I liked josh. Thought he would be a good player for them.

[quote="BAM! (shhhh)"]Not convinced that's what it means at all. At least I hope we're not making our strategies based around teh health of Michael Gardiner. Gardiner has never in is career played 22 in a season. Gardiner and King are pretty sizable injury risks, and Kosi's got an amazing ...

ah well. nearly right bono.

just not mcqualter.

awesome news! Put aside who has gone or why they have gone. As I said on a previous post....it's TIMING......get rid of the dead wood now, so if there are any targets for the PSD we are on the table and ready to negoiate. ie. if we want Brennan or Kepler Wessels, etc, other clubs know where we stan...

nah, they don't count.

not Mcqualter. Still 1 year on his contract to go. didn't pay him out.

Found this on google: http://about.theage.com.au/view_award.asp?intid=99 These events followed a dispute the previous summer over the appointment of a football manager who, ultimately, was never appointed. The administration had decided to hire former Essendon football manager Matthew Drain but cha...

Smouha - he was the young Israeli (?) guy recording exceptional results at Draft Camp yeah? From memory he was top three beep, won the time-trial and was quick and agile too. Has been playing the game for only a year and adapted well. Would seem to be certainly worht the risk of a forties pick. Num...

I was very happy with picking him up and thought the trade was a bargain but some people may be dissappointed not with King, but the fact that he was one of four players we picked up who will take 4 spots from 4 young players in the draft. But, I was very happy with it and as he is fit he should be...

Huge scope for improvement in 2008. Let's look at who played bugger-all football in 2007 Hudghton Goddard R.Clarke Maguire Gardiner Then there were others who played injured or underdone for most of the season Hayes Ball Gram Add two new draftees who were injured, or were given insufficient game ti...

the 3 that were captains this year will be captains next year.

Lyon is not doing a rotational captaincy

Get him in the PSD cheap worth a shot if we are going to recruit king and are obviously going for the flag next year!!

would rather watts stay

Depends when your contract runs out. Some contracts run out just after the draft, others before. Ok so if a player is out of contract before draft he can nomiate for either (or both). If he goes in the national draft he gets a automatic 2 year contract and the base contract. If he enters the pre-se...

There are only a few reasons you lose your job. Apart from knocking someone out, sexual abuse or pilfering the main reason is that you cannot do the job. I think Kenny was in over his head, that is why. but why does most people on here believe he was in over his head? thats what i don't understand....

He has been asked to. Why though there is no point. The draft is 3 weeks after training starts what is the point of 3 weeks training. I believe they are prepared to have another look at him and if he goes alright they may keep him. In other words a big kick up the bum i'd be happy with that. i was ...

as the above says

why?

why would the saints get rid of both brooks and watts? espcially with no gherig on the scene. maybe they would do bett er this year with games into them.

Geelong have no interntion of using 90, the accepted the trade to prevent both players being having to be delisted and they wont have to pay out Gardiners contract. Yes they are going to use pick 90. They are using it for their Father/Son pick. Adam Donohue his name is I think. nah, they will use p...

can do through the national draft. that is how we picked up ackland mcgough, guerra etc.

what did he do wrong? what was wrong with him?

MB.....some of us cannot forget GT because we understand that the Saints could have and should have round about now and over the last year or two, have had the best list in our history. It is pretty clear that when GT was left by himself to oversee our list that he did an appalling job. When Waldro...

if the saints did not support van reenan then he would not be on the rookie list. so therefore of couse the sdaints are supporting him.

Agree with the OP 100%. People on this forum get far too carried away with the trade/draft period altogether. It can be 2-3 seasons before you know for sure that your decisions in this period were good, bad or indifferent. The other two are simply hacks for mine. We don't need them and I don't see ...
