Grapeviney

what's with all the Rudeboy bashing ? and why do people think he's writing on LJ's behalf ? surely he's allowed his own opinion ?

brock back apparently..

Moloney (sneezing) : Think I got the flu again... but I'll play anyway..

bit risky to start a 'go blues' thread in the week before we play Carlton

i like the caption to the picture - "Jack Watts celebrating a possession" hehe

hmm methinks out: channel 7 exclusivity on team changes until 6.25pm in: fine for MFC

i blame JW for this nasty row with robert doyle ! http://www.theage.co...0516-1yrdz.html stop playing politics and start concentrating on the footy ! ed: just re-read the story - seems like watts might be reported too... "In his letter, Cr Doyle said he had decided not to proceed with a formal investigation. But he noted the concerns were serious enough that Cr Watts could be reported"

sorry am i missing something ? the only reference i can find to any paul crew who played football while in jail is a film starring adam sandler about an nfl player

Such as ... ?

i think of it more as a shakespearean tragedy.. with more than a hint of 'dude, where's my car?'

He certainly looked like he was enjoying his footy on the weekend, and Rudeboy reported that he was keen as mustard about playing footy again.. I'm hoping that's an indication that he thinks / knows he will beat the charges

I find it hard to believe that most of them can look the opposition in the eye after those kinds of performances, let alone engage in chit-chat ..how do they look each other in the eye after that, or neeld for that matter ?!

Sydney, according to the fixture

knee injury or not, barty played a beauty tonight i reckon.

How did that other Mike Brady song go ? Little bit of Cazaly in us all ... "Monday - you read about it, Tuesday, you talk about it etc Friday, there ain't no doubt about it."

ah well, looks like everyone's got the good oil 'cept me

was just jokes.. my username should indicate that i'm a viney fan from way back - i even liked jay

According to this interview with Cale Morton - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/135366/default.aspx - Bartram is carrying a kneee injury and struggling to get up each week. "he’s going through a lot with his knee injury at the moment. It’s a challenge for him to get up each week. " Aside from the obvious concern about CB's injury, I'm a bit surprised that the club / Matt Burgan has not edited this info out the interview - do we really need to telegraph who's playing with a niggle / not at full strength

wait til you see what a disappointment jack viney turns out to be !

i'm a daily reader of TDM and love most of their stuff - in this instance it would seem truth is funnier than fiction! One of my faves from last year was this little beauty: http://thedailymaggot.com/?p=312

Thanks DemonDave and all the others who have provided updates throughout the day

definitely looked comfortable in the clinches today

There would have to be some temptation to bring Jurrah back to the senior team and play him as a sub this week, maybe bring something electric late in the game ... although if he needs to get more match-conditioning into him that might be better served with another run at Casey

too many players converging on the one contest.. if we dont win it, the opposition have a handful of free players waiting nearby to whisk the ball away

so sick of watching groups of melbourne players - usually midfielders - all go after the one man, who can then dispose of it by hand to one of the four or five opposition players who are left unattended as a result. they're able to whisk the ball away from contests time after time because of this.. i understand this is part of our stronger attack on the player / contest but they're struggling to get it right a lot of the time
