I think our midfield is our biggest problem but there has been a bit of grunt and a bit of class added and that will take time. Our foward line looks solid with 2 monsters and now a few experienced crumbers. Our backline is solid also with 2 key position players and a few versatile defenders. The thing I think that could help us is a run and carry defender with a long kick accurate kick. Strauss. I think he can cement his spot of a half back flank with this kind of attacking play, if he cant what else can he do?

Max Walker?

We cant even tank properly... If your dumb enough to record yourself cheating for god sake dont let anyone find it

^ Immortal! One a serious note when I played (and it wasn't much and I wasn't good) I tried to listen to "pump up" music and I ran around like a headless chook. But when I listened to some soft music to calm me down like opera or something I played a lot better. I found I was more focused when I was calm... Should work for watts anyway

How is the big guy going all you people who get to training? I remember a game once we lost a few years ago by a small margin, may have even been the 1 point loss to the pies. Russian played a big game and they interviewed him after the game and he was devestated we lost, the bloke doing the interview kept saying "you had a huge game today, x amont of tap outs" and this kind of thing and the big Russian kept saying how he should have done more and he felt bad he couldnt help the team win Seems like the kind of bloke who could thrive under Neeld, big year?

I can't make the link work. I love muse : (

I'm going back to demonology at least they talk about footy and not [censored] about the ABC or whatever

That statement there sums it up I think, dont get me wrong I love Jones but he hasnt got the class. If Treners, Viney and Toumpas can make Jones our forth best mid we are heading in the right direction.

My brother got me a signed, framed Jim Stynes jumper. It is a 2011 jumper with the new emblem, Hankook sponsor. He signed the front with "Jim Stynes 1991 Brownlow Medalist. Its AWESOME!!! Its my missus birthday in a week and we are getting a Melbourne emblem sticker made up to cover the whole back window

What if we have a bad year? A few injuries and lose a few close games? Who would coach us if we sacked Neeld? Who would want too? What would they do different? He needs more than 2 years to change the sh!t that we have been for the last 6 years, there will be KPI's but it couldnt be win/lose. I think he is the right man for the job if he is given enough time. Dont get me wrong I'd love to see more wins than losses but I think when Neeld took over we all agreed to take a journey... On the reality bus

Of course they can sit where ever they want, and drink what ever they want, same as you and I. And once they have had too much they will be kicked out same as you and I. Difference is you and I wont make front page news tarnishing the brand name of our employer. For what its worth I agree, who cares, they got drunk and got kicked out of the MCG, we all know it dosnt take much to get kicked out. But it is what it is. Weather or not they should be allowed to get [censored] at the cricket without making news is a seperate issue. Fact is if any player from any AFL club is caught in public drunk making an idiot out of himself it will make the papers, so dont let it happen. If you want to get on it with the boys at the cricket in the off season, come play for Yarra with Fev for $2000 a game. But if your gonna stick you hand out for the big AFL dollars then thats the trade off.

Couldnt agree more, Im from Corowa where Kozi went to school. He came to a school reunion in a pub my missus owned and was blind, tryed to shout the whole bar Jager shots (not enough Jager) picked up the tab for the last half hour for the hunderd people in there, then went back and partied at some dudes house (where they fed him Carlton Draught cans with the collingwood team photo on it). Apparently some time after that a few other St Kilda boys came up and they were stuffing around on his parents farm I presume and someone got run over by a four wheeler. Never heard this boring story have we, why? BECAUSE IT WASNT IN BAY 13 ON NATIONAL TV! I really think players need some kind of nanny to stop them making silly choices. So what they got [censored] and played up, but for god sake do it at home. And to those who say "they are only young adults, let them be boys" I say no. When you sign a contract for $300,000+ a year there are some things you are expected to give up and getting dragged out of bay 13 on boxing day is one of them.

If Richmond dont make the eight, should Hardwick be getting nervous? I think he has done a good job and I like him as a coach, but when you start throwing the word finals around before christmas the heat will come, look at Rats last year. I think I even read something about Richmond and top 4 somewhere, but that person obviously had no idea and therefore should be left out.

That is really cool! My missus has an old looking plaque with all our premierships on it (so potentially nearly 50 years old!) ill see if i can get a photo up

Santa got me a signed framed Jim Stynes jumper! What a champ!

Hurricane Viney gonna tear up the G can't wait it's all I want for Christmas next year is a highlight package!

Yeah the 50+ league

Hurricane Viney? Gold!

How do you punish individuals? Dean Bailey is working at Port Adelaide isnt he? If they ban him for 12 months thats going to affect Port and its got nothing to do with them.

We play this game to win. We don't play be be the team with the most potential or the team who might win a flag in 5 years if player x y and z come on. Win round 1 then move onto round 2.

I think these are the players who have to lift for us to improve. Tappy, Watts, Trenners, Blease, Bail. Blokes that have been there a few years now. Green, Rivers and Moloney were all experienced players. I know we have added Byrnes Rodan and Dawes but our middle men need to follow Jones' lead and go up a notch. Then we might become competitive

Must of been because of the war why else would you have to wait 3 years?
