well it's been attributed to jack. sounds like something he would have said.

"he's strongly tuckled by Tack" - Jack Dyer "he's loping around the boundary like a gigantic tarantuloupe" - Dyer on a particularly spindly ruckman "Bartlett's older than he's ever been before" - Dyer again "Bamblett made a great debut today and an even better one ...

any trade of goose would come back to haunt us. he's likely to recover the sort of form that had us talking him up as an all australian chb and smash us for the next 10 years.

i'm sure carlton would love to have him though. that part of the rumour i reckon is true. the rest is bollocks

all part of his master plan, hey?

I continue to believe strongly that the decision to sack GT last year was misguided and totally wrong. I'm with you on this, too, mb. a very poor decision that has probably cost us a crack at the flag this season. but it's like a relationship bust up and eventually you have to move on whether you l...

we might have been challenging the big boys for attendances if we were bound for september action

[quote="meher baba"]How about these three terrific quotes from that master of deadpan comedy, Andrew Demetriou. "I've got no doubt they'll be trying this week, I've got no doubt they'll be trying the next week." (Re Carlton in 2007) "The question for the AFL this week has be...

thanks, i already put that one in. also ian drake's quote when we'd just recruited loewe as a big lump of a lad: "he's got hands like buckets" hence loewe's nickname, "buckets"

i'd settle for stability and sustained success. that doesn't necessarily mean a premiership. what it means is finals football and hopefully a shot at a premiership. they're not easy to get ... 15 other teams want the same thing. you need luck with injuries as well as skill and talent and persistance...

neither the club, nor kosi, nor the supporters would entertain any swap involving kosi for fev.

one's a great clubman with a huge heart. the other's a prima donna sook

agree. plus fev is a d*ckhead and they'd want dal santo for him. bring them through from the bottom

not a big fan of trading for washed up duds like m clarke The Saints did not trade for M Clarke,,, perhaps i should rephrase that. I'm not a big fan of hiring washed-up duds like m. clarke. I wouldn't be looking at anyone over 24-25. their best football should be in front of them, not behind them.

my major concern in the second half was not the win/loss ratio but the way we played. only once ... the fremantle game ... we played close to the levels we have shown we are capable of in recent seasons. we showed similar spirit in the next game against west coast but in the end they ran us off our ...

i was going to ask does anyone remember windbanks?

looked like tarzan .... always puffing his chest out ... played like jane.

but in those days we had some of the all time champion duds ... some of them so forgettable that i can't remember their names

we desperately need a ruckman to allow kosi to play ff i also agree with st mart that you do not trade your first pick, which should be "spent" on the best available young player in the draft, regardless of type not a big fan of trading for washed up duds like m clarke and i also share the...

i'm still hoping that goose can recapture the form and confidence that had many of us talking him up as possible all australian chb before his broken leg. he busted a gut to get back for round 1 then was crippled by stress factors. imo having him missing for the first half of the season was a key fa...

A.Fiora - May have some value based on 07. Could pull a reasonable trade

raph is 21 ffs. give him a chance.

fiora may have some value to us based on 07

Lol … Plugger you and SR are the ones touting Brooks as a forward only. Brooksy has only kicked 10 goals this year not 20. He only kicked 16 goals last year. It was 2005 when he was played as a permanent KPP forward he kicked 42 goals. Brooksy is regularly in the best now because of his work as a...

top 20. maybe top 10. will be marked down because he didn't play his entire career for us neither did bigcarl or plugger true. perhaps i should have said he started at another club. lockett and ditterich made their names at st kilda. gehrig made his name at west coast. people will mark him down bec...

Some might say roo is also too valuable to be run into the ground each week as has happened this year. If he plays at FF, I reckon there'd be some possibility that he might keep going past the age of 28. i could say the same thing about kosi being used for hack ruck work every week, too, particular...
