    Greg Denham

    I have to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and that think that he is basically another caricature journo whose opinions are driven what will have maximum effect (ie divisive opinions). For a guy whose supposed profession involves the consumption of all things sports, his opinions are often...

    Melbourne Demons v West Coast - Game Day Thread 14/8/2011

    Skill level just so poor, even under modest AFL level pressure. It's incomprehensible that we can be so far of the mark in terms of skill execution. I'm holding out hope that it's at least in part mental, but it's just so average watching us play anyone outside the bottom 5.

    The Cale Morton Thread

    I too have been disappointed with his play, but it doesn't make much sense to me to move him on at this stage. Only way I would give up on a #4 pick at 21 years of age would be if I thought his trade value could plummet in a couple of years. I'm assuming that if Melbourne, a bottom to middle...

    Mega Thread We can't lose Tom

    Thanks for that Crimson. So right off the bat (in approximate terms), the difference is more $230,000 than $400,000? Obviously still a significant amount of money (particularly when you multiply it by 5), and I'm sure any GWS deal would come with a variety of guaranteed outside work. Trying to...

    Mega Thread We can't lose Tom

    I always thought obscene numbers like 1 million per for Scully, 700k for Ward were just leaked by GWS to place inflationary pressures on some of the poorer Victorian clubs. Seems like something Sheedy would love to do. On the other hand, as the franchise calibre guys re-sign elsewhere they will...

    News Barlow - What a Gun

    Can't wait to see him back out there today at the G, thought he was at least as good as any mid for the year until the unfortunate happened. Love his inside/outside work and if I remember correctly, actually went forward and kicked multiple goals in the few weeks leading up to the injury.

    Has Cam Bruce gone mad?

    With your strong list and the relative lack of depth in quality teams this year he was definitely worth a punt. Obviously if there's a younger bloke smashing it in the twos then he's on thin ice, but he might be able to play a role for you guys. I still think he's one of the most poised...

    How many trades do you have left?

    9 left, only $20,100 in the bank which makes the next deal a 2-trader. Really don't want to make a move in the near future and will have to wear some predictably lucklustre scores from Nik Nat, Waters (and possibly Goose) BACKS: Goddard, Hodge, Enright, Malceski, Goodwin, MAGUIRE, WATERS...

    Preview Match Up Round 10: Port Adelaide Vs Richmond - Saturday 29th of May - 2:40pm SA Time

    Probably little consolation at this stage but a room full of Melbourne, Collingwood, Carlton fans here all believe you blokes are getting absolutely HOSED by the officials. It's a tough gig and cuts both ways yadda yadda yadda, but hopefully your boys can come out and give it a massive crack...

    MRP / Trib. Moloney offered 1 week [Mod edit: Cleared at tribunal]

    Re: Moloney offered 1 week I don't know if it was bias distorting my eyes, but I thought he got low and actually made the forceful contact to the body and if anything struck the port player incidentally with his hands. Not surprised though.

    Melbourne vs. Port Adelaide GDT

    Re: Melbourne vs. Port Adelaide GDT. Geez I hope we can give away a few frees in our forward to even up the frees so the discrepancy doesn't hurt us. Chippa clearly grabbed high, non-call, goal. Jordie gets rid of the ball, Port drag it in, goal. Two goals from dud calls in such crucial...

    2010 - Worst trades of the season

    Re: Worst trades of the season Inside top 1000. Trade number 9 Phil Davis --> Leon Davis... Rationale was i can cop some crap 60's for the odd 100+ as the last forward, a little bit of a difference maker... Gets 30 odd and likely to miss a few through form and/or injury... Ordinary...

    Player X or Player Y (Part III)

    Hi guys, any help would be appreciated on this one. OUT: J. Trengove (MID) and J. Ziebell (FWD) for M.Murphy/H.Grundy or L. Hayes/M. Pavlich I love the prospect of Murphy's consistency, but Hayes is as a great price. Lenny racks up the tackles which seems to mitigate against the...
