I noticed that a young fella by the name of Luke Carateli won the Captains award, can any of the Scorpians watchers tell me anything about his season, how he earnt the award etc. He used to work for me and is good to see him doing well. Didn't play a game all season, had one of the biggest pre-seas...

I agree, keep BJ down back as the play maker, his ability to break lines with his kicking is invaluable and we look great with the ball in his hands coming out of defense. He can have a liscence to release himself up the ground and can be used to pinch hit up forward but his best position is HBF IMO...

Didnt know Viagra was on the banned list?

Would like to see us go after Cyril Rioli if he is available at 9, we need that really dangerous pace and forward preassure player IMO. Had Sheedy still been at Essendon they would have taken him but he may get through now that Knights is there.

Clayton Hinkley is obviously some kind of an athelete, can he play?

Thanks, if that is the case and attard is inelligible then I think it would be embarassing for us to give out a best 1st year award. We didnt have a good one at senior level.

Unsure how Attard could be inelligable but Jones Eligible, they were both elevated rookies I thought?

Roo or Fish will win it with Dal, Lenny, Gilbert, Fiora, Joey, Harves and even possibly Blake polling well. Most improved probably Gilbert and possibly X clarke to get the best club man?

Cant beleie so many on here rate the man so poorly, Players like Baker are the heart and sole of a footy club, If you cannot understand or appreciate how hard he runs, how many times he puts his body on the line, how often he covers a team mate or how many elite mid fielders and dangerous forwards h...

In an ideal world the first thing they will do is secure at least 2 large and at least medium term sponsors, this will ensure that they get the revenue ball rolling and go a ways to encouraging membership, another big form of revenue. If I was in the seat the first thing I would be doing would be ge...

Why not do it at the dome, it is relevant to the reason everyone knows each other (for those who do) and at least you know everyone knows where it is.

I really can't see why there can't be, within the salary cap, be a salary cap for the upper limit that any individual player can be paid - the max - eg. $500K. Way more than the PM earns and 10x what the average Joe gets. Surely that would be enough and if the player wants more then they can get it...

Good on yo for sticking up for your club mate, but I think you would be hard pressed to find any melbourne media outlet who has said or even implied that Cousins is back on drugs. All of Melbourne media is being very cautious with what they say. Dont get sucked in to thinking that because 3 faceless...

Must say as talk around the lunch room turns to trades the draft and next season it really makes me realise how much I love the draft and Salary cap etc. Whilst we have seen clubs win only 2 or 3 games in a season in recent years right now you could make a real good argument that the team that finis...

I think its reasonable to say we should make finals, and to expect to make finals. What happens in the finals is dependant on form going in, injuries and who you play in the finals and their form etc. Grand final day is a lot to do with how you deal with the nerves, expectations and anticipation of ...

Agree on the mental strength thing. In 04 when we were the kids and had no expectations we were able to throw caution to the wind. From round 10 of that year expectation and then fear of failure has been slowly grinding us down IMO. RL has made us harder and has improved our weaknesses lets hope he ...

I beleive Mark Williams is a good coach, to debate wheher he is better than someone else is futile as they have different lists and so are hard to compare. Having said that I dont think yesterday was his best day, not just because they got flogged either. Williams had very few answers when things we...

pot kettle black mate. you just called evryone on here a turkey (or something) Not sure that much of the discussion was about Gt, thought the post was about whether we can challenge the cats (or anyone can) Personally I think we could, the cats are very good but we can be as good if our game plan, o...

Who are we considering as loose cannons?
More of a loose cannon that S Johnson?
I thought this was one area we had got spot on, all good boys we have recruited in the last 5 years or so I thought?

I understand what you are saying about under rating Silvia, however as we are not talking about any of our players I am not sure who is being over rated? Also you have to keep in mind that if melbourne are in the seat for Judd then they have to satisfy the eagles and to do that they have to satisfy ...

Yeah I'm sure the Dees would do this trade for pick 9.

Its not for pick 9 really, its for Chris Judd

Just want to reiterate the thoughts of most by saying great post. I have voted FF for much the same reasons. Footy to be about Footy not personal issues between guys who only had the club at heart (please)

Are they running a book on the GF sprint. Wouldnt mind getting on Jake King.

Would want more than just Frawley for 9. Frawley and Silvia for 9 I would take. Melbourne need this pick we should play hardball.
