who have we beaten so far .. Sydney - notorious slow starters Carlton - not a top 8 team Essendon - not a top 8 team Richmond - not a top 8 team No really convincing wins in there either ... Who did we lose to: Bulldogs - top 4 contenders Cats - GF favourites Port - top 8 contender (but not exactly ...

The question is will he want to go. Firstly let me state - I would be against trading him unless he or his manager approach the Club . In that circumstance then we should entertain a deal. Quite frankly we will be in that no-mans land on the premiership table by then - not good enough to be in the t...

Whenever we lose a few games everyone calls for the coaches head. So we sack the coach, get a new one every few months and repeat it all over again. This is why we will never be successful. I am 41 years old. Statistically my life is more than half over. I've seen 1 losing Grand final in my lifetim...

Here's a question: If Roo is being double-teamed, why not make HIM the forward line decoy... take 2 defenders away into the pocket? have been saying for months now that we are dumb & predictable when we go forward. Fine to kick it to Roo when he is on a lead or even 1 on 1 - but the team rule s...

another wasted year ... sh*t brand of footy we are playing will get us nowhere when we finally start moving it a bit qucker into the forward line we look to kick it to Reiwoldt when he is double or triple teamed, or kick it high to Milne !. We are just plain dumb when we go forward. will not make th...

Dal was a f"ng disgrace tonight...maybe it;'s time we just said he's an GHP.....cos he's showing nothing more. F..ing pansie tonight.....at best Its GOP. And your an idiot. Calling Dal a pansie. Your the pathetic one. I am (or was) a Dal fan .. but absolutley no doubt there were times he took ...

what a crap brand of footy we play

I dont mind playing attacking footy and losing - but that rubbish we served up was .. well... rubbish.

I liked what I saw in the NAB cup and posted at the time tht he reminded me of the Jones & Smith debut's in the Ansett Cup way back when.

This year will be a big one for him learning how to play against men .. no doubt he will tire as the year goes on.

However, I agree - the kid looks the good.

harsh, but true.

There simply is too much sentiment at St Kilda with respect to the forward line structure .. Someone needs to make the hard decision and face the facts that Kosi, Roo & G doesnt work. G getting a game on reputation at the moment - plays 1 good game in 3. Too inconsistent. Far better playing Char...

Gold Coast Retirees .. the blue in their uniform should match the blue rinse in the hair of half the population

West Sydney Ferals or West Sydney bushpigs

ahh .. the million dollar question .. how does a recruit who shows promise in the first year or 2 go backwards in subsequent years ..

Mini was a first round pick, so was Brooks, and Beetham .. all confined to the scrap heap.

so 11 years .. that makes it circa 1997 vintage ? .. I dont know if its a good omen for Saturday but its definately a great omen for September !!..mortgage the house and get on the Saints for the Flag in September

Armo definately played his best game in senior company.

Tempo of the game was higher than previous weeks and was good to see him step up.

I dont know if he makes more clangers than others (maybe he does) .. but they certainly are more memorable than anybody elses. I like Raph - does take the good releiving pack mark from time to time and the good punch from behind. He has more positives than negatives - we must persist with him as eve...

he took a nice overhead mark under pressure from a few players - I think it was start of last quarter ..thought to myself - geez he looked like he had no fear.

I'll be be putting a few quiet dollars on him for the brownlow

what about PEcko ? .. he has a tribe of kids doesnt he ? .. must be a boy in there somewhere ..

and the end of the day - who cares about who is better than who.

Its a team game.. we've had some of the biggest individual names in the game over the past 40 odd years and only 1 true piece of silverware.

Give me a bunch of no-names and a full trophy case anyday.

Very impressed with this young fella to date. Looks like a very smart footballer. Hasnt got a lot of the footy to date, but seems to know what to do with it. Has brought back memories of Aussie Jones & Joel Smith debut's in 95 Ansett cup series. He is my pick for our next emerging superstar .. I...

have been very inpressed with the young fella in the games so far this year

looks ready to go and certainly will be challenging some of the regular boys for a spot in the team

does anybody know if and where game stats for the NAB cup games can be found

I would be very interested to see how much of the ball some of our rookies and newbies got

if we win or get within say a couple of goals, it will mean that our depth is the best its been in my memory and we will be genuine contenders this year

Cats are the benchmark and they will be wary of us ie we are probably one of the few teams that they will feel can threaten them for the flag in 08

so lets not take undue risks .. be take the game serioulsy to see where we are at.

I dont normally get as excited as most on here .. but there was a lot to like. Almost all our rookies showed something - definatley enough to suggest that our depth has improved significantly. Eddy, Geary, Miles would all count themselves unlucky not to hold onto their spots for the next game. Jack ...
