I don't see any reason why we cant win both saturday and round 1.

its $300,000
not $1m

It's 300k for the ansett cup by itself, but a cool Million if you win both in the same year....

Would have liked to see Allen in the side, but I think it's a tough lineup for another tall to get in to. Perhaps could have been used at CHB??? I know it's only round one of the nab cup, but does this side show that Dempster has passed ferguson in the pecking order?? Where's BJ at??? This time last...

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but how good would it have been if we'd grabbed Aaron Edwards in last years draft. He'd be perfect as the 3rd tall forward, with a great set of hands and real pace. Of our current list, I think Gilbo could cause some real headaches across half forward. Reasonab...

True or not, I hope that Andrew has a real good lawyer!!!!! Yes he may well need one as Demetriou has said this morning that the internet rumours are categorically not true......

True or not, I hope that Andrew has a real good lawyer!!!!!

Would definetly be interested in what Prismall's doing next year. Still only young, midfielder who accumulates possesions, but certainly no plodder a la McGough. Hasn't had a look in after about round 5. Flogged the scopions early in the year, had 28 or so touches till half time, when he was taken o...

Not sure that he would want the attention even if he was retiring.

Agree - you get my proxy grumpy one....

Sorry to see you go V2.....

....an obvious victim of the evolution of the game.

Sounds like he still has some footy left in him, so it would be great to see him playing a season or 2 at the Scorps. Showed this year he can still be more than handy at that level.

I think Collingwood are probably in the box seat personally, I beleive they will put together a very attractive offer to him, and then if he nominates them I would imagine all but 3 players would be open for use to secure the picks they need. Yep sure are. Could free up some salary cap space by exi...

RB still has my vote...for now.

I'm still waiting of something of substance from the new crowd.

I'm more than willing to listen to their grand plan, but all I've heard so far is the new boys potting the board for getting us out of debt and trying to save some pennies in the process.

Yea I was a bit confused by that aswell because "Nathan Burke or Me" seems like the sort of thing you would have got told off for saying in primary school, but "Nathan Burke or I" also seems wrong, the only thing that I could think of that sounds right is "Nathan Burke or M...

All my concerns surround the planned 'Elite Training Facility' and it's demise. As aussierules mentioned, we (the supporters) need some indication that the planning is still a priority for the current board, and why so if it isn't. It's construction, and the redevelopment of Moorabbin, is crucial in...

Fred Campbell

End Thread.....

I wouldn't have any problems seeing the back of John Barker. The forward line was insipid for the best part of the year, and only really kicked big scores when Roo and G had big games individually. It can't be totally put down to poor delivery.

And will SOS go back to the blues with Ratten???

It was a really obvious tactic early in the season to drop the ball on Roo's head. Everytime he got a worm burner, he would point in the air, wanting it in high, so he could beat his opponent in the air. This was a poor tactic, because Roo would find himself at a standing start, and was getting push...

That mean that if Bakes cops this penalty, he's gonna have the full 50% weighting until August 2010.

The reply sounds encouraging.

Fight the good fight Archie!!!!!

He ran at him and lifted his elbow. once he struck he kept running towards southern goals. I would say Farmer said something to him and Bakes Retaliated. Maybe he could say something like what was said to headland. again they have to prove he is guilty b4 we need to tell them why or how he did it t...

A certain starter.

Forward line will be:

HF: Riewoldt - Pavlich - G Ablett
FF: B. Johnson - Brown - Franklin

Possible Lucas on the pine....gone missing as the Bombers have struggled.
