He was beating West Coast by himself that night (holding the likes of Cousins and Kerr), and when he did his knee the game turned.
Mountains of talent we could have continued to prosper from (in tagging and shut down roles especially).
Shame Saints... Shame.
True...
He was never a huge possession getter, but did well shutting down players
it was one game...thats it...yes he had a good day...but it was one game out of 15-18 he actually played for us
Yes... Meaning he didn't have the opportunity to show what he really had to offer... And he showed us he could shut down the best midfield in the league... Love how some people put a tag on someone so quickly...
Where are all the Raph knockers? Proven wrong and hiding again?

He had almost an entire season to show something other than tagging out a few players in one game...
raph knockers are still here...oh wait they aren't now he won the most improved player...what a joke
If this is the case I am very very disappointed, I would much rather have him on the list than many other players...
As for comparing Raph to Attard, they probably still have the same percentage of decent games even after Raph's awesome month, and Raph's worse was a whole lot worse....
Here's to hoping we redraft him in some form, he is still young and has the potential...
NOTE: Perhaps his knee hasn't recovered as hoped and it could stop him from being the player he could have been I apologise to the club, they would have done what they have to do...
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!
Sign of a good tagger is one that gets his own ball
We are no good and play ugly footy if that is all we are trying to do
the best tagger in the league is Ling- he shuts his players down all while getting 20 touches himself
Brady rawlings is also good at this
Attard might shut down a player but unless he is getting 15 possessions himself it is a waste of a game
St Fid- i know you know your footy, you were saying he had to change his own game for the good of the team... if he was placed in a pecking order and for him to get a game he had to do it then he wasnt good enough playing his own game
His game IMO is a tagger, that doesnt get enough of the ball..... If we have to play him, i think we have gone backwards....

Attard sacrificed his own game for the good of the team every time he put the Saints jumper on...
Didn't you realise that was his role??
I've heard of ignorance before, but your comments take the cake
Yes, with you living in Queensland and watching games on television, I guess you never noticed that
no never noticed when i went to games either...
oh no i didnt realize he was a tagger despite me alluding to it in previous posts...nope...didnt realize it...sorry

Lovett is no hack. Mental midget maybe, but on his day, he tears it up with the best of them.
Not surprised to see Attard delisted. GOP at best in my opinion.
Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.

Again, He played 20 matches in 2007 and was obviously performing his role given to him by the coach...
To state...

is showing your ignorance IMO

I don't think players should be cut in circumstances such as this but it's the AFL's list rules as much as anything that make it so difficult for clubs in these cirsumstances.
