This thread sucks badly.

there are plenty of posts in threads written by people that makes my stomach turn
I either argue the point or move on & ignore the thread
I dont call for the posts to banned removed or worse run to the mods like a momma's boy
clearly plenty of people find this subject of interest

It especially sucks, when reading it from a very high horse

so looking down from that very high horse
is he back at training - or still in that 2 week highly contagious hammy quarantine period

[B.M]

Is anyone training this week?

[The Billings Method]

No one was desperate for Cousins

i was

it was a free kick

who cared about his short hair cut
if he got out of line
sack his hairy arse

fmd

up there with leaving tassy
for ... ‘no balls’

what happened to Guts gains Glory

just gunna quote myself
in honour of Mart being back in the fray
(‘n thank god for that)

anyways

i re read my little rant this morning
‘n i go

yea

(and this is why)

we got smashed at primary school
in footy and cricket
... won one game of cricket

i was in the side in grade 3
thats how desperate we were

we got smashed at high school
won the odd few

there’s my formative history

st kilda’ s history is about the same

where’s the DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
with this mob in rw+b

eradicate the pencil pushers
and the chicken legs for starters

they don’t burn.

I’ll interpret the above for everyone

Skeptic was on the money with his post regarding the goodwill we have built with the freeing of salary cap space for the Swans when we took Hannas off their books. We had to change our destiny instead of waiting for it to ‘just’ somehow happen.

DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

There is now a grand plan in place and it involves getting Luketh Parker. If we can somehow grab Lukey to add to Timmy, Danny and Zaccy, it will help secure an addition to the cabinet in cupeth number 2...and there you have it. If you build it ....and if you pay them well, silverware will come!

Am I right or what??!!

And yeah verily, I doth sayeth to you, "Thou speaketh the truth, brother."

Re Parker
1/ He is a leader at Sydney and unlikely to move
2/ Our cap is about Maxed out therefore can’t afford him
3/ He is a decent player, but no better than Steele or Crouch so not an immediate need

What we should of done is draft him in 2010 as an 18yo from Dandenong Stingrays where he dominated, instead of Jamie Cripps from WA

[The Billings Method]

Jamie Cripps. The 100 plus game, premiership player for the WCE? That Jamie Cripps?

Yep, the one & only thumb sucker.

Yes

The GOP forward pocket who averages about a goal a game in a powerhouse team.

Yes, he is a premiership player, thanks to Shuey, McGovern,Yeo, Huron and Co.

He has been a better player than I thought he would be after I saw him s*** himself in a VFL game vs Frankston (got sprayed by coach and Kosi at the time). But at the end of the day, he was recruited as a HB with the hope of transitioning to the midfield and ended up a small forward with not that many tricks. Besides running forward of the ball in a gun team.

I guess he didn't have a profile photo when he was drafted, either. His career measures up pretty well. The fact he has been a permanent fixture in a side as good as the WCE in his entire career speaks volumes.

I trust the judgment of the WCE recruiting way ahead of yours, teach. Permanent fixture in a premiership team and perennial finalist. They must have found that profile pic.

[B.M]

Why didn’t he have a profile pic when he was recruited?

[B.M]

Andrew McQualter was a permanent fixture in the StK side from 08-2011

How did you rate him??

My opinion, like yours doesn't matter when selecting the team. Lyon and co. Obviously, they rated McQualter. Just as the WCE did with Cripps. You don't. That says more about your judgment than theirs. I'm going with theirs thanks, teach.

I don't know, but you famously thought it disqualified him from being drafted, so you tell me.

Photos are essential if you want to get drafted. You have to make sure they get your best side. Get it wrong and you miss out. You know that!

Interesting draft 2010, probably the lowest talent pool in memory.
Would be hard to beat for a worse top 10 or 20.
Parker at #40 possibly the best player in the draft (retrospectively) along with (begrudgingly) Lynch #11.
