Having just read the Caroline Wilson article I now feel that i have a more likely explanation for the decision last night. The performance of Archi last night was to treat members as nothing more than wood ducks and feed out more sh*t than a nursery stocks. Things like youth policy etc is rubbish wh...

this clearly shows a level of distrust to the board. They need to be more transparent to the members asthey do not have the runs on the board for member's to accept this decision ( which may be correct and is the same as 14 other clubs) with the half baked explanation provided. We are not powerless ...

We will never know the full story however i would hope as members we receive information which is more than the press release which has been issued. Financially I am sure there has been much spent in "due diligence" to come to this decision . As a paid up member we deserve at least a reaso...

Haven't seen it but if as described very unprofessional .
Don't put a player up if they have not been properly informed before the interview as to what to say.

Next applicant please

Harvey and Gehrig were both veterans so only half their player payments counted against the salary cap. Also note that the cap has been increased by $262,500 for next year. Which pansies earnt a pay rise. :roll: :roll: :roll: As Riewoldt pointed out they were only 3 wins ahead of 11th place. Gehrig...

Steven Sziller - good solid defender, went forward against Syd once and kicked 6 ( i think) in a mud heap.

Gordon Fode- 16 year old star built like a 25 year old, good solid player for a niumber of years but suffered the man child syndrome when everyone else caught up

With the way the system works i would think STK will get Cousins in pre season draft, unless he is able to convince Bris and anyone else not to pick him. Pre Season allows player to nominate salary etc after national draft and therefore Stk could manipulate things so they were the only clunb in a po...

Probably inocent however track record will always create inuendo regardin such actions. Head shave not the smartest thing to do from a pr perspective

Far from over I say. IF Cousins decided he wanted to go to Stkilda, he would let them know this and STK would allow sufficient room in the salary cap to select Cousins in the pre season draft. ANy other club would not then get the information as to Salary required to get Cousins ( until after Nation...

Best: After 1997 Grand Final that Hudghton would become one of the best backmen in the AFL.

Worst: After watching reserves and first couple of games that Jamie Shanahan was hopeless and why do they play him.

My issue is the financial impact of the draw. The actual playing perspective it is not too bad, 4 of the top eight teams, 15 at the dome 1 trip to Perth. The worry is with 10 Sunday games sponsors will get less kick for their buck, hence will not pay as much. This will potentially have an effect on ...

Cousins ( if fit and ok) will help our midfield in a huge way but that alone will not be enough. We need : * Armitage to become a solid midfielder * Dal Santo to work out how to beat a tag * Ball to stay fit * Hayes to play angry but not get reported * Montagna to be more consistant * Gram to play i...

If this is the case I would much rather play ugly and win a grand final than play pretty and finish bottom 3. If this is true then the AFL is weaker than I thought. The TV deal is already paid so really they should not bend to the TV stations demands entirely. You can't tell me Adeladie play pretty ...

Once again the clubs , and we are nto alone are the afl's b*tches . Talk it up as much as they like this draw potentially will cost the club hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Once again the AFL has bent us over. You would think helping them out by playing in Carrara they would throw some favours. 10 sunday games for a team that finished 4th. Traditionally temas that finish in the cellar get these games. 1 friday night game in Melb 2 trips to AAMI in first 5 weeks both of...

Lets see if any delisted players get picked up by any other clubs, then you have an agrument they may have been hardly done by. As supporters we tend to overrate some players and bag the cr*p out of others.

Wouldn't you just pick the best available player at 13? We are not in a position to say we will forgo a better midfielder for example to get a big who would otherwise go 19 . Plenty of areas to fill and if nothing else will provide future trade possibilities in that position if we become overloaded ...

Birss maybe a bit stiff although potentially we need armitage. Howard etc to step up L fisher , insurance policy , strong body etc Fiora under contract ad one of the few who can run the lines we have Rest seem pretty straight forward Looks like Cousins , if available, will be coming, dropping 6 give...

IT would be great if it was like Richmond. After 10 years everyone gets invited to a free cocktail party at Crown where they mix with the players- my wife has been 3 times and raves about it. After 25 years they get guaranteed finals tickets. On the card is great but really something like this will ...

if you are going to change the rushed behindmake it they cannot kick in until the flags are waved - the old rule. Don't chnage the scoring or penalise a possession as too subjective, at least this way if it is wrong then the only penalty is time and you still have the ball

I find it strange the amount of expectation placed on 1st year players by supporters in regard to what they will contribute in year 1. No other football code in the world has as many 18 year olds come in to the system and expect contributions straight away. Rugby League - Generally debut older than ...

Would Sydney look at 2nd rounder plus Jarred Allen for ROK? I cannot see where Allen fits with us if Kosi is FF / Ruck and McEvoy long term appears to be able to do a similar role.

Geelong just did a north. Game was theirs to grabinthe second 1/4 , let the hawks hang around and ended up getting smashed.

Was Mooney's game almost a mirror of on B Hall a couple years ago.
You can be tough physically but mental giants defintely not

This time of the year seems to have the gossip flying re trades. Names pop up, especially if your last game was poor and others from other clubs suddenly become great or clibs become dumb. My thoughts: Kosi- unlikely to be traded. You do not get rid of 25 year old 6 foot 6 players who can take a con...

Whiel changes are required it must be remembered that depth is also required. It is no use delisting say a fiora and replacing him with a pick 70 odd who will spend 2 years in res and may never play an AFL game. While for some time is up there is no benefit to go to over the top as we will be even s...
