it's a good point Mr.Magic

for those that want him gone... who would you replace him with?

i reckon we have a gem of a forward here that can rotate through the midfield but we'll never know it

I quite like the op although I would keep Raph and maybe McQualter too

good to see that in my week off to Tassie... not much has changed here

Why would you say that? GW has implemented every reform he was brought to the club to implement. He has brought sponsors to the club, expanded the football department and most importantly kept a very steady ship in failrly unsteady times. He does this in his own time. Every minute he spends working...

lol, so u have to cry to be a good president s*** I hope we checked that out b4 we voted for him rather than meaningless parts on his CV like qualifications and employment history etc does anyone know how Greg filled out the following part of his application (our future depends on it)? Q17 Are you a...

Keep watching Otiman! That is where Gilbert will finish up, sooner rather than later. Robbing peter to pay paul? To me, Gilbert looked really good as a HFF... hard running, tackling, rotating into the midfield. Good defensive pressure, good attacking flare. To me he looked good there... has been aw...

my memory of Plapp: A game against Port in 2001 (i think) where we were getting smashed and he took contested mark after contested mark in the backline and then after half-time was swung forward where he kicked a few goals and got us back in the game... thought he could have been special Mitchell ju...

i'd rather we bottom out...

hope that this would get the message to RL to
a) stop playing mediocre players that can't improve
b) start playing kids
c) rethink the game plan and give him an excuse to try new things w/o losing face

maybe i'm confusing his periods of suspension with injury but it seems to me that he's been in and out of the team with odd niggles for the last season and a half...

not true?

At his best, Baker's a top line tagger and semi midfielder. He gets injured... Remains injured and injury prone Becomes slower... can't play on fast, small forwards Loses fitness Loses the ability to hurt opposition as a midfielder His tagging declines by 10% every year as he gets older Most probabl...

I think Baker's finished

trade if possible

Has a spot on the list for specific match ups...

the only player on our list that can play on the small fast forwards.

not really suitable for anything else so should spend the rest of the season in the 2s

i think the new board is doing ok so far

major sponsor
sorted out a new home for us
Fixed up the probslems with the scorpions
Got us to Sandy
Completely supported the coach

but Raph is playing in his 1st injury free season... this is the point we have wanted to get him to since he was drafted...

if he's ever going to improve it will be in the next season and a half

i think that providing his body holds up, he should get at least one last year

Personally, I've written X off... simply too inconsistent...

he's had 2 years longer than Raph on the list... I think Raph deserves at least 1 more season

Just a few things that caught my eye • It is well known, whether true or not, that the majority of team voted for Lenny Hayes to be Captain Is it??? I've never heard of this b4... may i ask as to what u base this on... source? • The club selected Nick Riewoldt for Captaincy for three reasons: 1....

would still rather have Raph in the backline than Gram

BIIIIIRRSSSSSSSSSSSS

Peter Everite inducted into the Saints hall of fame and has been made Captain of the Saints team of the century bumping Robert Harvey down to an emergency

I guess he'll have to retire b4 that happens... that and sell his soul to the devil again

Just on TD ( i remember following it closely at the time) the contention was that he was very limited in his ability... as in there was only so much he coult teach AND that he had corporately embarrassed the club on a number of occassions with his falling asleep being the last straw... IMO we should...
