Straight Sets Simon

Agreed.

I can't believe people are discussing Levi Casboult.

It means nothing unless the two clubs can agree on a trade and trade period hasn't even started so I'm not sure why everyone seems so hysterical.

This.

Your point was very poorly made.

He's probably just a mate who wanted someone to kick with while down in Melbourne.

The type of player that Toumpas is meant to be (outside runner with good skills) is what they are after.

Correct, that's exactly what he said.

He's probably exceeded expectations and I was always happy with this trade so a very good first year with the club. To play every game in any team is always a wonderful achievement. Obviously his set shots need improving but his first touch too can be a let down at times, the North game in particular where he had a Jack Darling moment still hurts but he usually finds a way to make up for it.

I love hearing about this, these guys have every right to be sitting on a beach somewhere. There's certainly a different attitude with the next generation, the likes of Viney, Hogan, McDonald, Petracca, Kent, Salem, Harmes and Brayshaw seem have more urgency about them. I'm not sure what it is but I've got a confidence in this group that I didn't have with past draftees.

Roos' reaction was perfect.

Unlikely.

Kicking penetration as well.

He looks more like Rio Ferdinand than Rio Ferdinand does.

Good to keep in mind when we delist him next year.

I heard from someone (no idea if reliable or not) that Frawley said he hadn't made his mind up during the year, Roos took that as he was leaving and said to Frawley as much but wanted to keep playing him to keep his value up.

I think if Frawley wanted to stay he'd still be here. But I'm not complaining because I prefer Brayshaw.

I've turned signatures off, but I agree it's a brilliant quote and I can fully appreciate what he is saying. I am grateful for his attitude because it is rare in football today and no doubt Frawley's premiership came on the back of a lot of hard work from other people so it could feel a bit hollow. However, as a player Garland doesn't excite me hence the mixed emotions.

ManDee, you were implying that the only good thing about Harris was her looks and were condescending of her football ability. Now go away.

He looked useless in the Grand Final, no thanks.

Please.

I'm ambivalent about this. Grateful that a good clubman is sticking with Melbourne, but as a player he gave me my share of heart attacks this year.

Tyson is not going anywhere, stop talking about it.

Clubs don't do "juicy".

Nothing wrong with the current system, the introduction of GWS and Gold Coast upset things the most, bottom teams just need to draft better.
