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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

Like.

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.

Did CJ have his lighter handy?

At our stage I think it is a good idea, others may think otherwise.

Well just in case it happens again, this should snuff it out quickly :) http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j335/Dr_Saintsman/515a7b26d596d947a762f79aa5bbf2c3.jpg As a goodwill gesture the Saints should invite Blake Johnston to our B&F, whereby Greg Westaway could deliver his introduction "...

I cannot believe that no one has mentioned those magnificent 4 or 5 games on the trot in 2005 (in the Ruck). In those games he was a good as anybody I'd seen, an incredible display. Alas he cracked his skull the next year. It was his best form of his career with the following statistics: Round 14 :...

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.

Latest odds - St Kilda $1.80, GC $2.00

Can we cope with the overwhelming pressure of being favourites? Just kidding.

Is there one player at that mob who is playing better (or even at the same standard at least) as last year???. Mick is a clone of Sheedy, a few pemierships in a career of about 100 years. Now both are more famous for thier so called thoughts on world peace and the environment etc etc Henderson is o...

Are you Callery counting?

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...

Agree there Tony and lets hope we keep our nerve along the way and draft the youngens like the Dogs have done. Full credit for McArtney for sticking to his principles and for the management to show faith.

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. Lets hope he can part of a convoluted deal that lets us keep our original 2nd position. The guy was a first roun...

Hopefully, Ledger isn't a synonym for someone who stays on the ledge/shelf.

Milera is the interesting one for mine. Beau was always staying, purely as a mature KP player, we need him. Not a superstar but the type we need during a list transition. Milera could be anything. Good pace and great natural skills, has a LOT of scope for further development. The "go home"...

When I see the words James Aish they morph into Ja Messiah. He sounds like he will be a beauty.

I have no problem with Carlton being mediocre, actually think they screwed themselves by putting so much into one player. I accept, we are awful for now, just hope we are exceptional in the off season recruiting wise, that is where I actually like what I am hearing from SW. I get the feeling he is ...

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...
