Well said solar. There's more to be positive about as well. As you intimated - the players will have that extra motivation... knowing each game is harvs' last; knowing they can play much better; knowing that that wet stuff makes the ball, the players and the ground slippery; knowing in the rematch i...

plugger66 Name the 3 or 4 older sides that wouldn't exist. Obviously you have a line to head office. Dont think it is that hard. Who is getting assistance? The smaller clubs need assistance because of the new comp plugger. The major expenses involved in travel, the higher salaries due to greater de...

Maybe Lyon's an Ali fan and this is the first four rounds of the old rope-a-dope. Not sure why he let us pull a few goals back at the end? We played our worst game since collingwood. The players looked confused by that strange wet stuff that fell out of the sky. The umps must have watched some old 2...

Didn't mind milne's hit and twas no more than a lot you see left alone. But given some of the decisions was resigned to a free being given. Ottens (no not ottens - i've forgotten who - put up the elbow coming out of a tackle) hit late in the game was far worse and no free paid - THAT should be up at...

how many of them will be cats supporters?

CJ - when he lays a tackle on jnr and the collarbone snaps!
In the reprisals Mooney swings at BJ, misses and breaks his hand on the face of the fast approaching Ling. Ling wakes up in a month and cheers on his old mate King in the GF decider against the Pies!

The more boastful bile the cats fans (and coach now) lay upon the team, the heavier the consequence of losing for the players. Keep laying it on catters - pride comes before the fall!

ps Is there an 'premier avatar 2008' award - evertonfc''s a shoe-in!

stand up and fight
the saints are carmen

4/4 = 100%

No chance of Maxy being AA and Hayes (though great all year and a genuine gun) unlikely to be selected. Roo as Captain is what I believe should be the case for actual AA selection and Fisher is the best quarterback style HBF in the game since Jimmy Clement. Also honerable mention should go to Godda...

Like you I am not optimistic at all. We are full of hope, But it is hope. If we play at 100% as everybody believes we must, this will not be enough. While people are quoting Green Bay Packers, that is the exception that everyone talks about because it is so rare. For us to win an extraordinary even...

Look at the stats -Fisher clearly superior -we all know stats don't tell the full story but these are pretty conclusive: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,24292173-19742,00.html BACKS Dale Morris, Western Bulldogs 22 games. 137 kicks, 102 marks, 143 handballs, averaging 6.2 ki...

there's no way scarlett could run off a fit and firing gehrig...
if gehrig accidently breaks his leg!

im having $50 on that and $20 on roo to place in the brownlow

my oh my
i had them at 20 to 1 just to make the final 3 weeks ago - and got laughed at by the 'keep it real' brigade!

Another number

look at finals games played amongst top 4:
Saints 153
Geelong 150
Bulldogs 93
Hawks 80

1+5+3+1+5+0+9+3+8+0 = ?

yep... 35!

What is crucial, is that we work to give players like Goddard and Dal Santo the space they need in the middle. Not trying to be smart here but what I don't get is how we are going to close them down with tackling and in close work and yet open it up when we need it to be open. Interested in tactici...

well u should see the adelaide footy liftout in todays advertiser... the footy liftout is called FullTime and it sits in the middle of the paper. i grabbed a copy when i finally managed to get hold of the herald sun. the front page of the liftout has a photo of the essendon players with the 4 retir...

insurance?
under-rated even by our own.

Birss sould NOT be dropped this week. no chance surely - i'd have him in front of a few - charlie's not impressed me, and there's no way scarlet would be wasted on him. perhaps raph goes forward, birss replaces demster down back - that's if bally and x both come in. if charlie stays then cj's possi...

Good stuff 'the harvey codex'

correct me if i'm wrong but we passed the crows % with a point kicked in the 21st minute (flag got waved in first few seconds of 22nd minute)

has anyone mentioned...

Geelong won the last one....now it's our turn!!!!

well let's hope that after next week that little curiosity ends!

...and the last four reasons?

bloody saints - i thought i'd see harvey play 4 more times - now only 3 games left - at least they'll all be wins!

we've only won 13 games so far - lets not jump up and down crowing until we get 16 wins!
