Any Esplanade really...all that's missing is the empty bottle of booze. Not really an image we want to convey to the kids...

I thought it had a certain Esplanade at 3am touch to it.

I'd like to see us recruit more X factor players.

BTW here is a great wikipedia page that lists players by their ethnicity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VFL/AFL_players_by_ethnicity[/quote] Interesting, but gawd there's some drivel there...Nick Riewoldt speaks with a German accent and eats sour kraut for lunch, does he? Just because you've g...

BJ started at CHF last week and looked lost.

When he moved back to the backline he looked good and even kicked a goal.

Leave him in the backline.

Agree...great out of defense, ain't broke, don't fix

One his knees, by the sound of it

Ha...but Plugger got a towelling just about every time he played on little Ben Hart! Funny how it works. Good reponse re Lockett and the team back then...but for mine, top 10, not number one. Maybe I was tainted by the fact that he was a shocking club man and made us look bad so many times...plus an...

We didn't have to recruit him, we were given him. King/Gardiner deal remember? Geelong has about 13 Charlie Gardiners, so he had to get the flick from their list. Anyway, he's not too bad I reckon...8 games in and he's booted a few goals, made a few plays, certainly not the worst going 'round. There...

Milney??? If he kick's 11 again this weekend, I give you that one.

That's my thoughts...Lockett was totally dependant on those delivering it to him...when did he ever lay a tackle or a block? Granted, that's not what he was paid for, and he more than made up for it in the kicking department. However, if Hudson hadn't taken him under his wing, would he have been as ...

Hmmm...Stewart yes, Baldock yes, but I was never sad to see Plugger leave. Great player, yeah, massive liability, indeed.

Free Agency should kill of performance based contracts nicely, don't you think?

Crikey...that's a tough call! Geez, I thought anyone who wants to wear as much emotional punishment as a Saints supporter would have nerves of steel!?! Mate, you should come and live over here in Adelaide...Crows supporters will pack up their Chardonnay, pile into the Range Rovers and flood out of A...

So...you reckon they might just field a team of Raph Clark's this weekend?

Erm...top 5...Hayes, Montagna, Ball, Fisher, Riewoldt

Lenny all the way for me...nice to see he's up there in the votes. Dal's a surprise for me. Stiff call on Harvs from Dermie, considering he was still playing for Collingwood when he was 45.

Well, in my short period on this forum, I haven't noticed too much players probably wouldn't have heard or read before. I've no doubt some of it can be touchy, but these guy are professionals, aren't they. Best way to respond to critisism is show the critics they're wrong.

The Genuine degruch

OK...suspense...who are the other two?

Yeah, but then Raph stuffs it as soon as he's got his hands on the ball...I wanna love him to death, but he's the most frustratingly useless player 80% of the time. Fiora is better, but he's also a letdown...haven't run into a Tigers supporter yet who's in tears over his departure

Erm...G-Train

Well, sacking's been mentioned quite a few times in this thread...and another. No, we had a horror run with injuries at the start of last year...so he never started with a clean slate. After the injuries began to subside, problems with GT and the board started. Get to the start of this season and ou...

I agree...it's a mixed bag from Ross, but who in their right mind would want to sack him before his contract ends? Nuts! He's barely had time to sit down, what with player injuries, sacked boards, moving to Frankston and a team that's seemingly gone lame...he's gotta be the most frazzled coach in th...

Ha! They were actually quite polite after the NAB Cup...hehe...gotta love the silence.

Yeah...I know...I'm guilty. But I live in Adelaide...isn't that punishment enough?

Are we? I thought interstate members for four fifths...that's why (gulp) I'm not a member.
