gets the ball lots and reminds me of stephen powell in some ways ie he wasnt quick either.

I'd be happy to give up a 2nd round pick as he probably has 100 games left in him

We got diddled by Freo over Heath Black - would be nice if we got a deal that evened it up.

in recent years we've played players like Gwilt and Rix in key defensive positions due to injuries to Max & Goose.

Yeah I'd take him as there arent too many blokes of his size that can slot straight into a key position running around

Or you have a 3rd choice. Get on with delivering something of substance rather than stroking your ego and let the members decided if and when a challenge is made. Suggesting publicly the club's viability is linked to yourself is indefensible. I really laugh at the claims some people here are "...

St Mart ..great post. One of the few people on this forum who's posts I usually read end to end. Agreed the that Ruck /FF dliemma is the one that RL will be most stressed about - cant play Kosi in both spots. If Gardiner holds up and can still mix it at AFL level that would be a huge bonus. Rix and ...

For f**ks sake, we had the worst injury list in yrs for the first half of the season. We had 23 to 25 players to choose from over a period of 4 games in the first half. GT didn't have that in his sucessful yrs. We had only 4 players that Is that true ??? - because it didnt seem that much different ...

Do we: * give Thommo and Vossy their farewall games * rest those players whose bodies need it (Bally, Max, Harves, X) - assuming Harves goes around again in 2008 of course * give some of the kids who are our future a game of senior footy (Armo, Allen, Watts) * put Barry Brooks in the ruck so we have...

I dont casre for any of the other teams, however, on the basis of the old Arabian saying that "my enemies enemy is my friend" I'd say Port Power.

I'm just a little tired of people talking him up when really, he hasn't done that much and doesn't really offer that much, other than a 'good work ethic' and a 'honest type' contribution right now. Tough Call. Maybe I am taking you out of context a bit, but the kid has a big upside. Reads the play ...

On Kosi ... doubt he'd go. He's a Victorian, and Adelaide's premiership hopes are no better than ours (probably worse). ... You cant be serious .. with a bank balance to die for, amongst the best facilites in the league, unlimited budget for coaching and support staff and a list that arguable is at...

Aussie Bears wrote:No player should ever be put in that "never be dropped category"

if his form is ordinary he should be. what does this say to guys in the magoos who are BOG every week?????

and maybe that means Frase isnt going on next year

Well I thought we were going to win the GF at about round 18 or so in 1997.

Then Smith did his knee, and Lazar his knee , and Spider his shoulder and Young his back ...and certain players had unforseen family tragedies ....

I dont wish that on any club - but it can all unravel very quickly.

IMHO .. Brooks - one thing they never tested for was heart. If they had, we never would have drafted him. Undeniably has talent but will never blossom at AFL level. Probably gets another year under RL because M Clarke wont go on, Rix is the opposite of Brooks (big heart but no talent) and Gardner is...

The story behind Joffa getting dropped after 99 matches was that the person who's record he would have broken four matches later was on the StKFC Board, and didnt want his record overtaken by Joffa. Selfish. Simple as that. He played in the 2's at the G and was back in the team the next week. and J...

this season Brooks has played 60% in the ruck and has been VG....He has incredible talent, but does lack intensity.... . I think thats what frustrates the hell out of us all .. he has got talent , (you dont trade 2 high draft picks on a complete dud).. but he has no intensity. no mongrel and also I...
