They did not boo - they were calling out "No".

Very sobering post. We must improve to at least place 9th next year. Will we? I hope so. Can we? I think so. Carlisle and Goddard were a huge setback this year as we were clearly undersized. Get them back and we will be much harder to score against. The forward line will continue to improve. This ju...

Here's the real question, what should we do with pick 10?

Draft or trade?

Ok so I am about to be a hypocrite here. Every year for the last five years we have discussed the idea of trading Armo to the GC. So predictable that is basically a running joke on here. I myself have mocked the idea. BUT The GC have just lost Prestia and JOM. Swallow, Ablett and Rischitelli are in...

Has not had a great 2nd year.

I'm worried for him as his tackles are just not sticking at all and his goal kicking has been very poor.

Jury is out

[quote="Johnny Member"]I've been harping in about our lack of real talent for a while now. The best teams, have genuine guns. Funnily enough, the more guns - the better the team. Funny that. Plenty of teams have 'peaked' in terms of the development of their list - but just haven't had the ...

Disgraceful and disrespectful thread.

Take it down please.

I'm for it. One of the reasons Essendon won the '93 flag, after missing the finals with 12 wins in '92, was by bringing back Tim Watson, then aged 32. It wasn't that he provided much in the way of goals or possessions, but his presence created a great vibe and he helped straighten out the Baby Bomb...

jack edged out armo last year after armo's start was exceptional.
Same thing this year, Jacky Boys start exceptional but I fear Seb might pip him at the post

Good point - I don't think he actually has to do either.
I think they love his size and strength just send to get rid of his puppy fat which shouldn't take too long at all.

He is too slow and unfit though... He needs to change his body I don't agree re his speed but yes he does need to muscle up a bit. His speed over 15 metres is fine. Club is aware of his need to muscle up and have had him on a strict weights program and diet - check out his upper body today and you'...

Has to get better awareness.

This seems to sum you up.
Have a good look at how Paddy has incurred his concussions - nothing to do with a lack of awareness!
If you were at the game today you'd also see he played with full awareness and courage.

That's right folks. I have a VERY good inside source. Let's just say at the very top of the Saints. He has given me the inside word that the Saints are balls deep in to good players in the AFL if they are available. I have this on good authority from a genuine high ranking Saint. So you have 2 acco...

Made of Plasticine, hope he can build a career, absolutely no evidence of that at this point in time. The Saints need to recruit a Key Back AND a Key Forward. Surely you jest! Paddy has shown enough to signal he's going to be a champion. We absolutely don't need another key forward - Paddy/Brucey/M...

Ross
Armo
Dempster

Nope - need a big-bodied A grade mid before anything else

I'm struggling to understand everyone commenting that Roo should remain as captain?

HE"S NOT FOLKS, TIME TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE.

Still not many nominations for our next captain which is either saying we have a number in the mix or no-one.

when did Roo say that. terrible move by the club if so - get the record and then ass it over or have co-captains. no one really ready to replace him anyway. give jack s a bit more time then him to warm the seat for dustan well down the track. Announced a couple of days ago and Richo confirmed today...

I was always of the mind that ROo should have abdicated at least last year - but when I heard he was so close to the record I want him to break it Lets face it his accolades will always be "self" related when it was certain he would never be part of a GF winning team Would "co-captai...

Big challenge for the CLUB and the playing group as no-one is standing out - according to this thread anyway

The captain should come from a player who is first picked in the team each week. I think it should come from a player who is picked in the first team every week. It doesn't have to be your best player, just someone who can and will hold his spot every week. It really comes down to leadership, someo...
