We need 3 midfielders and we need them as of next year. With Hogan coming in I'd trade one of Frawley or Watts for a top line mid. We'll never compete without them.

This is interesting. We can have the best backline or fowardline in the comp but no point if our mids cant get there hands on it. But you only get what you pay for and ATM Frawley or Watts are only worth B grade at best, we have to offer something substantial, something along the lines of the Carlton/Judd deal.

Lets say we go after Patty Dangerfield or Trent Cotchin. Who do we have that is worth someone that good...

Now I know this is going to sound ridiculous and I am sure there will be an enslaught of abuse but there is only one player that will land us a big fish...

Hogan.

I remember last year when we were playing Geelong(?) in a delayed telecast, and it was close, and with ten minutes or so to go they ahd an add for the up coming news and when they mentioned sport it showed us walking of the ground looking a little unhappy... couldnt believe it.

At least they showed something early. It's been our killer for 2 years now, 2 or 3 good quarters and one terrible. And not only is it bad but it's 10 goals+ bad. Want to see us win the last quarter now

^ Great work

Come on Russian that's funny

24 to 32 at quarter time WC way. Good start though

There is a pulse

Is grimes of a half back flank on the Frenchmen?

Captains Goal

Seen a guy buying these yesterday, bit below the belt I know but I couldnt help myself...

He is ... Good little player too very solid around goals

I know your goiong to want to watch more of the Casey and Melbourne players, but would you mind keeping a little eye on him for me Tingles?

KC is the rover for Noet Bill Driscoll? I went to school with him, would love to hear how he goes

This is the attitude we need. This is what the Melbourne Football Club needs. Stand together. Will we beat West Coast tomorrow? Probably not. Will we play finals this year? I doubt it. Will we stand together and march foward as one? You bloody bet.

MFC forever, stand and be counted and lets move foward.

And when our day comes let us never forget how hard it was. We will drive the boots in. We will be ruthless and we will be proud.

Lets go Dees!

I'm sorry, what? You can't see much upside in Gawn? You've got to be kidding. Not only did he dominate in the ruck last week in just his second game back from a year-long lay-off, but he also led the tackle count, converted when up forward, and had 20 disposals.

Oh, also, he's 208cm tall...the second tallest player in the league.

Sure, there's chance that he could go the way of many of our other recruits and not live up to his potential, but I have no idea how somebody could not see his upside.

I think you will find he is third behind Sandilands at 211 and Witts down at Collingwood at 209 from memory...

But agree with the post.

We won't win with a third world midfield and no ruckman. And BTW Garry Lyon no longer has the right to. All himself a demon

If sacking the CEO makes us win this weekend fair dinkim I'll eat my hat while baring my ass on bourke st.

Keep Jamar in so I can make Cox my supercoach captain.

Very good in patches. Runs hard, kicks long and has a bit of a mean streak. The question is whether he's ready.

In your infinite wisdom will he get a call up? There is something I like about him. Maybe the mean streak and LONG left boot

Kent looking good KC?

Didn't get any smart comments (But I'm 6'3 and 120 kilos so not surprised) but I shot another score under 105 (yes I know I'm not very good) but the old bloke in the pro shop is Essendon and he said he felt sorry for us supporters.

Don't feel sorry for me. We need unity so we can rise on our own

Could t agree more we need to stand together.

I am playing golf today and I am wearing my Melbourne shirt and carrying my Melbourne bag proudly. First smart ass is getting PUNCHED IN THE FACE.

Do things the hard way. Drag players out of bed At 5 tomorrow morning for a ten k time trial. Put sanctions on them like children.

I don't know, fold?

If this rubish keeps up we may have to "Boo" admin off the ground...

Too soon?

Hope I don't miss your news HG I've always listened to what you have to say. Feel free to PM me your views and opinions I am curious as to what is going to happen to our club in the next 12 months

There is a cancer at our club. How many new players have we all seen come in a show a glimmer of talent only for it to disappear. I don't think it would matter who we drafted over the past decade, they a seem to end up lazy and clueless. Is this the fault of the players? Or of the last 2 coaches and coaching staff? Maybe the Footy department ? Who knows what it is but it crushes any player that comes into contact with it. We need to find out where it is and fast. Untreated there is only one outcome, death of the football club.

Well I hope it changes very soon cos I would rather see Jack Viney flourish at another club than waste away at Melbourne.
