Been a Melbourne supporter for 61 years and as of today I’m still shattered after the loss to Carlton. It took me a long time to get over the loss to Hawthorn in the 1987 preliminary final, but this feels worse.
Not sure why they wouldn’t give Moniz-Wakefield number 39 given Jetta wore that number and his indigenous. I think he will be a very good player in the future for us.
Bought a case of Melbourne Bitter yesterday and have already made a dent into them. I don’t post much, but love reading the banter from you guys. I was 2 when we last won our last grand final and have experienced 57 years of disappointment. I still remember Jimmy Stynes running over the man on...
Did Vanders play in the second game. He was named on the team list, but I seen number 22 running around in the first quarter and it wasn’t him. Some fella named Mitchell White.
Ben Brown has a plethora of guernsey numbers to choose from now. Numbers 17, 19, 21, 28 and of course 50. He may also have 16 as well if Melbourne sort out some arrangement with KK.
I’ve never been one to sack a coach mid contract, but I am now of the belief that Goody has lost the plot. He doesn’t seem to make any moves throughout the game. If MCDonald isn’t getting near the ball why not throw him back. Move Smith forward to at least look like your trying to do something...
Round 2 team based on Vanders and Bennell not being ready to play.
Backs : Jetta. O’Mac. Hibberd
H/Backs : Lever. May. Harmes
Centre : Langdon. Oliver. Tomlinson
H/Fwds: Trac. Weid. Jones
Forwards ...
Personally the win over Footscray at the Western oval in the last round of 1987 to get us in the finals and Robbie Flower’s first final game is the game I would have thought would be in the top 50. Two of the other games hung in the balance and we needed games to go our way in terms of results...
The AFL website shows us with only two picks ( 3 and 8). Are we required to have three draft picks on the night. Sorry, but not sure how all this works. West Coast only have two also.
Tomlinson to wear 20 same as when he played for GWS. Weideman to now wear 6 and give Langdon his old number 26 which he wore at Freo. Then everyone is 😊.
Hasn’t Serong been mentioned at pick 3. I read somewhere we he is a small forward who also can play midfield. So maybe that is what JM was referring to.
My mail is that we’ll make a late play for Josh Jenkins. Given Frost is out the door it will mean TMac will move back to the backline next year. Our forward line could look like : Trac, Jenkins and Melksham playing across half forward with Petty, Weideman and Elliott on the full forward line...
Not happy we lose pick 2 and a chance to draft a potential star in Anderson. No splitting of picks for me, we should use pick 3 on Hayden Young. Has great skills and will be a star across half back in years to come imo. Will be a good replacement for Hibberd. Happy to draft Langdon, but am not...
Nope, more about the coin his on compared to other players. Saints wanted him last year when they recruited Kent. Also, apparently Gold Coast offered big coin last year and are going to do the same this year.
