You do realise that rather than these being my own comments I was in fact hypothesizing about the meaning of another posters comments? Where did a say anything about motivation or justification? In this case I'm not talking about culture, I was portraying those comments as a statement that...

Hmm, I took those same comments an entirely different way. I thought by that Rude mean that because Jurrah is coloured that some people in an attempt not to be racist defend him regardless, if this was say Sylvia half the board would be calling for his sacking already, without any facts.

I'm not sure about the whole driver suggestion either, if he drives like he plays footy he'll be slow & have the turning circle of a B double

Re: NAB Cup R1 Squad Beat me to it, good to Magner, Couch & Tynan in. A little disappointed that there aren't more rookies & draftees fit/stepping up early, especially in the reduced format & against lesser opposition than we'll have in the following weeks. Nicholson, Magner & Couch now have...

Hungry Jacks could be a genuine option, West Coast have changed to Bankwest as of this season, HJ's have been their sponsor since inception 25 years & could look to another club. Anyone know what happened to the Bank of Melbourne rumours? And on the Chinese theme & many other club's having...

Your boy is going to have to watch that sling tackle at AFL level. Just in that video there were 2 that I reckon he would've got reported & probably suspended for plus another 2 that probably would've at least been free kicks against him. Love the commitment & aggression, he absolutely...

You're obviously grossly under estimating the population of Ireland or are really bad at maths. Ireland has roughly just under 4.5 million people, 50,000 participants means a little over 1 in 90 play. Even if you knock off 50k from the Aussie rules total (for the other country), 600k...

Not a fan of it, even less if one is Green. Either back him or sack him, no middle ground on this one. I'll go back to the old "you shouldn't need a title to lead". Moloney will be a leader regardless, as should Green with his experience. Rivers is the experienced head in defence. Davey does...

GC are a good stoppage team, evident by them not being on 1 of those lists you posted despite being last on the ladder. Not only does it show that you can create/change this in a short time frame as GC figured this out in their first season, it also shows that a team mostly made of young...

Gawn has said the same himself on twitter yesterday afternoon "I find out more tomorrow! At this stage we are only talking 3-4 months"

I agree this is a key area, once we improve consistently in the midfield we'll start moving up the ladder. But I think that can mostly be done internally, competition for spots will certainly make blokes work harder. Trenners will only get better being a year old, Bail missed most of last...

Looks like Lovett was part of Neeld's plans :o Welcome aboard Brett

Agreed, maybe with an injury (hopefully short term) he'll play a few more games next year, but it will ultimately be better for us to keep gradually working him into the team, people are forgetting he'll only turn 20 next month. Look at the way North worked Goldstein into their side, had his...

"I don't remember eating GAWN"

Re: Pick 36 I wouldn't be using our first live pick on Manson, but happily give him a go if he's still alive with our 2nd or later pick. While our first pick is late & with the much talked about shallow talent pool, we still want to try to gain something out of the draft, I can hardly see...

Less discussion about irrelevant things & more GAWN! Calling Donald Mc......... Here's a few more: Children of the GAWN The GAWN Identity, GAWN Supremacy, GAWN Ultimatum GAWN the Sheep New Fav - Natural GAWN Killers

^Agreed, but there is no where near enough mention of GAWN in the above post 2dogs I'll 2nd or 3rd the thread title change, maybe a vote? Also most of you may not be familiar with the great man's acting career with highlights such as: GAWN of the dead From dusk till GAWN GAWN with the wind...

Not to put expectation too high & I don't rate us as a side who deserved to make finals, but the difference you've said above of an extra win or 2 & no beltings, almost has us in the finals. Lets say an extra 2 wins & take out big losses, that's up to 42pts & a clear 9th based on this years...

Well I don't know about you, but doesn't the below statement kind of allude to that fact we'd like to still have him around the club if he can & wants to commit, "help with the next stage of his career"?

Both Blease & Jones know where the goals are, but neither are exactly what we are looking for as forwards & either of them spending any time forward would be at the expense of the already large group of medium forwards we've got competing for not enough positions, we shouldn't be trying to rob...

HEY! How dare you talk about Philthy like that!

Seems logical. But, Jurrah is stuck in Alice because of Qantas, Aussie could be in the same boat & coming back to train with the group to try get a rookie spot

Any signs of JUICE??

You can see Morton in this photo, and yeah, look a bit like his chest isn't 2 inches thick More images being posted on MelbourneFC twitter

Agreed, different situation & a totally different argument, we in fact tried to use this to keep Scully. Nice work by HUN to screw GWS a bit. :thumbsu: So if you add this to Scully's contract how much does that make it in total? Without doubt the highest paid player in the league Didn't...

Latest HS leaked report, we play Freo in Perth in the last round. Supposedly they've grouped teams together who haven't played finals for a few years (also leaked North v GWS, Rich v Port). Not ideal, but I guess that's a break of not making finals for 5 years & really, if we make finals I'd...

I think they have eradicated the NAB challenge games & now you play firstly a round robin & then 2 more full games the following weeks, the 2 highest ranked teams after 3 weeks play off in the final. It's a slightly improved system

Also good for A) chance for an away/interstate win & B) a low drawing interstate team we don't have to play at home

How do you figure that? All they say about us is that both of our games against GWS are in the 2nd half of the season. We usually play the Darwin game mid-late season, fair guess you're right but just roughly a 1 in 6 chance, or did I miss something?

Funny I think are Travis Cloke's angel wings, can't find a photo
