    Melbourne player in Alice Springs

    You do realise that rather than these being my own comments I was in fact hypothesizing about the meaning of another posters comments? Where did a say anything about motivation or justification? In this case I'm not talking about culture, I was portraying those comments as a statement that...

    Melbourne player in Alice Springs

    Hmm, I took those same comments an entirely different way. I thought by that Rude mean that because Jurrah is coloured that some people in an attempt not to be racist defend him regardless, if this was say Sylvia half the board would be calling for his sacking already, without any facts.

    Brick Mclean - the Networking Thread

    I'm not sure about the whole driver suggestion either, if he drives like he plays footy he'll be slow & have the turning circle of a B double

    NAB Cup R1 Squad - Game discussion: MFC, GC suns & Lions

    Re: NAB Cup R1 Squad Beat me to it, good to Magner, Couch & Tynan in. A little disappointed that there aren't more rookies & draftees fit/stepping up early, especially in the reduced format & against lesser opposition than we'll have in the following weeks. Nicholson, Magner & Couch now have...

    Question about sponsors

    Hungry Jacks could be a genuine option, West Coast have changed to Bankwest as of this season, HJ's have been their sponsor since inception 25 years & could look to another club. Anyone know what happened to the Bank of Melbourne rumours? And on the Chinese theme & many other club's having...

    2012 break out

    Your boy is going to have to watch that sling tackle at AFL level. Just in that video there were 2 that I reckon he would've got reported & probably suspended for plus another 2 that probably would've at least been free kicks against him. Love the commitment & aggression, he absolutely...

    Aussie Rules participation vs the other 5 football codes globally.

    You're obviously grossly under estimating the population of Ireland or are really bad at maths. Ireland has roughly just under 4.5 million people, 50,000 participants means a little over 1 in 90 play. Even if you knock off 50k from the Aussie rules total (for the other country), 600k...

    Co-Captains???

    Not a fan of it, even less if one is Green. Either back him or sack him, no middle ground on this one. I'll go back to the old "you shouldn't need a title to lead". Moloney will be a leader regardless, as should Green with his experience. Rivers is the experienced head in defence. Davey does...

    I wonder if Mark Neeld and co....

    GC are a good stoppage team, evident by them not being on 1 of those lists you posted despite being last on the ladder. Not only does it show that you can create/change this in a short time frame as GC figured this out in their first season, it also shows that a team mostly made of young...

    Injury Gawn knee injury

    Gawn has said the same himself on twitter yesterday afternoon "I find out more tomorrow! At this stage we are only talking 3-4 months"

    List Analysis

    I agree this is a key area, once we improve consistently in the midfield we'll start moving up the ladder. But I think that can mostly be done internally, competition for spots will certainly make blokes work harder. Trenners will only get better being a year old, Bail missed most of last...

    Coaching Structure

    Looks like Lovett was part of Neeld's plans :o Welcome aboard Brett

    Review The Pre-Season Report Thread (Requests, reports and much more!)

    Agreed, maybe with an injury (hopefully short term) he'll play a few more games next year, but it will ultimately be better for us to keep gradually working him into the team, people are forgetting he'll only turn 20 next month. Look at the way North worked Goldstein into their side, had his...

    Pick 36: Rory Taggert

    Re: Pick 36 I wouldn't be using our first live pick on Manson, but happily give him a go if he's still alive with our 2nd or later pick. While our first pick is late & with the much talked about shallow talent pool, we still want to try to gain something out of the draft, I can hardly see...
