Yeah ill go. Its only 2 train stops from the G guys. Although i loathe Telstra dome. Its a soulless place. I kiss the ground going to the G after seeing a dome game.

You never know. As crazy as it sounds maybe dean bailey is trying to win the match? Bringing in experience for experience.

Yeah but bruce has had 10 years to get his kicking right, so its obviously not going to get better now. At least those kids you mentioned have some scope for improvement.

Some at least closer games. What did we get beaten by today? 40 odd points? And thats a victory for us apparently because we didnt get beaten by 100 points. Get beaten by 7 goals every week and the confidence will drop and we may see some of those 100 point margins again. If they can take todays effort to perth they WILL beat the eagles. But they usually leave any effort at tullamarine airport. When was the last time we won interstate anyways?

Seriously can we start another board where "supporters" who dont want us to win can go talk about draft picks for the next 2 years.

Am i the only one on here that rates Bennell? Why does he need a spell? Hes doing a great job.

Hahhaa yeah that was the turning point for me. Hes my most hated player by far.

I think Gary purposely acts a bit naive about melbourne issues so he doesnt seem like Eddie or Brayshaw who are so biased in the media. When you have a job in the media you cant be respected if you are constantly building up your favoured club. Look at how hated eddie has become.

I think the only way we will be semi competitive is to throw the tactics out the window, play man on man and absolutely rev these kids up to put your head over the ball, take risks etc. Be first to the ball at all costs.

Perhaps someone threw it away on purpose.

Its a shame Bruce never lived up to those lofty heights. I remember him absolutely destroying James hird in the Troy Broadbridge match. At one stage after again outplaying hirdy and leaving him for dead in the centre square hird slammed the ground in anger. You didnt see that very often.

Who cares? If i had hit my girlfriend id let you guys boo me.

The AFL really do us no favours with these terrible draws.

Hmm they arent ideal but it was either bate or monfries.

In robbo out newton. Newton is rubbish. Does terrible things 9 times out of ten. Those who continually say to drop bennell obviously don't even watch the games. I love his tackling.

I cant see Maric coming in till someone has a stinker. Dunn, Bartram did their jobs last week, why would Bailey drop them.

I think we will still finish bottom 4-5 at best so we are still going to get a top 5 pick regardless. Dont be greedy like carlton. Its not a guarantee for success. I might be wrong here but i believe Luke hodge was the first no 1 draft pick to win a flag? Including a top 5 pick this year we really have a great base to work with. Bottoming out is not the only way to win flags. Just ask geelong.

It was AAAAGGGEESS ago. Sometime in the late 80s i think.

Someones gotta tell him hes the full forward. Hes seems to want to pass it off. Theres no reason why he cant kick bags of 7 or so

Im not sold. He did some awful things today. Body on body he isnt strong.

Yeah my heart will bleed. Ha.

Yep only one goal. Not good enough. Another wasted first round draft pick

In the paper Bailey sort of allured to the fact they could have already had him playing for the dees. I think the only thing holding this kid back is school. 10 goals this arvo for sure.

Anyone doing iphone updates today from the match?
