currently don't have many talls in their forward line, this week might be a good time for him to play forward. We're also unlikely to beat the Saints, so I reckon it's worth trialling.

  6. Agreed. The inconsistency is a joke - but bloody hell it couldn't have happened to a better person.

    Didn't Baker get a seven week suspension earlier in his career?

    That increases the suspension by 50% - from eight weeks to twelve.

    And only two of those suspensions he deserved - two of the striking charges. So that works out to be four weeks, plus 50% is six. I personally would have given him four, but I reckon he'll end up with six.

    The AFL protects the stars now, if Baker elbowed Pavlich or bumped Sylvia, that's four weeks for him. But not for the Judds, Abletts and Riewoldts.

  7. Agree with very thing you have said here mate and think he has a lot more upside then Warnock or Rivers( bigger,quicker,younger) as long as he does kick it!

    I don't see what's wrong with Warnock. He's a KPD. He prevents KPFs from scoring goals and he does that well.

    Martin is a dud.

  8. Stef Martin has to be developed as our main BIG backman. Not sure what to do with Rivers but Garland and Frawley are flexible enough to play tall/small and give Warnock the 2nd big bloke.

    I am so sick of hearing about Stefan Martin being good. He will never be good. He has no idea what he is doing when he plays.

  9. In : McDonald, Sylvia, Bennell, PJ, Gysberts

    Out : Miller, Morton, Warnock, Jetta, Watts

    I know there wont be that many.

    Paul Johnson last played AFL on the 15th of May, 2010. It will stay that way for the rest of his life.

    IN: Junior, Sylvia, Gysberts, Cheney

    OUT: Miller, Jetta, Bruce, Joel Mac
