GRUN DEE

Could Melbourne make an offer to out of contract Jack Riewoldt? Or chase Stanley from the Saints? Stanley would almost be guaranteed a start at full-forward. Any other young big men worth having a crack at? Jesse White (Swans), Cornilius (Lions), Paul Stewart (Port), OR try Garland forward. Allows Warnock, Cheney or McNamara down back.

Exactly! Hawks and Roos we need to stand up. They dominate us! Both at the G so no excuses.

I would rather Davey accept the ball like Dane Swan rather than Yablett! Ablett is known for winning the hard ball mainly. Dane Sawan running, accepting, giving, running, accepting, giving all night. Swan is very damaging! We have the hard ball winners. Davey needs to play like Swan not Ablett!

It does'nt really matter who we have kicking out. It wont make any difference until we have players wanting to work off there opponent to accept the ball. We always seem to kick to 50/50's because no one is creating or running hard enough to accept. It's as simple as that. And we obviously dont have enough set plays on kick outs. Grimes and Davey are obvious good kicks. They are my obvious choices! RUN AND CREATE DEMON'S!

We aint seeing the best of Davey in his current role! He aint dangerous or got the opposition on the back foot anymore. He needs to play wing and around the forward 50. Grimes needs to play the running backman role. He is a great kick when he kicks it long. No more short [censored] in the back 50. Spells turnover! Goal!

I am sick of us handballing backwards to Davey who then looks rushed or awkward in kicking the football. He either needs to recieve the handball running past or accept the kick in the next passage of play. Most likely on a wing or through the centre where his kick should find a leading target inside 50. Just sick of him getting cheap kicks instead of being creative and more dangerous up the ground. If we dont let our players kick the ball our skills wont improve and are more prone to a turnover when under or not under pressure. JUST KICK THE DAMN BALL FELLAS!

There blokes might be a little underdone at this level. Tarrant wont play! Broughton would be wary injuring his hammy twice since he played last.

Upset of the week... The Dee's will beat Freo this week! Freo are vulnerable and we will find them out if we run and play the corridor! We are capable of kicking winning score's with our current team. That's more than 100 points! Cant wait too see Bail burn em up!

If we can get some momentum as Richmond did. Finals is quite possible! We would need to win at least 5 out of 7! Would need to beat Sydney, Hawthorn and North for double points! Unlikely though!

Gold Coast Suns aint too bad. We will get used to it. Port Power was pretty ordinary! But it doesnt seem to be a problem. I would have gone for 'Gold Coast Ironmen' myself. A Red and Yellow (or gold like the Hawks) jumper with light blue shorts. Similiar too South Australia's origin jumper would have been the go. Colours that is. Not style! As for Greater West Sydney. I would go for the 'Great West Sydney Two Blues' or in short 'GWS Two Blues'. To get fans on there band wagon there colours would be obviously Dark blue and Light blue. A take off of the Rugby Leauge State of Origin colours. Fans would love it! The NRL would love that! Ha Ha! So would Izzy being a Queenslander. Suck it and wear it!

Trengove missing vs Dockers. Will hurt his Rising Star chances. Not sure how long he will missing for!

I have deleted Martin from the because he is ineligible. Would be close to favourite if eligible.

I think there may be some biased towards Trengove. Stratton reminds me of our own Rivers when he won the award. Stratton will be in for a big last 7 rounds with the Hawks pressing for finals! if he can take some more big scalps he will win it.

OUT - PJ, McKenzie IN - Bail, McDonald The big open spaces are the reason behind my decisions. Bail is burning in the VFL. And Macca has a bigger engine than McKenzie at the moment. Jamar to go alone against Sandilands. Jamar has done well against him before!

1. Stratton (Hawks) 2. Hannebery (Swans) 3. Trengove (Dees)

Name your top 3 in order! This should be the closest award in years. Is there a standout? I think Stratton myself!

I would be surprised if he isnt playing at the Gold Coast next year. A player we should look at. 188cm. I think we would like someone around the 192-196cm mark and about 90-100kg.

My preference in order. Top 3 only! 1. Gold Coast Sharks (conflict with Soutport. So doubtful) 2. Gold Coast Ironmen 3. Gold Coast Dolphins 4. Gold Coast Surf 5. Gold Coast Waves 6. Gold Coast Heat 7. Gold Coast Theme Parks 8. Gold Coast Sliders 9. Gold Coast Skins

We may be real close to winning this one. BAIL will be the difference! He will add another level to the team. I rate him very highly and he will love the open spaces. IN - Bail OUT - McKenzie. A little slow for Subi and looks like he needs a rest.

OUT - Grimes (inj), Cheney (susp), Jones (omitt), Spencer (omitt) INS - Bail, Sylvia, Jurrah, Newton for Spencer if he is elgible for selection. Will gives us some forward structure. Jones needs to do better on [censored] like Dal Santo. I cant stand that p..k! Jonesy needs to be physically intimidating and play his opponents harder.

- I want too see every player made accountable and play 1-on-1 football. We seem to play our best when we play like this. - Play the corridor - Positional changes. I want us to be unpredictable. Garland forward. Grimes midfield. Bennel to play as a more permanent crumming forward. Morton forward. Casey players rewarded. Cheney surely needs to play ths week! - An even Kick to Handball Ratio. No handballing backwards after a mark has been taken. Only forwards. No flat footed players. - A forward structure so our mids can hit up a target. - Tackle tackle and tackle. Smother smother smother. We dont seem to smother enough compared to other teams. 1 per centers!

I think we have several players who need to change there boots! Watts and Scully to name two.

OUTs - Miller, Watts, MacDonald, McKenzie, INs - Cheney, Bennell, Sylvia, Junior, Time for Garland and Morton to play forward with Bate. Cheney to help out down back! I would like to see Grimes play on a wing or in the midfield more often. I WANT TOO SEE POSITIONS CHANGES THIS WEEK! We are so predictable. AND I WANT TOO SEE US KICK MORE THAN WE HANDBALL... AND ACTUALLY HAVE A FORWARD LINE TO KICK TOO!!! THAT CANT BE TOO HARD! SHIKES...

Melbourne seriously needs to find some ticker! They need to be real C.nts out there! Sorry to use that word. No more bullying. I didnt care if we had a player reported yesterday. We need to make a stand! Carlton are going to be our rivals for years to come. And yes, they did bully us yesterday! Stand up Melbourne. Get physical! Real physical. We need Dermie to have a talk too them!

Dunn needs to play as a forward for the remainder of the year. Inside the 50! Full forward or in the pocket as a leading player! His career is on the line at the Dee's. Our luck we will delsit him and another club will pick him up and play him forward where he will do well. Dunn IN Miller OUT Dunn deserves a chance forward before Miller & Newton. With Jurrah & Pettard out. This is hs time! Versatile player too. Just needs to be given time forward. I think he is a real trier. More than what I can say about some of the others in the senior team at the moment.
