Laurie Fowler, good get, won 3 best and fairest awards, also spent some time ruck roving.

I'd swap Greg Wells and Brian Wilson, better player over their careers

It should be noted two thirds of the press had Hogan definitely going back to WA

I think your last sentence sums it up.

We already have Watts playing that role (the panicking that is. )

Just totally undisciplined

Tend to agree, always seems to play better when up the ground

These comments were made weeks ago and nothing since, certainly before freo's demise and Melbournes rise

Crackers Keenan thinks he's going

People need to remember, votes aren't cast for each game. Petracca should be a good chance as long as he plays a reasonable amount of games.

Amen

Fair enough

Yes it does , so why so many suggested alternatives

I must say in what is mooted to be a shallow draft, there seems to be plenty of players being suggested for our picks.

Not looking great is it?

Of course we''re so chock full of leaders with successful experience and blokes who have shown they can play at a consistantly high level.

Is he still at Geelong, thought he was at Casey. Had to be one

Point being it looks like a few of the older Geelong players aren't going to get their contracts renewed. Surely there is someone there who can bring some of that winning culture to Melbourne. (I'm talking premiership players)

He's a winner and they're certainly in short supply at MFC

Look a bit deeper

Stevie J surely he would bring something to our club, been at a very successful and professional club. Knows how to win and is an extrovert unlike the rest of our leaderless lot.

So he won't be getting over them then?

Guess what, looks like we've avoided Japan altogether

All the players have been asked to step it up. We've been mired in mediocrity for too long! Didn't read the article as casting aspersions on anyones prospects myself.

Have noticed that when he's playing well & confidence is up he's more than willing to chase & tackle. Its when he's out of form that this part of his game drops off.Think this critisism of him is overplayed, Its not that he's unwilling its more a case of confidence.
