And on the Sydney issue, it might have been free to Jack depending on where the ball was and whether Leigh Montagna pushed him aside or grabbed him and threw him aside. Given that we were not paid about three high tackles in a frantic last quarter, and they had a couple missed as well, Paul Roos wo...

Surely Joey would be named and Ross as Coach? You're probably right St Bev, I forgot about poor ole Joey :oops: INterestingly Joey and Dal are in a lot of top 10's in many media awards, yet Lenny seems to be the one everyone expects to get a guernsey. Also interstingly is that Ablett and Judd's for...

Re: Brace yourselves Saints fans....
Hate to be pedantic, but the swans have won two flags - unless we're scrapping their flag from the 1930's because they were known as Sth Melbourne and not Sydney :lol: More pedantry - South Melbourne won three flags - 1908, 1918, 1933. You're quite correct - almost. South won the flag in 1909, NOT ...

I would be staggered if Gilbert doesn't get a spot. I would like to hear of two other HBF who have been better than him this year. He has taken his game to another level since the break, and played great against the cats, which was every players ultimate test. (so far) Curious that the cats had b/w ...

Joey's winning point questioned on F.C.
I will preface this by saying I love Paul Roos, as a former Roy boy barracker from the 80's and early 90's he was my favourite player. I have usually loved him as a coach. Appears to have coaching in perspective, and has a good sense of humour. Plus he's a great coach. However..... maybe I'm being a...

[quote="rodgerfox The Bulldogs and Sydney only have one flag each also. The thought of us getting the 2nd one and leaving them at the tail with Freo horrifies them. [[/quote] Hate to be pedantic, but the swans have won two flags - unless we're scrapping their flag from the 1930's because they w...

I'm hoping a bigger ground will be to our advantage. We are far more organised this year at stoppages, so if we win these and get the ball down quickly to Roo and Kosi in space we should be okay. The hawks are undermanned down there and really only have Gilham (who has missed a lot of footy with inj...

Thought he was easily the swans most dangerous player on Sat Night, and looked the most likely player to win the swans the game. Not interested in stats - if you wouldn't have Goodes in our team, you obviously don't want to win a flag. Bakes is sly too, and I bloody well love him. Little Milney can ...

Sam Fisher - is he out of form?
Reading through the threads about our backmen , and yes, we had a bad night in the back half last night. However I noticed Fish got beat a few times in one on one duels. His set up from the back half isn't giving us as much drive, and he seems hesitant when he has the ball. Most concerning to me is ...

Great to see so many sainters up there. we were obviously outnumbered but in bay 12 and 13 there were still plenty of us around. Hate to ruin the vibe - but I found the swans supporters around me quite accomodating. Rarely commented on saints players (as they probably didn't know any) and barracked ...

I think when you're the favourite in any sporting event and you lose - you're always looking for reasons as to why you lost. If whoever the patriots had played had lost that game, there probably wouldn't have been any soul seraching or inquisition as to why they lost - it would have been accepted th...

barks guess what ross, the coaching team and selection comittee value what you do off the ball as well as with the ball. From reading this thread it appears that Barks' concerns with Eddy isn't what he is doing off the ball - it's what he's doing with the ball. Both equally important I reckon. Eddy...

For those who are worried about not playing at the G
I was curious and checked the 2007 fixture. Geelong played at the G only twice that year. Once at the start of the year, and a second time in the middle of the year. And we all know what they went on and did. Thinking back I recall the scribes using this as a reson why the cats might striggle that y...

I love articles like that. The author obviously knows his stuff, and explains why we are so good. I would hazard to guess that every AFL club is aware of all of this and has been trying to break us down for the past 12 weeks. As saint75 said, it's taken us years to perfect this style of play.

So how do you explain the improvement in players such as Mini, Joey, even Dal?? Did they suddenly wake up one morning and decide to become elite players? Joey was always going to be a player. He just had the body of David Spade. He's grown up, and now has the body to compliment his ability. Dal was...
