Mike Sheanan's Article

I thought it was a pretty good read and has us portrayed pretty accurately. Best 22 was in place and he spoke about how we have the senior players and a bunch of younger fellas to put us into serious contention.

There was one line I loved which just reminded me how good our list is but really hasn't delivered yet.

He said "If Bruce, Johnstone, White, Green and Yze are fighting for the Best and Fairest, Melbourne wins the premiship".

Not sure how to take that last comment. That obviously means that McLean didn't live up to the hype if those guys overtook him. Neitz also had an average year? Surely a lot depends on him kicking a minimum of 60 goals.

Yeah it wasn't bad, he did paint a bright picture for us. Makes sense given he actually is a Melbourne supporter.

Didn't agree with a couple of selections, such as Robbo at CHF with Miller not in the team, and Bizzell ahead of CJ as en emergency. Other than that, good effort.

I think what he was trying to get at was that since we sort of lack the superstar type player that can carry the rest of the team (e.g. judd), we need to have a 100% effort from all of our other gun players. Any less than 100% effort from those guys and we can't compete with the best.

Miller will be the key this year, or Dunn if Miller gets dropped.

We can't rely on Neitz or the smalls, we need a reliable 2nd big man up there.

Excellent point BC.
Neita will always perform, and we're almost guaranteed 70+ goals from Davey, Robertson and Yze, it is a question of who plays at CHF.
The man I believe that can be the star we need is TJ, the man has the potential, but he needs to be a consistent 4 quarter player.

If was ok , what i already knew, his team was interesting. No Yze, Miller in the side. Neitz, White and Junior are getting on ..
