Does Jacko make the cut? Very borderline for me not sure.

Another really good one IMO Bradley Gotch from fitzroy.

I would probably go close to saying Stephen Newport had a decent run with us and currently Farren Ray.

Ok how about a look at players from other clubs (call them rejects, trade bait or whatever clubs regarded them not important enough to keep) that were given the boot and ended up very servicable for us. My favourite one I remember and I think some arses must have got kicked for at Carlton was Peter ...

Also Jayson Daniels didn't do too bad for Sydney before returning back to us

Joel Smith was outstanding at Hawthorn in 2001-2003 across HB Top 3 in the B&F and perhaps AA Played around 150 at the Hawks Fair call... I guess the memories dulling a little around that era. IIRC Hawthorn were quite average around that time? I guess you can add that to the list of players we ...

Daryl Wakelin. Surely there must be plenty more.

It seems more may have done it as rejects that got lucky other than higher performing players that were able to control and choose having more opportunity.

When we gave Jamie Cripps the flick I thought WC were insane taking him. I thought the little mummies boy was going to barely get a game and just play in the twos till he was delisted. To his credit not only has he turned things around and become part of their main list, he may also achieve what mos...

Actually, I'm going to revive my 'favourite mediocre' team from some time ago. (Sorry I can't get this to format properly) [img]TEAM OF THE CENTURY (MY VERY WORST OF THE ‘80s & ‘90s) [NB this was written whichever year it was that Pecko had the terrible fumbles -- mid '90s?] Backs ANDREW JOBLIN...

Tony Antrobus & Doug Cox

Mark Scott was unstoppable like Tony Lockett in the Reserves but every time he was elevated to the firsts could barely kick a goal. Max Crow the Essendon reject 65 metres out with a big torpedo never missed but 30 metres out dead in front would go anywhere but between the goal posts. Terry Smith alw...

I don't mind being positive but trying to give credit to a team so low and embarrasing that 100+ point losses are becoming normal I'm sorry talking about positives frustrates me more than watching us play. The only positive I can see out of this is cementing our position for the best draft picks but...

I agree even though his kicking can let him down he is very good overhead and always tries hard. I have always liked him and yes unfairly cops flack.

I've never seen a side with so many left footers.

Gwilt
Ross
Billings
Webster
Bruce
Schneider
Hickey
Jones

And I may have even missed someone not to mention Armo who is also to come back.

GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the hell would we sack him at this point anyway? I think a lot of people have held on to their rosé coloured glasses too long. And the argument about the powerhouses of the AFL, can someone remind me where Coll, Ess, Blues, Rich, WCE all finished between 2005-2010? At one stage during this time...

I don't think we can take any notice at all of what happens at VFL as the gulf between it and AFL is way to massive !! It's a massive problem. But how do other teams develop their players so much better than ours? Or are we just not recruiting wisely enough?? (I'm talking the last 3 drafts - it's a...

Yeah definitly picked up the three votes for that performance too.

Yes I get trying to make a crystal ball judgement on kids. You need to develope from youth but it still a big lotto draw. But why do we seem to only pick up rejects that other clubs delist because they have proven they are not up to the level and do nothing. What about all these gun players that eit...

He was in fantastic form with Motley Crue last Month.

I s it only me that has seen a complacent lack of desperate addressing here over the last few years or is there something I have missed and we have some real guns in the making to take us back to the top in the not too distant future? . Yes it is only you. Seriously If you have read on this forum a...

So every time we went to market in the past few years you've been happy each time with what we picked up and are totally shocked and never saw this coming?
