Hope you are wrong but concede the definite possibility, But when the season is shot so early and so definitely Any "good" news lifts the gloom jest a little !

Love the idea, let them squeal ! Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!

For all those that thought Ridley was doing good that night there are more with the complete opposite view, It was run as a boys club for those in power, the rest of us were just a side show, He was a great coach (I thought) but he went over to the dark side !

I cannot understand why given a free or mark, he looks immediately to handball behind him to someone else to kick Kick the bloody ball at once into the open and make our forwards run, Go Dees

If I could I for one would come and watch the footy with you. Grey hair as well but no jumper ! good on ya ! Go Dees

16 years on this matter still raises passion, It should never have been a proposition. Hawthorn are a proud club, so are we, it would have diluted both camps. Not Melbourne not Hawthorn, A new club but not the one I followed since 1955.. Bloody glad Hawthorn voted against, I was devastated that we voted to merge,...still pisses me off !

Agree totally could not support the DAWKS, those in charge did what they wanted Not what the majority of the supporters wanted !! Go Dees give 'em HELL !!! bruise em,

Well done Tappy, a little bit late, but committed to the contest. They will be a bit bruised as well, and be looking over their shoulder next time !! Go Dees

I don't think Dunn is in any way a great player, but he does bring a type of aggression to our play, imagined or real, and we usually play better and more determined when he is in the side. He should stay in... Go DEES give 'em HELL !!! aint a win wonderful ! especially over the Bummers,,

Been reading the original White Maggot early last year and now the daily, at least it gives a laugh in an otherwise unlaughable season. this year and last. Sometimes the humour is a bit too close to the truth, go dees give 'em HELL !!!! and a bruise !

Very interesting read these posts, mostly looking forward albeit in different ways different reasons No point in being negative, I just want Neelds point about coaching a team thats the hardest to play against ( can't remember exact words) to be true. Hated that bruise free tag! go Dees give 'em HELL !!!

We definitely needed someone from outside with now experience of "our culture" Bruise free footy says it all ! we dont get them we dont give them ! (well not enough or often) The fault lies to my mind in the last three years or so of eND, and his favorite players and poor picks of over the hill types, should have invested in youth then,,,, Now down the track there is no experienced core of leaders with heart i do feel despondent, be there tmorra ..probably go dees !!

If we are serious get Matt Rendell to oversee the draft, He would be a excellent assett, how many might there be 6 changes or more ? go dees

Someone needs to be disciplined....probably Sylvia, Don't think Morton did enough to stay and Jurrah injured, I would select Dunn at CHF, brings aggression at least to the side, we seem to play better when he is there, I realise he is no champion but he does try. Couch in place of Sylvia, he would get 10 touches at least so better than Sylvia, and Martin or Tappy depending on who the match ups are expected to be, but then I know stuff all about football apart from 50 years support and 150 reserves games in the Amateurs, Glad I am not a Selector or Talent Scout ! Still buy a ticket next year but not sure about the boss, had to persuade her she wanted one this year gunna be very difficult again without some sort of turn around go dees give em HELL !!!

Thanks I smiled and actually laughed, well done ! sadly there is a touch of truth go dees

Watched this as well, great to see, its also good to know I am not alone in being able to remember the songs and the wonderfull Melbourne side of the late 60s early 70s. Gosh we were a good side....not. Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!

Talk about Ground Hog Day at least you are not alone, Go Dees give 'eM HELL !!!!

Agree Very little change for the cats, just the two obvious ones, keep it settled if you can ! But I still would like Petterd in, for more than one week at a time ! at least last night we supporters could lift our heads and be a little proud of the boys, and more to the point so could they !! Go Dees give 'em HELL!!!

Firstly I dont think Dunn or Bate are fantastic footballers, Very hard to have both in the same side for mine, But I cannot believe the vitriol dished out to Dunn this week, yes he was acting a bit of a prat but it was only when he was doing this, did I think we looked dangerous or The Doggs worried, I think just what the coach asked for. and Bate after a couple of weeks as sub didnt do much more than one quarter as a sub But not many calling for his head, they might both stay in, but hell I can't tell shite from snow, Go Dees Give 'em HELL !!!

Dont allways wear the colours but the Number plate says it all and the stickers, Go DEES give 'em HELL !!!

Never felt good about the brisbane game ! West Coast sa no more, This week early was sure Tiges were winners, now looking forward think it will be very very even, goal either way, I just hope we show some endeavour and heart, Go DEES give 'em HELL !!!

Bugger of a day ! Will never forget Jimma You made me proud to follow Melbourne Good on ya Big Man !

Reply to Jackie and Ted Fidge I think your comments are spot on. hope so anyway Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!!

WJ thanks for the write up, like most here cannot wait, even for next week Bring It On Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!!

Is that a $kunk tail ? He's gone and that no longer concerns me, but I will love watching him fail as often as possible... and I did laugh ...... I reckon he'll stay .... Go Dees give 'em HELL !!!!
