That's where one of our problems is. I saw Joel Mac line up in the middle a few times this year. That's where bloody Gysberts should be if he sorted himself out. Neeld said we broke even with inside 50's in the second half of the year but it didn't seem like it and I like Joel Mac's efforts but a midfielder he is not.

Juice Newton?

I agree. If JT is fit with Jones in form and hopefully Viney and Pick 4 can have impact we can cause some headaches but a lot depends on JT.

Scully is more then welcome to come down on the weekend if he wants. I have no Irish heritage but for Jim I think I could greet him with an Irish kiss.

What crap has he dribbled now?

So we have boosted our key position area's with Dawes and Hogan and we have Viney and pick 4 will go to another mid. I still think our midfield is our weak point but I am wondering if anyone thinks Blease,Sylvia or any other potential mid can give Jones a chop out this year. I'm hoping JT will release the shackles next year. I think if he improves we improve. Another smokey is Evans. I really hope his pre season is injury free and I know he won't have s heap of fitness but if he can pinch hit with Blease and others we may be ok.

I'm happy to have Hogan line up in a pocket next to me.

Clarke Dawes and hogan make for a massive headache for the opposition. We have more gorillas then the Melbourne zoo!

Cheers for that. That's plenty of time to make the filth sweat on it. Pick 20 and some steak knives or [censored] off.

We have until Friday to get Dawes and the pies have until Friday to free up salary cap space it will get done.

I like scotch. After watching a Melbourne game I like to drink a lot of it.

Once again there is another round of upsets with the Giants (understandable) the Bills,Packers and Seattle wins I did not expect at all. I feel for you Dan it must be hard being a eagles fan I always expect them to do well. My vikings got absolutely smoked by RG3's running game. He rushed for 138 yards and he is not my friend anymore. He smashed us. Ponder has regressed the last two weeks with 4 picks in two games. I am not over stating it when I say we HAVE to win the next 4 games if we are any chance in the NFC north. We have Arizona and then the bucs at home then at Seattle then home to Detroit. We have to win them because after that we are at Chicago then at Green Bay then host chicago again. Could lose all 3 and its season over. Packers are coming strong and their offence clicked I think I might put some coin on them.

Nicho Evans and blease are the run and carry players we need fit and in form next year.

Pretty sure Morton shotgunned that nick name

That is the first video I have seen of him and I know they are just highlights but why are some calling him a inside mid? He seemed to do a lot of damage running away from opponents and using his skills. As I said it's just highlights but I like what I see.

I hope evans is a keeper. Even with his injury riddled year he managed to show some form at Casey with no fitness base at all.

I agree and I see his role across the backline as a under rated one.

Love it how channel 9 reported that they have it on good authority that Melbourne and Collingwood will meet on Monday to discuss the Dawes trade. No Sh!t channel 9 ya knobs.

Saddam was hiding from Jack Viney not the Americans.

So do we [censored] him off because he was a number one pick? Or do we keep him because we need him down back. I agree he isn't a contested ball king but we still need him regardless of his draft position. I'd rather watts have the ball in his hands then bail and the other butchers

Martin can't hit a target so even if he does spoil a contest he will turn it over.

Watts is one of the only players we have who can kick the footy. I know he is no pack marking machine who eats metal and drinks diesel but he is our version of Matt suckling

Agree. They stated they would look for the best deal for them and not for wellingham then a day later he gets to go to west coast. He will be a dee.

Im very happy to have Dawes and ray

I doubt if this is true but let's say it is for a moment. Neeld would have torn shreds off this kid and told him to get stuffed. How a 18 year old outsider can not only comment on our culture but also say it to Mark Neeld's face is staggering.
