Look at the reasons why that happened dont just look at ladder position FFS I cant remember the crows having 24 players to choose from. The fact we were still a chance to make finals proves my point. Look at Melb our season without the effort we put in could of easily become theres. We ended up play...

Schneider>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Milne

Two key players Hayes and Goose coming back from 12 month injuries a block of games were we had 25 to pick from what would you have done.

Oh thats right its the coaches fault. Please I get as peed off as anyone when we lose but this years effort was excellent if you look at the whole picture.

I take it youve never been involved ion a football club then. Not excuses there called reasons.

barry rooks has taken enough of the clubs money unnecessarily, theres no way the prick was ever getting mine.. get a decent player and i will contribute my share. You must be a star Fonz the way you bag Brookes. :roll: last time i checked, my job wasn't to play AFL football, and i wasn't earning a ...

Showd remarkable heart to keep going after a horrendus injury run. So easily could of and should of finished last if it wasnt for our depth and coaching staff. Great effort all things consisdered and never through in the towell gives us a great platform for 2008. A- i'll take that as a joke in orde...

Which one of those impresses you so much with there dominate ruckwork? Secondly how often have you seen Brookes play? Third thank god your not involved in our trades.

Brookes while not being a star number one ruckmen I would have him on our list over the following Bryan Richards Cloke Ackland McLaren Patterson Doyle McDonald Seaby Warnock Deluca Meeson Hudson Skipper Minson Wight Street Johnson Griffen Moran Taylor Laycock Rix There the sought of players holding ...

Geelong who has the best depth according to sum have had only interest in Blake and Prismall according to the media and press so it means nothing. We only hear what they want us to hear.

our depth is in fact shallow??.

How do you know? Have you sat at the table with the Saints staff during trade talks? Please fill us in on the news.

Key word is dominate ruckmen.

To anyone thats had a knee reco a seson or twos grace is not to much to ask especially a ruck forward.

Five years ago really I think youll find it was a lot more recent than that

then how could we have got him the same draft we traded for brooks :roll: he was drafted in the 2002 draft, meaning his first year was 2003... his first game was in 2005 he played 17 games in 2006, at 10 disposals a game (rix like?) and about 7 hitouts a game. he doubled his possessions and tripple...

Just as well that the other 15 Clubs have perfect recruiting records and St Kilda are the only ones who make trading mistakes :roll: Build a bridge people, EVERY CLub has a story to tell like this..as well as Sam Fisher-type good luck stories too No way somehow we have to play all 38 of ouir listed...

You can not buy loyalty

Mik you wanted us to do anything to secure Judd

So yes the Cats were stronger, but they also had increased aerobic capacity.......and probably most importantly the players had been DEVELOPED by appropriate coaching...and importantly with adequate individual coaching. My grandmother could have coached Geelong to the flag this year with full pre-s...

[quote="Oh When the Saints"]Yes, our list has been poorly managed. You shouldn't have 5 players retiring in one year, especially with a combined total of over 1000 games experience between them (a third of the list's experience). It leaves too big a hole at once, and unless you are prepari...

Apart from Thomas and Pendlebury pick 2&5 respectivally and Cloke and H Shaw father sons what other players have shown such remarkable development. Egan first round Cole first round Roach first round Morrison first round Shacklton first pick Bo Nixon first round Not that wonderful a record I wou...

If your coach ever says we will have a beep test next training dont turn up.

Not in MY best 22.


Tell me...Do players have to kick the ball these days?

Dont look at the stats to judge a players value I would take Rookes 9 stats on Sat over Cornes 37.

Johnson Mooney Chapman Yes
Stokes Ablett Kelly NO

Our best forward six this year with Roo G Kosi Milne X and Goddard and HARVS would be comparable if fit.
