    Whilst I don't necessarily agree with Freak's analysis, everyone was pretty excited about training and had a lot of "faith" in the football department when Bailey came on board, but we now know how that all turned out.

    Same as Jack Jack, wow. That was incredible.

    That photo of Fitzpatrick is a classic but not surprising.

    What really annoys me about Haddin dropping that catch yesterday is that he was carrying on like an absolute [censored] after he took a couple of regulation catches in the first innings.

    If you look at Davey's body shape now compared to when he started it is completely different. He is much heavier now and doesn't glide over the ground as freely as he used to, I am not sure he is still suited as a small forward, but more than happy to be wrong.

    Nothing wrong with making a video, but at least do it well or with some structure. Watching Cale Morton dance like a [censored] doesn't promote the club, no matter how much "fun" the team had.

    That was horrible.

    Thankfully they left out the line "you should have gone sideways to Bartram to kick along the boundary..."

    I think people forget just how good Daniel Bell could have been. He looked very promising early on, I am not sure if his decline is directly linked with his concussions or not, either way he could have been a very good footballer. EDIT: Probably not a champion, but a lot better than he showed.

    Someone has uploaded the full 2006 Qualifying Final against St Kilda on YouTube, and I know this is often regarded as McLean's best game but what stood out to me was his pace, he wasn't quick but he wasn't slow at all either, interesting to see how much he has changed.

    Does anyone else find T20 really boring?

    Like all things in life a good list will have balance. You can't have all tough inside players, you need some silk on the outside. You can't just have tall forwards, you needs crumbers too. So to say Neeld would only just get the tough players is wrong, I feel he had addressed areas where we needed a better mix.

    How did he go in the Liston?
  14. Straight Sets Simon
    No doubt, but it wouldn't hurt for him to put some size on.
  15. Straight Sets Simon
    You're right, but at the moment he isn't big enough to play on a HFF.
  16. Straight Sets Simon
    That's still a lot bigger than Cale.
  17. Straight Sets Simon
    Cale has always been much smaller than his brothers. He will always be skinny, but he still needs to add quite a bit more muscle than he has now.
  18. Straight Sets Simon
    Yes, but he did have knee problems as a junior.

    I saw this photo a week or so ago, I just assumed he was cashing in his pay for the day.

    We just don't have a culture of it in the AFL. North tried it, but it didn't work. Owners in the US are about making money, not necessarily winning, if Melbourne was privately owned we would probably be the Greater Western Sydney Demons and Phil Scully would be our head of recruiting.

    Am I on Demonland or sitting in the Collingwood cheer squad at Victoria Park in the early 1990's?

    Volvo left last year. RobbieF mentioned something about a Chinese airline.

    I hate saying this and I am often critical of people who say this (therefore I am a hypocrite), but I can't but feel that the fact that Jurrah is Indigenous that the whole Jurrah being "lazy" thing is overplayed due to stereotypes that exist. No one has said this, but I can't help but feel undercurrent is there.

    Can the word "elite" please be banned from these forums?

    There is a difference between tanking and winning not being your top priority. Any time a team "plays the kids", winning is not their top priority.
