Re: Surely Caro gotta be joking ..?

I'm not a Caro hater at all. I actually think she does a very good job overall - sure she's stuffed a few things up over the years, but who hasn't? But I agree with the comments that this article is rambling and lacks a point. The whole tone of the article is critical of Roo, but then she says he sh...

Re: Luke Beveridge

Doesn't anybody have a comment about the Hun's article today that suggests that Beveridge is a shoe-in for tbe Doggies job???? Any inside info to put my mind at rest? I was getting very bullish about the contribution that LB could make generally but also as a confidant/sounding-board/etc for Richo....

Re: Chris Pelchen - The aftermath

I also heard the interview today and I couldn't disagree with him anymore when he said we were in a similar position to the Hawks in 2004. Maybe we will be at the end of next year or even the year after but we are no where near the rebuilding stage of the Hawks in 2004. Not even close. Completely u...

Richo knows the Petracca family personally and has done so for years.
Disgraceful! That's almost as bad as when GT forced us to draft Ball ahead of Judd because he used to be having it off with Ball's mother!!!

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21

Is the jury in or out? Not sure how we can be pro or anti Pelican yet. Too early in his plans. But we will know one way or the other in 3 years time. Yes, agree it's still too early to know if he's doing any good or not. But what I do know is that I like that he has a plan. It might not work, but a...

Re: Ross Lyon after today

what I was actually alluding to was the rate of decline in terms of W/L rather than the decline down the ladder per se. Do you realise how insane you are sounding? The following year we finished 16th... So from 6th place we went to 9th then 16th Nothing about that can be considered "arresting ...

Re: luke ball retiring

I think there was an ego struggle between RL and LB. Sadly that was put before the best interests of the club (egos over team is probably a saints trait over the years....) My position is if RL wanted him gone well thats his prerogative as sr coach - but it is disgraceful we got nothing in return. ...

Is this the team coached by the guy who ripped into us when we sacked Capuano mid-season and said that this sort of thing could lead to a player "dropping off a bridge or swinging from a bridge"?

Re: Jack and Billy (Hartung, that is)

Weird article. Fact is, the better you are as a junior footballer, the higher the likelihood you'll be drafted by a lower club - Riewoldt, Ball, Judd, Goddard, Cooney, Delidio, Franklin, Roughead, the Carlton guys etc. That's the whole point of the system, so Billings is exactly where his junior car...
