Good luck to Couchy and co who got picked up yesterday. Time will tell with the rookies as most of them fall by the way side but Couchy seems like a determined young man so hopefully he can make it. The hard work is still yet to come for our rookies…. My only issue with picking Couchy is why...

Re: draft movements this tues Good player, lacks a yard but his anticipation and ability to read the play is first class. Can be used as a running half back flanker or wingman.

Fletcher Roberts would be a great pick up. I think he just lacks the height to be played as a ruckman but saying that his tap work is very good. I've seen him a few times play full forward and i was pretty impressed. He has a strong mark and he's very agile for his size. Worthy rookie pick for sure.

Waldhuter was a huge shock to me but im tipping port will take him as a rookie. There's probably question marks over his pace. I seriously think we should consider Jackson Coleman, big lad with a massive tank, can play at both ends of the ground. I seen him a few times at TAC cup level and i...

Best small forward imo.

Patrick Weardon, can play make no mistake about that. He has a big engine, great height for a mid / forward and has good evasive skills.

Seen him play a few times. Not on my rador to get picked up. Would need a stint in the VFL imo.

I'm completely dismayed also with the following names not getting picked up. - Bussey - Jackson Coleman - Boseley - Waldhuter - O'Hanlan - Frost Not sure what went wrong but gee i was tipping all of them to go in the top 50 with Frost, Boseley and Bussey to go first round.

I'm with most ppl on this thread. Scully is gone and good riddance to be honest. Anyone who rejects a 6 million dollar offer would have to be a complete dill. He made the right move from a professional point of view. In years to come we will see how good Tom really is. Tom has the attributes to...

This talk about keeping Spencer is laughable. The bloke is a dead set spud of the highest order. He cannot kick a sherrin for the life of him. Bate won't be going anywhere he will be part of our midfield next year. Maric has been a massive scapegoat for the last couple of years. He has more...

The only thing I question about this whole thing is why did we sign players like Morton before we got a senior coach?? If this guy is defensively minded the first thing he will do is look at out list and draw a line through our front runners... I reckon half our problem is the list management...

It looks like Neeld is the man. I'm personally shitting myself. I thought we were going for a tried senior coach???

Good call!

If footsteps Morton can get some aggression and intensity in his game he will be a beauty but until then he continues to be a wrong draft choice in my mind. Please prove me wrong footsteps.....

Forget Warnock when's Scully packing his bags???? Is he taking the piss? i read this morning that he has 3 days at the club for medical check ups! fair dinkum mate go to ur local GP....

Brad Green - Keep - We cant afford to lose another senior player, surely we have learnt our lesson. Brad is a damn good player however i dont think he should be captain. Play him on his merits next year. If he warrants a game on form play him if he doesnt then he plays in the magoos. Colin...

Re: OFFICIAL VENT THREAD: the Bad, the Crap & the Fugly - MFC only Tankman it is ridiculous isnt it? fair dinkum it may be something small but gee whiz this sort of stuff typify's the MFC. We're already known around the football fraturnity for being a soft bunch, and to see a man in a red...

How would you be if you were the marketing manager of this club?? It's probably the toughest gig in football. The poor bloke deserves some recognition. Promoting this team and creating membership drive would be an impossible task but this little fella in the back office has dug deep for this...

Re: OFFICIAL VENT THREAD: the Bad, the Crap & the Fugly - MFC only Melbourne demons... Rebuilding since 1964. I just don't know what to say gents. The culture at this football club needs to change, starting from the bloke who blows that trumpet in front of the mcc before each game.

Any smart administration right now would be talking to both malthouse and roosy's management about a possible coaching role next year. Saying that melbourne's track record regarding anything to do with football since 1964 has been poor...

Dees please do me a favour and win us a flag, this game is ruined...

Good fair post crusty, love the passion. Are we able to recruit schwartz and Neitz back? can Alan Jackovich be found? and fit to play? what about Todd Viney? can he pull on the boots for us? i also wouldnt mind Grinter back also... We had some tough players back in the day where are they now?

Insane, i also think darling is a power forward, but i think we need to move on and deal with what we have, not what we could've had. Darling is a beauty, unfortunately Melbourne and others didn't think so. That's just how the cookie crumbles i'm afraid. Cheers Mr C

What was ur thread?

You guys are very lucky to get him, wish we had him. He also didnt have a great year on the field as well so that may have been another reason, however the year before that he was touted as a top 5 pick as he had a cracking year.

Mortonman I do agree with you that they have been our better players but let's be honest would they get a game for collingwood or geelong? i doubt it.... I dont want them to be our better players, it actually worries me that they are, because they're really not that good. Bate needs to kick...

Darling slipped through to 26 because of his off field issues. He was highly rated but clubs didn't want to risk it. Looks like a risk worth taking but we were not the only ones that dismissed him.

There are many questions that need to be asked: 1. Do we have the talent? 2. Do we have a game plan, and if so, what is it? 3. Is it time for Bailey to stop mentoring from the sidelines and start being a Coach? 4. Where is the spirit and intensity? 5. Where is the leadership? 6. Has our...

I agree with most he should play this weekend but if he struggles again drop him. He seems to be lacking aggression and work-rate which is a key ingredient in being a key position forward. Also if we drop him who do we replace him with? whats happening with newton? he's been on this list for...

I agree with you eskimo, it was bloody frustrating to watch. Yeah we were good in the first half but lets not forget hawthorn still had alot more scoring shots we just made the most of our opportunities. I think we lack a key forward who can crash into a pack and bring the ball to ground. I...
