agree it can be misread but i think it is usually meant over a season long kinda thing? and thats not soo true about october i have a few mates who play afl, and they work themselves quite hard over october so they dont lose anything, or get in a position where they could cause themself an injury during preseason

we will make finals, i say you tell her that finals weekend is a birthday free time, and that if you had to choose you would go with the team you have supported all your life. second option, birthday present is to take her to the finals, have a few pre brews and organise the party to be when you arrive home, in celebration of melbourne winning and your girlfriends birthday, in that order :D

its top notch, only thing is i think the whole of demonland would agree, we need a picture with our white away jumper in it

in regards to maric, i know that he has just recovered from the minor stages of op, so he is probably relishing the running, hopefully a full pre season can put him in contention for a spot in our forward line. bail and trengove both look massive, and newton does look a bit bigger, but probably a changed diet by the demons staff to try and get him to put on a few extra kilos over summer fitzpatrick still looks 3 years off an afl game, looks like he would be snapped in half by a defender, ruckman, or a mid fielder.. wonna and jones also look in top notch condition. jurrah looks to be struggling, hopefully his cardio can improve so he can give a really good four quarter effort, i remember last year, in his pre season games before he did his shoulder he was cramping up so hopefully he can get his cardio up

i dont think that would be the way of thinking, but rather, could a mature forward, who has had a few seasons in him, relish a start at a new club, mind you personally i think that john anthony would benefit from our quick moving, pin point style of kicking and would at least be a good back up forward if we lose players like jurrah, dunn or green to injury. it is whether dean bailey thinks mitch thorp or john nathony would be the better player as i can see us definately making a play for one of them

everyone is a critic, i say good first up crack

i think beamer didnt want to get traded until he heard he was coming to mfc.

yes he did thank you haha i got back to the post a bit late.

dustin fletcher?

without a doubt i would if it was in the first few years, but having said that if id been playing at a club for 10 years, then it would be a bit difficult, then it would be more about friendships created.

Jim Stynes front and centre green to his right, beamer to greens right, grimes to his right davey to his left, frawley to his left, jurrah to his left. alternatively green im guessing will be captain to the centre beamer to his right, grimes to his right, scully/watts to his right davey to his left, frawley to his left, jurrah to his left

definately green or beamer both definate chances for the captaincy could even go on that total revamp and get the new leadership group once it is announced

green or beamer

oh no i do not have one, but i would love to hear one, i doubt the players will come out with something like that though...

does anyone else want to hear a we are on a straight line and if you dont wanna be on it then theres the door inspired speech from beamer again?

i think this would be similar to most people looking to get taken in the draft, trying to train at another club where they are likely to get taken, many players train and dont get picked up, but i think its a sure thing that miller will be in the yellow and black next season.

it would be funny to pick him up in the draft and force him into retirement hahahaa but seriously what club would be interested in him?

ill give credit where credit is due, gooood effort, i mean picking the draft is somewhat similar to reading a persons thoughts haha, so its a good effort, would love to see how the real draft pans out, but good crack its definately a tough thing to do, and your is pretty much as good as any, other than i think darling may slip lower, and we could be lucky enough to grab him.

lol this is getting some hype, how it shows the gooods...

i can see him fitting in where bruce plays, that defensive flank, or even playing a tagging midfield role, but i would love to see him running off the back flank, or even running into the forward line, whereever. and he looks in top nick in the pre season pictures

thanks all for the clarification

to be honest, if he doesnt want to take a one year contract at the club, for the price we offer, we dont want him anyway, i would rather have a player who wants to be there, than a player who wants money

1) how many rookie listing spots do we have? 2) with melbourne dropping paul johnson, has anyone heard if our intention is similar to what we did with newton and meeson? 3) is this new interchange rule, 100% for next afl season? 4) if paul johnson isnt dropped, in peoples opinions who will be getting the game, as ruck relief, spencer, fitzpatrick, gawn, newton or other? sorry if i seem a bit clueless, i was just looking for a bit of clarifications on these 4 questions
