Well said, no longer a Demon, whatever he does is irrelevant

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

Just shows the level of umpiring when Nichols gets a final.

Why will we get a tougher draw? Its 3 blocks of 6 teams, we'll be in the same position as this year.

Did anyone else hear on sen this morning talking about the umpires not wanting to retain the bounce because of too many injuries. It went on for a while then some caller from WA rang in to say he was involved with the umpires and the problem is most of their " top or best" umpires were too old, that's why they are copping injuries. They then went on to list all those 40 and over, talk about a dad's army there were about 8 of them. He also said because they get paid so well now none of them want to give it away, but its holding back the development of those in their 20's.

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

If he'd played against Essendon he'd at least got body on Daniher, not let him have a free run at the ball

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
