Reviving the rivalry would be a fairly good idea if there wasn't 31 goals difference between the two sides . More like a revelry for the cats .

You never really know until a player has 100 games in him. Not that you just give a guy games for experience. IMO Watts looks like a No 1 and will start to dominate games this year ( Dear God- no injuries please or I'll become a satanist again). Trengove also looks like the complete package. Morton is frustrating us all because he was a No 4. Competition in the club for spots is where it all starts. Leigh Matthew last year on TV during a game said: "A subtle but important point that most people miss is that players need to compete with each other before they get into the team. So the real competition must be to earn a spot before you face the opposition."

Superb summary Furious. What happened needed to happen . I still maintain that we never tanked purposefully . We did the best we could with what we had - which was either too green or to old . Bailey was a dignified man in an undignified era for Melbourne ,and his demise was the culmination of a lot of tension . The new GWS player and his Epanding father didn't help things ,nor did the other cancer plaguing our Irish sons . We taken some blows but we're here and we wont be pushed around under the new regime . I want the all clear from Jimmy's Doc and a top 6 finish for 2012 .

Fantastic pronosticating oracle . I hope you are right about Jimmy . The rest is unlikely as we are well above Freo and Swans . Top 6 .Quote me.

Never met him but he was becoming a top player . Sad day for millions of people everywhere . RIP Troy

You'll never get Blue Lou .

Howe , Watts ,Jurrah ,Clark ,Davey ,Petterd . If we can win a few clearances ,these guys will kick enough . I'm pumped for 2012 .

Ricky Jackson had a good year once .

Terry Wallace was missing from that game for some reason.

Was that the one with the specials on dirty bits of paper stuck to the wall? What a classic .My dealers bong was cleaner than that joint .

I rate us above Freo and Bummers for next year purely on cattle .

and Kevin Dyson-massive kick .

Yes- I remember him getting 8 at Waverley and thinking we had a champ . WTF happened? Luke Beveridge also.

They all will .

They say big men take time to develop. I think the same is true for small forwards . Davey will go well in attack . His decision making from half back was poor because he is TOO attacking . Those he say he is better at half back must have missed all the turnovers that lead to goals . I'm glad Misson has taylored his program . 10 tackles and four goals(for us) a game would be nice from Flash .

Gawn stays. Go Gawn. Stay.

Sounds like healthy competition for a spot is emerging . Cale ,LJ ,Davey beware ! Desperation in defence (once a Davey signature) will be key . Here comes success . Hoo-ray success .

Darren Jolly and The Wiz.

Gary OX Robbie Jimma Farmer Grinter Wierd Al B.WIlson Keogh Yze Watching since 84 .Left out Lovett , Johnson ,Hughes .

Stilton? No Limburger? No Liecester? No Brie? Yes. Oh good No sorry not today sir Edam? And the buzuki is playing along in the foreground as I recall .

I remember my aunty taking me to the rooms after the games in the swooper era . I think she had a hidden agenda then as the boys would nude up straight after the song! (Viney was a favourite after the game ,"balls" during). My family saw all those 50s and 60s flags happen and my Grandmother was fanatical . I've known nothing but pain as a Demon - but the wheel turns. The most important thing is we are in control of our future and the club is a good place to be. The dour redhead is a force to be feared. That's why Neeld kept Bater - to help lift the heavy curse of the bloodnut.

Next year isn't far off . He can still run .Relax .

Rory JIM Taggert Mitch "Homeboy" Clark-He wanted to go west but saw the light. Sellar "Tape" , "Bration" or just "Peter" "Hank "Williams-dunno why. "Spud" Couch "MIKE" Sheehan

Poor Max. Lucky weve got back up in the ruck stocks till he gets his knee fixed. Hope he can come back in during the year. Jamar, Stef, Clark will share the duties, along with Sellar perhaps.
