I'd also take it with a grain of salt. I'm not sure if this was before or after he posted photos of another poster. Not to derail this thread too much....but I can confirm this as well as the said another poster being none other than SS legend Plugger66. Was that before or after P66 posted details ...

Oh dear, that is terrible news bunk. Just relaying what an insider said on BF. Suffice to say others say they have heard nothing on this. May just be precautionary. Coyld be psychological, could be actual. Other insiders say his hammy is 100%. Club is doing its best. It might not cone good for anot...

So Freeman should play this weekend then He's not injured. They are just choosing not to play him yet. Yeah right They've been pretty transparent about it. They said he wouldn't be available for selection until about round 5 as they want to make sure his hammy is strong as can be. Do you suspect he...

Geary and Gilbert need to be phased out of the team. Their disposal by foot is very suspect. I would hope that by next year neither of them are in the side anymore. Gilbert got 27 possessions a goal and five tackles. He was so good he got in the Age best twice. ....but what the stats don't tell you...

Said he was our best ruckman 2 years ago when he flogged Mumford and was screamed down by some known Hickey haters.

Great to see them eat humble pie and I, as is normal, was correct again and the haters so wrong

And no, players don't play injured

You are going to have to define "injured" then as clearly many players play when not 100% ok.

Of course they do.

A definition would be helpful.

The question I origionally asked was did we not use #5 last season, after he said we better use our next top 5 pick.

We have used pick 3 on Billings, pick 1 on McCartin, and pick 5 on Carlisle and Gresham.

When have we not used our top 5 picks?

Why the ominous threat?

We will get another pick 5-8 This time we better use it What happened to our last 5 pick. Thought we used it on Carlisle and Gresham It was pick 5 and our second rounder for Jake and Jade. Don't rewrite history. It was basically pick 5 for Carlisle with a little bump up in our second rounder (and w...

Dont players have injuries they play through all the time? Riewoldt hasnt had a good knee for five years?

Well I hate to burst everyone's bubble here, but a guy I work with has a good mate who's son plays at the saints (yeah I know, I know my uncles mate's stepbrother's cousin) Anyway I saw first hand the text the saints listed player sent to his father, who then fwded it onto my mate. All I can say is...

JOM has already been offered $900k over three years. Suns can't compete North and Carlton are the front runners. We are not making any type of offer until we can see he can actually play. The patella injury was pretty severe and we already have a high risk option in Freeman. I very much doubt he wil...

and Jake is getting his body right. @TomBrowne7 this morning revealed to #joandlehmo that Jake Carlisle has used his enforced lay off for hip surgery. Hip, knee, I've heard he's got back problems (maybe related to the hip) at just 24. Hope these are fixable problems. Well he is using his time off w...

If McCartin was playing then we would consider pushing Roo on to a wing.

We are certain to get a top five draft pick but the only question is who do we give it to Essendon. They have been a pleasure to do business with. If w get Hurley, Hocking or Heppell it might be worth it! Apparently all Essendon suspended players will be free agents regardless of contracts. Why giv...

So this has gone completly off reservation. Thought it was about Gresham. Like the good old days when every single thread went OT due to P66. He cant do that over at BF, and I think this is the reason some posters only post here. To keep it OT, I reckon Pelchan made plenty of mistakes, all recruiter...

No. It is a holy day for Christians. Personally I don't believe in any religion, but we should respect the deluded people who believe such tripe. And who gives a tinkers cuss about T20 except for the Big Bash? Maybe it would be nice to spend with family, maybe even with the TV off. One day a year. W...

We have a lot of depth in players who are about at the same level but are not stars. Looking back, it seems the 2 for 1 trades were probably not the right way to go. We need more quality now. Exactly, fierce competition between non-AFL standard players doesn't help us at all. Easier in hindsight, b...

So are we expecting The Gresh to have as good a debut season as Dunstan did?? We will have a lot of competition for spots this year -if Gresham plays who misses - Ross, Dunston, Acres or Weller? This is my point. I think Gresham has to earn his spot. First of all he has to show he can run out a ful...

Yeh we like Gresh very muchly. Given how good he looks as an 18 year old and assuming Carlisle works out next year an is an elite key backman for us and in the prime age bracket, how are we feeling about the pick 5 trade? You have to look at who was available at #5. Parish was gone. Do we need anot...

Does Freeman's injury seem like it will never end? He was supposed to be back in two weeks 2 months ago. Now listed at 4 weeks till his return. This seems like much more of a problem than the club is making it out to be. Worrying... Could play tomorrow if need be. He isnt injured. Has no match fitn...
