Makes sense this article but it will never happen. You can't give a priority pick to a side that has already won 6 games. Gold Coast can get stuffed too. They have had ten times as many first rounders as us.

[B.M]

We beat the twice this year... but by how much?

They could easily be ahead of us on ladder

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

But they didn't.

[B.M]

So a priority pick is dependant on two kicks?

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Yep. We have won 6 games and can possibly win another 2 or 3.

Scores and margins are irrelevant, it's the win loss ratio that counts.

[B.M]

Suns haven’t played finals, when did they enter the league? 2011??

What else is significant about that season?

I prefer to win by a mile

If you win by an inch, you could easily have lost

You’re clearly not a real racer

Isn't there a forum for ex umps and current Pies supporters Dudley?

Gees I’d love for St Kilda to get a bite at the cherry like the Suns or Giants.

Gold Coast already lining up for a second bite.

They need to amalgamate!
With the lions. Play a few games at Carrara each season. Brisbane sun lions

And bring in a tassie team.

How’s DH going Ted, storm in a tea cup?

Stop baiting the dud, Ted or he may report you.

Don't forget you are on 2 strikes already and the forum would not be the same without your pearls of wisdom and inside information.

WTF?

I'm surprised by that comment.

Anyone exposed to elite sport knows the difference between 1st and 10th can be 3 one hundreth of a second.

In athletics its reaction time to the gun, in swimming its nailing the turn and getting the stroke rate right with 8 meters to go to nail your touch, that is the difference between gold and 4th.

A guess you were not happy with our 66 win then?

[B.M]

We were winning by an inch in the 2010 grand final, and one kick was the difference between glory and heartache.

So would I have preferred to be a mile in front, rather than 5 points, yep

Drake and Huggins?
They're ten feet under.

I’m trying to get your point, I think it is that it is better to have a buffer than be tight.

If you had exposure to elite level sport you’d understand the tolerances are so small that the luxury of margin is not possible.

At elite level there is no margin.

How did we get onto this?

Anyway, I don't want us to get charity or special assistance.

The Saints might be going to give it a crack … maybe

If he pulls this off it's one small claw from the abyss he's sinking in. I'd love to get back into the 2nd round of the draft, gives us two in the Top 25.

is it just me or does anyone else think that Lether's is secretly Iron Man's Tony Stark ?

“Why wouldn’t you? You don’t ask, you don’t get. They’re different circumstances but the results are the same.”

Or more likely

“Why wouldn’t you? You ask, so GC don’t get"

It's only important he thinks that.

If McCartin and Roberton retire, we should push hard for what we can within the rules.

Here's a thought - If they were free agents that were taken by other clubs, what compensation would we get?
