At least I can now add chemistry to the list of potential root causes of MFC failure.

Goodness me it was a slap-together, wrong coloured nonsense of kit back then. I mean check out the shades of red between the Guernsey and polo.Bloody pathetic in hindsight.

I grabbed one of the Indigenous round jumpers that were on run out for $65 but the AHG logo is plastered all over the monogram.

Viney and Brayshaw co-captaincy in 3 - 4 years time. Yes please.

I immediately thought of Vikings.

Even got coverage on the Perth news. Totes amazeballs.

Let's hope that the new kit isn't spoiled by sponsor logos creeping over the monogram like this years guernseys. Pretty sloppy effort.

Bit harsh. "I wasn't expecting much from Melbourne but me and my family were thinking maybe a rookie spot. "I'd been talking to Melbourne for the past three to four years and we'd been catching up regularly. "We just thought a rookie spot would be almost guaranteed this year." Kids had his hopes up right until the end and bet the club did too. Maybe he'll come on a little later like his old man did.

Oh yeah.. Oompaloompa. My bad.

Love the work on Darcy, 'M'. We're off to see the Wizard...

There's not many instances where you find MFC memorabilia in a pawn shop in Perth but I spotted the 2006 team photo, beautifully framed and on display out the front of one the other day. I bent down and with a grin looked at Rowdy and Neita sitting side by side, Chunk with hair, Chopper Carrols killer moustache, Flash etc. Just when I was about to look behind for the price, I also noticed Col Sylvia, Beamer and Mr Barry Prendergast as 'Opposition Analyst' or some other clearly misplaced title against his name. The grin disappeared and I didn't bother to check the price. I don't even know what confession I'm making here.

Give your vintage, old dee, I knew you'd struggle the most widely with this apparition.

I am not really Steve McQueen.

I'm looking forward to Missons first injury report. Even if listening to him does rob me of the will to live.

The damage was done when Neeld arranged Malthouse as a mentor. Regardless, Watts needs nothing explained to him that he doesn't already know.

Will Petracca be right to participate full training next week or is there still a rehab program in place? Anyone know?

Lazy buggers. We started preseason tonight. 45 minutes of 9's followed by 4 stubbies. Misson has no idea.

Any draftee that comes to the club now has a significantly better chance of becoming an AFL level player than what they did before Roos and Jackson came on board. They're now 'entering' a professional environment and into a club actually operating the way it should. If we blow another top 5 - 10 pick before we're (out of that market) I'll be very surprised.

Yeah, it just sticks out like dogs balls playing elite level footy.

Imagine if Watts could take the role that Dawes plays off him. He's a better mark than Dawes More agile Faster Better decision maker More accurate field and goal kicking etc Just needs to bulk up and get feral. It goes without saying that 'Desire' is they key ingredient of AFL players.

Well my only punt of the year in the workplace $5 sweep yielded $25 thanks to Criterions third placing. Now I can blow that on tonight's oz lotto draw.

I've been saying for years that he's too light, gets brushed off when tackling and generally doesn't have the strength to win his own footy. I don't think Roos and Goodwins current strategy and game style is going to appeal to Jack unless he changes his whole approach to the game. Pure outside mids are a thing of the past and team rules are in place for everyone to follow. Blokes who hold back from a contest and play seagull footy won't last. Toumpas is a prime example. Get him in the gym and put 5 or 6 kgs on him and have one last roll of the dice. Otherwise it'll be adios. Ed: spelling

Really? A rookie spot. It's not best 22 let alone on the senior list. Give the kid a chance when there's such reward available.

Freo gave Morabito another go and will rookie him this year. I'm all for this type risk.

Both top 5 in the Bluey under Neeld. Magnitude 8.6 shudder...
