I agree, he's saying Ro$$ has now failed at Freo.skeptic wrote:I really don't think that's the case... As has been pointed out, he was never a dominant player and as you said 17 other clubs overlooked him too.Con Gorozidis wrote:skeptic wrote:I wonder why he was so pissed at RL?
One certainly can't argue he wasn't given a go
He seems to be under the absurd impression he could have played on, got to 200 games and won a Brownlow.
I assume he nominated for the draft & rookie draft and the other 17 clubs also didn't draft him. Why not be pissed off with them as well?
What's the karma he's referring too?
I think he's actually pissed off about RL's dog act way of leaving
He's only human.
Most of us, not just here in this forum, but the world over, take pleasure in the misfortune of others.
It's called "Schadenfreude".
Eddy might be a bit nasty, seeing as how Ro$$ gave him a huge go where another coach might have left him in the ressies forever; but he was cut from the list, and may feel aggrieved at being labelled as one reason why we lost.
People would never let him forget " hey, you were cut straight after!"
That's gotta hurt.
Can't blame him, myself.

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
That's a ridiculous comment Con.Con Gorozidis wrote:One thing I have never understood is why Saints fans/forums seem to pretend 2010 GF2 never happened.
This was an actual GF with an actual flag on the line and we totally sucked. We cant pretend it didn't happen. You cant sweep it under the carpet.
The common belief/excuse seems to be 'oh we were tired'. The reality is Lyon was completely out coached. Whatever happened in those 7 days mentally and physically was an abject failure.
Matlhouse was no genius and I still dont think Collingwood were actually that good. They had a few hacks in that side. But Malthouse completely out coached Lyon. It is an inescapable fact. I think it is a bit of a myth that Collingwood were a great side. They had guys like Toovey, Reid, Wellingham, Macaffer, Blair, Dawes. Hardly Don Bradman's Invincibles were they.
The pies that year, especially in the 2nd half of the year were unbeatable. They had an average winning margain of 6 goals, and no-one came close to them. They were up by 80 points at one stage in the prelim final against the cats until they took the foot right off the pedal. That year they were invincible. Just like certain players win Brownlows and fade into obscurity, this was a team that was as good as any team that won a flag that decade. I was staggered we managed to get as close as we did in the 1st GF. It was coaching genius as far as I was concerned. the 2nd week showed the talents of the two teams more accurately. If you recall our team wasn't exactly laden with superstars either. Eddy, McQualter, Peake, to name but a few. All those pies players you named as duds are at least still playing AFL 6 years on - that in itself says something about the quality of their team compared to ours. Our duds didn't retire - they were delisted.

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
I'd also add Goldsack to that mix. Agreed, they certainly had there GOPs, some of which were very overrated by the Pies faithful. I still remember some of my Pie supporting mates telling me that Dawes will one day be as good as Daniel Bradshaw and that Wellingham was on track to become an elite winger. They were ordinary players who played in an elite team. Although, West Coast certainly agreed with Wellingham's hype, still have no idea how he became worth a 1st round pick.Con Gorozidis wrote:One thing I have never understood is why Saints fans/forums seem to pretend 2010 GF2 never happened.

But, to compare the Pie's GOPs with ours is an apples and oranges argument. The likes of Dawes & Wellingham are still on an AFL list, Blair & Toovey still play for the Pies and I think Reid is better than a GOP. To compare them to likes of Peake, McQualter, Eddy and Jones, non of which are on any AFL lists and I know who'd I'd rather take into a grand final.
Also, the Pies still had a very elite core - Swan, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Beams, Jolly, Ball, Davis, Cloke, O'Brian, Diasy & Shaw, whereas we had Hayes, Goddard, Roo, Fisher, Milne, Dal & Joey. There's your difference right there!

As for the Grand Final Replay I discount that game as you don't plan for a stupid replay. It's just luck which team can get up that sort of stupidity that they've finally got rid of

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
I don't know why Eddy is giving it to Lyon. If it weren't for Lyon, I doubt he would have played a single AFL game, let alone a Grand Final (Was he in the 2009 GF team?).
Every Coach has a pet that has you scratching your head, GT's was Mark McGough and Lyon's was Robert Eddy.
In the 2 2010 GFs we effectively played a man short, Eddy hardly touched it in both games. I still wonder with frustration, how McQualter & Eddy were given games ahead of Armitage & Steven?
He should consider acting with a bit more class & humility.

