if we want them to be coaches at stkilda then we are better off letting them go elsewhere first so they can learn things outside the stkilda footy club and then bring them back to us

should retire number 35 and keep 8 free for a couple of years

if luke ball stays then part of his new contract should state that he has to get this as a huge tattoo on his chest

i am so sick of hearing things like ''stkilda should have done everything possible to get the deal done for luke ball'' NO. we should have gone with a deal that gave us something we thought was fair and what the filth offered was far from it. our game is turning into american sports in that the play...

those players are all excellent individually but who knows if they would be as good if they were all put in the one side?

lets go back in time and change something so that then ben cousins didnt turn out to be a drug addict and somehow we get him to the sainters and BANG we are set

i like that thought

That 2001 draft is really coming back to haunt us now. Let's have another crack at it: Pick 2 - Chris Judd (instead of Luke Ball) Pick 5 - Jimmy Bartel (instead of Xavier Clarke) Pick 13 - Nick Dal Santo Pick 21 - Steve Johnson (instead of Matt Maguire) Pick 37 - Leigh Montagna Pick 49 - Dane Swan ...

whos to say that if we got judd and ball went to west coast that ball wasnt the one holding up their premiership cup in '06 and judd was being traded right now?

why has he got a 1 year deal on the table then?

gee some people are talented with photoshop

just to excite me, if anyone has alot of spare time, can they chuck ben cousins in a saints jumper?

i thought raph was brilliant at time this season.

had a shocker in the gf but if we got rid of the players that had a shocker we would be left with 5 players

i spose if what port is saying is true then CB could be considering his future elsewhere

i would normally say a bloke like campbell is the heart and soul of a club and wouldnt even consider another team winning anything if his team wasnt involved.......but then we look at luke ball

my god if freo played like that all the time i would be worried

would love to have him but:

1. hawthorn wont have it

2. players like that dont just leave. there would have to be something seriously wrong behind the scenes (luke ball) for him to go

the dogs have no interest in getting rid of everitt, and we dont need him. farren ray wasnt the greatest player during finals but he was in our top 10 during the year and one of, if not the best 'recycled' players of 2009. i agree that king should go. gardy was by far our better big man. i think edd...

anyone agree that mcqualter should go back to being a tagger?

played the shut down roll better than most in the league last year before CJ came along this year

i reckon both can be taggers/major pill winners next season

we will not get everitt. and milney has nothing to worry about. schneider is the one who should be worrying. im sure we got him because he not only provided a smaller option up forward, but has had finals experience....... didnt help us at all in a game that only needed a few more goals than we coul...

how can anyone possibly pick schneider over milne?

wouldnt you say apart from the 'stars' (roo, hayes, goddard, etc.) milne and blake would have been our most consistent players over the last 5 years?

collingwood seem to never have to rebuild. geelong will be geelong once again. bulldogs are stronger than last season now with a key forward. brisbane were brilliant last season and will obviously be better off with fev. all of that wont matter aslong as we come out as strong as we did last season a...

i actually get angry when i read people talking about trading ball for draft picks. we dont need draft picks. and we showed that by trading our highest one for an experienced midfielder yesterday. trade most of our picks for player/s and trade any players that need to be traded for more players. we ...

could it be that ross lyon didnt like ball or didnt rate him as a footballer so thats why he didnt get as much game time as he wanted. and now looking to next season, lyon could have told him that he wasnt going to play anymore than this season?? If that was the case he wouldn't have played in the ...

i agree that we would prefer to get nothing in return rather than send him to collingwood or essendon who may just need that in and under midfielder to boost their list and be a flag contender.

who is collingwood gonna give us? josh fraser? no interest

i say dane swan or leon davis for luke ball

i will be in new york for the geelong game and ive worked out that it will be 1am sunday morning new york time but im just wanting to know if anyone knows a pub that i can go to and watch it live?

yeh but our problem is we cant win the prelim so we dont get a shot to continue this pattern
