Re: Saints Fined $2500 for ASADA Error

Some sports people get suspended for this kind of breach so it must be at the low end. If an olympian is in the wrong hotel room it can result in a suspension that is considered avoiding testing. I'd suggest it's something like a player swapping rooms and not putting it down on the official form.

Re: Chapman 'slams' Goddard (B) in upcoming book

I met Goddard twice outside of the football club. He didn't seem like a nice guy, I'm not surprised he comes across as a bit of an arsehole.

I love Kieran Lovell, he will be a gun. Doubt he's still there after about pick 20 though. If he was 5 cm taler he'd be top 10 to 15. I prefer Ryan Clarke and Oliver though with 14.

Re: Pick 14

Yeah agree Con we definetly need someone with a bit of outside pace. Oliver is another inside mid isn't he? We have plenty of them already. I reckon he's inside and outside. He's a bit like a Dangerfield or Sloan who win their own ball but are finishers as well. Oliver is a play maker and will take...

Re: Thank you Gil

For a decent draw. Only 5 interstate games and it appears less Sunday twilight and more Saturday night games. Even the poster formerly known as Plugger would be happy with it I reckon!

Re: Union told Jake Carlisle's manager not to tell Saints

We have a guy in who is an AFL plant. Finnis won't rock the boat and his old mates will get away with their devious crap. The new guy in the AFLPA head role is an embarrassment.

Re: Mitch Brown

You'd think he is a certainty to be in the AFL next year but I doubt we will go for him given we have Fisher, Delaney and Tom Lee as depth down back. Dempster, Roberton, Goddard and Carlisle will be first choice youd think. Fisher will still be first choice. He isn't playing to help at sandy or if ...

Anyone seen much of Sam Crockers taller little brother? He seems to be rated around pick 30 by some but could easily slip to the rookie draft.

Would be very interesting to see what is the strike rate of Freo's draftee's under Mr Lyon in a few years.

Re: Pick 14

From all accounts the club is keen on Mathieson as the stand out although unlikely he makes it to our first pick. The others are Tucker, Gresham & Bonner. Oliver is a fan fav although unclear how the club rates him - draft bolter for sure & may also not be there @ #14. It is interesting bec...

Re: Looking back at 09 and 10 off-seasons

What was interesting was how many bad ones Geelong has had but they are regarded as geniuses in the draft. The difference was in most of those years they got one or two guns while we had some absolute crap years.
