Re: McQualter in Suns Leadership Group
hard to imagine a player being picked purely to play reserves Normally, I would agree with this statement but the Suns and GWS are in a very unusual situation. They have no shortage of very good young talent coming through but really only lack in the leadership area. Some mature bodies and heads is...

Re: Cult Heros
For me the cult heroes were Joffa Cunningham, Greg Burns, Jayson Daniels and Rocket Rod Owen. All were a little different, Joffa and Burnsy were as hard as nails and did on occasion display a bit of white line fever. Daniels "the ginger ninja" was pretty much the worst kick in the league b...

Re: Kosi and family- article
People are saying that he has been disappointing for a number 2 draft pick, but that needs to be taken in context. The top ten draft picks in 2000, excluding Roo and Didak, have all been underachievers and as such Kosi is not so far out of place. He has given us well over 150 games which puts him co...

Before somebody corrects me. There was one row of seats around the fence at Moorabbin, but you needed to be early to secure one. You are 100% correct Sir. A friend and I would always show up for the start of the reserves game and usually bag ourselves a seat on this narrow little run of timber. We ...

It is not enough to look at the individual players to compare the teams. You need to look at each part of the team as a unit and compare those. Even that is difficult because of the changes to the way the game is played. In 97 it was a very traditional backs, mids and forwards structure with each ar...

The problem here is that no other club had access to him. He did not nominate for the draft only the rookie draft meaning that if we had wanted to draft him we couldn't. They broke the rules to hide a player from the draft and have now been caught out doing it and the AFL has simply turned around an...

I moved to Australia late in 1981 from England and at school was immediately thrust into playing footy. In England I had played primarily rugby union and cricket. I was a big lad, over 6 foot at 14 and very broad shouldered, built like the preverbial brick outhouse. That gave me somewhat of an advan...

When he first made it into our senior squad it was because he was a long driving kick and quick across the ground. He was not always an accurate kick but when you had multiple forward targets like Roo, Kosi, Hamill and Gehrig it was less important to be accurate than it was to get the ball in quick....

It is all to do with expectations. Saints supporters are the big dreamers, the great passions in our lives are internal and not from external influences. A Collingwood, Essendon or Carlton supporter does not enjoy winning as such, but insteed receive sense of superiority when their club is doing wel...
