Re: Boring Wins v Entertaining Losses

An interesting thread a few years ago by the OP of this one.

I'm seeing a trend.

A little resistant to change there Joffa?

Milne, Kosi and Blake are great club men...but tough decisions need to be made at the end of the year. Lack of height may save some.
I think Junk goals usually refers to the game being over. Not sure his qualify.

Re: Milne.. time is up

Was almost the man who won us the match in the end. Kicked crucial goals- set up Armo a sitter who then missed.... 3.3 for a small forward is a good return. vs Riewoldt 2.1 Kosi 0.1 Milera 0.1 Schneider 2.0 And you think Milne cost us the game. I'd suggest either get a grip or loosen it buddy.

<Insert Player Name Here>

The standard Saintsational thread these days Totally useless. Should be dropped. Too old. Too slow. I'm a moron who thinks every player in the team will be perfect and never make a mistake. No I'm not aware that every player in the AFL has bad games. Look at that nice Chris Judd fellow, he would ne...

Re: Are you really happy with that?

We had 1+ scoring shot. We had 20 more tackles Not sure about contested possesions. Pretty sure we won the clearances. Had plenty down on form or sore, most probably from our run of short breaks. Lost by 4 points against a top 4 club on their own heap. All things considered, it's not too bad when y...

Re: Drop Milne--need I say more?

Milne missed sitters! Are you serious? I mean, we nearly came back a number of times to have Milne miss a sitter. Have a look at Scotty's face when he missed that one when he was strolling into an open goal. Was almost the man who won us the match in the end. Kicked crucial goals- set up Armo a sit...

It will take time. I expect IF we do take this deal the first few years won't have the biggest impact in NZ and I expect the people complaining here will be running out the I told you so lines.

Re: 2 to 3 games in NZ

KiwiKick (Oz Kick equivalent), started March 2009 with 41 participants, 2010 had 8152, 2011 had 15210, projected for 2012, 24000. By the end 2011 had 309 accredited coaches.

Would indicate there is interest.
