you guys have to be joking me.
if you think blake and peake will keep us competive, help us win games or even more funny be potenial trade bait. well im not sure i need keep arguing against such nonsense.
I could not agree more clarke is another one.I said the same thing to dermy on sen this morning.About smith who has been playing really well for Sandy the last couple of weeks, but only got a few games in the seniors.
And stanley he has been playing well for sandy as well but the dont rate him,they rate blake a better ruck man the stanley.
I carnt see us win the flag with blake clarke peake but i can with the other guys stanley is very versatile and he brings balance to our side either in the ruck or as a forward.
So what else is said at selection committee meetings?
You obviously are privy to the conversations and know all the inside information.
Or are you just another one of the many who view things from the outside adn make categorical statements based on zero actual knowledge.
I'm pretty sure that Smith didn't play at all 2 weeks ago after being dropped/rested? from the seniors?
As for not winning a premiership with Clarke, BLake and Peake you are correct -but only because of an errant bounce and some wayward kicking at goal.
What would you have been posting if the footy had bounced straight or we's slotted a couple of those misses?
It's an absolute nonsense that I keep reading on here - no Club can field an All Australian equivalent team.
The salary cap ensures you must have a number of GOP players in our team.
You (and others) keep bemoaning our bottom 6 as if they were/are an 'infectious disease' on our team when in fact they all played a role in our side over the past 3 years which saw us desperately unlucky to lose 2 premierships. MAybe the game has now passed some of them by, but the disrespect hurled at these players is disgraceful (IMO).
Similarly at the people in charge who have been in charge whilst we had the opportunity to play off for the last 2 premierships.
