Not too many of our draft picks from the last two drafts are playing regularly. Had some injuries. The best you could rate this - assuming we have picked up players with the potential to play senior footy - would be FAIR. How would you rate our draft picks then from the 2 drafts before that. Rememb...

GT has said himself that we modelled our game on that of the successful Brisbane sides of 2001-2003 yet Roger says

It's a myth that we copied Brisbane.

Amazing

Nobody on here seemed to mention that GT on SEN monday morning revealed that he used.....wait for it...... Robert Walls as his mentor early on in his coaching career. Apparently he didn't flick him because he was no good, but because Throbbie was also "mentoring" other AFL coaches. I foun...

Raph on Medhurst

God i hope this match up doesn't eventuate, otherwise i can see another Medhurst like Anzac day performance coming up

Thank you Boppa. Would the record now please show the half @ssed Dodgerfox for what he is? A fool of highest, attention seeking tw@t who contradicts himself EVERY post and attempts to portray himself as "insightful" You look ridiculous Dodg.......take a bex and have a lie down....... :lol...

We needed to hold firm on 2007, as with our list, it was the last year before we needed to mini-rebuild . I never called for a rebuild. Same poster :oops: :oops: :oops: Thanks for your input dick h**d. I never 'called' for a rebuild. I stated that a mini-rebuild was imminent post 2006. I didn't 'ca...

Exactly the way it should be

exactly sRr. He did sfa to develop and nurture young talent through the club. Absolute garbage. You can make lots of fair criticisms of GT but not this one. Under GT's guidance, Milne, Riewoldt, Kosi, Ball, Dal, Joey, Fish, Chips, X, Goose, BJ, Gilbert and Gram all devloped into regular first team ...

If u have some spare cabbage, put it on the saints first thing, WE R A SPECIAL!!!!! Cause StoneCold said so!!!!! Don't say I didn't tell ya!!!!! I'm sure they will all remind you when they all lose cash from your made up mail :roll: :roll: :roll: You were on the money mate, alot on here get excited...

Yeah Fanta Pants has silenced players that are superior to Dal, that's for sure. To Dal's credit, he did put his body in and busted his butt - that's what you have to do when faced with a difficult opponent who is both tagging and running off you.... No problems with a guy getting beaten by a tagge...

I watched Dal very closely today, and frankly I was disgusted with his laziness around the ground. He does not break past a jog unless the ball is within 10m of him and makes no effort to stop his opponent. When he did get near the footy today he played for free kicks if he felt any contact. I am a...

The problem with Dal is that he is lazy & doesn't work hard enough when he hasn't got the ball. Young Hill destroyed him last night & Dal didn't have the guts to sacrifice his own attacking game to stop an opponent who was inspiring the opposition. Great post, Dal Santo is extremely lazy wh...

IMO Gilbo is a better footballer than Raph, but Raph needs to be given an extended run to find out whether's he is any good ... and he was passable on Saturday. Why does he need to be given an extended run? He is not performing, and as pointed out already his decision making is atrocious. You have ...

I cant understand why so many on here are so keen for L.Fisher to be one of the guys dropped for this week. He had a massive job on Goodes and absolutely destroyed a guy who is probably Sydney's most dangerous player. Fish must be kept in and given the job on any one of Judd, Stevens or Murphy. He c...

Suprised that Cotchin hasnt figured in any of those top 10 results but is expected to go top 3 in the draft..

Cotchin was injured (sprained or broken foot i think) in the prelim of the u/18s so more than likely didn't do anything at draft camp

Daniel Rich (Wing/RR)

I dont think Rich can be taken this year, i'm pretty sure he is too young. Looking like a definite top 10 next season though

Hawks thanks

Geelong please

39 thanks

At the end of the day, what did that great percentage do for us. Yeah that's right 8th place, WHOOO HOOO, brilliant

Exactly, 8th place not a great achievement i dont think.
