This is why we are we are. We consider players like sylvia as stars when they wouldn't even Rank in the top 50 players in the league.

I hate hawthorn. Bring on 2012.

Ugh. After all this scully talk in the herald sun, as rule of thumb i don't believe anything in the herald sun anymore. New weekly has more credibility.

I wish. I dread these hawthorn games.

Jack grimes losing a year of development.

I love the NO GAMEPLAN stuff. Do people actually believe that an afl level coach has no GAMEPLAN? "ok boys, get out there, run after the ball for 30 mins and I'll see you at quarter time.

It's def a concern. Thought all these blow outs were past us. In the last year or 2, we lost a bit, but I always walked away knowing they had a crack till the very last second. This year we have definitely given up on a number of occasions.

He is just so soft. I cringe watching his half assed contested situations. Harden up or get out.

Scullys latest interview on SEN after the game really shoots most my confidence about him staying. A lot of people have seen simlaritys between Ablett scenario last year but I havent until then. Scully has gone from saying "I want to be a 1 club player", to "I will make a decision at the end of the year", which means instead of giving the supporters the impression we are just nutting out the contract he is now admitted he's weighing up both offers. Gone.

Yes but although they have a lot of money to spend, its not endless. Getting Pendlebury brings the the next rung of players on significantly less money.

The question is who does GWS want as their marquee player? To think they would pay scully an ablett wage is a bit far fetched. Im sure they are after him no doubt, but their 2 million dollar man is Scott Pendlebury who only signed a 1 year extension. This would leave players like Scully, Palmer, Walker etc in the 600k-950k bracket. Scully WILL be in this bracket at Melbourne. Why would he leave?

According to dean, he was praying with the dalai lama and the dalai told him scully would stay. The debate is over!

Demitrious comments are so invalid. Yes other top draftees have left early but as far as the stats go they were heavily compensated which we wont be.

They're almost superhuman. Their fitness is just off the charts. In the last quarter they were moving around like the game had just started.

I think his manager was actually commentating, Marty Pask. Why Petterd is not in the seniors is beyond me. Is so far above this level its not funny. Seems to get dropped immediately after a quiet game. Mind you those games where when we got belted and he was playing predominantly as a forward. We will see Cook sooner rather than later.

I'd say if hes available he will play. Already missing bartram to play on someone like Dick who may come in, or Davis who may go forward.

I get more worried without them there as they will try to lift to replace them. Nonetheless it is a great oppurtunity if we bring our "A" game. With Watson and Hocking missing last week i thought our midfield would run too deep and would trouble them and turned out true. Another game under Scully and Trengoves belt is surely going to help. Step up Dees!

Very impressed with His agility last night. Turned a few small bomber players inside out last night.

Def a Bartel clone.

Good to see someone get into the players. They have mostly been terrible all year. Can't all be deans fault.

THIS. He is so underrated by posters on here. He is never going to be an elite kick, but in terms of zoning off in the backline he is one of the best in the game. We are a much better side with him in it.

Does this guy have a willingness to compete at all?

Has to play Casey. No player is good enough to come straight in. Frawley was a shadow of himself coming straight in. Same with Morton. Even ablett looked average round 2.

There is more chance that I will offer to work free to my boss for the remainder of my career than Melbourne winning any of these games. It's going to get ugly.

The development of martin has been a positive. When jamar comes in we know jamar can spend more time up forward.
