What's a netter option, will he win us a flag ?

No, bobmurray. No he won't.

Some respect for a 9 times B&F and 3 times Brownlow medallist

You’re a fool

Was the abusive term really necessary? Oh sorry, I forgot to account for your Dunning-Kruger Syndrome. Play on, you've given me my daily BM -driven chuckle.

Keep posting. You dig the hole deeper with every post. As for the "pretend CV". Just another example of your childish trait of hurling a baseless insult when your drivel is exposed for what it is. Of course, as always, you make sweeping statements about a poster you know nothing about. Th...

Covid recruits are a bit like any movie made in 2020, not that good. Vortex - I totally disagree . The Dry , starring great Saints fan Eric Bana, was released in 2020 and I reckon is an excellent movie. The recent sequel wasn’t too bad either. Actually I watched that too and I agree it was good...o...

Haha Dunning Kruger I don’t pretend to be anything other than a frustrated saints supporter. I do challenge opinions and decisions made at Moorabbin. I am not a true believer nor do I have blind faith. Some do, because they need something to believe in, history suggests I am right to not trust StKi...

Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience. Very very happy to deal Membrey would be good for them actually Ross too - excellent leadership, durability, low kms …sign here C...

Watching Bob Skilton hugging AFL officials after the 2005 premiership was like watching the Vichy French hugging their Nazi oppressors during WW2 (saw it on a doco.) Sickening watching both. The ultimate sell out.

It was great to see Arie Shoenmaker's debut. Tall, blond and with German name. It got me thinking which other players we've had with German ancestors Carl Ditterich and Nick Riewoldt immediately spring to mind, also tall and blond. Stewie Leowe, Adam Schnieder, Troy Schwartz .. any others? I think ...

Maybe stick to writing then, because if you think an ‘enforcer’ is what we need… you don’t understand football Of course I don't understand football. You know everything as you believe your opinion is fact. I played over 200 games in the ammos at a fairly high grade. I coached for three years with ...

Mate I don’t think I embarrassed myself by saying what we need is an enforcer. Still don’t know wtf that actually meansmeans It’s not 1972 with 1 umpire, no cameras, boggy grounds and players hitting opponents behind the play. I wasn’t a fan of enforcers then, definitely not now Seriously, BM, as p...

What about the Pou? He returned good stats for Sandy in his last 2 games. Too soon?

Herr Schickelgruber's descendants send their greetings from Argentina.

I hope they give the Moose a try soon. We must find out how he goes at the top level. His form over his last four games has been excellent, possibly career-best. I thought Campbell's presence last night had a positive effect, overall. It would be interesting to see if the Moose could have a similar ...

In theory at least, Firey. We are in furious agreement about that. The truth is some are better at it than others.

I can't see the relevance of this thread in the current game. The role of the enforcer is as relevant as ever. Of course, it has evolved along with the game, and as stated in a previous post, thank goodness for that. The outright thugs are gone, replaced by the Hayes, Gehrig and Hamill types. Ball ...

So I don't know what I'm talking about, BM? I'll accept your verdict because if anyone on here is an expert on not having a clue about what they themselves are talking about, it has to be you. I've often deferred from taking apart your nonsensical, contradictory and poorly written posts, but no more...

Plenty of tough players who don’t take a backward step including Webster, Steel, Battle, Wilkie, Sinclair, Crouch, Winhager. A couple of those are the modern equivalents. As close as you’ll get to enforcers. Good call. All likely types but are missing the "intimidation factor". I believe ...

And Max King is well and truly big enough to look after himself.

The observable evidence would suggest otherwise. He could use some help.

What does an ‘enforcer’ actually do?! Run around hitting people? I prefer Players who can get the ball, and use it well Read my post slowly and carefully. I'll keep it simple just for you, B.M. A man what plays the game hard but fair. Who attacks the ball with ferocity (sorry that is a big word) an...

An old fashioned enforcer would be rubbed out very quickly . Agreed, Rubyjo, and thank goodness. I'm not talking about a thuggish type like Rod Grinter, Glen Archer or Barry Hall. I'm talking about an enforcer who plays within, or on the edge of the rules. It's why I nominated Hamill. There are ple...

One thing our club has always been notorious for is the "enforcer" type of player. From Ditterich, Sarau and O'Dea in the 70's, Cunningham, Burns Spud and a young Plugger in the 80's and 90s, with Baker , Hayes and Hamill in the noughties the last of the breed. We haven't had a player who ...

I don’t think players get to AFL if they take short steps or consistently shirk contests In fact I take umbrage at the thought any elite footballer is soft. There are degrees of hardness, that’s positional. But no one who’s got to the elite level is soft. Only people who haven’t played the game at ...
