Raph is seeking FA. Saints still keen on him. Simple as seeking opportunity at another club through FA process. Not demanding 700k

Good news. He's not gone yet.

Am sure he just wants to be somewhere where he will get some game time.

cant blame raph for looking to move - he was played out of position this year. To put him at full back against north melbournes giant forwards was ridiculous. He was far from our worst player that day but seemed to cop the blame for our poor perfomrance. Would love to see him play in the forward lin...

He still gets homesick...but IMO, was much more upbeat about his circumstances in Melbourne in regards to belonging and his footy career. He lives with Siposs and I think maybe one of the other young guys who I can't remember right now....whereas before he was living with a family. He just seemed m...

at the best and fairest they auctioned of the "last seat on the plane". Wonder where these seats are?

but you can book your flight over with qantas and your flight back with air new zealand which is cheaper for the return.
air new zealand have direct flights back to melbourne on the friday and sunday for 271

perhaps they got thrown out for fowl language?

think those sort of third party deals are not allowed which makes me wonder how carlton can get away with it with judd - just another case or rorting the salary cap.

Geelong manage to do ok without Altitude.... But good on saints for trying something. The saints Surgery List includes S Fisher - Toe -completed Saturday- Schneider- foot- coming week Hayes - Knee- Grand final weekend. Riewoldt-- no surgery but recovery and rehab who else? actually geelong had a tr...

not an automatic win by any means. Hopefully we still have enough experienced leaders to make the difference - watch milney stand up today and kick a bag of goals.

raph spent most of the game playing on an opponent who was far taller than him. Even so he did really well and put in a massive effort. Yes he got run down but he was not the only player to make mistakes. Our real problem is that we do not have a true full back and so we are playing raph and jimmy g...

Think the media hated ross lyin and his "bubble" more to the point. Lets hope fremantle cop the same treatment that we have had over the past few years.

As an interesting fact when we were deciding who to sponsor this year Jason Gram had no sponsors at all when we were given a list of who was available.
He is of course in the leadership group and therefore more expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong. So Zac Dawson decides he wants to go to the Dockers, they get him, we get nothing...................... :evil: He is uncontracted that's how it works we had the chance to trade him but there was no deal struck ... Fremantle were not prepared to offer anything as they probab...

I heard Ivy from Port Melbourne on SEN with Bartlett earlier. She suggested (rather strongly) that Mr. Dawson was NOT popular amongst the females connected to the club. She even said that she'd help him pack his bags. Ivy very rarely, if ever "BAGS" a current player, and for her to be so ...

The filth have already lost leon davis due to salary cap issues. I think that Zac is an underrated player but why would the pay him what they were not prepared to pay neon leon.
Carlton must have salary cap issues as well especially now that the afl is cracking down on third party deals - Judd?

I cant believe all the negative comments on here. We are going to do really well without a full back next year arent we. And dont forget how well zac played up forward against carlton. He is a far more versatile player than most on here seem to give him credit for

BigMart wrote:thats why they won

Actually geelong won in 2009 because of inaccurate kicking for goal by the saints forwards (and a fairly dodgy decision to award tom hawkins a goal when the ball clearly hit the post)
In 2010 a dodgy bounce cost us the first grand final
So can't agree with you

the only downside may be that that game will be Fox coverage-- and not free to air. But I assume that they will be in melbourne so we will all be at the game anyway and wont care whether it is covered live on tv mme if Interstate then that could be less appealing-- will suit coun try travellers bet...

I suspect that bakes record with suspensions means that he cannot coach at any level of football.

Sorry I read the first few words and gave up. Don't they teach proper english in school any more??

If Harv goes, Ling as midfield coach. I hated Ling when he played but I wouldnt mind at all if he was an assistant coach for us. Sorry he lost me in that "you just cost us the game" sook when he played on after the umpire had awarded a free kick to jimmy gwilt. Should have had a 50 m pena...
