Indeed, Burkey is on to something. If that forms the basis of the Club's growth strategy going forward, I'm happy.

In return for the three we have picked up Hickey, Delaney, Dunstan, Acres and Savage. I rest my case. An idiotic statement by KB, considering the Richmond list is as good as it is going to get and probably further away from a Premiership window than we are.

So he would not have traded Goddard, McEvoy & Dal, meaning we would not have recruited Hickey, Wright, Dunstan, Acres and Delaney. Thank god we sacked him.

Effort and a zealous work rate for 4 quarters by all.

I will never forget those 4 or 5 games in 2005, absolutely sensational, in fact they were Lockettesque for sheer dominance. At the time he should have got the Captaincy. What happened after that, who knows, was it the skull injury? I personally think he was played out of position under Lyon, as I be...

Always an act of insanity to invest such a high pick in a ruckman, Insane to use a high pick on a ruckman? kruezer goes ok when not injured Nic Nat Luenberger Macintosh Hale all top 10 picks and that was just quick look Natinui is a once in a generation freak and is more than just a ruckman. He cou...

He is Ablettesque

Sorry, but typical. He got smashed at centre bounces which is somewhat typical. Well done to Chris Pelchen for his shrewdness and guts. History we'll see us as having reamed Hawthorn on this deal. We took Ben Evoy with 7 in the 2007 draft. Always an act of insanity to invest such a high pick in a ru...

Far from impossible, but do we want to from a development point of view? However, at the risk of been called mad or a hopeless optimist, I am starting to think that if all things fall in place our veterans just may get another sneaky crack. Yes, I am saying that despite most of us having accepted th...

Good I'm delighted, hope we can dispense with this stupid initiative and remaining legacy of the previous Board's desperate stupidity. Regional Victoria would be a better option.

Well I declare unashamedly that I have a boner. Not as dreamlike as going back to Moorabbin, but I'll take the Junction. A suburban ground! I love it. Here's an early request, leave standing room for a couple of thousand on the wing and call it the new Animal Cage.

IMO Frawley has already made up his mind which club he is going to. His manager is effectively telling other clubs thanks but no thanks. He'll probably sign for around 200k under that to his preferred club....Hawthorn or Freo my bet at around 4 x 550-600k. Unrestricted free agent so Melbourne canno...

Hickey did well tonight and shows justification in the early pick. Lee is the dud pick, been told for those around back then that he is a worse player than Jodi Arnol who was also an early pick. Apparently Lee was woeful for Sandy today. What on earth did they see in this guy to trade such an early...

Typical nasty comments? He moved around the ground well, linked well.... He was out pointed in marking contests twice against Mids? Which was disappointing 0 contested Marks He was beaten 40-24 in hit outs and his opponent was one of Melbournes best But he played a very good game.... Love him to im...
