  1. No, he has a contract.
  2. I called it at the time.
  3. Tunnel ball.
  4. His first half was pretty poor but his second half was much better (opposite to McDonald), however he seems to have put weight on during the year which is rare to see.
  5. I'm not a huge fan of coaches bringing in players from their old clubs. I realise they have inside knowledge and so on, but I find it a bit lazy in a way.
  6. He's already my least favourite Melbourne player.
  7. This guy could be a star, not sure how well he would work with Gawn but worth a look.
  8. Cut down in his prime but from all reports eager to get back into the AFL after being poorly developed by Richmond, Relton Roberts is a tackling machine who is unique in that he can kick the ball too. His highlights from only a handful of years ago show how exciting he could be. He along with Lumumba or Salem on the half back would terrorise opposition players for many years to come. I'm not sure of his current contract status, but I would think that $700,000 over three years to start things off could be enough to lure him back to Melbourne. We of course would need to use our first round draft pick on him as it is likely that other clubs are showing a keen interest in this once in a lifetime talent. We already know he looks good in the red and blue so let's make it happen!
  9. Zac Smith looked like being the next best ruckman in the competition for a while there. I wouldn't be upset if he came to us.
  10. Someone please make this stop, I can't handle it!
  11. Did a grown adult actually write that?
  12. I only saw the replay of the game on a dodgey stream, will need to see proper replay of it.
  13. I thought the exact same thing. Probably the best tackle I have ever seen.
  14. From your personal collection? That's horrendous.
  15. I'm not surprised by the result at all, I'd never felt more confident of a Melbourne win as I was against Richmond. If Garlett didn't drop a chest mark against North I think we would ave beaten them too. Both teams are languishing in mediocrity, yes they are playing finals but neither have enough talent to be genuine contenders.
  16. He probably saw this thread too.
  17. All their mediocre players look the same.
  18. I dare say the club will hear about it from the fans we if do trade for him. The "veil of negativity" will be brought out of the wardrobe in a number of Demon households.
  19. By being "good" I mean winning a final.
  20. I'm barracking for North, I couldn't deal with Richmond being good. North will lose the following week anyway so it doesn't really matter.
