Not sure if this has been covered, but, is there a reason as to why Barry is missing from the squad?

Every member on the board should read the "corporate governance principles and recommendations". the document is less than 50 pages and should not be treated as a recommendation by the club but as the framework that is to be administered to avoid the club from total failure. Principle 1: lay solid foundations for management and oversight Principle 2: structure the board to add value Principle 3: promote ethical and responsible decision making Principle 4: safeguard integrity in financial reporting Principle 5: make timely and balanced disclosure Principle 6: respect the rights of shareholders Principle 7: recognise and manage risk Principle 8: remunerate fairly and responsibly Change is definitely required at the club, and these 8 principles will help the change run smoothly.

Not happy the club forced Bruce, Green & McDonald out of the side. The leadership they could have provided.

Dean has played two VFL games into an AFL career. He's got some really exciting attributes and he had a taste in the NAB Cup. We hope he would gain a taste in the AFL at some stage this season, but he will take a bit of time. - Aaron Greaves. ​What a [censored] poor excuse. Same thing was said about Lucas Cook.

Late starter! I wonder how many nominations he will get this year.

How many games have they won coming in as favourite? Not including GWS & GC. Odds mean very little, more so where there is less than $1 in it.

Melbourne should fly him here via a WebJet ticket, rent a Hertz car to get him to the club, then give him keys to a new Opel Insignia, with the boot full of MFC New Balance gear... And just let him know there is a contract in the glove box!

All this talk about Magna being slow is ridiculous. He showed plenty last year before being played in a negative role. Yes, VFL is not at the same level as AFL, however, he and Couch clean up in VFL. Magna should be drafted in this years draft, play him when he plays his best football, and that WILL equate to more clearences in our favour. Couch should also be elevated if room on the senior list permits.

Only if they could have mirrored the first half. A loss against GWS should surely kill what is left of the confidence of the players. I don't care if Melbourne beat GWS by 1 point or 186, we all want 4 points, I want to hear the song... I really want to hear the song.

How was Gawns taps? To Casey players or Jamar-esk?

Come on Dees bring in Gawn & Kent. Toumpas to play for casey to bring back a little confidence. Tapscott should have played another week. All this talk about consistency and he comes back after 1 good game. Most players play well in thumping, I want players who fight hard when the chips are down. Keep it up Hogan, you are making me moist...

Cam Pedersen: Cam was required to play in defence, as Troy Davis withdrew from the game with illness. In a much improved performance, Cam finished with 21 disposals and took 11 marks, which included a couple going back with the flight. Cam will take plenty of confidence from this game.

Colin Sylvia & Sam Blease both had 7 possessions each against the bombers.

He was supposedly solid in defence.. Only ducked 12 times!

So Sylvia has stuck his GPS on the back of Vineys!

According to Burgs & Slattery, Sylvia has a good work rate. What are they watching?

Comment From Phil How close was Sylvia to being dropped? Hi Phil, Sylvia's stats do not reflect his work rate last week. We hope he will continue that work rate and be rewarded accordingly. Paul.

I dont go for him... I go for the beards

Not disagreeing with you, however, Sylvia has been horrendous for years now, and yet he remains in the side.

What does Sylvia need to do to be omitted from the side?

Maybe we can upgrade Gillies groin to LTI and upgrade Magner... Also how ironic Gillies is out with Groin... No balls in that area!!!

My sauce says its tartar!!!
