Agreed . It hardly a D-Day secret . Howe is a natural .If we can get the ball down quickly we really have some marking and kicking power at "Dunkirk" .

My first girlfriend was like the girl next door if you lived next to a hooker.-Also the great Steven Wright

Smell the cheese .

Nothing wrong with Jazz . Smoke and listen . Relaxo!

The Ox was a game-changer and a match winner . No wonder some of less talent like to slam the dude . He comes across as a guy who doesn't care but on the filed he cared about winning the game at any cost. On the punt he was some kind of freak also . Mortals on here and on radio , TV or print can say what they like . He had the killer instinct . The dude is a frickin Demon legend. Love or hate The OX Would you like to play on him or get him angry? No . So shut up .

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.
