I'm not as disappointed this year as I was last year. Things definitely look promising for 2008. Everything seems to be going in motion nicely for Goddard's return. As well as Ball's recovery from OP/Tendonitis, Gardiner's finally fixed foot issues, and Armitage getting a full pre-season behind him....

Oh When the Saints wrote: I'd rather develop VanRheenen or our own young ruckman.

Agree on this, recruiting more 23+ y.o. ruckmen will stifle the growth and development of our own ruck youth.

How can we count on Gardiner playing 18 games when he has played about 15 in the last 3 years. Having said that Brooks will have to go this year. Not rated in RL opinion obviously. Finally getting all the surgery he needs to fix his ongoing problems, once they are right, and if he gets a full prese...

Kosi Rix Gardiner Brooks Van Rheenen Clarke* Blake+ * Gone after this year + Not really a ruckman but can if necessary This year, that's 6 ruckmen on our list. We cannot afford to have more than 5 ruckmen on our list, IMO. Especially when a few are GOP at best. If (and I think we should count on it)...

Can I ask why?

1997 vs 1966.

tomorrow's team is 100% dependant on the result of tonight's match. It change depending on if Adelaide win or not. I assume this is more in relation to the rehab of Ball, X, and perhaps a few other niggling injuries, rather than a "send off" game for a few people. I would be disappointed ...

Just pickpocket a pies member before the game. Win-win!

Although, chances are you've just stolen their life savings, so i'll leave that moral quandry up to you!

I hope we don't start getting the Sydney rejects, a bit like we did with Watson and players of his 'era'.

I've got a few neutrals that want to see a game while they're in australia, I figure tonight's game will be a good one to take them to.

Won't be barracking for the pies, but i'll certainly be booing the crows.

Also on Ferguson, with Voss out I would really like to see him in the forward line this week. We have ENOUGH back flankers, we need to start developing some of these guys, like Ferguson and Gwilt into potent forwards.

That's being very generous to Wayne Carey.

Good to see Ferguson get back to back games.

Also, I probably could have predicted MSG's thoughts on the selection, word for word. Except his slight backhander to Harvs.

Just wondering if the email for "saints members" that i recieved is legit. It points to the sainters.net domain, which doesn't do anything else but forward to saints.com.au Just the basic run of the mill "business investment" and advertising questionaire, as well as name and phon...

Will the signs be making an appearance against richmond?

IMO bring them out for every game of bakes' suspension.

Yep the Oper. is to release his adductor tendonitis.

Said we have put together some good footy in the second half of the year.

I can't view the video in firefox, any others with the same issue?

Most of the other points refer to VFL reserves selection. But basically, if you have played 7 VFL games, OR not played for the AFL affiliate after 1st July, you can play for the Scorpions in the finals. This is the reason why we wouldn't play blokes like Allen in the senior AFL side, should the game...

What if the case was this...

Geelong play Team X.

Geelong plays friday night round 22
Team X plays sunday twilight round 22 in Perth

Geelong demands (and recieves) a friday night final at the MCG.

I'm surprised someone else hasn't changed that sign to "EATING OUR OWN HISTORY"

I rarely gamble, but I always put $5 in the pokies whenever i'm down at moorabbin.

We didn't have to rely on other teams results to get in.

So, yes.
