I'm a confirmed WCE hater and Cousins is top of my list of those I hate at WCE. But, it's now clear that he has an addiction and I have sympathy for him. I know a bit about addictions and it's very easy to judge addicts at face value. Yep they're unreliable, inclined to steal, lie and cheat, but whe...

It's just my view that with these changing times that we won't see a player of his ilk ever again. First of all, you won't see anyone of his size ever play AFL again, regardless of how talented he is with the footy in his hands. A player of his size and ability will have to make do with kicking 180...

I can understand the comparison with Jonathon Brown Yipper. Both with tremendous physicality and athleticism. Brown is more like Carey I reckon, (Carey was also a freak and I reckon the best contested mark I've seen) and even Hall plays in a similar way in that they're happy to move up as far as the...

The game today is unrecognisable in so many ways to how it was when Plugger was around. I'd even go as far to say that he'd be a liability on any team. :o gimme a break. he'd be no more a liability than gehrig was in 2004 when he won the coleman. a champ is a champ in any era imo. You judge the gre...

The way you guys are reminiscing about the era of Plugger makes me feel sad that the game has become sanitised and doubt that we will we ever see another Lockett or Ablett. Just looking at that footage of Moorabbin makes me wish that the soul hadn't gone out of the game. Sure we have our star player...

Great story Stinger. I missed seeing live most of Plugger's career because I lived OS and down south WA for most of it. When I came back to live in Melb. he'd gone to Sydney. I remember listening on the radio to a Saints / Swans game in 1991 and Plugger had 8 or 9 by half-time. He was so exciting be...

I loved watching us flog the WCE by 108 points at the Dome in 2004. Guerra kicked 7 and Fraser got 9 or 10 I think.
1997 prelim. final was awesome.

ummm because...he's the best footballer going round oh yeh...i got for "carlscum" http://forum.streetcommodores.com.au/images/smilies/extras/smileban.gif :o why...for going for carlton?? this is like segregation all over again! yes we have underage posters on this forum and we try to keep...

Plugger was/is 190cm or 6'3" he was about 6'3" across the shoulders, too. made him nigh on impossible to get around in marking contest. most of the time anything he got his hands to would stick. and you could just about write it down as a goal most of the time. an awesome freak. You're ri...

It is amazing that for such an unsuccessful club that we have had so many high quality players... Robert Harvey - Best Ever Midfielder Ian Stewert - 3 time brownlow medalist Tony Lockett - Best FF Ever And they are just a few... Plugger was for mine the most exciting player I've seen. More so than ...

thanks Stinger

For a bit of off season entertainment, check out this video of St.K v Syd 1994. The picture quality's not very good, but you've got to love Plugger's aggro.
Also, can someone tell me who the long tall beanpole wearing #30 for the Saints is?

Agree, the most courageous mark I've ever seen. Going at absolute full pace and eyes only for the footy. Amazing.

I am appalled and absolutely disgusted by those even consdiering this as a good idea! WTF is wrong with you people? Have you no damn pride? Can you seriously tell me winning a flag up there would have anywhere near the same feeling as winning it in our current situation? Your willing to strap the S...

F*** its the end of the week and i'm definatley not going to get that gold star and smiley face now. Typos and spelling can get you banned around here i had better watch myself. Not lecturing stinger just a piont of view that differs to the others and from the reponces including yours i'm not to/to...

Wouldn't be the Saints any more in my mind. Would just be another AFL franchise bereft of history. Does anyone really consider the Brisbane Lions to have a strong connection to the Fitzroy Football Club? Sydney to be South Melbourne any more? If you move the club to the GC and take away the name St....

No doubt at all st byron you can sleep well tonight on knowing for sure he has a drug problem. The lack of clarity is there the word proof comes to mind NEVER been done for drug taking makes that very clear for me. You cant say he has a drug problem just because you think he has one he may well be ...

OK so your happy to pick anyone up with strikes next to there name because you dont know the FACTS. Yet you wont take Cousins even though you dont know the FACTS. I'll take my chances whats that saying the devil you know? There is a chance you are right and he is a drug user but there is also a cha...

Very likely I'd say.

Shafted by the media for one the cops for another and three the club he played for and before you carry on about the blood test why did they not confirm with his legal people first before they gave him the arse. Get all the impressions you want what will happen in the PSD because thats just another...
