Rawlings Leaves
Demons, I don't entirely agree with that. I saw enough games at Casey to witness a coach with the capacity to completely hold player attention (certainly within a game day context) I'd also suggest that many would have thought similar about Hardwick prior to success and Clarkson when he first started.

Tom Lynch Incident (incl. Dimma vs The Ox)
The tribunal system is now a complete mess. Lynch should have copped his whack well before they sent him to the tribunal. And, for mine, they sent him there on a strike that was always going to undermine the overall case. As for Grimes, that's a case of statistics and damn lies. Proving you can justify anything and the overturning of the staging fine does just that. It's pretty much saying 'what you see with your own eyes is not what you actually saw'. But, of course, they'll now want to show that they mean business and it won't be with a powerful club or a club that the AFL pays the bills for .i.e. the Suns. We'll be in the gun as will be Norf, Carlton, Freo and Saints. Yes, I'm paranoid.

Just finished watching the Saints game. Let's hope for rain, mud.

Robert Muir
I think most have made the comments I would have liked to have made. Suffice to say, incredibly sad. An indictment on the period he played in and our tendency to pay lip service to the plight of too many of our indigenous players post-footy career. As a sIight departure, I will say that the Australian media tends to be terrified of long form journalism. This ABC article is an example of the impact it can have when done well.

CHANGES: Rd 14 vs St Kilda
Spot on. He is rarely in a 'who do we drop' conversation. There's a fine line between looking laconic and just being passive. He's become a passive footballer.

CHANGES: Rd 14 vs St Kilda
We're not in a position to drop Salem but, to be honest, I wish we were. I listened to the game rather than watch it. I then looked at a few highlights (or lowlights in Salem's case) For mine, there were at least a couple of instances where he had a chance to impact a contest and just didn't. The most galling was when a Bulldog player ran forward and had a shot for goal with Salem trailing behind seemingly in a jog. It's easy to look at clips out of context but it certainly wasn't 'put it all out there' stuff. Maybe I'm being unfair.

Tom McDonald
That's not what you said though Elegt. I'm not here to be an apologist for his recent performances but that's a far cry from the player being a 'disgrace to the jumper'. That's moving into keyboard warrior territory that's removed from the reality. And the reality is that Tom Mc Donald has been a great clubman of the Melbourne Football Club. Whenever he hangs up his boots, he can look back with pride at what he's achieved. Forums are for opinions but your opinion (this time) is ill-conceived and wrong.

Tom McDonald
He's not a disgrace to the jumper. You may not want McDonald to play again but don't throw out dumb comments.

My 3 word player analysis V Footscray
It's a tricky one. You want to get games into him but, on current output alone, you'd do just as well (imo) giving Toby Bedford a go
