Not sure if it has been mentioned but they could potentially play four straight games in Melbourne. Play home final vs north week 1, Sydney beat collingwood so collingwood week 2, play hawks in a prelim week 3.
Very unlikely, but it could happen. I think Geelong will lose away from home though...
I just love how he literally throws himself at the ball.
Also find it wierd that he has a bizarre kicking style, but kicks straight pretty much all the time. Guess it shows there isn't just only a couple ways to kick and the rest are inferior.
GWS x2 = Two wins
Gold Coast = Win
Freo x2 = We are playing at the dome for god knows what reason, so they will probably beat us. I think we can win but they are definitely favourites
Port = Win
Adelaide = We have a very good record against them at the MCG in recent times, but they are a damn...
The only reason I don't have him as no.1 in the comp is because Ablett dominating so much at the GC just makes me think he is on another level to everyone else. Pendles is pretty much the only Collingwood player I think everyone admires.
No Frawley, does he watch football? No-one else from Melbourne should be considered (Except Jamar or if someone thinks a Watts/Trengove/Grimes will have a breakout yet) but Frawley is EASILY in the best 3 key defenders in the league.
Re: Are North Melbourne closer to being a serious contender than Carlton, Essendon, Sydney & Fremant
Carlton are still significantly ahead, I don't see how anyone can argue this.
The rest are debatable though.
I would just like to see some implementation of a business plan to make the club profitable rather than putting the hand out to pay the salary cap FFS.
Why can't all WCE supporters post like this?
And to be fair I don't think NN is overhyped by WCE fans, the media are just idiots who jump on any player who can do something flashy (Not inferring that is all NN does BTW) and go berserk when they do something minor.
Personally I'd like to get rid of Connolly, don't like the whole boys club we have going on down there, but with Lyon 'stepping in to help' he won't get rid of any of his mates :rolleyes: .
I've heard all the stuff about Schwab poking his head where it isn't wanted in the FD, but to be fair...
Been telling myself he's gone all year, can't see someone not taking that money.
Scully is a damn hard worker but I don't think he'd feel much affection towards Melbourne (I don't think he's the type of player that will ever be like that though, and that isn't saying he's a mercenary, just he...
How is he a 'questionable character'?
Sure, the guy isn't the best player (To be fair his injuries have made him a lot worse) but aside from the Kirk thing (Which was nothing) he has never been a 'questionable character'.
IMO it would be in the best interests of both the club and Riewoldt if he was traded.
Regardless of his form this year he's a class player, and St.Kilda could get a lot for him. It is extremely unlikely he'll win a flag with the Saints and the club could get some quality picks for him.
I...
He is considerably better than Naita at this point in time.
At the start of their careers Naita lacked awareness and game sense, whilst Watts lacked confidence.
Confidence is a lot easier to learn than natural skills.
All Melbourne supporters with a clue believe he'll become that, he hasn't even played 50 games and just turned 20. Not everyone is a Riewoldt/Brown.
He is hesitant because he lacks confidence, a lot of players have this issue coming up from the u/18s. Watch his u/18 highlights and he hits...
I think both sides are pretty even IMO, they match up well against us though unfortunately.
Pretty hard to pick a winner, I honestly think we've got a more talented list but North are very underrated and if Hansen keeps improving they will have a gun CHF, which is something we don't and won't...
TBH I think Freo could potentially challenge them, maybe not next year but in 2012, and Hawthorn in all honesty could challenge Collingwood next year with a good run of injuries, but Collingwood are still for me the clear flag favourite next year.
They will be hoping we don't play them in the...
Maxwell summed up the thoughts of probably every supporter and player.
This rule has to be changed AFL. It is RIDICULOUS we replay a game when extra time is used in ALL other finals.
Saints by 5 goals next week. Collingwood are just too good at choking.
