If you read what Lyon is saying already this sounds very likely.

Time to be fair dinkum about blooding the likes of Lynch, Heyne, Stanley, Smith, Miles, Walsh, Steven and Armitage (if he's still with us).... While Smith & Walsh didn't play, the rest did. Heyne is no good. Lynch "looks " OK, but will need another 30 games to learn where the ball is,...

I doubt any of the above will happen. Lyon is too focused on using the players HE thinks will get the job done I hear you. I feel for your brother he may well go down the same path as Ball and who could blame him. I also agree with the subject post Ross shows blind faith in Eddy/Mini. How many othe...

What a f****** joke. The only kids we have coming through are Stanley, Simpkin and Tommy boy... Let's not kid ourselves...the next 10 years will be extremely barron. So you don't rate Smith Miles Steven Armo Geary Heyne or Lynch. Sorry but you are a d.....head if this is what you are saying. Calm d...

Smith Miles Stanley Steven Armitage Geary Walsh Heyne Lynch Simpkin. So how can we not be excited! 2 G/F sprint winners in last 2 years. We have a very bright few years ahead so HTFU people.

Need to bring on the youth like Collingwood did.

Armo, Steven, Geary, Lynch, Walsh, Simpkin, Stanley and Miles need heaps of game time in 2011.

I think the future looks bright. Cats and Bulldogs are gone. We will still be up there for next few years at least.

Sorry l know a lot of you guys think this is BS and l probably do as well. But I was downloading an application on the computer this morning and a little voice inside my head said look at the no. on the screen. It was 26% downloaded. I thought 26 so what I'm going crazy. Then l thought hang on l kno...

JABBER I'm not saying you are BSing but it would be more disaster for Brisbane if this deal went through.

Cant see BL going for it see my post above but with the Voss disaster in charge anything could happen. I know they are on the verge of getting rid of Fevola (trust me its spot on mail!!)

Spot on #1Gill that would put Brisbane back another 5 years. So then thay will be a full decade behind with M.Voss's disaster list management decisions.

I'll have Rich at Saints thanks very much.

Im sooo confident it's a very weird feeling. Hard to describe just know we are going to win.

Had 2 wins this year by 100 + points just off the top of my head. What's all this BS we don't ever win big and Saints Footy doesn't allow it crapolla l say!!

Dav acouple of points that cant be turned 180 degrees are.

Dal and Gram played injured or restriced.
Pies had an extra days break and 2 soft Finals Coming in.
Saints played a man down for most of the game.

And yet WE managed to hang on for a draw great effort Saints!!

You are right Samoht and the more I think about it the more I think he might go for Stanley for his pace and tackling pressure across half fwd. Regardless of whether he takes any overhead marks or not he is as quick as any other of our mid size defensive fwd. options and he will definately give anot...

Further to the above post on recovery, Matthews did an analysis a few years about the optimiun age of players for a premiship window etc. The conclusion was without a doubt it is when the average age group was b/w 26 to 28. There is is very good reason for this, apart from the mental seasoning it al...

Its actually the opposite. The longer the season goes the harder it is for the younger inexperienced bodies to back up. That is because the seasoned bodies after the extra years of doing so become adapted to the recovery times and thus recover better. Thats why a lot of clubs rest younger players du...

I have good source up here who today told me it was Josh Fraser.

I think they will be very flat this week. Very long season for the young brigade.

Interesting No. 14 kicks the goal after that Lenny tackle (on YouTube) Would be a good inclusion for Eddy IMO. Defensive fwd on Shaw.

It has been a very long season for the very young pies players l think it might be all too much for them. I wouldn't be surprised if they are very flat in GF 2.

Are the AFL sure Rooty Hill RSL will give him Saturday off?

Sorry KT but McEvoy is more than mobile enough to go with Jolly. I'm not saying he will beat Jolly but keeping up with him wont be the problem.

Sorry l promises to do better next time #1.

I think Ross agrees with you SainterK. Very quick to mention Stevens name in the last few days. Very good up fwd v Cats.

Same 1GILL l would love to see Armo in as a defensive fwd with some rotations on the ball. Something about him just screams big game player IMO
