Rot for sure. He was just a gap-filler while our young midfielders were developing

Hmm, depends. I love his rough style, he'd go nicely with Pickett (still cant believe we got him). I'd like to see him play at least 1/2 the season.

Philthy was unlucky this year, didnt have a start till Round 10? and then had a great game, 20 odd posessions and then did his hammy late in the last again.

Wont be in Danihers best 22 but is a great back-up to have and is a better tagging option than a Godfrey.

Pickett won’t be in your side long, out for the season after round one because he flicked his opponent.

He'll probably get 12 weeks for breathing on his opponent.

You're a closet lover of pickett. Just admit that it hurts to see him go.

Nah - at least not when Melb plays Freo. Dale Kickett and Brad Dodd have both retired...

Who isn't? Of coarse it hurts to see him go, but after last season (2005) it doesn't bother me as much.

From an outsiders perspective I quite enjoy watching Phil Read play. He's the sort of angry ant that every team could do with now and then.
But with Pickett there it could go either way. Sometimes two similar players will work well together in tandem. But sometimes they stifle each other and it just doesn't work. We had that problem with Scott Welsh and Peter Vardy. It was tough to see Vards go, but I do like Melbourne so I could live with that one.

Will get games beacuse he is
a) reckless
b) tough
c) an a*******

Will get games when
a) there is injuries
b) Melbourne goes through it's annual 8 game losing streak

But yes, will spend half the year at Sandy.
