I had Raphclarkeclanger last year but with him no longer on the list I'm going to have to find a new whipping boy

I think GT has been vindicated if you look at the 2012 team stats re: - tap/hitout stats vs clearances. The team stats showed WCE had 15 extra hitouts on average (compared to the overall AFL team average) - thanks to their 2 "master" tap ruckmen - but that clear hitout advantage didn't tra...

Sorry plugger66, was Darren, I knew it started with 'D'. Wore number 21 from memory. Also from around the same era was Tim Allen who went onto Hawthorn I believe. Handy player for a short period.

David Bourke from the mid 90's was a left footer.

My only main criticism of the GT coached teams was our inability to turn games of footy when it wasn't going our way. We were very much front runners, that isnt necessarily a bad thing. If a team were to get out to a lead of +20 points against us it was all over. I very much enjoyed the 2002-2006 ye...

In 2009 we had an attacking game plan. We were about +20 inside fifty at half time. It wasn't Lyon's fault that players missed easy shots or goal umpires stuffed up. In 2010 we were boring but with a lot of injuries and turmoil off field did super well just to make it to the GF. The biggest problem ...

But as many have mentioned earlier his tap work particularly in the middle needs a lot of improvement. Only have to look at how many opposition ruckman polled votes against us in particular the ma...

Round 1 team B: Dempster - Blake (200th) - Geary HB: Goddard - Fisher - Gilbert C: Montagna - Hayes - Steven HF: Siposs - Riewoldt - Schneider F: Stanley - Koschitzke - Milne OB: McEvoy - Dal Santo - Jones IC: Armo - Cripps - Ledger - Ray EM: Polo - Peake - Saad That's how I'd go, only question mark...

Thanks Sainter K, I've followed the saints since 1988, been very lucky to see many good times from the plugger days at Moorabbin, to Harves running amok at Waverley and now docklands. Sitting in the stands when BJ took "That mark' was the first time where I actually believed this might be the d...

West Coast Geelong Hawthorn Collingwood Fremantle Adelaide Carlton Richmond Sydney Essendon St.Kilda North Melbourne Brisbane Port Adelaide Melbourne Western Bulldogs Gold Coast GWS Geelong still have a pretty good team despite their retirements, plus 7 or so games at home is a massive advantage.
