should just rename saintsational to bigmart vs plugger vs any other walk up contender

Bergholt are you that gullible? Serious? Lee wasn't traded for pick 12 to begin with.... And he's the key fwd?! I don't understand what you're saying. Are you saying he wasn't or he was? "St Kilda offered up its first-round draft pick, No.12, to the Giants in return for Lee and picks 24 and 43...

some people. bloody hell.

the kid is in his third season. he's going to take time. not everyone comes in and dominates

i was very impressed. he certainly is much better than hickey was this time last year, look what an extra year did for hickey!!! i think we'll see similar with longer

Re resting Eli. Two things. Firstly... why? :shock: Secondly, remember that Eli only has another six-ish games left as the long term injury upgrade for Lew P, then it's back to the rookie list anyway, So I wouldn't wanna' see him rested just for the sake of rotating bloke thruogh to have a look at ...

Ratten must be one of the better coaches in the comp getting these hacks up to 5th in 2011. No surprise he had success as an assistant at the Hawks. But the carlton way is they cant help thinking they can buy success so the temptation to go for Malthouse was too much for them. Paid miles over the o...

Swing the axe Think Eli needs a rest... For Milera Like to see Ross get a game... For Savage Billings in for someone, anyone? Wright out .... Bruce a game... Gwilt off the monsters. Lee obviously for Maister why do you think eli needs a rest? he had 90% TOG and had more zip in him than 90% of our t...

was interesting discussion until the usual "con flog","plugger" and "bigmart" s*** fight

Cripps has now had 4 coaches in 4 years and it seems all want to play him but hey they are all wrong and you are right. 2 soft goals. Someone has to kick them and a lot of small forward goals can be soft. Im guessing their coach was wrapped with him kicking 2 soft goals considering how close the ga...

i know thats the line thats being thrown about..but it wasnt the main factor. was our run and spread. we died just before the end of the third. pretty much all the players were receiving treatment lying down in the 3qtr time break

was shaking my head when watching the game on foxtel, still shaking it. some of our supporters seriously...its just so sad and disappointing if you want to turn on our own and bronx cheer please do us all a favor and go follow the pies or the tiges where its accepted behaviour. we dont want ya!!!! w...

Not sure The same could be said for AL.... With a lot more intell and we used a FRDP What if he didn't fall to bits... What if he did a 'Darling' For them.... Worth the risk... They didn't take him at 40 he was gone at their next pick? It was a calculated risk, they would have went in with eyes ope...

Not poor at all... By any club IMO He was a risk... Like any pick 40... The lower you go, the less likely you are to cut it... I reckon 40 was a touch high, but as pointed out Hawthorn are in a good position A pick 40 not making it... Butt kicked? No I'll be honest Brodie Murdoch, where was he pick...

tried to say as much. except some over the east seem to think they know more about the talent over here in the west....again I admit I was one who thought he was worth a punt with a later pick. Is it possible he can go home and after a couple of years in the WAFL try again with the Dockers or WCE, ...

What happened to all those posters banging on about garlett? Thought it was all a beat up

No comparison. I also think everyone deserves a shot at redemption - especially at 20yo.

agree

although right now we cant afford any incidents from any of our players

the eagles have the best recruitment network in perth bar NONE. they know the local talent and its issues in side and out. the fact they wouldnt touch him with a 10 foot pole, speaks volumes. next best freo arent keen either. i agree with them It looks like someone made a big blue with Murray Newma...

how could what have happened? the season hasnt even started. he hasnt walked out. nothing has even happened. this is a non story. hawks only used a pick 38 on him - which isnt taking a huge risk for them. if dayle walks out on the club and quits - then we can sink the boots in - but until then i th...

But gee willikers, Hawthorn is the family club, and they have this great culture. How could this have happened? Oh, I forgot about all those players who were attending an Ivanhoe drug clinic And at Richmond. What about their great culture? IT has turned Dustin Martin and Jake King into fine upstand...

Con Gorozidis wrote:Garlett is only just 20.
He hasnt actually done anything wrong - hes just not playing in the pre-season. Big whoops.
The season hasnt even started and his club and his team-mates are supporting him.

sounds like the defence eagles supporters dished up on cousins late 90s to early 00s

Matt Finnis, well we are desperate so anyone who will accept the position will do it seems. Why is it that you people think Matt Finnis isn't a suitable candidate for the CEO role? He has experience in the football industry by virtue of his role of CEO of the AFLPA for the past 5 years, and prior t...

great work Netters. another one of his legacies. netters did not get 1 coaching appointment correct

can talk the talk like a good salesman, problem is he couldnt implement his talk for s***. good riddance

Is that too hard for you to understand.... Hawthorn took a positive risk... It will be little skin off their nose... In fact a courageous call... Collingwood did with Krakour, and of course there are many other examples.... AL will no doubt be bought up?! To me that's different The intelligence sug...
