Re: Who were our better players cut down due to injury?
Please, this is not a post to in any way to humiliate Harvey but there was a stage in Cripp's career where I thought this bloke is better than him... I remember that we were able to take Harves out of the centre & put Cripper in for no loss. He was a really hard worker like Bob. Tough & pre...

$273,000, of which $167,000 is for holiday pay even though Thomas already signed a stat dec stating that he'd already been paid all of his holiday and annual leave entitlements already Is this not weird? How many muppets can't see this? If it is as simple as that then GT's lawyer has found a cash c...

Repetitive rubbish Why don't you just answer Solar's questions ? It's a forum. Not a soapbox. 1) Was signing hamill to a lower per annum contract at the time (with no injury background and a important leadership position) not a important part of the resigning of all our young stars? 2) Was it Grant...

The most entertaining game I ever went to was round 15 1995 vs Geelong at the MCG. Attacking football, skills, Ablett specky (over Sierra), Harvey late snapped goal, Winmar overhead defensive pack mark to make the game safe. Brilliant game. Would love to have it on DVD...

I also think that the often stated aim to 'keep the group together' has been a security blanket for some players. I have often wondered what trading a player at the end of 2005 might have done in terms of a wake up call that this is a ruthless business. I really expected RL to lay down the law when ...

Problem was, in 1997 he had a free run.. Did very well. After that, every team in the comp realised he couldnt mark overhead and completely shut him down. I seem to remember a stat that approx half of his 89 (?) goals from 1997 were from free kicks. These dried up in 1998. I assume defenders smarte...

The Brooks trade needs to be put into context. We used picks (not the exact ones I don't think - definitely 6) traded for Peter Everitt. This trade not only got rid of the dreadlocked anchor it freed up (reportedly) somewhere between 10-20% of our TPP. That money would have been used to pay future/u...

You cannot be serious about Jason Blake. Rate it as a terrible pick and he has played about 100 games. Dont worry who was picked after him. Did all the guys before play as many as Blakey. I doubt it very much. Not very nice to a loyal Saints player who puts in every week even if he is no star. Just...

I agree about the gameplan. It seemed that in the 2nd half of the season, with key personnel back (and somewhat fit), we were able to find more of a balance between being accountable and attacking. A balance between attacking and defending? Coll 9 point loss Adel 2 point win Haw 17 point win Carl 1...
