You would think so. Swearing, shouting, making vieled threats.

Mabye the mods are awaiting advice from the club before acting :wink: :D :D
both seem to be over stepping the mark now.

it was suggested kosi for o'keefe AND a draft pick wasn't it. not the other way round and us giving a draft pick. gotta read posts more carefully.

the last time i saw arguing like this was the prelim against hawks when fights nearly broke out, had a full bottle of water come flying and hit my leg when i went down the aisle to support a fellow saint, haha. but fighting amongst ourselves is something different.
Yes I have retaliated from the original abuse and I believe it is within my rights to do so .... again that is MY OPINION..

To call me...
What makes You such a Farking expert?
You know F*** all!
Just coz you have over 7 thousand posts doesn't make you an expert!
You've obviously posted so many times because you ave an extremely HIGH opinion of yourself as a FOOTY EXPERT! You've probably never played a game in your life but seem to know alot about it!!!
DUMB F**KING C**T!!!
And I responded what he deserved IMO...

Just when did this poster suggested Leigh Fisher in his comments in this thread is just puzzling :roll:

Ok kiddies... settle down. :lol:

WE give Kosi... THEY give us ROK and their 2nd round pick.

NOW... if you two don't stop arguing... I'll throw in Dal Santo for good measure and teach you both a lesson.


The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

St Kilda, which is likewise keen to inject more speed into its side, is not pursuing Lovett.

The Bombers had expressed interest in Saint Nick Dal Santo's situation, but were repeatedly told by the Saints that Dal Santo — or Justin Koschitzke — was not on the trade table.

St Kilda is believed to have a mild interest in O'Keefe, but the club has reiterated that Nick Dal Santo and Justin Koschitzke are not up for trade and is thus unclear how the Saints would satisfy Sydney in a trade.

I just heard on SEN that O'Keefe has put a $600 000 a year price on his head to come back to a Melbourne club.
I guess that's the end of this option for us.

Good luck to them IMO....

someone tell me if a player is worth $500 thousand a year and averages just 1 goal a game and at the age of 28 next year is good value....

I am glad we seem not interested ...

Good player in is day but, IMO on the slide and not worth the big $ asked of him...

OH...

by the way, it's just my opinion :roll:

Surley carlton must think they are a chance of winning a flag in next 4 years or they wouldnt waste their time?

why be competitive and waste money on a player that wont bring them a flag and then he will retire and they will have to fill his spot

i would love him if he was 25- but not 28

unless he takes 200k a year and only a 3rd round pick

Paul Roos said he wants first round pick for him also- too expensive

I agree mate...

O'Keefe is a great player IMO but I do feel he is on the down side of his best.....

Maybe a year in him IMO at his best but for $500 thousand a year not worth it

Do you guys realise that ROK has been, statistically, in the top five players at Sydney for the past five years, and he's only played nine years.

Since he broke through the 16 game per year barrier when he played 24 in 2004, he has then played 26, 25, 23, and 23 games in the years since.

Very resilient.

This year was his second best year by stats, behind 2006.

His highest goalkicking year was 2004 with 33, this year he got 23. Certainly doing his job.

He is only 21 months older than our very own Roo (yet he is being written off as an APIA client), has a Premiership medallion round his neck, AA selection and nominations.

Whether we go at him or not, he is a very high quality player who by all reports, wants to return to Vic to see out his career.

Would love to see him at the Saints for the next five years.

He won't be coming to the Saints and I reckon he'll stay at The Swans

O'Keefe is a great player, of that I have no doubt. Is definitely worth a late first-round selection (i.e. ours), as he is a proven player, who still has at least 3 good years of footy left in him. This year, he found himself playing slightly up the ground and pushing up the ground a bit...Very handy player, and would add a lot to the side as a lead-up forward who can rack up 20+ touches a game...


The Saints are coming!

I agree we won't get him.

But allegedly he does want to come back to Vic.

Just can't believe though that some think he's past it and too old.

Will we be thinking Roo is past it and too old June 2010 to sign up for the next 3-5 years? (same age ROK is now) I know different playing styles but both top five at their clubs for a long time now.

ROK is a very very good clever player who is still rating highly, IMO.
