The club looses a grand final only to have one of their key players walk out because he over rates his own worth. (J. Shannahan and J Smith for that matter.)
I hope Ross knows what he's doing because I can't do 98 again. Loosing guys like Ball Maguire and X clarke might be destablising the list.
We got some good ins but its all an unknown quantity. I have faith but I wont be counting my chicken until they hatch next season.
What do you think the changes will bring to the club and do you think we may be stuffing around with a pretty good list?
I think Voss has made way too many changes at Brisbane and could have a fall away season.
Hope it isn't an omen.

Joel Smith had a knee reco and was offered a three year contract by Hawthorn. He didn't overrate himself and played good footy.gringo wrote:The club looses a grand final only to have one of their key players walk out because he over rates his own worth. (J. Shannahan and J Smith for that matter.)
Shanahan was the scapegoat for '97.
Lance or James??

Re: Hope it isn't an omen.
I know those 2 are fan favorites and such but they played a combined total of 0 games for us in our best H&A season ever so losing them can't be that bad.gringo wrote:The club looses a grand final only to have one of their key players walk out because he over rates his own worth.

Fact is we have lost Ball and 2 players that haven't done anything in a while and gained Lovett and a few players that could be worth the risk.

Shanahan was the scapegoat for '97.
Shanahan had told the whole world he was going into the Pre-Season Draft and bound for Melbourne.
And that before he even played in the losing Grand Final team.
And he made his reasons clear too, he wanted more money.

2. Luke Ball dead groin and now dead beat.
5. Xavier Clarke dead legs
21. Matt Maguire dead leg

Re: Hope it isn't an omen.
If you are going to make up stories at least get them close. Shanahan was dumped by us so he went into the draft. Maybe he was forced to do it by the AFL.ace wrote:joffaboy wrote:Joel Smith had a knee reco and was offered a three year contract by Hawthorn.

One thing I've learned about omens is that they are non-existent.gringo wrote:The club looses a grand final only to have one of their key players walk out because he over rates his own worth. (J. Shannahan and J Smith for that matter.)

I think Voss has made way too many changes at Brisbane and could have a fall away season.
Having lost our last three preliminary finals to eventual premiers, I reckon that would have been a pretty good omen for victory once we had finally earned our grand final spot. Didn't end up happening.
No team had lost the grand final after winning their first 19 home & away matches, another good omen for premiership glory. Obviously didn't mean squat on the day.
Never draw to previous history, statistics or omens as your source of confidence, as our club should know more than any that it doesn't mean squat. It's the men who take the field who control their destiny.
