Yeah i feel the same way BR. Usually i don't mind as i love cricket too, but there's unfinished business and i feel like we should be doing something.

I hope we have a good trade week. And draft too.

Yeah arent we all.

I cant wait for trade week, etc etc

There is always such optimism around, even clubs like Melbourne who are doing it tough have reasons to be positive.

Im really looking forward to the training reports. They are a great read.

Will Whitten oval be open for public viewing for training and preseason games in 4 months or so?

The pre-season has become the most exciting time of the year football wise for me, so much hope and optimism for the coming unsuccessful season. :o

Would hope so. Surely the place would be nearly 100% complete by the time new year rolls around?

The NBA Season starts soon, so it's all good.

I wonder how many members the club will get next season?

Hopefully considerably more than this season, we suffered membership wise after our disastrous second half fade out in 2007. With a preliminary final appearance this year, those non members might jump back on.

It is looking grim for Melbourne, I remember reading somewhere that Cooney polled the same amount of votes in the Brownlow as the whole Melbourne team did collectively.

Ouch.

Having said that, i wouldn't trade Cooney for the entire Melbourne playing list either...

When do next year's fixtures come out ???

My mates and I are planning a footy 'bender' weekend for early next year ...

We fly over on the Thursday night after work, go to Friday night match, Saturday match, Saturday night match, Sunday match and (hopefully) a Sunday twilight match ... then fly back Monday.

The only luggage we take is our wallets and a packet of panadol

Went to past players end of year function on sunday. David Smorgan was there and told everyone that the infill building should be in use within about four weeks.

He also told us that Faloon (spelling??) was offered 80% pay hike by Port to get him there.

Its amazing what getting a fair amount of stadium revenue can do for a club with a mediocre supporter base:rolleyes:.

Geez, Port had Andrew Russell in the past too, so they obviously know who is good. 80% pay rise is huge...we are going to have to increase the amount we're prepared to spend in this area, urgently.

I heard that Carlton threw some big bucks at the previous fitness advisor (sorry forgot his name). Scotty Clayton also has a big increase to go to GC17

But didn't he then jump ship to Cricket Australia?

I wish I was a 'Visy' Ambassador.
