Here is what I don't understand, why is it not OK for somebody who has done so much good for the youth of Victoria and the AFL, which is a big part of our state's culture and revenue intake, to have a state funeral, but it's OK for politicians to have state funerals? Show me one politician or...

I'm sorry but that is such a rubbish misconception. We were CRAP, I repeat CRAP in 2007, 2008 and 2009. We lost the likes of Neitz, Yze, Brown, Bizzell etc..., who formed our entire senior and leadership group, in the space of two seasons, and had no backline, no midfield and no forwardline...

I wish every forward in our team would kick 4 goals every time they had just an alright game. Even when Jurrah has an average week, he still nails a small bag of goals. Those tacky "magic happens" stickers were created for him, because magic happens when he is 5-10m away from the footy.

This thread is amazing. First we weren't any good, then we were only good because we tanked. Well to be perfectly honest, I couldn't give a flying duck's nuts, what anyone thinks about my club. If/when we win a flag, I'll be celebrating and won't feel the slightest bit tainted because we...

James Frawley shits all over every other players named in this thread. He has taken on, and beaten anyone from Jonathan Brown to Stephen Milne this season, and is a great rebounding defender too. GUN!

Martin plays a lot more game time as an inside midfielder than both Scully and Trengove. Scully has played mainly on the wing this year, as has Trengove, so of course Martin wins a lot more clearances. Scully also played the best game for a first year player I have ever seen when he claimed 39...

Another player destroyed by the might of James Chip Frawley

If Naitanui got those stats the internet would explode.

Melbourne's defence is second in the league for points against, behind St Kilda only (who lets face it, play mostly rubbish defensive football), yet hardly anyone here has mentioned Frawley and Grimes. Pathetic.

Mark Jamar

This would never happen in a Collingwood/Carlton/Essendon game, would it? I'm sick and tired of being screwed over by the AFL. We asked the AFL to change the umpires' uniforms before the game and they said no. We could foresee the problems but the AFL couldn't care less, because to them we...

It took a goal after the siren (from a mark that probably shouldn't have been awarded as it was after the siren) from one of the biggest hacks of all time, for us to lose to you guys last year. We still played a lot of our best senior players and kids, so we weren't tanking as blatantly and as...

It's about time too... been clogging up our list for 6 games he has! :p

It would be a miracle if Melbourne beat Brisbane. Everything will need to go Melbourne's way and against Brisbane, we're talking Fev and Brown having off nights, our defense absolutely dominating (which is possible), Jamar killing it in the ruck again and our onballers getting first hands on the...

Re: Players below the champion/star level who are remembered mostly for the one moment/game/stat/thi Michael "The Juice" Newton... Mark of the Year, but fail of the century

Thanks for picks 1 & 2. You even fail at failing :thumbsu:

I understand completely your desire to see our club win every single week. That is the basic right of every supporter. However even you admit that getting picks 1 and 2, beats finishing the season with an extra one or two wins. Whether you believe we'll get those picks because we are actively...

Getting pulled off the field? We've had record low rotations for the past 2 weeks :confused: Young players playing in different positions has absolutely nothing to do with winning culture. Teaching a player about accountability by playing him in the backline, or trying to bring a player into...

I look forward to Richmond's 7 year plan... oh wait :thumbsd: We are doing what every other club in our position would do and have done in the past. Picks 1 & 2 are no guarantee of success, nobody is saying that, but they are much more likely to help us succeed than beating a woeful Richmond or...

I couldn't care less what knobs on BigFooty think about me as a supporter, or my club, and I am too VERY happy that my club is finally doing the right thing and the hard thing by ensuring we get the best possible talent to our club. Anyone who thinks that winning culture is based on winning...

Spencer has played 4 games and is over 200cm tall. He already shits all over Juice for potential and will be around in 2 years. Juice won't be. Seriously, it's laughable that some Melbourne supporters can't see that Newton is a horrible horrible footballer, but will pay out on a raw kid...

People here must be on drugs to numb the pain, because Newton is seriously the biggest ******* I have ever seen. Loved his attempt at marking the ball with his head. Officially the biggest douche I have ever seen in a Melbourne jumper.

I don't care whether we win or lose on the weekend, as long as we do not win more than one game for the rest of the year. I would be furious and disappointed if we ****ed up our last chance of getting two of the best players to our club. We haven't been rubbish for 3 years for nothing, I want...

I'm glad that most people here don't think we tanked, it makes it easier for us to keep doing it. If you think Scully won't help us climb up the ladder, it's because you haven't seen enough of him and you don't know our list well enough. We are missing two gun midfielders to complete what has...

You are deluded. No amount of "oh we're developing kids and experimenting with positions" could explain why our backline, the only strength we have, somehow ended up in the forwardline. You also can't explain why when Grimes started to dominate we took him off or put him up forward, or why...

We are one step closer to scoring ourselves not one, but two of the best kids in the country, including a guy being compared to a young Chris Judd, so all of you whingers, and especially bloody Melbourne supporters who are getting on their high horse, go have a cry in the corner with the...

You guys are seriously kidding yourselves. He is a ******* and the only reason he is getting a game is because he helps us lose. One of the worst players I have seen at the MFC, and we've had plenty!

I'm laughing at the easiest $400,000 we're ever going to make.

James McDonald- rookie listed played in 1997, 2 B&F's, AA, Captain Russell Robertson- rookie listed player in 1997, 2 B&F's, AA, top 5 on the all time goal kicking list at the MFC, leading goal kicker on multiple occassions Cameron Bruce- some rubbish pick in the 1999 draft, B&F, VC, is...

Not only is he weak on the field, he is weak off it as well. Should have got the chop when Bailey came in, but was given lots of opportunities under him, with moderate results. Instead of showing us the same loyalty in return, and staying at the club where his dad is a dual B&F winner, he...
