Every game is winnable. I thought we'd have 3-4 games won in the first half of the season. I honestly don't think that we can win more than 2 for the rest of the season. Who else are we likely to beat? GWS and GC? After GCs performance today, that's not a lock in. I think we'll finish 16th on % only from GWS and GC.

Great comeback match from McDonald. For a young guy to have a punctured lung (or what ever was wrong with his lung) and play so well on his return match was a highlight for me. Showed considerable poise and maturity for a teenager. Thank god we re-signed him!

Has anyone considered that we are only one game (and %) away from last?

Would he prefer to stay at Geelong and end his days as a one club player? Leaving as a FA would perhaps dilute his legacy down in Sleepy Hollow. Some players are not concerned with this. To others this is important, especially if they have played during a great flag era. If he was available to us, I guess we'd have to weigh up what he would provide (and cost) in only one or two years, as opposed to a 25/26/27 year old high level player who might be with us for 4-5 yrs, into a so-called premiership window. These sorts of issues are going to be more and more important in the next few years as FAs and RFAs come into the picture. What do other think about FAs vs RFAs?

Didn't know I was your 'son', old man. It's pretty hard to reason with someone who uses the justification above to prove their case. If you argue with fools, you end up looking like one. Over and out on this thread.

He won't go. As pathetic an argument as it is, he will claim he was tackling the opposition player. Did anyone notice how Adams used his leg to try and kick Judd away while he was on the ground. Clearly he was in pain.

What is there to say. You've done a lot of work there, Captain Obvious.

] Just a midfielder??? Do you know anything about footy? It's commonly accepted that the midfield is where matches are won. All the names you mentioned, except for Jones, are only battlers based upon this year's effort. Sad but true. And you could add a number of others to that list, such as Trengove, Davey, Bail, Green and Petterd. Based upon this year, that is. Moloney is struggling for form, but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Won't be cited. Protected species. No chance. "insufficient force"

Oh, we'll, it's decided then. No more to say. Thanks for letting us know.

No. Your username says it all.

Yeah, I think you might be right. But I wouldn't be surprised if Martin is offered around for a trade at years end, as i believe he is worth more game time than we are giving him, and ruckmen with a few years under their belt are worth a bit.

If we picked him up, we would probably look to have some/all of Gawn, Martin and Spencer move on

This is getting ridiculous. So the reining B&F winner, experienced, big bodied, good leader, still relatively young, should be let go of because he has been badly out of form this year? And us anonymous hacks somehow know better than the FD! And I thought only Tigers supporters ate their own!

I gave up tuning in to his crap. No point trying to counter his views as he simply doesn't care to listen to what others say. And will never apologise or acknowledge when he has been proven wrong. You know the saying... If you argue with fools for too long, you begin to look like one.

Well, now I've heard it all. Morton has good foot skills and run? And we are somehow vastly better than shocking with him in the team? Let's get that gazelle-like champion back in the seniors! We need his laser left foot passes to the opposition so that we can turn over more goals!

Rivers kicked 4 against GWS and that's just about it as far as forward highlights go (unless you are including some shocking set shots) Garland has been more of success in the forward line this year. Time for Riv to go back again. And this year Green has been NO dimentional at AFL level. But, of course, he stars at VFL level.

???? Priority or F/S??? Father/son deals are sorted out BEFORE the trade period. This has been covered at length in every JV related thread here.

No. Just pointing out that we have a fair few one dimensional players. Moloney's certainly not alone.

Maybe you could give us your highly valued thoughts on where the team is going wrong and, back on topic, whether or not Brent Moloney will be with us next year? Shallow sweeping statements do not equate passion.

More than Jamar? Rivers? Green?

Are you trolling?

What, precisely, is his value to Melbourne? A lot less than it was 12 mths ago, which makes the next contract negotiation difficult for the Club and him. He would be wanting a good deal based upon perceived potential, not upon current form.

When is his contract up? Could his lack of leg speed this year be explained by this?

Howe and Jones definitely need to be signed soon. C'mon Dees, get it done!
