Re: One for Dermie

Dermie likes to think that the Hawthorn culture was so strong back when he played and this is the reason they were so strong. In part this is true. The biggest reason they were so successful in his era was because of the recruiting zoning laws. Ian Stewart when he was at the Saints as an administrat...

I know a family member of Dean Polo. Dean's comment to my friend was that he thought he worked hard at the Tigers, but training at the Saints is at a totally different level. Could be the reason why he has improved so much.

I think moving Raph to the forward line would be a good move.

I also thought that moving Gehrig to the forward line was one of the most stupid idea's that I ever heard.

Don't think Ross will be listening to my opinion.

Sorry, my mistake. Habbit from going to Catholic school's. I just find it funny that club legends like Nathan Burke call us Saint Kilda and not St Kilda(Sint Kilda)
