I thought Rix did OK. So for all you drop Rix crowd - who do we replace him with? Geriatric Clarke who sadly seems a spent force? Brookes - who is a gamble at best?? Not too many options. At least RL has had all season to stew over this and set his net far and wide come trading/drafting season to s...

turning a focus onto the upcoming match and listening to SEN right now I remember why I hate them so much .They are complete tools and still think they are a top 4 team. Don't forget their actions over the past couple of years, sirengate, whispers in the sky... etc. They are group of downhill skiers...

melbourne will get a pick at the start of the second round if they win less then 5 1/2 wins then needs to do the same next year to get the tradtional pp.

who cares about 1500 people suffering from it EVERY YEAR. God you guys are dicks! No one asked you to watch that, it's not there to make you feel guilty, it was to highlight something important.

I think that it could be more the way were are playing, our form, selection are our future prospects. You can't help but see that we are struggling. Yeah we just might make the 8, but that is not enough anymore.

In 2006 we did not play as well. Our previously starring midfield starting losing both one-on-one and as a unit. The ruck situation was a joke and crucially we lost Lenny Hayes to a serious knee injury early in the season when he was in some of the best form of his career. Luke Ball's OP problems t...

roos are EVERYTHING we are not! They have tackled and worked their arses off all year. This is the type of football we need to be trying to play!

IU tend to agree with Solar. It is foolish to have a defensive game plan with our list. I am all for developing players with a defensive side to their game, in fact joey has really improved in this area this year. But we remind me of the gunners of the 90's, kick a goal then shut up shop for the re...

I addressed this in the "go all out, or shut up shop" thread. Based on current form, in both VFL and AFL, here are some possible changes. Of course you're not going to make 6+ changes, but these are the possibles for in and out this week. * named in best for the Scorpions + if injured In:...

The reason why the swans developed their game plan was that their weakness was overall ability in most positions. Yes they had good skilled players like williams, o'loughan, davis but most of their team consisted of shorter slower less skilled players. So they developed a total play for the team men...

Good post so far, the first thing that springs to mind is that I would love to see a pre-season where the majority of our squad have a full pre-season. Jono Brown was interviewed after their games against the hawks yesterday and he said that the biggest thing that he was looking forward to was compl...

seriously people the undertones in this thread are dangerous to the extreme. Raising money for breast cancer research or the colour of someones skin has NOTHING to do with the standard of the umpiring. Sure make comment on the umpires, heck write in and complaign. I agree with the thoughts on the ba...

see I would if it won us a granny

After watching braun being interviewed on the football show I can't help but wonder if he has this on his mind, seemed VERY upset over it. So the question is, if you were a footballer geting ready to play against the eagles, would you sledge him? Maybe call him epo? cheat

agree totally IMO if we are 6-6 or better by the start of round 13, then go for the first fork, if not we need to develop I would like to see us move gehrig up to half forward/CHF. sweeney to be developed as our third tall and watts given time to make FF his own. This set up is more flexible, with t...

I think coming from interstate, you still do not yet understand the culture of melbourne. The whole tribal thing is a step further then the league clubs up in NSW. The club is you, and you are the club. Most victorians are extremely loyal to their clubs, it is almost love and war over the water cool...

steamrolling along here ..... :D northern territory ....has an organiser ...thanx sarah (saintnt) gippsland ...has an organiser .....thanx ken (yipper) colac has an organiser......thanx rod social club has an organiser .....thanx solar lakes entrance has an organiser ....thanx val albury / wodonga ...

solar....would u take responsibility for it at the social club ? at the appropriate time ? sure... perhaps on the day that we play one of the WA teams because there would be a better chance to have lots of people there oh btw, I do encourage people to go to the social club, drink their beer, eat a ...

taking it to the social club for interstate games would also be a good way to perhaps get those who don't sit on level 3

love the idea, make sure you limit what is written because it's the number of writers that will make it impressive/mean more

fantastic idea

I'll be there this time.....

maguire31 had his b'day on that day, so no suprise he didn't play.
