Dunstall is to old i reckon but he would be good if he could get back to full fitness.
Freddy Fittler made a 'come-back' of sorts - jocka could do it.

Spert, I don't think beating Melbourne would prove much, they have been the worst side for about 6 years.

It's all about winning games- doesn't matter who you beat..the more games you win, the more chance of playing finals

I think that GWS game was a disaster for the Saints fans. It has gone from positive to already racking the cue. The Bulldogs game was pretty good for 3 quarters and despite a loss was still up beat. Losing badly to the last place team has probably cost us about 10,000 members and has lowered expectations. I still think we will probably win about 6 games this year and probably finish around 16th to 18th depending on injury and other teams form and injuries. Bulldogs brisbane and GWS could all go either way.

10,000 members?

We have 25 already, were never going too far past 30...

We'll end up with around 28,000 whatever happens.

Vince, Dawes and Cross for starters.
And Byrnes and Clark. Also Jamar and Jones played in finals in 06. And as you say, you wouldn't ignore Tyson, Toumpas, Viney and Hogan just because they haven't played finals yet.

How many Saints had played in finals at the start of 04? Five home-grown: Harvey, Jones, Peckett, Thommo and Maxie. Four imports: Powell, Voss, Gehrig and Hamill. Vaguely similar numbers.
