" Congratulations on your career. Shame you had to play for a s*** team and a s*** club"

All I get is the ad for New Zealand playing over and over telling me I'll be forever young. As if I didn't know!

Heard that Ball's looking good to play.

I wouldn't worry about Guerra. He'll be too busy falling over and lying on top of the ball, his speciality when the finals going gets tough.

Jake Niall was the first journo to jump off us half-way through the season. A big article saying how over-rated and crap we are. This piece made me want to kill him.... the Saints have a 'tawdry glamour' the Bulldogs are 'probably more honourable'. My intense loathing for him stems from the article ...

Thanks Saintbrat...I wouldn't have been able to do that.
I just thought it captured everything about the man.
More run than surrender!

Thought Eddy was good on Sat. night....strong body in the forward line, lovely pass to Dal - just needs to work on his goal kicking accuracy.
He's going to be a gun.

When did Michael Gardiner retire?

It's not a ruck problem. Time and time again the ball went straight to
one of our midfielders who fumbled it or had it robbed from them.
So another body (ie: Blake ) would be good....but then it robs our backline.

Apologies if it's been mentioned but I've gone through as many threads as possible....just making sure everyone saw the magnificent Harvey cartoon on the back of the sports pages of the Age on Saturday. Remarkable. If you didn't and you've got the paper in the recycling - dig it out. It's one for po...

Shane was injured - reports were he would have difficulty getting back to his normal self, Blight delisted him.
Around that time Darryl decided he'd prefer to play at Port Adelaide - part of the Gehrig trade I think, can't totally remember.

Tim Lanes seething hatred for the Saints is becoming more and more obvious and he should be called on it. I've personally contacted Channel 10. Luke Darcy was overrated as a player and is not up to it as a special comments man. Watching the replay my favourite moment was when he started whinging abo...

I've done that for a few years now Dave.
It helps get over a hellish loss a lot faster.

Have you seen the ladder that shows us as the second best performed team in the last half of the year? We'll take it up to them - Dempster is a big loss. No Ball. Rooey a bit proppy I feel. It will be tough to win but I do think we're tough enough to get the ball. Whether we'll have the composure to...

Reasonable assessment based on Geelong's year and our year. One thing not recognised though is our ability to step it up as the game goes on eg North Melbourne, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide games. I think we can match them there. Matching them in the middle is the key and I understand why there are doubt...

Good on you Fish and well done Rhys Palmer - he was a deserving Rising Star winner. I was glad the Footy Show finally decided show some respect to Robert Harvey - they put some effort in, good on them. I think J. Brown protests too much - and the rough as guts country boy routine is starting to grat...

He's been training every week throughout the year.

(But I personally would love to see him out there because I personally love him)

If you wanted to bring a player in to lay a few out Fraser is not the man.
Not in his nature.
Some (not me) might consider he looks like a thug but he is the perfect gentleman.

He's an odd bod for sure Bomber.
Got a bit of a nasty, school boy bully streak.
Think the point he's really making 'we're Geelong but they're just a mish mash, not really St Kilda' which is beyond pathetic.

And the stupid finals system (now dropped) that meant the third placed team (us) went straight out while the eighth placed team stayed in. A debacle.

I think all past players are entitled to enjoy a premiership.
I know Loewe and Burke etc will be celebrating just as hard this year.

At the risk of being burnt at the stake, Harves isn't a great interview subject - at least when asked the usual, expected questions. But when he lets his guard down, as shown at the very end when he was talking about bowling Damien Martyn out, beautiful stuff. That few second snippet told us more ab...

He's got the Frankie Peckett quality to me.
Saw him by the way , in South Yarra a couple of weeks ago.
Peckett that is. Looked well and fit.

V. good point!

Still looked proppy to me...couldn't turn properly during one passage of play in last quarter. I'm a bit concerned.
