This is a great post and I hope you are right I wouldnt say you were a fool as I also supported a different approach and supported Neeld while recogniszing he was an untried option. Not only sport is 80% above the shoulders, when all else is equal in any competition the difference will be above the shoulders. Roos seems to be able to massage that component so lets hope it works or we will all be in the foolish camp.

I reckon thats them though mine were sourced in the Tamar Valley

Dont forget the cherries best in the world and should be in season.

Just saw this, brilliant!

I think your right WJ could have been a burst of testosterone trying to make something happen ....dont know that i would be too harsh on him for that will wait and see how focused he is today.

not so much funny as unfortunate. He hasnt had success but has kept the pressure on with his pace. Still it is a team game and there are many components to team success as we well know. Today is another day and will prove how critical yesterday was.

Not so much funny as unfortunate. He hasnt bowled with success but has still kept the pressure on today is another day. But it is a team game and there are many components to success as we know.

Keep em in the heat and chasing leather and then put them out to face the pace They may wilt under the heat of a sustained mitchattack Today will be the critical day of the series

Have you got time to look for some sponsors?? Just taking in the tv coverage of sports over there you may find an emerging company who may be ready to expand to Australia or a company who has an international presence but is not yet involved in the AFL Have a great time

I think the problem for you and all Melb Dlanders is that we have exhibited too many restrictions in previous actions to be eligible for the "unrestricted trade period".

Great response BUT Where the heck is this?? and what does it signify in reality

Would need to be a recognised govt approved offset training program Could incorporate acclimatisation training in the mines and additional Northern Territory presence as part of subsidised partnership bonus. May also need some rehabilitation and education outcomes to achieve the philanthropic nature of his give aways.

Its great that you blokes are keeping your finger on the pulse even when away with that sort of dedication explained to our players their efforts and intensity may improve. Get the job done over there(nuptials)and return refreshed and renewed to get the list sorted out. Dont care how many poms yanks or refugees you source as long as they add balance to the list. Await return with anticipation Oh and do enjoy the vicarious tourist role provided from your outlines keep up the good work thanks

Have we stumbled on the faceless men behind the dees While RL and WJ are taking an extensive wedding break all trading done by MFC ceases We can only wait to see the expenses claim for this wedding when the signed forms for the internationalised Demon recruits are lodged and amid a flurry of reporters their feet hit the tarmac at Melbourne Keep it under wraps with coded talk of bananas while letting the mainstream press divert itself with imaginings of Buddys contract The next headline Melbourne surprises with foreign legion tipped to take flag

Thanks BF on TV I thought they were doggies Red white and Blue Now I have another team to support through finals although it is a pity about Melbourne (Storm)

Its a grand old flag Milawa version was not only sung for the senior victory reported previously But I was informed last night that the Milawa football and netball teams won every grand final at every level in the league last week. The 4 netball teams included teams that had not lost a game for the season and the under 17,s was the only flag they didnt win as they have a combined whourouly milawa side perhaps we need to send some of the melbourne boys up to learn a little bit about the path to success. Its a a grand old flag and a grand old club

Further to my previous re success of Milawa demons. Are there any other red and blue finalists in other leagues?

Its good to see the demon colours triumph across the nation Milawa had a comprehensive victory over Glenrowan in the grand final Dont know that there's any prospective recruits and imagine there will be plenty of Brown Bros product consumed as well as the usual Mad Monday ale.

Well I have been thinking about this for some time and have seen that there is a diversity of opinion on Jack so will add mine I admire the courage of a kid with a diverse skill set accepting a number one ranking knowing the scrutiny this would place himself under I admire the courage of a kid double and triple teamed, monstered by an opposition set on intimidation in his first match, with little support from teammates I admire the courage of a kid surrounded by teammates without his heightened skills unable to use him to advantage I admire the kid turning up week after week being thrown around by coaches wanting to cover deficiencies with one of the few skilled resources they had I admire the courage of a player not throwing himself into situations that would result in injury I admire the courage of a player not lasing out and being suspended I admire every player who pulls on the demons jumper knowing they will receive little support from the umpires when they are shoved in the back or hit in the head I admire the courage of jack watts in taking the time to consider his future career possibilities when he is about to enter the most critical stage of his career development I hope the club get this right so that all Melbourne supporters can continue to admire his courage as he helps our team to some long overdue success

Wholegrain bread I hope to enhance the nutritional benefits of the peanut butter and banana combination. Like a good team the attributes of each individual component needs to be recognised and enriched with an appropriate combinbation of different yet complementary values. With the right strategy I could see that this could become the match day supplement to put MFC ahead of the rest just like Hirdy and essendun OH Wait..........

Not quite the same league Sorry to divert you but I was in a state of near exhaustion and was playing with a new technology tablet (not the Essendon type) while the cycling race (LA Vuelta) was on in the background Orica do resonante as doing many things well and I include the latest, (a quote from one of the cyclists re-signing for another season "The team spirit is the most important thing for me. It’s a team full of fighters. We don’t have a lot of riders on paper who can win big races, but we’re always there. In the team’s first year, people didn’t think we’d get results because we didn’t have a lot of big names, but we did. That’s because of the team spirit.” This is an Australian team including other nationalities which has indeed exceeded expectations As I said MFC could do well to observe their practicesa

MFC could do worse than watch LA Vuelta and emulate the culture and character of the Orica Green edge team

Good on you and scoop for extending the demon support line I always enjoy your comments and can remember seeing Scoop jnr on the land Congrats for the marriage and may there be many more demons to come They can even support liverpool if they want

Not sure about the well coached strategically. Certainly an improvement and some flexibility but watts in defence in last quarter when suns kicked around him and we needed someone to finish in the front end was an obvious fail. On the other hand the treatment on Ablett rotations and constant niggling by all players was a master coaching tactic. At least and at last some positive signs

Im enjoying reading all the comments as I dont get to see many games only the televised highlights. Did go to QB and was surprised at Toumps size as on this site he was described as small. I did think he was underutilised and thought this may have been the coach . pleased to see he shown a little more last week and I reckon he will become a very good player when he adjusts to the requirements of this level. As others are saying he is only 5 games into the business I dont expect him to dominate every game just yet.
