I'm not sure that LB would have to sit out of football entirely if he ended up at the GC next season. They will be fielding a VFL team in 2010 and perhaps Luke could lead that group. With the talent they have aready assembled at GC, he might be playing in a more successful team than Melbourne or Ri...

plugger66 wrote:Why would he stand out of footy for the year.

He wouldn't.

By the start of 2010, most people would have forgotten who Ball is, let alone if he's any good.

As a 25 year old, who's just had a pretty poor season. Also had 2 clubs not even think about offering more then a 2nd round draft pick, in a year where the draft is weak....

Doubt he'd really want to move to a team where he won't play at all next year...

Sneak peak announced tonight at 6pm (everything bar the top-10)... and so far it has a few Saints in it, including one very big (and positive surprise!) 49: Clinton Jones :D 34: Sam Fisher 16: Brendon Goddard 14: Leigh Montagna Which leaves three very big names: DalSanto, Hayes and Riewoldt... Who ...

Feel proud. Can't faul any of the players, not one of them. Every single person died for St Kilda, everybody was sensational.'

Sadly, it doesn't help the heart break.

Time heals all wounds.

They lost by 7 points and the free was ridiculous. Im pretty sure most of us wouldnt be in a great mood. the only ridicilous thing about the free was that a supposed AA fullback would do a stupid thing AFTER being warned by an umpire that a free would be paid..........why would you do it? Because h...

Did anyone see his stomach when he was in the rooms after the game with his jumper off?

Wow...quite surprised. Not surprising how slow he is.

Win tomorrow a must. I know Essendon were more like Bendigo but Adel are the form team at the moment. They beat Coll round 1 in Melbourne so Saints win , Coll bye bye, Cats win and we face Dogs/Blues/Lions - Fairly comfortable with all 3 of those as the best other teams Dogs aside are all in the ot...

I'm inclined to think Bally is, but not so sure about Max.

Just like Knights, yes! Re Farkin Tarkyn - Must confess I fail to see any attractive feature about Black and White folk, but he along with that turnip Nick Maxwell really rub me up the wrong way. All prim and articulate and schooled and oh-so-earnest in front of the cameras but on the field they bl...

I think he should get off! Different to Zac, he took a player out who wasnt looking who didnt even nearly have the ball. They are all different cases. Symes played out the game. He then played the week after, and he's still playing. Cousins is in doubt for this week? As well as not playing out the ...

I hate to be the pessimist here, but Lyon said it was corky. From what Roo was clutching at, and from how he appeared to be impaired, I'm not sure how it could have been a cork. I mean what's to cork in your knee? Just hope it ain't a posterior, even mild... They said a corky just above the knee......

Difference being we got slaughtered by the umps against Geelong...

5 scoring shots directly from free-kicks to Geelong, compared to our 0.

see the other threads on this mate http://www.saintsational.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55419 I'm not looking for a discussion on the pro's/con's of increased training, and whether or not is it affecting us. What I want to know is if we are actually doing it, and what extra training actually means?? ...

Reincarnated says that finals and home and away fixtures are two different machines Finals reverts back to basic footy and tall dominating forwards more so than home and away Collingwood have no good talls (yes Reincarnated is aware that they have quality, creative smalls) Therefore Collingwood won...

So far, in 2009, 160 games have been playing.

Only 16 times this year, has a team scored 100 points or more, and lost...

2 of those games were decided after the siren...

Scoring 100 points against anyone will get you close to a win 95% of the time.

Essendon were virtually reduced to 17 players early in the last quarter...

Had more to do with their players being completely spent and losing all run then us playing much better.

thought it'd hurt more, but even as nick was lining up i wondered whether we really deserved the win, and would take more from the loss. just a great game down to the wire, and a great come back. but the bombers deserved the win - looks like they are the only contender for the 8th spot to put their...

nobody should scapegoat him for this. if we were serious about winning, we wouldn't have bummed around for 3 quarters and left it to the last second. Exactly. We were only let into the game thanks to the bombers injuries...we didn't deserve a win. (Though the fact we didn't give up shows how much b...

Moods wrote:THat story refers to defenders who deliberately elbow fwds in the back miles off the ball. It's not so much the frees paid to fwds when the ball is in flight into their area, but the treatment fwds cop 50-100m off the ball to aggravate them.

Their cracking down on dirty play.

I think the priority picks may have been a lottery between teems eligible back then,

In 1995...
Fremantle and West Coast each received one for being new teams...Fitzroy for being crap.

Pick 1 - Fremantle,

Pick 2 - Fitzroy,

Pick 3 - West Coast,

End of priority round.

Pick 4 - Fitzroy

Fremantle had pick 1 (Due to coming into the comp) -
Sydney had pick 2 (Priority Round) and Pick 3 for finishing 16th.
