He stays in. Is in our best 22 clearly. But he still a bog average AFL player.
How many goals did Betts Kick Con?

thats the trouble after a loss...anger and frustration kicks in and some stupid posts fly around. poster against poster etc.. let's talk about how we think the team can improve.not pointing the finger at players that actually performed to their normal level after being beaten by a better side. This is where we are at, like it or not.

Right now the only player to definitely drop is Wright. Straight swap him for Reiwoldt.
Maybe Joey gets a spell for Dunstan.
Membrey gets one more week, see if he can improve with Roo in the side.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Good call!

With 18 teams in the comp it's becoming almost impossible to recruit the real talent needed to prosper.
You'd think that but the Crows currently sit top without having one top ten draft pick on their list ,you just have to find them.

He kicked one soda from the goal square from an advantage call. One actual goal in the game would indicate Geary did a very good job on him. Betts is an electric player capable of dominating games and kicking bags of goals. Our captain was far better than you give him credit for.

Bookmark it.
We have 1flag in 120 years.
So the odds are HIGHLY stacked in my favour.

I question your blind optimism and judgment. It is delusional.
Spot on Con, especially when the Rose coloured glasses are on the table.
It's not spot on at all.

Declaring that a player has no potential - and using the fact that the Saints have won 1 flag in 120 years as supporting material for the declaration is nowhere near spot on. It's completely irrelevant.

Ling's whiney poofy voice is incredibly annoying :evil:
Worst special comments guy in all of the history of live broadcasting. Does not deserve the gig.

Watching the replay and heard Ling rubbing salt into our wounds timie and time again. In the 2nd quarter he goes; "Saints fans will be having nightmares about number 23 from the '97 GF". During the half time break he brings out a pre-prepared list of starategies and tactics that he thinks predict how the game will be and should have been won and lost by St. Kilda. How about fuhcken watching the game and analysing what's in front of you ...fuhckwit!!

At 3 quarter time he brought up some fuhcken useless stat about the scoreline in the '97 gf being the same as the scoreline in last nights match and then had a little chuckle and claimed it could get ugly in the last quarter just like it did 20 years ago!!

He still hates us. He still knows we were the better team during 2009 but somehow we handed him a premiership medal and choked when it really mattered
