Re: Grand final thread

Shades of 2010 about this game, if Freo can get two in a row it will be game on. If Hawks kick the first 2 then it will be all over. Shame about the squally wind.

Re: Saints Chasing David Myers

Hirdy must be a bad coach if he couldnt find a midfield position if only 5 are ahead of him afterall most top 8 sides have 10 -12 mids. I would ring Hirdy but ive lost his number. Melksham, Stanton, Commer, Kavenaugh, Hocking, Hardingham and about several who swap between midfield and a back or for...

Re: Giants move ON Sam Fisher

Fisher has been out with injury but how quickly people forget his talent and ability. Yes over 30 - but talk of 'we don't need him' just shows how quickly people forget what's to in front of their eyes daily. He won 2 B&F's when we were very strong, so he has been a gun for us. He was lame for ...

I find the mentioning of "realistic" and "fan forum" in the same sentence quite ironic.

Re: trade rumours

I had a dream that we took Scharenberg, Bontompelli, Harvey, Allir Allir and Langdon in the draft. I need to stop reading about the draft before I go to bed! i like Allir Allir ..... reckon he would become an instant cult favorite I immediately think of the Cat Empire's Hello Hello song which could...

Re: Man United do it....

One other difference is there is no salary cap in EPL, Man United have got a bottomless pit of funds so it is largely irrelevant who they ship off and ship in. Having said that they are very successful as there are a few cashed up clubs in the comp and their system works the best of all. I am glad w...

If he wants to stay then he should. There is absolutely no proof that trading Dal will increase our chance of fast-tracking our next premiership.

Re: Can we beat freo?

Win or lose Freo are unlikely to move from 3rd position. To celebrate the retirement of some club legends we have nothing to lose and should enjoy the challenge.

Also we played pretty well against them in Perth not long ago, so if we bring that sort of game we aren't totally out of the question.

Re: Brown out of contract at years end

Please don't spend anything above pick 30odd on trading for a backman. Develop Luke Thompson, or Delaney. We need elite mids and early picks need to be spent on these guys No we need a ready made Fullback. Every week all the opposition mids have to do is bang it high into their 50 and a big forward...

Is he a free agent? No we would have to trade for him. I would be reluctant to part with our 2nd round pick but he does fill an obvious void on our list, so maybe he is worth more to us.

Re: OK, time for a Pollyanna thread

Good post JB, there is nothing wrong in seeing the positives in our current position. The draft system and salary cap in the AFL should ensure that there will be cycles within clubs and at the moment we are on the slippery slope at the right of the downward curve. For maths boffins that is about 225...
