darling a huge mistake

[doggerel]

Sam Fisher at 50 something in the draft. Siposs at 70 odd. You win some, you lose some.

Fairy godmother gives us a free agency pick
one of
_Darling
_Reid(collingwood)
-Mullet from Adelaide
Which one do we take?

[st_Trav_ofWA]

Let's be honest had we drafted him he would be wanting to head home about now ... Reason why he was overlooked by everyone but west coast was due to the way he interviewed at the draft camp .. Rumour is WCE spoke to him about how to act to build on the "troubled player" line ... All he ever wanted was to be an eagle so he "tanked" all the interviews .. And let's be honest given the scandal of Lovett we were not going to take any risks at all

First I heard of that, very interesting. I thought Essendon were the only ones who did that! So pick him up and cop a Gunston/Caddy situation. No thanks

Pavlich did the same in his draft interviews back in the day .. He basically told the recruiters if he was taken by anyone but the Crows he would leave once his first contract was up .. Freo called his bluff and picked him anyway then went all out to keep him happy over the journey to want to stay ... Honestly though not a hard sell to convince a bloke that living in freo near the beach is better the living in the city of churches ..

Reid .. He would be a massive boost to our side ..

[stinger]

i suppose that's just one more in a long line of offensive posts by my stalker...keep it up ..i guess that's probably the reason why you no longer host saints players on behalf of the club...they discovered you were mentally unstable eh???

Don't start you old coot.

You are still pissed off that a former forumite banged your precious daughter.

Don't know the history of this, but that is a really low comment

yep.....and it's just plain crap.....but then plugga reckons he was banging my missus..also crap....because neither of them know who i am or even what suburb i live in.....and both of them appear to have gotten away with being pretty low.....


the redeemer has had several reincarnations.....and that was even one of them..."reincarnation" that is.....usually gets himself banned after a while.....plugga seems to lead a charmed life.....he seems to be able to stalk and insult pple and their families with impunity.... tell you a story though....

after his comment about my wife last year , he chickened out on a function we both won tickets off mr magic for, as he was scared she was going to have a piece of him.....

"gotten away with"? for f***'s sake, you're as bad as ray hadley. why do you need protection from internet heroes? you know they don't know who you are, so what do you care?

nanny state bulls***.

For anyone who hasn't read it, Emma Quayle from before his draft:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/j ... 17vwe.html

To summarise, Darling didn't have a particularly good championships, he didn't have ideal KPF size and he had quite an ordinary season off the field. James Sellar would have been in people's minds. John Butcher's first season at Port wasn't very good either. Those were the two famous sliders in the years preceeding Darling.

Everyone bar Collingwood passed on him at least once. Gold Coast passed on him eight times. They had plenty of people who knew him well. West Coast took him with their second pick with a bonus pick. If he blew up, they had another selection three picks later. Our second pick wasn't until 43 and we'd blown our first pick the year before on Lovett. Nobody was talking about us needing a tall forward anyway with Roo, Kosi, Stanley, Tom Lynch and Tommy Walsh at the club either.

With two years of hindsight, yeah - mistake. I don't have a problem with the club passing on a player for character issues though. There's always other good kids out there. Cripps looks like a keeper.

What the f*** are you talking about you loe life piece of cleaning.

[joffaboy]

What the f*** are you talking about you loe life piece of cleaning.

The goose has no idea. The people who used your tickets reliably tell me the cleaner didn't turn up either.

So you reckon you banged stingers wife did you? Can I see that post? Does it exist at all?

I know stinger brought my family into a post , but shame on you P66 for saying you had sexual relations with someones wife

I aint a snob but I dont bang cleaners wives. They usually stink because of their husband. In this case the lady had no hope.

[Saintersss]

I remember draft day I was hoping and praying he would fall to our pick and when he did I couldn't believe my luck. Unfortunately we didn't pick him, but hopefully Cripps can blossom into a great player.

Sam Fisher at 50 something in the draft. Siposs at 70 odd. You win some, you lose some.

I think it's a little different to those as Darling was rated extremely highly and could have potentially been taken with the top 10, but slipped.


But, I'm not sure why people keep harping on about it. It's over, we didn't pick him, move on.

[saintspremiers]

Who gives a Shyte?

We have Pelchen now. It's his second crack at trading/drafting. Last year we all agree we did much better.

Watters came on board at the time of the draft last year and had no prep time. This time he has had a year.

Get excited about our best prep and staff for trading and drafting probably ever you silly old goat!

[PJ]

Quite possibly the worst thread ever

[Thinline]

Grown men. Awesome.

[Dr Spaceman]

If you can't change things then forget about it.

Clearly some people in this world can only be happy by being unhappy.

Mitch Grigg was considered top 5 last year but had attitude problems, didnt go til 40s or 50s. Is yet to play a game. In two years if he comes good will we winge we missed him. Zorko was overlooked by everyone for 4 years! Sam Gibson 10 years!!

On a side note, if I was so upset over certain things said about my family, I wouldn't randomly cowardly bring it up in a thread about Darling. Screams of attention seeking, for a man old enough to have a daughter old enough to sleep with forumites, I would say grow up and be the bigger man as if someone has never had a lend of you grow the hell up!!

...i said gotton away with being pretty low....they are still on here...creeps, both of them....but you're right...i haven't lost any sleep over either of them.....

[3rd generation saint]

What if what if what if, hey what if Dernmot Brereton lived a couple of kilometres down the road, he would have been zoned to St.Kilda.
Unless you can build a time machine, travel back and change history, what's the point in being upset about it.
It happened, it's over, move on, the only draft we should be worrying about is the one that is about to happen.

there was a report about something like that in the papers recently....said he came on a bit strong to some of the questioning.....gave an answer saying..."i'd knock you out"..put down more to his aggressive nature on the field than anything else...

well seeing that original post was made by you and got you banned if i remember correctly, i have a mind to report you...only you are not worth the effort......and also
seeing that you are full of s*** as nobody on here knows any of my daughters...

well I don't know either of you but that comment from redeemer is totally unacceptable

mods .... act on it please

[bergholt]

what rule would that fall foul of? being a dick? if there were rules against being a dick, there'd only be three people left on this entire forum. how about everyone grows a thicker skin and doesn't sook about stupid comments which vaguely insult them? see yesterday's violence in sydney for an example of what happens when people are too easily offended.

[matrix]

what a fantastic thread
the old firm banging on about something that has no relevance to the thread what so ever but lets compare the size of our cocks for the world to see

hahahahaha

keep it up
its a complete laugh for everyone else
banged his wife
lol

[Con Gorozidis]

I arrived late to this thread. Who banged who? Did I get any action? I hope so.

[stevie]

Last person I called 'darling' was pregnant 20 seconds later...

at least you can make me laugh stevie.....

No worries, stinger. That's why God...or maybe Allah...or Mohammed... well, whoever the control freak is who runs this universe, put me here.

They told me I could be a funny prick, and love the Beatles, but the catch was I had to follow St.Kilda.

I said, 'yeah, f*** it, that'll do me'.
