Return to Glory

Mr Moose, it goes without saying that you won't see a Melbourne Premiership in your life time. My daughter is 5 and even with advances in medicine, she won't either. It's how you deal with it that matters. Go Dees.

Did you really feel the need to reply at 12.40am?

PMan, Montagna and Sewell are almost finished. Let's not become the pension plan. Do agree re Thomas though.

Don't overlook Michael Evans. He looked the equal to all but Jones prior to injury.

Looking at Saint Mick's results with the Blues, it's fair to say Ratten was a little unlucky to be removed. Did far better than Malthouse. and make no mistake, MM was brought to Carlton for instant success. They're revising history a little there. Is Ratten in the mix here?

Great post.

I reckon he's worth 2. So another 5

Off topic (sorry) but how bloody good is Nathan Fyfe. He is brilliant in close and out. Imagine sticking him in a Melbourne side.

After careful consideration, I wish to make the following amendment. The sky is, in fact, falling in. We're doomed. Doomed I say.

At the risk of being howled down, didn't most of us think this would be the way it went? Our last 4 games have been poor and the club is in the middle of significant change. We were insipid but the sky is not falling in.

It almost goes beyond skill level and goes to personality type. We seem to have a huge deficit in arrogant f#cks. I know they lost today, but the Hawks are chock full of them.

My God we are an insipid team. I've been thinking about the key moments of the game and keep coming back to the boys being reactive rather than proactive. So shite scared of failure that they go into their shells and don't take the game on.

I rang and said I was a Dee supporter. The woman said there wasn't a great prognosis for me.

And Taggert can't get a game.

Will not happen. I prefer, what if we won the Premiership in 2017?

Lets hope it mentions jail time for Golden Boy

No. And I suspect he needs to get a sense of where he sits in the pecking order these days.

I'd rather pick him up in the second round if available which may be wishful thinking.

I do think he would be a good acquisition. However, Lucas Cook had one of the greatest youtube clips of all time. And I was sold.

Yes, let's appeal to everyone who possesses snow chains regardless of car type.

The only problem that I can see regarding the Bummers not playing finals is that it may allow the original roid lovers, West Coke Eagles a chance to play in them.

Where'd he go? I thought we had him at 'fresh meat'.

Said the Christian Brother

Either way, there must be some QC's licking their chops.

Our problem in the midfield is twofold IMO. We don't win the contested footy and when we do our spread is painfully slow. With that in mind I would have thought we need another inside mid that compliments Jones and hopefully Viney and a Fyfe type that is predominantly a run and carry but can get his own ball. For mine, Aish falls into the latter category and the second selection, mature age or otherwise needs to be bigger bodied. Wines showed a first year player can achieve this. And Port showed this does not necessarily need to be a four year process.
