goosebumps. every time. that goal makes footy worth following for me.
Love it!
Thing about Troy is he wasn't a walk-up start to the team and worked extremely hard on his game (particularly defensively). Took his chances under GT when the team was decimated by injury and bed down his place in the team upon their return.

At the Sorrento pub.
Only couple whispers down here in Sorrento that he might have left the club. Nothing big though, but given fact he was applying for AFL part time roles it might have some credit to it.

Shallower than shadows on the pavement.
yep.....we have more than a few see you next tuesday supporters...they are the ones who have to have a special player to bag..makes "em feel better about themselves......the subjects of their derision are many......tim elliott, ts40, raph clark....the list goes on and grows bigger into each new season.......
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
Great athlete, great clubman...but very limited player. So let's not reinvent history shall we.
I thought he was under-rated actually. Had pace and height and a real passion for his football. But that's just my opinion.
Lyin' did shaft him though though I can't remember for which recycled hack.
As I stated he was a great athlete......great clubman...but not the best at reading the play.
I don't mean any disrespect, but he was a solid GOP.
However TS 40 played 7 + 11 games in each of his last 2 years at the club, and yet it was Lyon who shafted him?
I think he was on the chopping block regardless who was going to coach us in 2007.
GT obviously thought something of him. Was it Doc Clarke we shafted him for?
We needs a ruck and what we had at that stage wasn't capable of even coming close to matching it with the better teams.
Yes Clarke did not pay off however Lyon addressed a need that we had.
From memory TS40's manager instructed him to either reject or wait for a better offer from the football club however it never came and TS40 was of the belief/understanding that other clubs would pick him up anyway?
A poor situation for all however that's life, that's Hinch.
TS was booed at the 2004 Wizzy Cup by our own supporters. Sitting at the game with my Bulldogs supporting bro-in-law listening to that was one of the most embarrassing times I have ever had as a Sainst supporter.
I think thats why I get so defensive towards our scapegoats like Raph. I really detest gutless supporters who do things like boo a player who has just help us win a very rare cup of any kind
As for Lyon supposedly "shafting" TS. Umm ALL coaches "shaft" players. Watters will "shaft" players. A bit revisionist to have a go at Lyon when he was doing the job he was paid to to, i.e. get us to a GF so we can have a shot at a flag.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
