Bomberland could be feeling just a bit uneasy in case he is offered some sort of plea bargain for spilling the beans (or whatever he was using), or even investigator accidentally finding some records that they all thought were well hidden. Would not trust the cockroach not to take down his erstwhile mates with the sinking ship (before correcting me on my use of metaphors, I do recognize that the conventional word in this context is rats not cockroaches - but rats can be useful in laboratories when young AFL players cannot be found, whereas cockroaches really do not have any saving graces).

Harley does certainly appear to be "giving it his all" in a last ditch bid to save his career. Great to have someone at the club with this mindset, though it could still possibly not amount to anything. Well done, son.

So, if the others are nonplussed, is Salem plussed, or nonminused even?

Lazarus played for Fitzroy in the 1960s if I recall. I think a FF? So for him to come back would be a miracle of biblical proportions.

90"s ???? Surely you mean 90s

** unless he steps back up to the form he showed in those 2 MCG finals, which he could well do.

Driving a Valiant 50 years back!! Is it some form of time machine? Please drive it back about 60 years so we can enjoy some premierships.

Is his wearing #15 here an indication of his final number?

Petracca, apparently, and maybe Fritsch, for a moment. The older guy (?#23) won more flags, but “young Barrie” (?#32) has the sad distinction of being our most recent Premiership HFF.

Hope that is the only thing we do follow them on.

Well, we didn’t, and we did, so does that rekindle any interest in Murray? Murray has some stains of cocaine, but Brown has stains of EssUndone.

Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah. Strauss, Maric, even Morton .... elite kicks. Problem was they couldn’t get the ball.

I was more amused seeing Bennell, who this week ran for the first time in many months, named on the HFF.

I wonder how he would go, and how oppositions would play him, if we tried the Pagan Paddock option, one on one Jackson from the goal square, with Pickett sprinting in from wide on the flank?

adc. You have hit all the nails on the head. And Gil will be able, in his mind anyway, to justify a pay rise and or a bigger bonus.

... and take that SHocking guy with him, meddlesome prat.

“ Simon Goodwin on Melbourne's struggles this year: "We just weren't prepared for what the game was going to demand right through the summer for a variety of different reasons and from that we lost allour cohesion and ability to put a game style that was identifiable in place." ” Should a game style be identifiable (at least to those on the outside)? The successes we had in 2018 were in great part due to chaos and unpredictability. If our plan is too identifiable then it is more easily countered.

His second efforts and follow up is awesome.

Inception? Incestuous? Just too true ..... absolute morons.

Yes. Wow! Fierce little bugger isn’t he? A lot like Cyril. Will Brooooce latch on to Kyssssiaaaaiah?

Other than having to put up with much less total half time drivel on 7 what does this achieve? I do think 20 minutes is far too long but how about phasing it in to 15 for starters? As has been mentioned, and I know it is very early pre preseason, but plans are made and fitness regimens commenced based on what has been happening forever . Still, if there is, for a welcome change, only one unnecessary rule change over this inter seasonal break then I suppose we should be grateful.

Both are fierce beasts .... no more Mr Nice Guy types. Bring it on.

Welcome. Unlike some of our previous high picks, this guy looks super competitive and seems to have the NikNat desire to remain in the contest and follow up hos disposal. We could be on a big winner here.

Hopefully excited and driven by the challenge!

Or maybe a very tall mid / ruck-rover / mid? Green in red and blue could make a very colorful picture or a terrible color clash. If you mean Whacko Mark Jacko that would be easy, but if you mean Allen Jako then as a forward option (until injured) then that would be a magnificent outcome. IF Jackson developed into a player of Buddy’s ability and excitement then we would be a big winner, and if in addition we could keep him under wraps out of playing hours (and I certainly don’t mean putting him on ice) the sky is the limit. ?????????????
