hutchy has been plugged across the baseline.

It was an impressive debut considering how nervous he was...

i don't thin there was any obvious tension, it's just the culture of the show that they egg each other on and push for clarification and explanation, and ridicule to get "the tough answers"

show is a joke i rate sleep more highly over screening on a network that is less and less relevent with the passing of each and every consecutive season.

In my opinion Hutchy is a carp journalist. The worst kind of tabloid gutter snipe.

No that that's off my chest - GT did quite well. The comment I found most interesting was in the conversation about Cousins coming to St Kilda. GT made the comment that the Saints have had a long history of the proclaiming the individual. Something that has been discussed on here many times. He also commented on the culture being still a work in progress (my words not his).

I think this has hit the nail on the head. Saints have as much raw talent as most teams - at least within some acceptable tolerance. The difference is how we approach winning and losing. That's what we need to build and that takes time. If we win a flag in the next 3 years that would an amazing effort - I think it's more likely to be 3+ years given how deeply ingrained the culture is at the club. The current group of players are doing all they can I'm sure, but it takes more than cattle....and right now I dont think we have all the ingredients.

Having said that - anything can happen, and things can change quickly. I still go into 2009 full of hope and optimism.

and that is a perfectly reasonable opinion fingers.
i reckon the club itself is in the best position it has been in for forty years.

Yep they cannot stop laughing at a show that has gone for 15 years and still easily wins the ratings.

So the footy show which easily won it ratings helped 7 win the ratings for the year. I have one question for you, have you got any idea at all.

Did i say that. I dont think so. What I said is do you have any idea and based on your posts you dont need to answer that.

I reckon our culture is more advanced than most give us credit for.

When was the last time we had a real off field incident from a current player?

Board is stable, as is coaching panel.

Barring Max, we now have entirely new generation coming through.

Someone mentioned this new era once HArvey rtired and was shot down immediately. How prophetic.

The addition of players with GF experience is also important... and if the boys can take ownership of their future 100% as Geelong have done, then look out.

This is RL's biggest test... if he can help form that bond.

I don't disagree with you. I think our culture is far more advanced as you say. I just don't think it's quite where we need it to be. I love the fact that we haven't had any off field problems recently (Milney, Joey, G-train allegedly). We keep our nose quite clean.

I think the chance to build upon Harvey leaving rather than seeing it as only a hole is a big one.

I like the fact that we are stable off field and in our coach.

I'm not sure that you can say we have a new generation coming through - are Roo, Dal, BJ, Milne, Kosi new generation? Maybe. maybe not. I'm not sure.

I do think that we are missing the one thing that galvanises a team and makes them bloody-minded about achieving success. I think Geelong have it. I think Hawthorn have it. And I think this is one of the things that culture gets built around. Not the only thing. We tick a lot of the boxes. I'm not sure we have enough ticked at the moment to go all the way.

I actually thought it was about grant thomas on Footy Classified.

Really the feigned agression on that show is laughable. I watched to see if Gt and Caro would have a go, but unfortunately they sorted that out and their routines prior to the show.

His comments on not getting Cousins was interesting and plausible.

His comments of "training services" was bizarre considering his stubborness probably cost the club a flag due to his mismanagement of this vital issue.

Not suprised he supported Vlad Dimwit. these Alpha male, dominate ape, types sticktogether even when they have disagreements amongst themselves.

Once again confirmed that he would never coach again - even joked about knocking back Beaumaurice (sic?) juniors who he reckons were the only caller.

All in all not a bad start from GT. Always found his commnets interesting and he was the best of the four last night.

Loyal - WTF are you on about?

It's a reasonable suggestion that Channel 9s 'The Footy Show' is a big free ad for Channel 7's coverage of the game itself.

Obviously wanting a big reaction, however, Grant turned it around and said it was a very good decision - one that needed to be done, as the club has lacked stability over the years.

he's too smart for those wankers...and i'm including caro in that definition....although the image it creates doesn't bear thinking about.......
