Aaron Davey is about 5 spots too high. Good player but very over-rated.

Considering Sewell, Robertson, M.Johnson are all best and fairest winners and Milne kicks twice as many goals. whats Davey done, besides some exciting tackles?

Oh well.

5 months of 'due diligence' to tell us 'list management' drivel! well f*#k me. what do they take us for. I second it: weak and gutless. how dare sponsers, or board members in suits have so much say. by all means they can say no to taking him but after this length of time and positive sounds coming f...

He basically was. The club hyped it up to every little inch without saying no. They had several meetings with him, in cafe's, in restaurants...the team captain said basically said he would like to play with him. Go figure why 80% of the board is extremely dissapointed, it's because the club built it...

this is geting crazy now. maybe all these sponsers should've been on the committee to pick our coaches or be the ones to find our new training base. The players would love it if our sponsers could all give them a pre game rev up! Like was mentioned previously, i'd rather these companies showed some ...

I knew i shouldn't have continued to read it when i saw who wrote it.

I always liked Seira, a few games there when fit and running off half back in the mid-late 90's was great.

Jack Daniels is really the definition of GOP. Great value.

And i agee with Stephen Powell being a real asset for us recently.

Cant wait for him to have a good, solid year in '09... Me either!! I wouldn't rade him at all (short of pav, judd etc) but if he plays 20 odd games next season and doesn't finish top 10 in B&F then things are gonna blow! Blake had a fantastic year but Kosi has to do better... whatever the reaso...

[quote="ohwhenthesaints
No, I think he is 30 and will be 31 next season[/quote]

correct..

but makes no diff at all to how i'd like him at st.kilda!
look at other players picked up in psd and tell me how many are/were better than cousins!

There is a place there for him, perfect for us and him.

[quote="ohwhenthesaints Firstly, how old were they when they missed that amount football...it's not really the same comparison given that the guy is 31? As I mentioned earlier, we would want to be sure he's legs are holding up....ignore the fact if you want too.[/quote] All young. i get your po...

No-one disputes how hard he trains, it is more the match fitness that is the concern. He hasn't played for what, 18 months now? So what.. so does that mean we should not retain Maguire too? How many games has he played in the same time? What about when Hayes and Goddard did their knee's.. they were...

Dr Turf mentioned this morning on SEN that Glenn Archer was out and Grant Thomas was in. Personally it doesn't worry me if he and Caro don't get on, because the biggest idiot on that panel is Hutchy. He baits Caro with ill-informed comments and tries to bully her into backing down eg the Alan Didak...

With not much news about atm........lol, I know players no longer have hair on their chest, legs or..um, nevermind anymore but if we're not going to be a strong intimidating team wth Hamill, Guerra, Black, Powell etc gone the least we can do is grow some facial hair to look kinda tough and mean! 8-)...

We'd be silly not to look into it. 24yo with strong body who has been playing behind the best ruckman (best player even) and has had limited playing time. would provide that extra few years between King retiring and McEvoy being ready. Wouldn't want to give away first 2 picks tho but looks like a go...

Shouldn't the moderator's be getting involved now, this poster is going against all the forum rules....and seems to be just out to cause trouble? You would think so. Swearing, shouting, making vieled threats. Mabye the mods are awaiting advice from the club before acting :wink: :D :D both seem to b...

BTW, whichever poster got all pissy about someone saying that Schneider was cut from the Swans list: clubs (particularly those with salary cap concessions) don't typically trade players they want to keep to another club for pick 26 and throw in another pretty good player as well. So I reckon he was...

It is a quirky stat but we have lost 6 prelim finals in our existence and all 6 teams that have beaten us in the Prelim have gone on and won the flag. Our time will come, 3 prelims in 5 years, if you keep yourself there or thereabouts good things await. I'm unsure whats worse, the fact we've lost 6...

Brian Goorjian is probably the best basketball coach in Australia, and is especially good at developing young talent. He had a habit of getting teams to semi finals and grand finals, but never winning the big one. I've been lucky enough to speak to him quite a few times over the years. He once told...

....not his many disappointing games that saw him delisted... Schneider wasn't delisted, he was never cut from the list. He was traded. You've gotta look at all players who may improve your club but it all depends what you have to give in return. You wouldn't trade away a 1st rounder or anything fo...

-With the success of our backline this year, -the awesome job Blake has done, not to mention the -way the game is now played (he struggled with new rules last season) -and the time out Maguire has had i think that having a go up fwd has to be a consideration when getting matches into him in the 2nds...

Until we all learn that they are not going to be superstars for us, the better off we'll all be. Not every player ever picked becomes a superstar, it's time we accept that Dal & Kosi are going to be good/solid players for us from time to time, but never what we expected. Every team has the same...

[quote="Saint Bev Totally agree, he only plays well, againts lesser sides. Time to take the blinkers off.[/quote] when i left the ground ast night Hawks weren't a lesser side and Raph was one of our best, just like he's been for a while now. If we had a few more players that could get the ball ...

Dermie just predicted the hawks to win by 72 points. This is worked out in a complicated method of absract stupidity and mindless arrogance that Dermie has specialized in when it comes to the saints this year. He says that hawks are a 3 goal better team per qtr. thus the 72points. That and the fact ...

can't we leave the petty over sensitive racist rubbish alone.
the easiest thing is just to ignore it!

lets talk about footy!! we're in the finals people!!

with a bit of luck, Armitage will get more than 10 minutes on the ground in each quarter. I think you'll find he played 93% last time he played. but i digress, i don't think Ball wll play. I take it Birss will come in but who knows, its been interesting to say the least watching to see where he tur...

kosi was not great tonight and will probably never reach the potential that he should but we have to keep going because he's our best hope and he can do stuff.. we've got about 5-6 guys on our team who are fringe. we can't afford that many players like that.. 2-3 maybe. most people thought we'd get ...
