WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Are you actually joking? Or is this a serious suggestion that if you had to choose, you'd take Frost?

Mad monday celebrations
What possible right do you, or any of the other 'livid' people on this thread, have to dictate to players about their holidays? For god's sake, they chase around a piece of leather for your entertainment. You don't own them. Their holidays, and what they do on them, are none of your bloody business.

Jake Lever - Suspected Ankle Injury
Sure, but to what end?

Jake Lever - Suspected Ankle Injury
If that's true, and it's a big if, why the hell are we playing him??

I'd like to know the 10 he's suppressing at GWS...

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS
Not sure how more hasn't been made of this. This was an utterly ridiculous goal for a big guy to shark. Amazing stuff.

Lack of marking.
Not sure about this. Gawn is a sensational pack mark and pulled in a few last night which reminded me of last year. He's taken a number of huge contested marks down back in particular to save goals, but up forward as well. Weeds is getting up there, and Tom McDonald is probably the only player we've had in years who takes one grab marks at his highest point. Brayshaw and Oliver have very strong hands for young mids And Melksham is a great mark for his size. Concern is overblown. We're fine

Loved his game tonight. He's a big mean fella and he was fantastic.

Jack Viney and the medical staff...
I've heard exactly the same thing, albeit via a foot specialist who also knows the surgeon.

Gawn Hospitalised Days Prior to Round 1
Knowing our penchant for coming up with novel ways of losing players to career ending injury, he'll probably be the first player ever to lose a leg to flesh eating bacteria....

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
Completely agree, based on last year's form. I think they'll open up this year (and Fyfe's interview today in the Age said as much). Lyon knows he's coaching for his career and I bank on him being smart enough to use the tools he has got rather than be completely non-adaptive. We'll see.

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
Genuinely, I think they'll try and rejig that around him. In any case, my best bet is that he will stop the sooking too now that he's got his move home and he's through most of his recent issues. I could be wrong of course, but that's my gut feel at this stage.

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
Interesting - he was the only one to kick two in the praccy match last week...

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
We are kidding ourselves if we think Hogan isn't going to have a huge year. He will smash it at Freo, notwithstanding the fact I still think the trade was a good idea and we won out of it. To be fair, a lot of those changes apply to all decent KPFs

2019 Fixture
My two cents is that this is a really rubbish fixture, for all our 'blockbusters'. Geelong in Geelong, again. North is Tassie, again. Worse this year because we play them when a top 2, 4 or 8 spot will be up for grabs. West Coast in Perth, again. Playing teams in Alice that are used to warmer temperatures. again. And we lose our QB home game. At least we finally get a home game against Essendon and we get to spank St Kilda twice. We also could well be 4-1 or 5-0 going into Anzac Eve - Essendon are our biggest threat in those first few games, I think Sydney and Geelong in particular, but Port as well, are candidates for a pretty big fall next year.

The Day the Contract Died
Contracts protect the employee, not the employer, and that is the same for all of us. I wonder how many of you who complain about footballers changing employers would think twice about ditching your own employer if a competitor came along and offered you double the pay and work you enjoyed more. Give me a spell.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Absolutely hates Melbourne. He'd say anything.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Maybe he hates being there....

Farewell Jesse Hogan
I wonder whether things change, and he thought he could get home easily and it would all be good. Now it hasn't worked like that, perhaps he realises what a mess it will be playing with us. Still, imagine playing with GC next year. Yuk. Hogan isn't exactly a culture builder.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Tend to agree, equally we're putting May in the position where he can't publicly state his intentions in the same way as Hogan isn't, so we're kind of giving him cover to wait it out without being under pressure to go public, and also saving face if it all falls through.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
After all that bluster, posting how strong a position we are in on every single page of the thread, and having the gall to call me jelly-kneed when I proposed pragmatism early on. Lol at you, my friend.
