    David King

    Bit of a sense of showbiz Kingy. His conviction when making big risky calls is hilarious and surely in the BT anything-for-hype rulebook. It is Darcy that I can't stand. Front running, kick'em while they're down type. Always presses the easiest option, 'Melbourne can't win' or when a player...

    Injury list round 11

    Yep, I looked at the stats for our 2011 Essendon win last year: Gysberts 30 touches, 3 Brownlow votes. He is a tall ball magnet midfielder with class and time. He will be a fixture in our midfield. Can't wait till he gets right.

    Not sure if any of you saw the cruel meme about our Jackie but it read likes this now... :)

    Opinion Changes vs Sydney

    Nice one VTJ, I agree with all of this save Petterd should be sub and not Jurrah. Jurrah next to Clark and let's see if we kick over 70 points for once this year! And drop Fitzpatrick in favor of Stef Martin. Fitzy made a few surprise tackles but looked horrible in contested marking situations.

    Review Dees v the 'Aints - the Good, the Bad & the Fugly

    Ummm.... Hopefully they come from our missing forward line? 1) Liam Jurrah 2) Brad Green 3) Mitch Clark 4) Colin Sylvia

    Preview Official Preview - Melbourne vs. Richmond, Round 22

    Who is our leading goal kicker? Who is our most talented player? Who has lacked good delivery all year? Now that we have seen some decent delivery into our forward line... we just need a forward that can finish off the good work... BRING BACK LIAM JURRAH AND PLAY HIM AT FULL FORWARD!!!!

    Jurrah Not Leaping

    Good point! He does manage to squeeze a bounce in in just about any predicament. He does work his ass off, he looks magnificent (hard gym work/bulked up) and is a gem. Great to see him back in form.

    Toast Jrd. Mac or Jnr. Mc? - Melbourne's greatest ever tackler...

    If I may; Melbourne's all time high tackler is, by streets, Jnr. Mac. In 251 games Jnr. Mac laid 984 tackles. This is 350 more than 2nd placed C. Bruce with 611. And is 493 more than 3rd placed B. Green with 491. Jnr doubled 3rd place. A champ. Jordie Mackenzie in his 25 game...

    Changes vs. Essendon

    Have most people forgotten about Lynden Dunn coming back from suspension? In: Gawn, Scully, Trengove, Dunn, Bartram, T MacDonald. Out: Newton, Maric, Bate, Evans, Nicholson, Bennell.

    Trengove - 2 Week Suspension

    CHALLENGE THIS NONSENSE!!!! IT' A PERFECT TACKLE!!! (Dangermouse should have protected himself)

    Changes for Adelaide (Rnd 7)

    This. We win the ball in the middle and everything changes. Just look at the GC v. Bombers game. 90point down q1. Q2 GC lift in the midfield, Bombers relax a bit, GC win the quarter. The buck stops with the midfield. Our defense is actually quite solid considering they have to withstand...

    The Positive Thread

    Jurrah had 6 Indise 50's, the highest for any Demon. Says a lot! It was so mouthwatering was it at the first bounce: "Jurrah one out with Glass in the F50". Then of course we only 3 I50's for the quarter and most of them were the Eagles transferring play!!!! Was happy with his game and his...

    Garry Lyon

    Garry is media soft now and hasn't been involved for a decade as said above. He should not coach.

    Thanks for the message CA. Been keeping my eyes across the forum and contributing where I can. Started that Paul Roos thread which I felt passionately about. Reluctant to join in the Bailey bashing but won't hold off much longer if we lose to Adelaide and North.

    Paul Roos should shut up about Melbourne...

    Truth in this idea. I remember when Bailey arrived he was talking about Daniel Bell as being one to watch and put Brad Miller in the leadership group. Two strapping lads who would have looked brilliant on the track! Roos just doesn't know at this stage, if he were coach (though I don't want...

    Paul Roos should shut up about Melbourne...

    Completely agree with all of this! Great post.

    Paul Roos should shut up about Melbourne...

    On point 4, the gameplan; We play fun footy now! Roos' Sydney were tight defensive, slow movers of the ball, low scoring. I think our game plan is not much different to other teams structurally but more exciting with our talent up forward. Just watch our stoppages and you will see where the...

    Paul Roos should shut up about Melbourne...

    Not quite. We don't hear most of what Roosy's kid thinks do we? he was using him to make a point that he thought might have some merit. They made him retract it the next week.

    Paul Roos should shut up about Melbourne...

    Melbourne was so lowly during Roosy's tenure as coach that maybe he didn't need to pay that much attention. But please, Bails, or anyone having to defend against this tripe from Roosy, 'On the Couch', is wasting their breath! 1) He reckons Brad Miller is the key to our forward line and that...

    Jordie Gysberts = Gun

    Gys!!! A gun title of thread says it all. As for Blease and Strauss. Let's hope they turn out better than our last consecutive mid-teen picks... 2002 Draft Pick - 14 Daniel Bell (Glenelg) Melbourne Pick - 15 Nicholas Smith (Norwood) Melbourne

    Jack Watts - A different perspective.

    Great post. Completely agree with moloney and jones bombing the ball. Jurrah and watts are silk. We will be so good in a year and a bit. Quality midfield usage will make the most of the superb talent we have drafted up forward.

    Jared Rivers

    To summarize the vibes I'm agreeing with in this thread: - Best reader of play from defense I have ever seen for Melbourne. - Far from the best one on one defender. - Falls over too much. - Better with the others in.

    Stefan Martin has arrived

    Stef, it turns out, excels as an athletic back up ruckman. 2nd rucks aren't expected to do too much really except not get smashed while no1 is resting. Now every stat is a bonus and he can show off his range of skills. Great reinvention by himself and the club in this role. Will grow and grow...

    Your player expectations for the rest of the season

    Gys is gold. This midfield progression is all important for us. Our forward line will only develop if there is quality flow out of stoppages and through the centre. If Jurrah had Buddy's supply... Speaking of which, I cant believe they were ragging on Jurrah last week when the whole team had...

    Predictions against Brisbane and what If?

    We will win easily if we get the ball clear from stoppages. It would be great to see equal inside 50's between the two teams. I think our forward line just needs some quality ball and we'll see Jurrah kick 8. Forget the forward press, it was the stoppages that killed us. No good delivery.
  27. Beard of Nicko

    Backline wasn't the issue.

    Do anyone think that Jamar should punch the ball occasionally? You know, like those 30 meters punches Jeff White used to do occasionally to break things up. He always looks for Beamer and they were cherry picking his little taps.

    Chris Lamb?

    Rivers vs Nicholson

    Whoa! Hold on a minute! I named myself after old Alastair, well his funny beard actually (which I believe sparked a indie hipster revolution here in NYC might I add). This thread should be about the most comical demon facial hair... Nicko's Beard or Dunn's Mo?

    I like Luke 'The Bull' Tapscott! Best animal nickname since 'Rhino' Richards.
