Wouldn't be like Mark Stevens to get a couple of Melbourne players mixed up, now would it?

Pre-defection and Tex dummy spit, he was lauded at the Crows for his professionalism, fastidious preparation and leadership. With an injury free preseason he will have a rip snorter of a season next year. And hes only 21! Wowee!

It's career ending, worse than simply a calf, he's now missing a lower right leg. WARNING, look away if you are of weak stomach: (Photo courtesty of Hardtack)

That phot is badly cropped and blurry. Taken from the grassy knoll?

Refreshing start. So... um, er.... at the risk of being off topic, when's the next training session? Might sneak in a couple before xmas myself. Hang out behind the bushes on Anderson hill, join in with the boys quietly and hopefully lose my beer gut.

The dreaded old man's injury. Was he playing basketball or was it surfing? Ban 'em all, I say. Who knows, might be a slight strain and just a precautionary delay. Might also be bs. Hopefully nothing of concern. Not sure Stevo has insider knowledge at MFC, if that' what it is

We should do a 'total recall' of best footy journos. Would struggle to get enough for a top 10

Keep your foul emissions to yourself pal

CC the recruitment journey man moves to another club. Whoopty do

Nate Jones has improved his decision making and kicking considerably over his career. Different type of player to Coleman-Jones though. The point being is that equating one player to the other doesn't work

Big career shift into hot chips and burgers

WTF is the problem? It's only bounced at the beginning of quarters and after goals. Seems to me they are too hopeless at it and the optics are forcing the AFL's hand. The bounce is a great quirky tradition of our game. Gil should grow a pair and keep it. I'd also like to see the return of brimmed hats and long coats for goal umps. They look so baseball-like now.

Someone at the club loves a pic of a topless Max

Why sophrology is the new mindfulness

Best mate of Andy Brayshaw. Does the 100 x 100s with the Brayshaw brothers on Christmas day. 191cm tall mid with clean hands and good decision making. Some question about his tank, but that can be worked on. Draft watchers, where's he likely to go? http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-draft-andy-brayshaw-and-charlie-constables-bromance-20171110-gzj7vg.html

The thread is about the last 30 years. That does not include R Flower. He was an ex VFL Melbourne player 30 years ago on this date. As good as Tulip was, I think the thread is looking at post RF, hence he is not on the list. Otherwise let's include RDB or IWS in the equation as well

This article says we have shown interest in Zac Bailey and may use one of our first 3 picks on him. Adelaide and Port have picks after these. Other clubs could be eyeing him off too. Anyone know much about him? http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-11-06/nt-draft-bolter-bailey-cant-explain-his-improvement

2, 31, 11 and 4.

Uncle, Red would be in the birdcage chewing through the champers, barely able to keep upright. I'm surprised he is able to type anything close to readable on his phone. Giddee up!

I think they get a set number of weeks off (6 or 8?) from their last game. Given Lever played in the GF he may return later than the others. Having said that, sometimes players come back to training earlier out of their own volition

Port are certainly turning their list over. How many is that now that are new to the club after the season ended?

No love for Jako MB38?

Or 'tied up' with The Gat Block matters?

Told him this to his face? Didn't think so...
