Bugger i wish i'd seen the question on Matthew Hardy.. I've read his book, it's a great read even though it's before my time. I can just relate to it so much and i recommend you all to have a read. It even inspired me to start my own!

If Ball doesn't stick around i'd have liked another in-and-under midfielder. But i really don't know what to expect with our late pick. I just worry about Lenny doing it all on his own..any Daniel Rich's we can sneak in?

Ha ha yep, a champ is our Lenny Hayes. It's funny i remember the year we picked him up in the draft - he looked like a scrawny kid and mum and i commented on his unusual name. Never did we expect him to become the player he is now. But i love him. The way he goes about his footy, his manner, his pro...

Plugger, who do you think will get the chop then?

When do delistings have to be in by??

On a side note, interesting to see that X (through no fault of his own, injuries, death of his father, etc) never truly lived up to his potential that saw Burkey present him with his old number...in hindsight it should've been given to Ball. Yep at the time i thought it should have gone to Ball too...

Oh I'm sorry we should have given in to the Pies, strengthening their side while doing bugger all favours to ours in the process. :roll: I don't see much difference in receiving pick 25 and 60, or receiving nothing. Not in this draft. If we'd have caved in to this offer you probably would have compl...

A question on slogans.. in what year was ours "show no mercy"? I remember it being on my Saints hat once and thinking it didn't really suit as we were always losing..no one seemed to be showing us any mercy!! I'd love for someone to post all the slogans we've had over the years.. like &quo...

With X's injury record, the amount of time since he's last played and the fact that he wanted out- he was worth next to nothing anyway. We wouldn't have got anything better.. ok pick 59 maybe.

Why would they want to give anything up for him when they can have him for free.

Maxy Hudghton I think Rob Harvey sumed it up best when he said no other player had graced the number like yourself. And that coming from Banger is saying something. You truly were supurb Maxy and with such a fear of being beaten, you so rarely were. One of the most consistent and reliable players to...

Yeah maybe he did. But Steven has a pretty decent debut and was never called back either. Eddy doesn't play too dissimilar to Armo (at this stage) and going into finals had more experience than Armitage so they persisted with him. Remember he didn't make it to a Grand Final either so you could argue...

Robert Harvey and Lenny Hayes are both substantially better players than X Clarke, and hadn't broken down several times previously (hamstrings). X wanted a fresh start and i don't blame him, plus he's seen how hard it's been for Luke to break into the side, imagine what it's going to be like for him...

Look at it realisitcally here. If you weren't a Saints supporter how much would you give up for X? The guy hasn't played in over a year and has had injury after injury. I think the club knows that they were never going to get anything decent for him, if anything at all. Seriously put him up for trad...

The way i see it, most fans are going to act bitter towards players that are no longer with them - look at what some of us have said about Ball. And who really cares what Freo fans think anyway..lastly lets be honest.. who actually looks good in a purple guernsey? :wink: Seriously the coaching staff...

I'm interested to see how accurate my source is, they seem to think this is legit.

Well now, pretty legit after all. Not that the deals are done yet...

Well i'm impressed. It appears my source was correct on both the Lovett and Ball counts. And before any media was released.
I would be happy to chase Lovett, he has that amazing evasive and lightning quick speed we could really do with.

Well it looks like my source was right.

If you were going anywhere but Collingwood Luke i would wish you luck, but, alas, whatever i hope you never see a flag. I just can't be positive, not collingwood. i despise everything about them.

I can understand how those who paid the amount they did thinking that they'd be able to converse with the players would be disappointed. If i was the club i would give warning that there will be no photographs/ autographs PRIOR to the actual night. This is a night for the players and not so much the...

Yeah that's the bit i forgot to ask cause i was too busy comprahending Saints without Lukey Ball!! I'm not sure but it would want to be good. Is he in contract?
