I couldn't stand a merger with the dees.

I'd take a 50/50 coin flip chance of survival rather than merge with them. I don't even have grudging respect for them.

Melbourne and Richmond were the fist two clubs correct?

Because that end is on Punt Road
Kind of how the other end is called the city end, because the city is there

where the sun doesnt shine.

have to admit talk about merging is going overboard and beyond the pale.

For those who think we have problems and are the worst skilled team in the competition then you should take the time to watch a replay of today's game between North and West Coast.  North were terrible and West Coast even worse.  I don't think I have ever seen a game of such poor skills over 4 quarters in my life.

Looks like the AFL will change the rule regarding compo for elite players like Ablett to two first round draft picks.

So the AFL can change policy on the run.

Emma Quale just shows up what a mud racking hack with no idea about football Caro is.

She must really have to watch her back as Caro would feel threatened having a female sports journalist working for the same paper who is not just a token.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Melbourne played the system like maestros and timed their finish to coincide with the new teams coming in to perfection.  They will be strong and weather the draft concession storm at our expense.

Agree totally we didnt play it to our advantage enough and a fair few of the picks we had turned out to be wasted
