The turn around in the Saints just goes to show.............

[Depressed]

that if we had kept Thomas we probably would have won a flag by now. I can't prove this of course but I am starting to think this might be true. I guess if we win it this year it won't matter.

Thoughts?

Be careful mate, this could be considered baiting...

If we'd move to Seaford earlier we'd have two.

Three if we'd gone to the Junction Oval.



Surely - this is impossible to resolve? The facts are
1) we didn't keep him and
2) we don't have a flag.

anything else, we can wave our hands around and be none the wiser.

And I agree - if we win this year it doesn't matter - live in the now!

Could be??

Why do you think that way? I'm just reflecting on what could have been. As I said, if we win it this year it will be Grant Thomas.....who?????

Take a look at some of the RL vs GT arguements that have happend over the last 2 years....then you'll see...this has been done-to-death

Interesting comment there saintlee.

Hmmm, what it tells me is that we would have likely been 1-2

- Milne would have been gone

- Kosi and Blake would have been rucking

- we would have struggled to turn it around against the Swans Rd 1

- we would have struggled to beat a defensive Crows unit as GT's teams always struggled against the flooding teams

[Joffa 5]

Two things for sure if the egotistical one was still around, we wouldn't have this ruck combination and the rookie list would be a lot shorter.

It's only a truncated and less 'sophisticated' equivalent of the fox report I guess...

[saintbob]

And if Spider didn't get injured in '97 we would have won a flag!!

Surely we can't keep living in the past GT's gone and Spider got injured end of story!!

Ross is here and now, so lets just hope he gets the job done..

I think this guy is depressed like his name! first he wants to rest players and now commenting on this?? you have no idea mate. follow a different sport

[python]

lets forget about thomas, we didnt win a flag under his reign, and the hypothetical scenario means we would have had to beaten a team which lost twice last year, and once in 18 games or whatever it was in 07 (using geelong as the standout in both cases)... I cant believe the team was that much better under thomas...

Lyon 09 is fully alive, and thats all i care about right now, we should stop being so concerned with the would haves, could haves, and should haves, instead look at what we are going to do

This thread isn't going anywhere and leaving it here will only invite more petty squabbling...
