Tommy Walsh?

[saintspremiers]

Just noticed he's really out of favour with Sydney. Not even an emergency.

Do we want him back?

Maybe pick 70 ish??

[Dr Spaceman]

Low kms.

With his strong Gaelic football background and a mature body, I always thought that he had potential, but it seems not. However, Sydney is a top side, which makes it hard to break in to. Watters offered realistic opportunities, but Tommy said that he had a better offer elsewhere. In those circumstance, no thanks, let him stay there.

He may simply not be up to it.

But also, his desire to get to a city with a greater number of fellow Irishman may have in fact worked against his development.

Of course I can't be sure, to be sure.

[thejiggingsaint]

Not a chance that I'd have the prick back Overated at best! Saw him playing with Sandy and could not understand all the hype about him then, even less so now!

[saint66au]

Its beginning to appear we got that trade absolutely right

With the improvement in Stanley and Siposs he'd have been struggling for a game if he'd stayed I think....unless he was thrown into defence

Yep. And I threw in pick 70. He may not even be worth that. From the trading perspective alone it looks a winner for us.

[gringo]

I never understood why we all believed he would be so good. He was an ok player at sandy but never amazing. We just wanted someone to be a bolter so bad we willed it on him.

[bobmurray]

Good riddance, gotta get rid of the cloggers....

Even if it was his choice, he did us a favour....

[dragit]

He's no Tommy Ledger.

[mr six o'clock]

FFS can you'll get over t w !!!

[gringo]

FFS can you'll get over t w !!!

No not really hope his potatoes get blight.

[SainterK]

Who'd we get, Markworth and Dunell or something?

[saintspremiers]

No not really hope his potatoes get blight.

Oh dear. Watch out for JB.

Don't think getting the trade right was ever in doubt

always a clear win in that deal

Right here.

And just think for some internet hero's here Ross lyon was an absolute idiot for not playing him

We all know if we had of played him in the 09 and 10 GF's we would have won both.

Ask skeptic, he will swear its the truth and undeniable fact.

uh huh

why not make up things when you can't win an argument eh JB

have to admit, you've been consistent with your bull$h!t on this one

remarkable how you continue to get on your high horse about a point no one ever made... still, guess it's easier for you then acknowledging that maybe if both the players played better and the coach coached better rather than one or the other we may have done better in 09

[saintspremiers]

But JB we had Robert Eddy. He should've won us a flag surely?

[desertsaint]

I'm just glad yet another dud draft decision (remember the saints line about him being equivalent to a first round pick - to water down critism of the Ball-Lovett fiasco) has actually turned out okay for us. Looks like those of us that watched him at sandy were right - and the hype was just that.

[SaintPav]

Right here.

Answer this Sceptic, how good were the Cats and Pies? I think they were our opposition.

[stkildathunda]

Who'd we get, Markworth and Dunell or something?

Daniel Markworth and Beau Wilkes. For Tommy Lynch we got Jack Newnes

You really are contradicting yourself. On one hand, you say that even if our finishing was better, the outcome would still have been uncertain but you then say other team selections may have have made a difference to the result. Sounds like you are having an ideological dilemma.

You really are stating the obvious with your last point. Of course coaches and players have regrets after a loss. While that is normal, your hubris is nauseating.

[saintsRrising]

Who'd we get, Markworth and Dunell or something?

Daniel Markworth and Beau Wilkes. For Tommy Lynch we got Jack Newnes

We look to being a winner with both deals.

* Newnes from what have seen could well play many games over a number of years. = possible big win for us.

* Beau is only a back-up player....but that was all that Lynch was showing promise to be. If Marworth can develop further rom the promise he has shown that would then tip the balance in our favour on that deal.


On Lyon, IMO he gets a bad wrap for playing "young" talent that our recruiters basically do not have. The first year that Lyon gained some good raw young talent they were played. The good young talent ( Ben, Geary, Steven, Armo all ot games too).

It is not just Watters as to why we are seeing more young talent played. It is that Pelchen and the new recruiters are doing a better job at getting young talent (including the last trade period that Lyon was at the Club).

[matrix]

yep looks like the trade might have been the right thing
ill admit i was absolutely pissed when he went
saw him in a couple of vfl games and he looked good
big strong
went forward and back
quite surprised he aint getting a gig
although sydney are on fire, would be hard to crack the starting 22

joffa should be along to post soon to remind everyone what complete cabbages we were and to carry on about how the forum was in an uproar when he was traded and what complete flogs everyone is while somehow tying in that tw isnt gettiing a game because he has long time ago heritage thats actually asian
