  1. Not the best new, however, there are a few positives. Mitch Clark will have the screw removed and play the last 8-10 games and have a FULL PRE SEASON at years end. Magner or Couch can be elevated from the rookie list to provide much needed grunt in the middle, and maybe lift the clearance stats. (that is of course Clark can be put on the LTI list) Jack Watts to play up forward. I know I will be shot down for this, however, Watts will have more help in the forward line.. Thats my view on it all, I do not see this as doom and gloom.
  2. Round 5 VFL player report via MFC James Magner: Jimmy had 32 disposals, seven hard ball gets and six tackles. He again led the team around the stoppages and continually worked the ball out of congestion. His form has been very good. Tom Couch: Tom played a negating role on one of Williamstown's prime midfielders and was still able to win 28 disposals. He also led the side in contested possessions and tackles. The above is stock standard for both players @ VFL, No doubt both players will be elevated this year. I could not see Stark or Clisby being elevated over these two... Unless of course these two average 40 hard ball gets, average 20 clearances per game and kick 6 goals a game!
  3. Bail is looking very good. I was very excited when he had the ball in his hands. Only if he could have kicked a little straighter...
  4. Evans & Nicholson were both promoted rookies. I can only assume they were both promoted over Magner is due to the amount of years on the list. It may be Magner & Couch that will be promoted this year, actually, it definitely should be Mangner & Couch.
  5. God that Moloney is a crap footballer, Im glad MFC got rid of him.... Same goes for McLean.
  6. Because drafting has been awesome by us...
  7. Either goal for goal or put it at the top of the square.. It was a stupid decision from a senior player.
  8. Lets hope today was his last day as a defender.
  9. It was a great hand ball from Sylvia wasn't it!!!!
  10. Are Melbourne that bad that the Carlton game next week is an automatic loss.
  11. Blease has no sun screen on today... Something is defiantly not right about today.
  12. You should check out the other odds on www.BensonBet.com.uk
  13. As much as we hate Collingwood, you have to give them kudos for what Eddie & co have done for the Collingwood brand. I would kill to have a Eddie type personality under MFC. Side note, I was told that Collingwood now have their own sports label... Is this true?
  14. Now that the anti obesity drug has been banned, does this mean Cale Morton will put on size?
  15. BensonBet is offering 50,000:1 for the Demons to make the top 12 & 30,000:1 to make the 8 the following year... 2015, Demons to make the 8 will be 10:1. bets can be made via www.BensonBet.com.uk
  16. This was said re 2013, 2012 etc etc. Far to often pre season builds us all up, and by the end of round 1 most of us are deflated.
  17. Agree 100% Seeing as though Watts was a emergency for Clark last week, he surely should play up forward this week. Although.... When Clark & Dawes return, Jack Watts should stay up forward, this would stretch the opposition defenders... When the ball comes in that is!
  18. Did anyone catch the full interview? I caught the tail end of the interview & there was a question asked of him regarding an altercation between Neeld & one of the assistants. Neeld responded by saying, for anyone who wants to write that crap I will see you in court (Definitely not those words)
  19. At the end of the day come years end, the salary cap will have an additional $450,000 pa with the departure of JW. Maybe throw that at Dion Prestia?
  20. And Jack Watts says we do not have on field leaders like Mitchell & Selwood... Melbourne have their own hard nut in Jones.
  21. An inexperienced side in GWS came very close to winning today. The last quarter was something both sides were not expecting. Every round MFC are a chance, the problem is that when they are 2-3 goals down they give up, today being an exception.
