I think the term is 'snort'

Another point was he was disappointed about the media on Lyons case said he felt for him and made the players want to try harder for him. Nice to hear Best thing I've heard all week. Hope the Boys come out and stick it up the FN lot of em! PLAY FOR THE COACH AND EACH OTHER!!!!!!!! Then all the flog...

you really think our current injury list is as bad as ever, what as bad compared to the last few years.

X might be the only starting 22 left on the list after this week.

calling someone a tossbag is bullying and also is illegal. I know Robbo and he is actually a nice guy. Your on a roll in this thread Cairnsman,i wonder if we could get it renamed.. Cairnsman's Soapbox........ Lighten up laddie,the Hun was short of stories so they printed that crap,the dude who wrot...

Robbo is a tossbag for just reporting what the AFLPA has said and not adding his own viewpoint on such an interesting matter. Anyway, what's happend to Davo27?? calling someone a tossbag is bullying and also is illegal. I know Robbo and he is actually a nice guy. Cairnsman, what are you on? Tossbag...

How can you be sure that it is a nothing player isssue. A few players have come out recently and publicly admitted to suffering from depression. There's no link between fan forums and players suffering from depression. A player's own performance is likely to have much more impact on their welfare t...

You've got to love the AFLPA. Instead of trying to get the players a better share of the hundreds of millions of dollars in the game, Gale and co. are much more interested in nothing player welfatre issues like this one. Luke Ball has a blog, and he's on the AFLPA executive. I doubt Ball, or any ot...

What would posters think about making their identity public? wouldn't bother me, so long as everyone else did it Bigcarl is in, any other takers? I might be wrong but I reckon there would be more posters on SS willing to go public than those that weren't. For what it's worth I think that it will be...

however with newspapers they are bigger (more financial) targets that's the issue, i think. no point in suing saintsational as there's nothing to sue. i think you are correct that this will become more of an issue over the next few years. I hope that SS is one of the more progressive sites and lead...

why? Websites are subjected to the same laws as newspapers. I do agree to extent in what you're saying, but if what is posted is as bad as being painted in that article then clubs could have sites shut down in minutes. Scour the daily posts and there are any number of posts that include name callin...

If that article is accurate - there's a lot of "one coach", "one club official", "a football manager", etc in that article - then IMO it perfectly highlights the problem with the people running football. They treat their customers with disdain, like to blame others for...

The problem with the internet and forums like this is that people write things that they might not otherwise say in person. It gives them a false sense of security because there is not a threat of physical or violent retaliation because they are anonymous. The anonymous part of the internet but more...

The more I think about this the more I think the club management has been very smart. Obviously this could have been planned earlier in the year, maybe even when they re-drafted him. You say to yourself hey! how do you reckon a 3 man forward line will go? It might not work and the main reason you th...

SEN have said that the noises are coming from moorabin that fraser will not retire but be put onto the LTI, allowing the club to elevate a rookie. A decision on his future will be made down the track. Isn't that fiddling a trifle with the rules. He was good enough to play last week, suffered no inj...

Our drafting over the past five years has been horrid.

Two totally different things.

It would have been difficult to draft good players over the last few years with limited top 10 picks

Thanks for the heads up on the other article by Walls. Just read it now. I think Sydney with their recycled players are the stand out and stand alone, personally, as there are many other examples of clubs coming unstuck with the same philosophy in recent years. Nth Melb - Hay, Rawlings, Green Richm...

Giant scanner and a barcode on the jumper instead? If the barcode replaces a number, umpires need only swipe a player to report! It's so easy. Actaully a brilliant idea. But instead of a bar code insert a chip in the jumber that is registered when the player passes the yellow interchange line. Cont...

I actually paid more attention to Mike Sheahan's article today on the downfall of Essendon. Need to learn lessons from other's mistakes. You can always plot the downfall of clubs when they start topping up with recycled players. Look at that Essendon list. Recycled players are short term fixes. In ...

I've wondered recently how much of the external expectation placed on the club and players hinders their performances, in particular how much of it hinders them above the shoulders. I mean the club is improving itself in a couple of areas, in particular with administration and injury management. It'...

Gram said this in the Herald Sun Article today

"Our average core age is probably 23 or 24, and I was in Brisbane when they won their premierships, and the core group was all 26 or 27.

I think he is right.

Next time before you post maybe re read what you have already posted because im pretty sure you posted the same thing you did just now yesterday.

Yeah I know. And I still mean the same thing. The OP is a troll.

Yeah typical Mick stuff.

Those comments he made today about his players have got the potential to backfire on him, again.

He made some pretty big statements before the Hawthorn game and he looked a little silly afterwards.

I hope it doesn't work for him this week.
