Re: Interesting read on building a team from A.Ferguson
Surely you dont think SAF's success is due to cash flow? Did he have advantages over bottom feeders, absolutely. But he spent as much as the others at the top and reigned supreme. 9c. Convince yourself that your success has nothing to do with money and resources and everything to do with your own ge...

Re: Keep Dal At Saints Campaign
A player is never above a club, you do whatever is best for the club. End of. I don't really know how, loyalty, commitment, tradition, honour, affects the players. I assume it has some significance -- it obviously has massive significance for fans. A some stage, maybe 200 games, surely we need to dr...

Re: Keep Dal At Saints Campaign
If the offer we get is above the club's valuation of Dal, of course we should trade him.
And no it doesn't have to 100% guarantee anything, if the list managers think it makes us 1% more likely to trade we should do it.

Re: Dal Santo to North Melbourne
This is the best post I have read of your 9918. But as I said I dont want to be a retirement village for the class of 09 so players can cruise around and go through the motions getting some superannuation and the fans can get a thrill one day a year with 'send off games' and 'tributes'. Screw that. ...

This x10000000000000. The equation is simple, is trading Dal Santo for pick whatever going to make us more likely to win our next premiership. If yes, trade. If no, don't.

Re: trade rumours
Agree re Rhys, he is a second ruck/forward. Would not entertain the idea of Currie unless it was as a rookie spot after getting delisted by North... But in no way is he a sweatener to any deal with North involving Dal... If McEvoy is moved on (which Im dead against as a big fan of his), at least tha...

Re: Dustin Martin
We weren't really into 22 year olds last time around. He kicked a lot of goals in his second season, true. But he is still kicking a goal a game, gets it 24.4 times a match and has 8 contested possessions a game. I think he has worked out where to run, like you said. Very good player. Im not sure th...

Re: Dustin Martin
Im not sure that is true. This season has been his best by a street, but every season since his first he has kicked more goals (than his first), had more possessions by a fair way etc. It also concerns me that his best season was his first season. ( four seasons ago ). From all the other stuff you h...

Re: Where is Milney?
He is 33 not 23, you could make a very decent argument for him retiring regardless... He's probably been forced out which is the right call given the charges I say you are very close to 100% right. If after his day in court he is proven innocent and has had to retire prematurely a lot of people will...

Re: Tom Ledger
Mick Still is a ripping kid, Essedon's treatment of him was an eye opener. I'm really not that fussed about picks 55 and 73 and I wouldn't see the point of delisting any of Dunell, Maister, Milera or Pierce to use that pick. ( I think 3 of them are contracted anyway ). I'd be hoping that we can do a...

Gilbo going ok. Strange move though.
It make absolutely no sense to upgrade a rookie then not play him. I can not fathom it at all.

Re: Saad b sample positive
The penalty should simply reflect the code. Whether that needs tinkering or not doesn't really affect Saad. He was taking a banned substance on game day, he doesn't deserve compassion in his sentence. Otherwise you'd have a lot more players rolling the dice and claiming it was an "accident"...
