Saints closer to signing players

skeptic · Post: # 1173148Post **skeptic** » Sat 05 Nov 2011 7:21pm

my advice to you Clarko is that when you cristicise a player and want them cut... if your willing to post it... you need to put in a decent rational for it

exagerations like Raph drops more simple chest marks then anyone in the team is what gets you labelled a Raph hater. It's simply not true. I would argue that he's one of the bestter spoilers and ball handlers in this team and that his disposal is better than at least a third of it... Jones, Gilbert, Gram, Ray, Peake to name a few

I agree with your point of speed and skill but hardly point the finger at Raph for those... what about Gilbert by that logic?

you're allowed to have an opinion but back it up with proper thought.

As for Polo, no player is perferct. He came into the team to play as a ball winning midfielder and he does that ok... don't know if he'll stay but I didn't think he did that bad.

Ray, Peake and Jones were the 3 that I personally labelled as simply not effective enough to warrant their spots/salaries

Do you actually have to sign a contract? Can't you just go month to month like when your lease expires on your rent? You probably can't becuase the system doesn't allow it but just putting it out there.
You answered your own question.

The AFL has to be able to calculate that each Club's salary cap can be met.

They can and do prevent clubs from taking part in the pre-season draft unless a club can demonstrate that it has enough room in the salary cap.
Doubt whether our cap will allow us to take part in the pre-season draft..

will our Salary Cap issues affect how many rookies we will have in 2012
We are planning having 38 senior & 8 rookies on our list next year. Which is different to 40 & 6 this year. Means 6 national draft and rest rookies. But potentially 1 preseason pick aswell.

how does the veterans bit work then?

we had 2 veterans last year baker and lenny?
who are the 2 this year Lenny being 1 and will they be inside or outside the list? and what does this mean anyway?

Racists comments are never funny nor sarcastic.

I didn't say you were a Raph basher, I just didn't agree with your logic that the side couldn't win a premiership with him in it.

If he gets a role beyond Round 5 when Gwilt returns, I'm not sure, that's up to him to make it hard to omit him should he stay.

However even those that don't agree with his selection must be scratching their heads as to our lack of defenders if Zac leaves, Gwilt isn't back yet, and Raph goes.

Your opinion is we can't win a GF with Raph in the side. It is an uneducated opinion. One of a Tosser or imbecile. Terms you use so well.

Okay thank you for the support. We wont win the premiership for quite a few years, i have been with that opinion since Round 10. There will be many players that play in round 1 that will most likely not be involved. Please shhhh.

Sometimes I pine for the good old days when Goddard and Blakey were our whipping boys.

If you read the thread on the "Occupy" movement you willl understand where some on here come from in regards Clarke.

It is pretty easy to join the dots.

It's funny how we are the club everyone is bagging for our mismanagement of the cap, but the Pies are in the same boat but it isn't reported.

My mate has a nephew at the pies who got dumped onto the rookie list to make room and they told him they needed to find heaps of room to keep everyone even with leon davis going. He said they were paying 100% this year and with back ends will be in danger of going over. They are under pressure from signing daisy, swan and pendlebury.

Silly comment.

Not only is it disrespectful, and inaccurate, but the notion of having 22 absolute guns in a side is fanciful stuff.
My opinion and how is it disrespectful? Sorry but Raph will not be in the next St Kila Premiership side. It is not just Raph as well. Of course you cant have 22 guns. Raph may play a good game every now. I am not a Raph Basher, i dont sit their in the stands and go off at him.
