Well...

I'd actually back us to win a final too if we make it. Something to with the lack of expectation...

I'm pretty keen to see how this unfolds but do fear for the stand alone VFL clubs. Surely the AFL will help with travel costs and other incurred expenses? Also following Prestons return closely. Fingers crossed they can make it happen.

Doubt we'd offer 3 years for a guy who has played 9 games of AFL and has been average at best.

Bit rough, it was just a tribute to his injured mate Gus. Re Jetta, he just continues to get the ball and go head first into traffic which has been a problem all year when he's played. Unfortunately, although he did a few nice things the end is nigh for Nev.

Just watched the highlights for the third time. Rivers last couple of minutes were huge - the goal, then the spoil and then splitting a pack of four players apart to knock the ball back to our advantage was so great to see. He has a lot of go and is exactly the sort of player we needed out of last years draft.

I second this, and not to mention there have been a couple of game days where they are waking at 4am or 5am, catching a bus and then a flight, and then flying back to the hub to return to the hotel by 3am. The ripple effect from huge days like that can be felt for some time.

Always the voice of reason sue, well said.

We cannot afford to go with yet another untried coach.

His 'experiments' have cost us this year too. We're worse for not having Harmes in the middle and it has shown.

True, I should have prefaced it that it's more based on feeling. I think he possesses some great attributes that we're lacking at the moment and he could make a solid impact right away. I suppose we shall see!

Expecting Baker to play really well tonight and I'm keen to see him back in action. As for our season, I'm predicting we'll beat Fremantle, dominate GWS in a commanding display and then roll over to Essendon by 10 goals... my MFC predicto-meter threw that out as the most likely result (a 99% chance).

Harmes would have had a good crack IF he wasn't being played out position (and injured).

Watch this incident be explained away by the AFL yet again. Nothing to see here.

Yes he clearly was, but that miss at the end cost us any chance of clawing our way back and the kick out was the icing on the cake. Overall still our best but he had a shocking last bit of the game.

Langdon probably our best until the last 5 minutes... then he was easily our worst.

This was as classic Melbourne as you could get.

No doubt this same comment has been copy and pasted many times on Demonland over the last 10 years. Good to see it coming from other supporters.

Glad they share our own sentiment on Harmes! Clearly he's a solid talent that's being seriously wasted this year.

Atkins would be a good get, fits our needs nicely.

Someone mentioned that Plapp was moved to forward line coach a few weeks ago. Is there any truth to this? If it is true, then clearly he's had a pretty positive impact and may well be safe for next year.

He is an absolutely liability at the moment and it's such a shame. No one could have predicted this kind of decline. We need Jackson back badly.

Past: Wiz, Jako, Neitz. Current: Oliver, Trac and Jetta.

'A crime punishable by fines simply means it's legal for the rich'.

Yet again another example of punishment based on status. Pathetic.
