    I'm loving how uppity Melbourne players are becoming after their 12 year rebuild.

    Clayton Oliver is giving it back to Damien Martyn in twitter wars 'n' shit.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      I think they'll be a deer in the headlights come a cut throat final. I wouldn't mind getting them if we make finals.

        Yeah it's funny. They're a fair bit ahead of us in their rebuild. They've also next in line in the handout after GWS. But they are looking good. Although no one is really playing "finals footy".

          Saints into the 8 at our expense, on %. Must win game again next week for us and Saints travel to Perth to play freo.

            I'm sure sides would've said the same about us.. Lot to like about Melb with Gawn just returning and Hogan to come.

              True. I tend to think their first campaign will be like ours in 2015 against Adelaide, better for the experience but not the win. I'd say they've jumped towards their window quicker than I'd thought. Even Moreso if they have a good trade/free agency period.

                They've been rebuilding for a decade though!!

                  Yeah, how many first rounders have they had over that period.

                    Outrageous and biased. I expected better from you. To be fair it's just a rebuild.










                    Of a rebuild. Of a rebuild. Of a rebuild. Of a rebuild.

                      You can only take about the last three or four years of the 'rebuild' all that seriously, as the club was in disarray prior to that.

                      Their recent recruiting has been particularly good and bringing in Lewis when they have is starting to look like a master stroke.

                        4 wins in a row is awesome at the right time of year Melbourne.

                          Still haven't got any players who want it enough. All the talent, no grunt and will always fail when push comes to shove in a big final.

                          We will make the finals. Not sure Melbourne will though.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
