Spot on about 2004-2006. Despite worrying indicators in 2007 the team did suffer just as badly with injuries -although mainly in the first half of the season. I for one was prepared to cut some slack. Unfortunately those worrying indicators (lack of enthusiasm, lack of direction on the field) were a...

mugabe is currently saying the same thing - common call by inept leaders that know they're stuffed unless they can count on blind loyalty!

Easy...5/5. Essendon at home with Lloyd, WC weak. Bulldogs at home, Brissy without Bradshaw. Sydney at home, Saints still average. Hawks too good for Adelaide flat-trackers, who have been bad at home this year. Freo at home, North very average right now. I'm 4/5 - feel guilty but it wasn't the sain...

This is not a anti Gt thread just a fact. Ross got us when we was on the decline and now he has to cop our wrath. no it is not a 'fact' - it is the opinion of a advertised Lyon supporter "100 percent behind Ross Lyon 100 percent of the time" 2006 - same wins as 2005 with worst injuries in...

But that alone does not determine who will finish in the 8. Exactly - a major problem with the current number of teams but could be rectfied a little if the a...

Many members here suggest the problem lies with our current list and argue we need to develop our youngsters and even trade away players for draft picks so lyon can develop them as a team able to play to his style. Fine but there is one question i have - wasn't Lyon chosen to tweak a team? There was...

a cold (freezes)?
asthma (chokes)?
dead (rigor mortis)?

and nick...hands up who wants nick to be captain?

p.s. by 'back on track' do you mean back on track to finish 9th again?

We have good form on Sydney even in sydney. Sydney are the type of team who play in tight and play it hard and tough, our guys will have no choice but to do the same this is just the type of game they need. Expect Lenny and Bally to be BOG. We can and we will win. So you are basically saying if (wh...
