D. What a good post kt.

A great article. We've missed a window, no doubt about it. But we did have a good crack and got close with two prelim appearances. Just as the first window closed, another will open. The key factor will be ensuring we have a list capable of going the whole way when it does. I understand why people a...

This says it all about our year, bounce out of the blocks like performing seals, go to sleep in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when the heat is on (7 wins for the year) and come home strongly when its all over. That stat is a clear indication of our lack of mental resolve at crucial times this year. Bris...

Saw the game live and on replay and the Dumpster definately had his best game in a saints jumper.

I’m not suggesting he is or isn’t the best coach going around but what I do know is this: Firstly, our list is massively overrated. People that had us pencilled in for a Grand Final fail to appreciate the major deficiencies we have. I think RL knows this and is rebuilding the list. Even Sam Newm...

I'm happy with all the changes bar one...Fiora shouldn't be played before Fergie. He's been really good in the two's and deserves a chance. He'd be ideal in a forward line that lacks defensive pressure. Other than that, it looks like we're throwing caution to the wind a bit...good move. Maybe we'll ...

He was good and is good generally, but he's mighty slow. He can get away with it against a plodder like ...

You make some good points mighysainters. I only saw the game Saturday but McEvoy and Steven look very promising. If Gardiner or King miss weeks Big Mac should come in. And yes, why Silvagni isn't on a list on astonishing. He looks very capable and composed. Geary should be considered. Twice in the g...

Trade Kosi 'cause he's going through a rough patch? You blokes have lost the plot.

I only went to a few games at linton st and can't remember much but it seemed like every time I went David Grant would take a massive hanger on the outer wing where used to sit. He was as tough as nails too...

Yeah, oops...although he I'd bet B4E would enjoy the chance to give his version of events.

As much as I hate GT....I dont think he would go to this length if he wasn't technically in the right by law. Ive got a feeling that the club is in the wrong this time Just because he thinks he's right, doesn't make him right. All he has is an argument and he's taking a mighty risk if ut turns out ...

There are too many errors in the article to give Paul Gough any credibility. We axed Gehrig? :roll: And I'm kinda get sick of all the talk surrounding 'droughts', 'windows' and 'rebuilding'. Sydney were awful at the start of 05, as were Geelong at the start of 07 just we were at the start of 97. Por...

This will be spoken about during the week - no doubt about it. I coudn't work out whether it was their runner or ours but it almost resulted in a smashed TV at our place. If it was ours he needs a kick in the pants, if it was theirs a clear cut case of shepparding was going on.

What would any thinking player do ? Answer - look for a loose player to chip it to - to soak up time. Even if it mea...

I don't necessarily want to enter the debate but for what it's worth I think Raph's couple of poor errors in decision were vastly outweighed by his tackling and courageous defensive efforts in the second half. A couple of times he pressured Richmond players into making errors. He seems to be one of ...

I think he's one of the best tacklers in the team and he can take a grab. Maybe a stint in the forward line is worth a punt.

I'll get shot down for this but I think Williams is probably the best coach going around. He been able to take a sizable advantage over us with simple mind games. Remember how he claimed the Tassie games gave Port a 'home ground' advantage because they kept licking us down there? I think we started ...

I was happy when I heard it was Joey...I'm absolutely wrapped that it turned out to be Roo. He's toughened up over the past couple of years and got bit spunk about him. I dig that!!! :twisted: As for Caro, Australia'a moral authority, I find it rather surpising that she has a go at Roo for saying it...

You just gotta name the kid after Nick Reiwoldt - 'life ain't easy for a boy named Roo'.

Huge Congratulations by the way...
