Return to Glory

I may be in the minority but I'd take Waterman in a heartbeat if we could get him.

Yeah, I tend to start looking at the draft too QD. Haven’t done my research (other than hoping for no more St Kilda offcuts)

I'd consider resting TMac, Woey and Billings. Sparrow, Kolt and Jefferson in. Put Petty back.

Met the coaching staff at a Casey match v Port at Franga. At the time, wondered whether they needed at least one coach a little younger, less samish

Reckon that's pretty spot on

Tough loss. Great opportunity however to bring Jefferson in to work in tandem with JVR for the rest of the season. I know there are those who want to keep him in a humidicrib until he's 26...but now's the time to give him a crack.

Essendon

We are blooding the kids and we're leading at half time

DD, other than the end of quarter miss, he's been very good

It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'

We've been much better in the second half. Gives me hope

You'd think so, wouldn't you

And he then kicks 2

Don't worry. We've got Freo just where we want them. Goody has a fiendish plan.....make them accountable.

Like him but Kade Chandler has probably been gifted too many games.

Urgent message to Goodwin. Petty is not a ruckman. I repeat, Petty is not a ruckman.

Go Dees

■■■■ club. ■■■■ list. Senior players with lack of skill and composure. Mental minnows. And we come back for more every year. It’s like it’s scripted. I can’t believe people defense this rabble and particularly the list manager. He should be nowhere near the place. The only Dodo that continues to survive the extinction he deserves.

Might grab me some Dustin Fletcher Hangar action

Funny you should say that BBP. I’ve also wondered if Reid could be one of the great unfulfilled talents. Not sure why.

Two things we need from Kozzie long term. 1. To get to 200 games 2. To have a very, very big family

I've been highly critical of Petty for a fair while. Isn't a ruckman but I do think people have been a little tough on him tonight.

There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

Consult your local wacky tobacky dealer ET. Say it's urgent.
