Satan

On field success does not guarantee financial success. Look at North, won 2 flags in 4 years (96 and 99) and are still getting AFL help.

Lots to read , wont copy them here, since the Age is a Melbourne Sponsor and if you read this is then I reckon you can find the Age on line Eye opening story about Bailey visiting the young players at home for dinner with little notice, not suprising the first lot almost ...themselves..lol

Fair call but you would expected neitz with a reebok jumper swapping with a player sponsored by reebok not adidas

All the best Paul Can we get Sharapova as the no 1 supporter? :

Demons lost a coach and respect last year. It won't happen again

taken from another website, Colin's view Melb: - Tom McNamara (Plays conservatively but capable of much more offensively. Pick 66 but my #14 in '07 draft). - Kyle Cheney (tough, professional. Pick 53 but my #41 in '07 draft - I like him more than 41 might suggest). [Aussie Wonaemirri also exciting - ability to get/stay in good condition was/is my concern with him].

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/com...5E20322,00.html MELBOURNE has suffered its first major injury blow of the season with leading onballer Cameron Bruce ruled out for at least a month with a knee complaint. Bruce strained his medial ligament in a contested training drill on Friday and was on crutches yesterday as the Demons flew to their Canberra Community Camp. While the Demons put a positive spin on Bruce's injury and said he would be fit for Round 1, it is terrible timing. With the loss of Travis Johnstone to the Brisbane Lions, the 28-year-old is expected to lead the onball brigade under new coach Dean Bailey. The club said yesterday it was hopeful Bruce would play several practice games in preparation for the Demons' Round 1 clash against Hawthorn on March 23. Having last week named in the club's new-look leadership group, Bruce missed six games through hamstring injuries last year but had completed an excellent pre-season. Now he has been sidelined only days before the club's first intra-club clash, and its NAB Cup opener against premier Geelong on February 16. The Demons postponed a scheduled hitout last Friday with several players sore but are expected to complete their first intraclub match this Friday at Canberra's Ainslie Oval. Melbourne football manager Craig Cameron said the club was thankful Bruce had enough time to recuperate to be fit for the first round. "It will be a few weeks. We are just getting the weight off the knee at the moment, and we will have a conservative approach leading into the pre-season games, but we expect him to play a few practice matches and be ready for Round 1," Cameron said. "I think it was a tackling drill, just physical contact. They are doing contested ball work and this transition from fitness training into game play, that's when a lot of different injuries bob up." Like most clubs, the Demons had escaped without incident in the pre-season, with only a handful of players having being managed through the summer. Ruck recruit John Meeson has starred on the track, while Adem Yze, Clint Bartram and Brent Moloney are on target after struggling with injury last season. Top-five draft pick Cale Morton has impressed in his first pre-season and is expected to get a chance early in the NAB Cup. The club yesterday began its five-day camp in Canberra which will include training camps, school visits, a superclinic, and a visit to the War Memorial. Two Chinese junior footballers joined them in Canberra yesterday as part of a professional development scholarship. Zhao Wei and Zhao Yonggen will co-captain the Chinese national side during the AFL International Cup later this year, with China competing for the first time.

We have to pay $200,000 next year to him like we did for Woewodin. Also the directors and auditors are disputing the payment's catergory in the clubs books. If the auditors have there way, this years profit should be loss. The directors classify the payment for next year as it due next year. I'll let you green pens explain http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/dees...8175414015.html

Thanks Craig, A great 11 years, well done on life membership. I guess you can be 'arrogant' at Richmond.

terrible draw to boost membership , bulldogs, carlton, freo in the first 7 weeks at home

It was reported on commercial radio that Carrol, McLean, and Rivers were involved in a brawl with swedish backpackers on a greek island. A please explain from the the president will be coming

They will get the biomechanics professor etc. Bell fumbled the ball(irrelevant) . From where i sat in the SS , hit was reckless not negligent(that will be brought up to if it is a reckless charge, down grade to negligent) Stange the filth went ballistic when Caracella got hit by notting but were pretty quiet after bell got hit.

I thought priority picks are based on more than one years performance?? If so we wont get a PP

I believe Mick's father has passed away. Sympathy to the Malthouse family.

I believe you have been given the wrong word. Guy mckenna said Buckely would train next week to improve his conditioning and depending on his training may play next week(Willi or collingwood TBD)

Hope he does not go straight into the Blowflies side next week.

Intresting to note, having a criminal record for assault does not preclude one from becoming a coach at AFL level. A four time premiership coach has a record for assault. http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,,21649423-23211,00.html.

appropriate the sponsor is wizard )

If he has surgery he is out for 6 weeks. If that's true, they might as well put him in cotton wool for next year.

If Rama plays we have NFC. Could be like Jason M's return match for North.

Which .... on purpose smashed the MFC window at the Southern Stand today. With all the special cameras MCC talk about I hope there was one capturing the moment. If not Melbourne as a tennant should demand a camera be installed .

seems presti is out at northbank, stress fracture in foot

Collingwood will appeal , not surprising thou, I worry about the likes of Swan , Heath Shaw Lockyer and Leon Davis(rocca had his good kicking game last week)

sounds like someone took my advice

Holland to face tribunal for eye gouging, maybe holland could say he could not see because of the blood coming( in the world of WWF he must have bladed himself ) from his forehead. johnson in the clear and so is west.
