Top 12 are pretty obvious at most clubs. It was only a struggle with Geelong really. You realise just how even their list is, and how much quality there is in their best 22. It's no wonder their turn came. I could have put 15 into 12 easily. Surprisingly, it didn't take as long as I thought it would...

2007 and Inuries - Saints good to finish 9th
If you look at the injury stats for most clubs in 2007, you can see why some finished near the top. The most fortunate was Hawthorn, who had 13 players who played every game, or just missed one game. Another 3 players missed just two games. North Melbourne had 10 players who played every game, and a...

Nathan Buckley by a country mile. Simply Mark Browning in a Collingwood jumper, that's all. But that's what you get for playing for Collingwood. To even be compared with the true greats of the game is just laughable. I could name 100 better footballers. Matthew Lloyd. The 'Robbie the Robot' of the A...

You only need three or four speedsters in the team to break the lines. Look at Geelong. Their midield has Bartel, Corey, Ling and co. who have never been seen as super-quick. They are no quicker than the Saints, and they had a super season in 2007 True, you need some speed in your team, but just how...

Riewoldt had some cartilege problems when he started at St Kilda. Could it be that this has flared again? The Herald Sun reported last week that he had knee tendonitis, which as I mentioned in a previous post, is a bugger of a complaint - very painful, and reduces a player's ability to do a lot of r...

My wish list: Armitage to show something, and run out the game. Geary to show why he was elevated to the main list Gardiner and King to get though unscathed and have sufficient game time Howard to play, and use his superior pace to advantage Allen and Steven to play, just so we can get a look at them.

My understanding is that Riewoldt's knee soreness has been brewing since mid January. The positive is that it didn't flare up two weeks from the start of the season proper. We know he had a solid base up until January, so some rest now might see it settle down a little bit without adversely effectin...

Knee tendonitis is a bugger of a complaint - very painful, hard to shake off, and can really restrict the ability to do a lot of running during a game. We may be seeing Riewoldt playing out of the goal square a bit this year with Koschitske pushing up the ground. Riewoldt will have to be managed ver...

If the Kangaroos don't want the deal, then I'd take it.

No one here knows what the financial gains may be. They could be huge, and if that's the case, the club should go for it. We have only made a profit in recent years due to internal cost cutting, all this occurring during a successul period. The board has every right to investigate the option and cho...

Leigh Fisher was in our top three players up until round 14 this year. He's no speedster, but he's an honest hard worker who you know will give 100% in every single contest. Birss is wishy-washy and would need to improve about 20% to become a regular in our team. Not all players need to be superstar...