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
And if weren't for a spate of soft tissue injuries, the 2005 Saints would have smashed the 2005 Eagles & Swans to pieces, in fact any comer would have been smashed to pieces. We all know that 2009 & 2010 were lost opportunities, but so was 2005, in my view more a lost opportunity than 2010.stevie wrote:Pies 2010 would've beaten 05 Swans and 06 Eagles - historically considered among the 'weakest' ever premiers in any given season - but that's about it

05 Swans fair enough, although I think Roos still had a tatical edge over GT, but the 05 Eagles, do you really think we were able to match a centre boasting Judd, Cousins, Kerr & Cox? Arguably the best midfield in the modern era!

On 05
Yes, a giant midfield
But we batted deep.... 3 AA midfielders that year (Ball, Hayes, Dal Santo) and Harvey, Powell, Baker, Thompson
Cox an issue
But for them
Who takes Riewoldt, Gehrig, Hamill. Kosi, Milne, Guerra

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
Do you remember our form in the latter part of the season? Then with half a team out we rolled Adelaide over there in the first final & sustained more injuries. We had a handy midfield as well: Harvey, Hayes, Dal Santo, Goddard, Montagna, Luke Ball and Andrew Thompson. Sure we didn't have a typical good monster ruckman, but remember Kosi's form at the time (until his hammy went Rd 21)? Never, or perhaps in the Lockett era have I seen a player dominate a span of games as he did. He was never the same again, but I witnessed most of those games and the big Kosi was something to behold. Believe me, Cox would never have coped. He'd dominate the ruck particularly around the ground, then sneak forward and kick a lazy 4 or 5.SydneySainter wrote:Why were a full-strength 05 Saints certs to smash 05 Eagles.Linton Lodger wrote:And if weren't for a spate of soft tissue injuries, the 2005 Saints would have smashed the 2005 Eagles & Swans to pieces, in fact any comer would have been smashed to pieces.

Oh and there was that forward line of ours: Nick Riewoldt, Fraser Gehrig, Aaron Hamill and Stephen Milne. Like the West Coast defence would have known what hit them. Then there was Maxy Hudgdon, Goose Maguire, Sam Fisher, 'Franky' Peckett and Aussie Jones down back. Yeah! West Coast may have got within 10 goals at their very best.
Unfortunately, most of the blokes I mentioned had injuries and went down like flies in the last games of the season and the first final.

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
They were playing terrific footy. No doubt about that. I am just saying they werent 22 stars. Some credit must go to MM for the way he had them playing over that 2 years period 2010-11. I never used or would use the word 'dud'. They werent bad players. Just not stars.

Re: Former Saints player Robert Eddy goes nuts on Twitter!!!
I remember that nightmare of a game against Freo in which we lost after the siren, they scored about 6 goals directly from free kicks and we lost Kosi, Goose and Penny during the game when we'd lost Fisher the week before. Goddard ended up at FB against Pavlich.Linton Lodger wrote:Unfortunately, most of the blokes I mentioned had injuries and went down like flies in the last games of the season and the first final.
The following were injured for the '05 prelim
Hamill
Koschitzke
Penny
X.Clarke
S.Fisher
L.Fisher
Peckett
Replace the likes of Raph Clarke, Fiora, Guerra, Ackland and a teenage James Gwilt with those guys and we'd have our second flag. Unfortunately we just didn't invest enough resources into strength and conditioning and injury management in the GT era. Imagine if we put the same emphasis on it back then as we do now and we waltzed into the 2005 prelim with a 22 like this
B: Hudghton, Penny, Voss

First Freo game I've seen this year...Con Gorozidis wrote:Super coach is 0-9.
5 goals to 3/4 time. After getting 30 odd points down, they had a 10min patch in the third where they attacked freely and kicked 3 out of four goals and looked like they had a chance.
Then Dawson failed to spoil and gave away a 50m from a cheap shot.
