FWIW, the big news of the time was that one evening Jaxons posted that a deal was done for Ben McEvoy to be traded to the Hawks in exchange for Shane Savage and draft picks being exchanged. The day's trading had been over for a couple hours and there was absolutely no news on this at all. He said w...

Husband and wife both spoke to person (partner of her sister) who is mates with Dusty's brother. So : Couple > sisters partner > Dustys brother. This sounds plausible :shock: Just like everyone on Earth is 6 degrees of separation away from Kevin Bacon Any update on how close we are to landing Kevin...

Waldron says we want Dusty. Brad Hardie said a few weeks back, that Lyon's reps rang the Filth. Barrett said Dempster was unhappy at the Saints with not being picked. Are these media types just like the old guy in the pub who looks at everyone through one bleary eye? The evidence for your last stat...

Good thinking. Ideally over a decent body size range, to make sure we don't end up doubling up on tall forwards at the expense of midfielders.

The following season we posted a low scoring win at the SCG, upsetting the Swans in soggy conditions 52-50. Riewoldt put on a clinic. Older forum members will remember this game for the kick from the boundary of the chosen one, #29. And the conversations on this forum his selection/non-selection de...

One of the coaches at his school team apparently.

The AFL, as an organisation, are disgraceful! Seems that way doesnt it. 2 resignations from guys having inappropriate relations. As a woman, why do the women involved here get off scott free. As far as I'm concerned all four of them were wasting their time working on their inappropriate relationshi...

There's sort of a version of it here. http://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/news/video-saints-belt-out-club-song-long-before-victory-st-kilda-carlton-afl/1qj5netyjhubyz3x0grte5o4y The writer wasn't that impressed! "The Saints may have been winning on the field but they were doing their best to emb...

I just assumed this thread would be about how the "deliberate trolling" rule had been renamed the "insufficient intent to post on topic" rule.

How are we going to bounce back from #gota50bytrickingtheFreoguygate?

I'm not talking about the Club, I'm talking about us the supporters. We have a home game this week, we need to get to the game and show our support for the team and our new boy Jake Carlisle. Let's hear a roar everytime Jake touches the footy and send a big f**k you to Caro, Barrett etc etc. This w...

It's a while back but Paul Roos's behaviour at junior football in Sydney was appalling. He came out as holier than thou in his usual sanctimonious way, until additional evidence of his behaviour was documented. It's documented in this link but this quote paints a picture of his behaviour that day. h...

Good to see Jones firing up the team.

Billings to Essendon

Hibberd to Melbourne

Kennedy-Harris to the Saints

I'd prefer to deal with Essendon directly, we have a history of trading pretty effectively with them.

And then there's our 2015 Pick 5... Carlisle (for only ~$500K per year) :D And Gresham!!! (Remembering that we'd have taken Gresham with that Pick 5, and now the doubters are getting to see why. :D ) Best.pick.5.ev-arh!!! 8-) Would we really have taken him with pick 5? I reckon if anyone from the c...

League is a dying sport? I don't think so Tim It's struggling dreadfully at grass roots - got a strong write up in the Daily Tele - can't link it and don't subscribe but this was the teaser. " Thugs driving kids away from NRL RUGBY league junior registration numbers are on the decline. At the ...

Playing a one or two man bench worked wonders on the weekend so maybe we should do that against the Hawks. Failing that, this pattern seems to be worth looking at. Round 1. 90 interchanges, 33 pt loss Round 2 90 interchanges, 57 pt loss Round 3, 78 interchanges, 29 pt win. Now the hawks are better t...

Sad news, R.I.P. to a positive poster who was a real fixture of the forum for so many years.

In addition to all the other upsides mentioned in this thread, interested people may be able to get a really good deal on a player sponsorship for Carlisle next year.

that's quite a decisive point too.

Stupid facts ruining my misinformation

That's the last time I trust a spreasheet I downloaded from a fan site in 2007!

I'd be happy to see Jason Holmes in 31 -- it's traditionally a ruckman's number. Bob Jones and Jeff Sarau..others? Apparently the number on the jumper worn by all these guys the first time turned out in the red, white and black. (or red, yellow and black). Billy J. ANDERSON Brendon BERMINGHAM Harol...

There's a pretty decent list at this page with some classics in there amongst the less savoury things.

If we have a " Say No To Drugs Round" we'll have to give WCE, Gold Coast and Essendon all a bye.

Not sure that will work out.

Keep em up cos it seems they come out in top form soon after!!

Time to unleash the "Sack Richo" threads?

We long time supporters remember supercoach Tim Watson's masterstroke of playing Barry Hall in defence for a little while around 1999/2000. Worked a treat,

Kick started his career if I remember correctly.

Surely Richo can play Paddy down back? May be just the thing to get his career started.
