Add Brayshaw and VanDemon on the bench. Who do you drop to make way.

Our First!

Did we have a different lot of players on the ground in the 2nd half? Who went missing?

This is the other new winter wear The old logo. When are they going to surprise us with the new Melbourne Brand

6 kicks 4 handballs....... 33 DT points. No improvement

Don't hate Clark. Just Looove Lumumba a whole lot more.

I must have had dejevu status. I down graded from legend to basic redleg. and in doing so got rid of all the yearly roll over extras. No pet membership... and he doesn't miss it. No money per win. No money for recruitment. Gee it's good to have an extra $70 per month in the kick. That's half a tank of petrol.

At least they haven't got Andy Maher in that time slot. His whining voice just turns off my radio.

The best team will not be on the park. They will balance the group so that each player will play 2 games in the NAB challenge. IMHO this week will be our strongest team available. Next week we will rest Hogan and a few others that can be dropped because of game time.

It was stating the bleeding obvious at he time.He started coaching melbourne that preseason. Yes the best development coach would turn a raw talent into a champion. And bears Shite in the woods is pretty normal. As is dogs smell other dogs bums. No nothing to do with your comment different club, different circumstance.

I remember when I was at Etihad Stadium watching the U/18 championships. My mate who was a recruiter with Port Adelaide text Dean commenting on Nic Nat. That the best development coach could turn him into a champion. His comment back was " And bears can [censored] in the woods"

I didn't go, but it sounds like a total PR stuff up. The question needs to be asked of the people at the top that were in charge of the organising. You just can't treat the supporters like rubbish. We have been treated like rubbish for so many years, it has obviously become 2nd nature.

That's all very well but did you give him a winner?

I enjoyed the style of play they were playing. I can't remember when our midfielders were on top of centre clearances and stoppages. The first kick after clearance let us down so often. Newton was brilliant first Q. Tyson was great all night. Hogan was a bit frustrated and went into the midfield to get his hands on the ball. Ball handling in general was a bit rusty, they will work through that in the next month. Van den berg showed his worth. H showed the backline the way to do it. Frost was classy big and fast. Everything is good and has improved on last year.

I'll take that bet. What odds do you want?

Midfield is good. Forwards are all over the shop. Matt jones Rohan Bail Grimes are useless. Do you think Howe Vince Viney may be handy?

Jamar to crack under pressure from 10m

Walters beat grimes by yards. Goal to freo Walters just walked inside grimes passed to pav and another goal 3 to pav. Grimes will not play this year.

When will the saints make the finals?

You answered your own question.They are ageing hasbeens. Has beens are cheaper than head liners.

Except from The Age The Dees will be close to full strength against Fremantle with only Bernie Vince (hamstring), Jeremy Howe (hamstring), Dean Terlich, Jack Fitzpatrick and Jack Trengove (foot) sitting out the match. Have they forgotten someone? Mr. Watts.

Shaun not Steve. But I know your joking. Also played for the Dees in the little league. When he walked around the CHF before the bounce he thrust out his chest and looked a lot like superman. But played more like Lois Lane. Best and Fairest in 1981. The first year under Barassi I reckon that was the worst credentialed Melbourne Side I have witnessed

No excuses a day off. Starts at high noon. Go to Moomba then back to Gosch's paddock for a snag and a coffee. Bring the ladies and kids. They may be lucky enough to get some autographs.

Pre season ends?
