Re: Ryder to Saints (two year deal)

Only people who think it’s a good idea are those trying to convince themselves its a good idea, in case it happens. They also believe/d that every stk decision is a good one, until hindsight suggests it wasn’t. I respect those who are willing to call the mistake early and risk some humble pie... be...

However it does show the crows tolerance for poor performance compared to ours
I think it was more about him losing the players than the team's overall form.

Yep, I never saw the best of Ablett (snr) or Dunstall live, because we had Spud Frawley.

I reckon he would given Plugger a few headaches.

Re: Josh Bruce to be traded?

The more I think about it, this is a good move. If King plays next year, and he will if fit, where does Bruce fit? King will be our target for long balls into the forward 50, its a no-brainer. So what would Bruce's role be? Is he going to keep out King or spend more time at Sandy which diminishes h...

Re: What’s the latest on Jack Steven?

Geelong may want to reconsider their List Management strategy. They may very well go out in straight sets. Ablett, Hawkins and Taylor are done. Selwood is well past his peak and they're losing Kelly. They also appear to have a lame duck Coach. Do they need an ageing mid in Steven? Their window may ...

Re: Doggies offer 3 to 4 year deal for Bruce

The reality is, if we're serious about getting in good players. We need to pick up another first rounder and perhaps a second rounder or two.

Re: Josh Bruce to be traded?

Collingwood are now rumoured to be into him, this will drive his price up. I was lukewarm on Bruce, but his form in the later part of this year was very good. Whether he benefited from working with Brereton, became fully fit or both, I was excited about him in a future forward line where King would ...

He's what you call an Activist Judge.

His pitiful decision on behalf of a handful of union members, caused Toyota to stop manufacturing here.
