I'm glad to see so many other fans still feeling as angry as me about the Scully situation. I think this is the perfect oppourtunity for melbourne fans to show how much this club means to us, Rain hail or shine Scully should be expecting a very frosty reception from the MFC. Banner...

Very happy with Clark for pick 12, I was worried we were going to offer at least 1 of our compo picks as well. Tim Harrington said today that due to front loading contracts we are still only paying 92.5% of the salary cap next year with Clark included in that. Personally I'm most excited by...

Brad Crouch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RYaj1Zjx4U Jaeger O'Meara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E11bE6sPJtc&feature=related Both look very quick and skillful, clean off the ground and great vision / decision making skills. If we could land either of these guys for one compo pick...

Where do you fit the 10 midfielders? 3 starting on ball, 2 wings and 2 on the bench makes 7. Then you would have players rotating from forward and back flanks to have a run on ball. Notice how I didn't mention Blease, Tapscott, Bennell, Pettard, Grimes, Howe, Davey, Jetta, Nicholson and...

I know plenty of people are saying trade both compo picks, but what if we were to trade 1 compo pick and one player. If we were to secure O'Meara through the mini-draft next year and sign Jack Viney as a FS pick IMO we will have too many midfielders. With Trengove, Sylvia, Jones, Gysberts...

It's confirmed that we are very keen to take part in the GWS mini-draft, so what would you be willing to pay for pick 1? and if we can't get that then pick 2? It sounds like GC offered their pick 4 to get access to pick 1 in the mini-draft and have been knocked back at this stage. If O'Meara...

Talk me through your AFL career? Whilst I agree with some former AFL players when they use the old "you just wouldn't know, you never played" line, I can't see how Emma playing would change her opinion of Paul Greaves. If you don't rate any of our signings it is you jack who has no idea Jack.

Thanks den11, left out Mahony in 2012 because I was highlighting the 8 Full-Time coaches, I'm not 100% sure what his new role entails but I'm hoping he doesn't count as 1 of these 8. Looks like Neeld is placing a high importance on coaches who have delt with the development of players through...

Our football department this year lacked structure and was way too small. Our coaching department looked something like this: Senior Coach - Dean Bailey Assistant Coach - Mark Williams Forward Line - Josh mahony Backline - Brain Royal Midfield - Scott West Development Coach - Kelly O’Donnell...

In 2009 Sydney finished 12th with 8 wins and 14 losses, Given the entry of GC in 2011 our finishing position this year will compare very similarly with that result. In 2010 Sydney finished 5th with 13 wins and 9 losses. Personally I believe we could achieve a similar rapid rise up the ladder...

Please read the whole thread before you shoot down any of my ideas or opinions. personally I think for too long our team has lacked characters who are hard nuts, a little bit of c#nt in them and plenty of heart, besides Junior who we retired too early. Our list is full of weak outside players...

Finally some people who actually watched the game and picked up on the real problems. Game plan or no game plan dean bailey can't make our players run and present from the coaches box. It was noticable last week and far too many times this week that not one melbourne player was presenting from...

If true, this is the greatest news i've heard since the debt was demolished. Bruce is the only player on our list who holds value by compensation but not by trade. We are likely to recieve an early 2nd round pick as he is a former BnF winner and has finished top 5 a number of times. Whilst the...

Ask any Geelong supporter who there most important player is and its not ablett, bartel, selwood or mooney its Scarlett. Frawley not only holds down his player but he sets up the rest of the team with his run and carry. Riewoldt may end up being a great forward but he has a long way to go, and...

St Kilda chartered their own plane to WA on the weekend to help with preperation and it paid off. Heading down the highway is the toughest challenge in the competition and if the club believes this will help then I say go nuts.

Couldn't agree more that melbourne needs to trade in the near future to really get a premiership side together, unfortunatley this means we will have to trade some quality players to fill areas of need. If you look at Geelongs drafting & trading to get to where they are today they traded maloney...

Must have watched a different game to me footyfan, I thought Wallis was held but certainly showed a touch of class and great vision through out the day, I thought Libba had a better day. Conway is very lucky, he swang 2 massive right hooks which didn't connect in seperate scuffles. Don't know...

Umpires are going to make mistakes thats just footy, but whoever down at AFL house put them in pink should be on seek looking for a new job. For me the umpires didnt cost us the game it was just inexperience, when bate took at mark about 55 out with under 3 mins left and he centred the ball to a...

If i see one more person say Bruce was our best defender on the weekend I will loose it, he was too slow, could only handball and always put players under pressure, he missed tackles and couldnt apply pressure because he was too slow. I have always being a huge fan but this year the game has...

I Cheered every time for TJ, not because I was always a big fan of his, but because I know this trade deal delivered us Grimes and we were clearly the winners out of that deal. Best fo luck to him at brisbane I say. With our sudden rise to form I am finding plenty of banwagon supporters around...

Whilst we are playing great football at the moment lets not forget what Hawthorn did to us round 1, North are coming off a great win down in tassie against the hawks and should be well respected. We have a shocking record against them and this is the type of game we have to win if we are a...

Seeing as we are using close to 100% of our salary cap this year, there is no chance we could afford scotty any more. i would be more than happy to make room by trading Miller and Newton for Thompson and Tippet though

Not sure why so many people are calling for Scully's head after 3 games, I think we need to give him time, dropping him to Casey will only set him back. Having spoken to a good friend who plays AFL and for the early part of his Career was swapping back and forth between AFL and VFL he said it...

Great write up, nice to hear from a supporters point of view rather than a reporters all the time. Just a few questions does anyone know what score scully and the other top runners got on the beep test? and also whats wrong with tapscott? Personally I don't see this years draftees playing more...

Stolen from another team but seemed like good fun at this time of the year. So what are come clever headlines you would "like" to see in the papers next year??? Melbourne wins with Bl-Ease Carlton's season Gawn, As young Melbourne ruckman dominates Collingwood doesn't know Watts hit them, As...

Having followed the majority of Jaryd’s career and knowing him personally I can answer a few questions and end a few rumors running round here. When referring to Jaryd’s attitude problems, it’s not attitude but more his temper, whilst this caused him trouble in School football you must...

Footyfan give it a rest, your embarrassing yourself and Jaryd now. Congratulations to Jaryd, spoke to him today and he is really excited about starting training tomorrow with Carlton, hopefully he has a long and successful carree there.

Really happy with the selections, I don't know why but Trengove just seems like he was born to wear 9 it really suits him and I'm sure Scully will be happy with 31 as it has so much history and is close to his favored number 32. Would love to tapscott given 5 as well

Incorrect, a player may choose to reject the offer from either CG or GWS and enter in the draft the following year. This just means that the player has to wait another year to get picked, in which time he may get injured or not even picked up in the end so it is a gamble for the player to wait...
