Really hope we get Toumpas, have heard some fantastic things about him and think his attributes would really compliment our inside brigade of Jones, Sylvia, McKenzie and Viney. But if he goes top 3 then I certainly won't be disappointed with Wines either. Him and Viney, Mighty Ducks style!

Abusing Cale Morton is probably my favourite thing to do at the footy.

Great player for the club, was with us during the good and mostly bad years, he has earned a lot of respect from the supporters. I can understand him leaving for Geelong at this stage of his career, he deserves some success. As for us, we are well covered with tall defenders so it's not a big...

Sorry CFH, I didn't even notice your Dunn post until after I made my own. I agree pretty much with what you've said. I think he has good potential in the back half with some of his attributes.

What are everyone's thoughts on Dunn? I didn't see every game in the second half of the season, but from what I saw Dunn showed some good signs as a defender. He's played forward and midfield to little success, perhaps the backline will be where he can flourish. I think he has the attributes...

Been doing this in my head the last week, so good job on making a thread. I reckon Sylvia needs to play midfield. He's wasted at half forward. Who will be the back-up ruckman for Jamar?

Not expecting a great deal from him, just as long as he works hard, presents well and shares some of the workload with the main man Clark. Not many sides have two gun key forwards anyway. We've now got one gun (Clark) and one decent forward. His confidence clearly took a tumble this year, but...

I was thinking he could rip his jumper straight down the middle every time he kicked a goal.

Not sure that has any relevance to the topic, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post ExTasDeeMan.

You don't win friends with salad, either.

Possibly the best and worst video I've ever seen...if that's possible.

Much like Moloney.

There definately is a different strategy and I am pleased with how Neeld has approached it thus far, but we must remember that this time 4-5 years ago we were all frothing over Bailey and the super young kids we had drafted who were going to turn us into a powerhouse. So I will save my...

I retract my previous post now folloring Jack's comments, which have done anything but scare off Gold Coast. Not ideal for us that he made these comments. I wonder if his father had advised him to not make any big statements to the media before F/S day?

This reminds me of the Luke Ball saga, when just about every club threatened to take him in the draft before Collingwood could get their hands on him at pick 30. End result? Every club honoured Ball's wishes and did not risk drafting a player that would have been unhappy to play for them...

Here's my brief take on all these matters. Picks 3 and 4 - Do not trade unless it's for a legitimate gun, of which neither Dawes or Wellingham are. Given the likelhood of a gun becoming available and choosing Melbourne is incredibly slim, then it's quite obvious that we should use these on the...

Was Bar Vitelli the one that Michael's Sicilian wifes father runs? Tell me more about this tour. I love those films.

Are you planning on going by yourself or with friends/family/partner? Tours? Hostels? Hotels?

He did that last year with Magner, Couch, Sellar and Clark. Four younger and tougher players than Byrnes. 4! In one single off-season. Trade week is still weeks away and you are already criticizing Neeld for not bringing in more of these players. Give it some time Rude. Byrnes may not be your...

I hope Davey retires this year. Thanks for your first 7 years when you could play, but the last couple have been awful.

We don't have a current player on our list that can play as a better small forward than Byrnes (including Davey who can't play any position anymore and is not 100% confirmed for next season anyway). If we can get our hands on an experienced two time premiership player to fill that role for a...

If he doesn't get the Port job, he might end up becoming a senior assistant somewhere. I doubt we would get him as a midfield coach again.

Exactly, disgraceful effort by Gardner. I am very dirty on him for butting in and making these comments. Not only that, but I would love to know which game he accused us of tanking while he was still President? He left midway through 2008 - I can't think of any possible game prior to this where...

Just a timeline for those a bit confused. 2007 - Carlton tanks. 2008 - McLean makes donation to club. Melbourne finish last, no tanking needed as we were so s**t. 2009 - Melbourne tanks. McLean leaves Melbourne because he doesn't like the tanking. Chooses Carlton. 2012 - McLean finally plays a...

And now that smug senile old prick Sheedy will dig the boot in further.

Wish I had your positivity Spirit. This season has been a complete and utter disgrace and I currently have 0.00% excitement about the Melbourne Football Club right now.

Clearly 2000 was the end of your highly successful era, 2 premierships and 7 consecutive preliminary finals. Brilliant effort that was throughout the 90's. Since then, you've done sweet FA to prove that you are a successful club like that deadshit MoS suggests. The game has changed so much...

Ah, I'm sorry, but exactly what success has North Melbourne achieved lately? By all means, our club sure could do with looking at a successful club for inspiration, but I'm not sure how North Melbourne fits the bill. 8th (currently) 9th 9th 13th 8th 3rd 14th 7th 10th 10th 7th 13th One top...

Not worth that much money, really hope we don't offer such a deal to him. I think the forward line can fall into place very easily once you have a quality midfield. We already have a monster in Clark, Watts has the ability to play as a leading centre half forward, Howe plays taller than he is...

I'd estimate $300-$400k but that's just a hunch.
