woah really?? i hope gardiner's father is ok. what is wrong with sammy is he just resting?? i thought that they might of given geary another go he is a champ. I'm sure it is just to spread the game time around. Sam Fisher and Geary have shown the coach plenty already. He will want to be trying othe...

who will be missing tonight,? Submitted squad just come through. McQualter, Sam Fisher and Geary out. Disappointing about the last 2 but got to remember Rossy is trying to share the game time around. Expect he wants to try out others in the key defender roles. Rooey's knee still a concern so perhap...

M. Gardiner playing.

Interesting to see a lot of love for C.Gardiner, just don't get ahead of yourselves yet guys, every Geelong supporter I know has told me the same thing, he is the sort of play that gets your hopes up, shows signs he will be something special and then lets you down, until he can play 5 solid consecu...

So sick of gloom & doom! In spite of "best practice" injuries will occur - Yes Max is a Big worry, Fraser will be there for start of REAL seaon, & bet Kosi is too! BUT how good were the young guns!! - even ELJAY put in his bit- & how about young Jack :lol: :!: GO SAINTERS :!: ...

I think its a good idea and inevitable. The draw can made fairer as in the example given by Lifelong Saint. Although it is tough on supporters, the struggling Melburne clubs can relocate. The reason they are struggling is that they cannot get enough supporters and sponsorship. Its not because they c...

Steven King - Was good in the ruck contests and took a couple of handy marks. Didn't stand out, but he showed enough to show that he is an improvement on what we have had previously. Xavier Clarke - Great game. Looks extremely fit, confident and his skills were sharp. I really like him in the midfi...

going to cause a stir.. but based on tonights game... when goose is up and running, I'd almost be disappointed if max got a game. I love the guy and all just think the backilne is better without him... but maybe he was just rusty I was very happy to see Max out there and doing his thing this early ...

Adelaide are always extremely fit at the start of the new season. Neil Craig is a master at getting his team in top condition. They are well-drilled also. The lethargy of the Pies, after 20 days of travelling and two attacks of gastro, also made Adelaide look good.

Not only a great deal for sainters at $20 a copy, Two Towers is a good bloke who goes out of his way to help fellow sainters. 2 years ago he even delivered copies for myself and Dal_Santos_Gal to the intra club game making him late for a wedding (not his own :lol: ) !! My copy too!!! TT, can you pu...

Also ... those people who ordered online in the very first week didn't receive the email with details about the betting voucher. You have to let us know so we can get you fixed up.

I'm bringing one to the practice match (8th Feb) for Eastern so I can easily bring a few more. Just pm your mobile phone number if you want to catch up. Its a fantastic book if you've never seen it. Although I'm not personally involved in any of the writing I am very proud of it. Would take easily a...

As usual $20 to saintsational or saints people if you can pm me and arrange to pick it up from me at Champion Data at Southbank or the Heatherton/Moorabbin area. I've only just started reading it but so far I reckon its even better this year. I had better let you know that you can get a really top d...

Got mine signed by Burkie and Harves. Mint condition. I paid about $200 for it at a charity auction years ago but sounds like it might be worth it in a few more years if it stays out of print.

According to our footy crew at Champion Data, McEvoy was the standout ruckman in the draft. They rate Kreuzer as a forward but not as a ruckman. Who needs a ruckman to be quick in any case? As long as he gets the ball and can lope along on those long legs I don't see it as an issue.

Interesting trivia Saint66au but you are surely not suggesting that Big Footy readers are better informed than the Geelong Falcon's coaching panel?

Brother of Daniel Connors at Richmond. I would love it if we actually took a player someone has heard of occasionally. The fact that no one mentions these players is generally because they aren't good enough. Of the 11 picks from pick 64 there were only 5 taken and 2 were rejects getting a second c...

another justin sweeney will be delisted by years end. A skinny nobody why?? WHY?? skinny = not good footballer@!!!!! gilbert is skinny.. gilbert is 193cm and hardly skinny skinny he is strong. this weed is 65kg and only 181cm??? that is pathetic. skinny is about the physical body shape, not how tal...

Ross Lyon on SEN. Connors quick. Has got under the radar due to injury. I thought he said 'one of the Richmond Connors'.

If he is running then I'm happier. Surely he would not be running with a foot injury. The injuries to his feet would also have made it difficult to get fully fit.

What self-righteous hypocrites some of you are. The reality is that Cousins requires detoxing before his admission to the rehab center. Plenty of complete fabrications passing as 'news'. So he has deviated off his recovery but that should have been obvious to everyone in the first place otherwise he...

No mistake. Richmond are spewing. They also play their home game against the demons at the Dome!!

Very good draw IMO even with the trips away. I quickly pencilled in 14 wins on this year's form although I'm undoubtedly being the supreme optimist as usual.

Schneider is not a midfielder. It has been stated elsewhere that one of the reasons Sydney is parting with him is Roos' concern about his team carrying too many players who do not have the aerobic capacity to move into the midfield. They have Nick Davis and O'Laughlin as similar types (i.e. goal-sne...

He also told Carlton last week that he wouldn't move there but all this means is that he will be giving some other club the front-running and the best opportunity to grab him.
