Maybe then karma got us. What was Baker compared to Ballantyne or and Jones to Crowley?
Agree.

Exactly the same.


But there is nothing wrong with disliking a team for certain players or an ex-coach.

Some people with 50k posts on an interwebs forum will tell you that's lame and that they're bigger than that. :lol: :lol:

They've got at least two more years of being at the top of the ladder , if things go there way they could be multiple premiership players !

Or they could be playing for a coach who has lot 5 or 6 Grand Finals in his coaching career, and never won one.. :lol: :lol:


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

They will be up the top but getting into a GF is a massive achievement. They had a very good run with injury and a super soft draw especially late in the year. Geelong showed that you can come close but not get up the last step. They probably really only have guys like Pav and Sandi for next year. Crowley and Johnson must be getting on too.

We are talking about Freo. i have no idea who you are talking about when saying they had a good run with injury. Maybe you can tell me.

General consensus is the also got a good draw. Let's see if it changes in 2014.

they had Sandilands missing a lot of the year and Johnson and Mc Pharlin were out at times but they are a very deep list because of the past injuries they have had. The game plan they have can cover a missing player here and there. But Hawks had three first choice defenders missing during the finals and still managed. you said our injuries in the back line were no excuse for our poor season so which is it? All teams have injuries and they had a very good list available come finals time.

I have no idea what you are talking about. yes i said our injuries wouldnt have made much difference to our side. You said Freo had a good run with injuries but they clearly didnt as you pointed out. Maybe you also forgot a guy called Pavlich. If your statement had said they had a full team on GF day I would have agreed with you but you didnt say that.

Milne? Baker? You make no seance, ever.

Who is the last one dimensional small forward to positively impact a grand final?
Given Ballantyne's performance yesterday and Milne's and Leon Davis' over the years would it be wrong to suggest you play an extra mid and no small forward in GF's?

I sort agree but how could you do it? say a player kicks 4 in the prelim there is no way you could drop him for the GF. It wouldnt be great for morale I reckon. Obviously if they have struggled previously then it could be easier.

Was playing a final in Geelong part of the soft draw?

Thy played us twice and it didn't do them much good.

Bad luck, Ross.
He is worse than a 'poor man's version of Milne'

He does not kick enough goals and/or does not do enough up the ground to actually rate him highly.

Oh and he made Milne's game in the 2009 GF look amazing.

Thanks you little bitchtits

My funny Ballantyne
Sweet comic Ballantyne
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Ballantyne stay
Each day is Ballantyne's day


*Allegedly.

Bring back Lucky Burgers, and nobody gets hurt.

You can't un-fry things.

A more annoying but no more effective version of 2009 McQualter.
