He reminds me a bit of Donald Trump, in that he has the utmost conviction in what he is saying (regardless of whether he makes any sense) and his passion draws people into what he is saying (regardless of whether he makes any sense). I couldn't stand him while he defended Essendon's illegal doping program, but don't mind him now. I think he is alot more switched on than how he comes across (with spurring his words and coming across incoherently) and he does ask some good questions and make reasonable observations. I should also add that Trump is a toxic individual and I don't see Robbo in the same light at all.

He can run through Cochin instead

I'd bring Weed in for Mitch Brown only. The following week v North we will probably need to find room for both Ben Brown and Fritsch, which will mean T-Mac and Fritsch alternating on the wing and will push out a mid-fielder. I think Luke Jackson has to play, he adds so much versatility to being able to move Gawn forward or back and is improving every week. Alternatively T-Mac would make an excellent option as a super sub.

Jolimont seems the obvious proposal for mine and I agree that I don't think it has been ruled out.

Is GB an East Melbourne resident who likes to walk his dogs around the park too? It all makes sense now, he and Misson working from the inside to thrawt the proposals from inside the club to keep their precious green space to wall their designer poodles. I bet Perty boy is in on it too.

Dave Misson?

Well said Youngwilliam. I honestly don't see how a group of East Melbourne residents can have any significant influence. Sure they might make some noise but I'd think we simply drive the Jolimont proposition and work with the State Government and City of Melbourne to make sure it happens. Send Mark Williams around there to sort them out.

I wouldn't throw Petty, were already thin as it is on fit KPP's and as fun as it sounds to pick someone up and throw them somewhere it wouldn't be very fun of he landed awkwardly and was injured as a result.

Fear not brothers, this is good news. Time for Mitch Brown to kick 23 goals v Hawthorn and win by 187 points.

The idea isn't without Merrett.

We are Melbourne, our home is in the MCG precinct and we shouldn't compromise because the decision will impact our club for the next 50+ years.

Fantastic news. Onward and upward Dees ?

I don't know chook, this all seems a bit sci-fi for me compared to running laps around the oval.

If he's going to be out for at least a few weeks then perhaps the club could investigate bonding adamantium to his bones, the same material used by Wolverine the fictional comic character.

There is only one error in this, replace "*Essendon were unable to play finals due to supplement saga" with "*Essendon were ineligible for finals due to sanctions issued for their illegal doping program throughout 2011 and 2012.".

I guess that's better than the dreaded 4-6 weeks.

Goodwin ruled this out in post match press conference. I reckon it is something to do with a) Tom's kicking b) Tom's kicking and C) Tom's kicking.

Didn't Roos play Daw at fullback with great success? I'd be happy with either option.

As much as it troubles me to defend Geelong, Hawkins had possession of the ball and was during a handball action when the contact was made. It would be a very slippery slope to be suspended under such a scenario.

Is this a situation where we need Gary Lyon to give them a rev up at half time, like when he got into Clarry's ear before Spuds Game a few weeks back?

I could be wrong but I believe you need to register via a Telstra mobile device and have wifi disabled so that it validates you are on a Telstra cellular service. This worked for me and I'm on a Boost subscription, which uses Telstra network. $5 per month for Kayo is unbelievable value for Melbourne Football Club digital subscription.

This frustrates me to no end. I get that there is pressure to fit the best players into the side, however, unless the player is the best selection for a particular position then they shouldn't be in the side. The half forward flank s a classic position to stack with midfielders rather than a genuine half forward player.this said, congratulatións to Hank and Zanker and Go Dees!

Sorry Turner, I must of accidentally responded to your post instead of one of the others that mentioned salary cap space.

Who says we are tight on salary cap space? I find it preposterous that the club wouldn't allow enough space in our salary cap to retain the services of Oliver, Petracca and Salem. There is a reason we haven't brought in any big name players on $1 million per season and that's because the clubs footy department has backed players like Clarry and Petracca to be our own superstars.

Because we weren't offering up to $1 million per season for players like Brad Hill and Jack Martin when we desperately needed wingers. I reckon the club has made sure it has enough to retain players such as Oliver, Petracca and Salem on contracts which are fair, demonstrate the value we place on them and don't compromise our future list position.
