the coach needs to be better with Sylvia. He is an OK forward, but a very good midfielder. needs to be played in the centre. Maybe with Grimes out Trengove or Sylvia will be stuck in the middle?

Amazing post.. spot on, list hasnt played enough

He shanked a few in the first quarter, but the last 3 quarters were good from Col someone agrees, we give him so much flak, but for real he is giving it a go finally. Col is playing well and has for already a fair bit now. Had a poor round 2, but other than that was great. Especially in the GWS and West Coast matches.

that is complete shower. He is one of the only ones that is explosive enough to do that at Melbourne. Dont take that for granted

yes, i retract my statement. Bring back Jetta and Dawes!

I think it shows the power of mature aged recruits! He has actually put a good 3/4 of a year together now and is playing good footy. I believe he is going to hit a new gear now as Grimes is out and a midfield position is going to open up. What is even more encouraging is that he is not just getting a few possessions he is kicking goals each week.

notice i didnt include Jamar in that core group. I'm so happy with Sylvia though, that goal today is starting to show his effort. He's a gun

In: Dawes Out: Grimes

we may not be a good team, but i actually feel as if now we have something to build on.

Has anyone noticed that a core group of players such as Matt Jones, Nathan Jones, Terlich, Garland, Howe, Gawnanator, Grimes, Viney,tMac and Tappy are starting to build a good core group. Oh and i forgot, especially Colin Sylvia, the guy has now put in a complete start to the year (except for the bombers game, which we all got obliterated). This core group, plus Clark, Dawes, Toump and Hogan to come in can actually make Melbourne into something. I seriously am confident that this can become our future. We may not be classy yet, but With Matt Jones and Nathan Jones these two ball magnets can lead us. Note have left out Watts andTrengove as i am really confused to the way they have been going lately, quite disappointed actually

unfair what you are saying about Dunn. how about: Completely Destroyed Judd! what a game from Dunny and hurt Juddy by kicking a goal

He needs to be at senior level. hell be right.

Probably Nathan Jones and Jack Grimes are my definites

i have a good idea in my opinion. So look, i think that we all agree Melbourne has a young and very talented squad. Develop your rookies and dont chase anymore (except for the top 3 pick we are going to get) and Hogan. Develop all of our young players such as Hogan, Viney, Toump, Trenners, Tappy, still Grimesy some more, Matt Jones, Kent, Terlich, Jetta, Gawn, Spencer.. get these guys to start to lead from the front and stop making Mitch and Jonesy so lonely (apart from Grimes) in that category. Get one star, i dont care who we trade, trade Watts i dont care. But get a star (someone on the same level as Beams), do whatever you can. Every team needs a real focal point and i dont care what any of you say, we dont have one. Clark was supposed to be, but he has spent a huge portion of his time at Melbourne in rehab. All we are missing is someone who can win clearances and rack up possies. You will see players like Trengove, Sylvia, Grimes and Jones flourish even more with someone like Beams in the team. We need someone to carry us so eventually it can be a team performance of carrying. It's really clear cut, players like Hogan will never develop if they dont get good delivery, as Watts never got delivery we had to stick him in the defence and it's safe to say the guy has never put in a decent tackle to save his life. Go dees! Finals in 2015 is my aim

Sylvia is playing?

love what you say about Toump

what a joke, how could you drop Bail. He puts serious forward pressure and hits his tackles with intent. Rewatch Melbourne and watch the way Bail tackles. He's a gun

Stick Blease on Yarran, make the kid accountable. I dont care if he learns a lesson, he needs to learn how to become a player. Out: Pederson, Rodan IN: Viney, Dunn Give Toump one more week in the VFL. Anyone saying that Sellar should be brought in needs to get real. He's a serious spud. Next week in comes Toump and Dawes..

the way Colin can and should

Lecras will not leave. He'd be great, but he wont leave

OK, you make a fair point. But with the step up of Trengove, Grimes and Jones it would be more likely of him stepping up.

Not really. it was to a contest

wow. Get him in.

Do whatever you can to get Luke Bruest or Dayne Zorko Than well be fine
