Would we take Sylvia for pick 9?

Thomas didn't have the guts (well, he certainly has guts, but that's more from over-eating) to "exit out" Peckett, Powell and Thommo at the end of 2005 when all should have retired.

How true.

If RL clearly doesn't rate Goose why did he play him about 3 weeks too early in the seniors and persist with him for half a season?

His actions contradict the speculation

Only Saintsational posters rate Matt higher than Matt

Given Kenny's comments from the other day, this is a tad embarassing for KS I believe.

Heard the same thing and that's what he said, just didn't sound that convincing to me though

Would be gutted if Maguire's name even came up...He's just too important. Absolutely. I'm amazed how short people's memories are. Well I am in the short memory class. I would swap pick 9 and either Goose or Montagna for Judd in a heartbeat. Especially given that Ball and Judd could share a doctor a...

No-ones swapping a top 10 pick for Goose surely?

What about pick 9 + 2nd rounder plus Montagna, enough for the Eagles?

Reckon that list is very close to my thoughts also.
Reckon Milney may be a bit high and X Clarke a little low that's about it.
Think your top 4 is spot on also, Hayes pre injury was no. 1 for mine.


Fully agree with the rest of the post also, spot on.

I know I will cop stuff here, but I reckon we overrate Goose. Yes he had a serious injury and needs time, but he wasn't playing his best footy before he got injured either, we remember the 05 version. Maybe he can get back there, but he is hardly the best CHB going round. Fisher will finish top 5 B&...

If its the same QC that lost the case in the first place, what an opinion that would be

Course he is, they play in the gutter together.

Had to laugh when Hutchy said, lets be honest, he doesn't know what the word means......

Fall guy maybe, but he was in charge of the Baker defence, no hiding from that. i didnt realise Kenny was a lawyer :roll: that was a stuff up from all concerned surely any lawyer would advise his client to not incriminate himself on the stand Doesn't have to be a lawyer, he owned the process, he sh...

This Board was exactly that.

Was.

It became about protecting themselves about 12 months ago.

Totally agree on this

I thought Rod's strategy was pretty obvious last week. The names we know are out there because Rod's putting them out there. Simple and the usual tactics when a self interested president is under pressure : - out any challengers before they are ready & get them on the back foot - try and link v...

Buddy's test will come next year, 15 other clubs will study his year, look for weaknesses and give him a little more respect. If he is just as dominant as this year, then hats off he has arrived. Roo has been doing it for four years now, part of being a superstar or champion is longevity. Buddy has...

Don't think Fergus is big and strong enough yet. A couple of years time maybe yes. Yeah, try saying the same thing about Westoff from Port... :? He doesn't seem big and strong enough, yet he his killing them! Maybe... But what position is he playing? The point I'm trying to make is that we need a g...

That's what I've said... And I suggested we chase a real Full Forward like Fevola if he becomes available... But seems as though most people on here are happy to play without a genuine FF and myself and others get blasted for even suggesting his name. Honestly... I'd like to know who some people wo...

Some people on here are overrating Goose a fair bit.
Before he broke his leg last year he was poor and nowhere near the level of the previous year....

As good as he has been for us, he made the right decision, no matter who was coach. His time was up, his body can no longer do the things his mind wants to do.

Sorry that it was so hard for you to follow .......as it was in the first sentence.. Surprising how a few words confuses you so easily. It confused me because we have 'good' ruckmen. And have had 'good' ruckmen in the past. We don't have good ruckmen now I'm afraid and yes we did have them in the p...
