The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

the fact that we traded for a player means we still have to delist or retire at least 3

the fact ross said 6 picks in national draft means there will be 4 delistings
I'm tipping 6 or maybe 7 (if you count rookies)

The article said:
But Lyon said he was happy to make just the one trade and focus on bringing youth to the club.
Amen to that brother.

I'd love to see it too, but correct if I'm wrong, Fiora has a contract therefore cannot be de-listed? Is that right? Or can the club choose to de-list him, pay his contract out and give his spot on the list to another player?

They can do that. But Fiora's contract still counts under the salary cap.

He also said Gilbert. I remember because it reminded me of how Ross said Gilbert was a core player a few months ago.

F*** Cousins, I don't want him...

waste of a possible good rookie, that may have more potential than having a player with potential hamstring injuries with his age and last maybe a season..

I hope he goes somewhere else IMO

and while I'm at it, F*** Gardiner worst decision the Club made in re signing him...

a waste of a draft pick IMO

My opinion plugger66, and that's what this forum is for...

Why do you suggest I give the club a call :roll:

Thank God you're not running the club!
All you do is right NEGATIVE SHITE!
It's great Gardi's re-signed, not a bad back up ruckman, and F*** yes I want Benny! The guy is a dead set gun.
Why don't you write something positive for once instead of just whipping everything that's put up here?
Yeh, everyones got an opinion, but maybe write something constructive every now and then, instead of writing negative CRAP every time you've got something to say!
You're meant to be a SUPPORTER of this club! :?

Did you not read my post of Farren Ray???

OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO STALK ME WHEN I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION??

I am a SUPPORTER OF THIS CLUB...

I just don't bend over with every decision the club makes and welcome it with open arms without looking at other alternatives ...

This is what a forum is all about, to voice your opinions...

HAVE YOU GOT THAT YET!!

If you think that signing Gardiner, who has only played 27 games in 5 years and only two decent games in 2 years is a good thing and the club is moving forward THAT'S YOUR OPINION...

I just have my doubts on that decision and have voiced it here, a FORUM that is not run by the club and is not sanitised by the club...

A forum to voice your OPINION... Gee is that clear enough!!

I made an opinion that I would rather an extra rookie than signing Cousins, I feel that this years draft runs deep and looking to a long term Cousins will not make the difference to us being a better side that both the Hawks or the Cats...

That's my opinion (do you get that)

I am being positive in thinking that a young player IMO is better suited for the long term...

THAT'S POSITIVE!

your quote of..
All you do is right NEGATIVE SHITE!
Again, read the Farren Ray thread (if you are capable of doing so)

Nah, I think he was having a go at St Fid.

And rightly so too. How dare he have an opinion! :wink:

Gards potential best ???

Need him around for safety at least.


Cousins potential best if we snag him? St Kilda's best player in 2009.

I think we can adjust Max's spot on the veteran's list so he takes up a rookie spot (which we get extra ones anyway because of GC), so that's one less name we have to cull. Dunno if there's anyone else who qualifies now

agree with Fid.
MG is dead-wood.
27 games in 5 years?

lets make it 35 games in six and keep him.
just bite the bullet i reckon.

benny boy will be great for the club if he gets himself back on the right track.

Agree with some posters on Ben Cousins.

Lets make it happen saints!
He will help us greatly if we get him on board with the right mindset.
Don't let the scum get him.
