What a sad pathetic and uninformed post. What's actually disturbing is that half your changes have been made... In effect 5 delistings being replaced by three new players into the team...
I dont think you're right...he's venting his frustration at the selection committee continually picking the tried and failed....sounds like a reasonable
vent to me...
an un-informed vent :?

Well you are ahead of about 80% of posters here tonight.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I think a lot of Saintsational posters agree with this. I do for one.

My feeling is that the guys on 20 to 50 games are the guys are the next that are expected to progress, that is favorite whipping boys like Eddy and Geary. Armo must have a few issues in his game that need rectifying like Ball had. Lyon doesn't want a grade players at Sandy any more than we do. Stanley and Smith, Lynch and Simpkin are probably next in line along with Winmar and then the class of 2010 Cripps, Crocker, Ledger etc. the next group are hopefuls that may progress, Johnson, Archer, Walsh, Heyne, Andreoli, Siposs and Cahill etc. The fact is any of those guys may come on or drop off, it is inexact. I heard that Richard Tambling may have played his last season of football at Adelaide and that guy was considered an elite talent. Giving them all 50 games wont make every one of them champions or even GOPs. We have to trust that the club wants players that show something to get an opportunity too. Enjoy seeing the few at a time get a chance to prove they are worth persisting with, who knows one may just break out and become a gun.

there is no way on any planet in any universe that eddy or mcqaulter could be considered a better football player than armo in any measurement. so thast probably a point the difference right there in the drawn GF for starters.

and the crap jones has been serving up the last 12 months. its hard to believe smith could have offered any worse.

plus gram and dal were completely an utterly hobbled/injured. so they were only giving us 10% of what they have.

we are still living on 09 form.

You're correct.
Lyon should have gone with all the other assistant coaches becasue he obviously failed to understand that simple point.
Maybe he's now too old to understand the nuances of modern day footy?

The selectors should have gone too.

We need a new 'young' coach and new 'young' selectors so that we can choose an appropriate number of 'young' players to allow us to win and challenge again.
