It's been reported on SEN this morning that Melbourne don't have a boot studder. They have a couple of volunteers on game day to help shine them up. That's pretty ordinary for a professional club.

Need to get back to basics the Dees.

Jake Carlisle has re-signed with Essendon. His agent should be shot. Why anyone would re-sign with that club right now is beyond me.

The Ashes squad is pretty good. I'd have preferred to sneak Stephen Smith in their somewhere, but otherwise I think it will be competitive.

Oh, and Brad Haddin > Wade.
I generally agree with your footy opinions but it clearly ends there.

Haddin? Brad Haddin? Brad ******* Haddin? We talking about the same bloke?

Haddin is a marginally better gloveman and Wade is a better batsman (although Haddin was one of best performed batsmen in the last Shield season). Haddin also brings leadership which Wade doesn't. Right now Haddin is a better fit for the team.

Haddin and Wade aren't good keepers. I hope either Wade improves dramatically or another keeper puts his hand up from the state competition.

Haddin brings nothing to the side other than aggro and his from nsw .
How dare we pick players on form! Are you equally opposed to the selection of Chris Rogers?

Edit: I read "from" as "form". Are you saying the reason he was picked is because he is from NSW?

Inconsistent and craps himself under pressure.
Criticisms which could equally be made of Wade (in fact most of our players).

I know stats won't matter to the Haddenists (see what I did there?) but he actually did alright on our last tour of England and was one of two along with Hussey not to disgrace himself last time we hosted the Ashes.
