Have any of you done anything competitive. The AFLW looks tougher than a lot of AFL now. The women go full on at each other and no one complains. Leave Toby Greene alone. He is the type of player we need and want to keep the game interesting. At least he does not stage for frees like Dangerfield and Selwood. 

Typically footy fans. You sort out people like Greene within the opposition team. Look at how Melbourne roughed up Geelong, that is how you deal with bullies. The MRP is toothless. The players only care if they miss a Grand Final because of it. It is a stupid American solution. There are better ways to deal with thuggish behaviour. The players can police it more effectively. 

Yes in Martial Arts I have been kicked in the face a fair bit, you get used ti it, but no lasting damage. Plus you learn to block, it hurts less! 

Go and play rugby or footy competitively, then get back to me. I have a Masters Degree and am far from stupid, I just hate bleeding heart liberals.

I cant believe some of the things I read on this site.

That is because you like soft footy. 

Love it. Go Greene. The Demons play tough footy, why shouldn't Toby Greene. Game was too soft for too long up until recently. Love it! 

How did so many teams overlook Sam Weideman. I suppose that he has taken 3 years to develop but imagine him with Hogan next year.

Well, they do say that people marry their opposites!  Certainly couldn't be any truer in this instance!  After all, if there was ever a total opposite of "The Melbourne Footy Club, the greatest football club in the world", it would certainly be Collingwood!!

I think Essendon are the complete opposite to Melbourne, not Collingwood. Melbourne is old money traditionally and Essendon are everything that is vulgar about the Nouveau Riche.

Viney scares the living **** out of Ablett who he has injured twice with fair challenges. He also plays well against Selwood too.

Brian Taylor is one of the most unpleasant people I have ever met. At least you can have a beer with Tex. 

Hogan will surely stay. Freo won't make finals for a few years, until they can establish a settled culture. 

No. Jack Viney said that Toumpas was the best junior he had played with.

It was actually Jack Viney who pushed for Toumpas over Wines. Go read your old articles.

It was Todd Viney who picked Toumpas.

I think we under rate just how tough our midfield is now. I think we have the luxury of playing a couple of skilful softies.

Not so sure. 

I think he would be a good outside midfielder at a club with solid inside mids. You never know, a rookie pick for us and he might flourish at a professional club like Melbourne.

If Norf sign up players like Gaff for 1.2 and Polec for $800000, then how will they keep quality players like Cunnington, who will want their fair share? 

Polec is worth no more than $600000. He is not as good a player as Angus Brayshaw. 

I missed Geelong! 

To be fair a whole range of teams have large numbers of feral supporters:

Collingwood

Richmond

North Melbourne

Bulldogs

Port

Freo

West Coast

Essendon

Adelaide

That would be my list of feral supporter bases. 

Hawks could be included too but they should be educated and civil and I hope they may evolve one day. 

Gaff may have nominated Melbourne as his club of choice. That would throw pressure on WC to deal or accept whatever compensation they get. 

Gaff may not want to play for North. Some players prefer a good work environment to silly money. 

If we could pinch Shiel from them then Norf would be spewing! He would be great in our midfield and I reckon that he would love to play with Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Brayshaw. 

Now or never for the push! 

Jesse Hogan is one of the main reasons I want to watch Melbourne FC. He is starting to look more like David Neitz with every passing year. He is untradeable and will help us to a Grand Final soon. This thread is even more nuts than the Neal Bullen one.

Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

If we miss the finals and Goodwin is not sacked then I am cancelling my Membership.
