Re: Nathan Murphy
Thanks for the post GPHB. It's great to get some background on draft hopefuls. I will be keeping an eye out for Nathan. Now we did have some luck with a previous draftee. Similar cricket/AFL skills. Same sport code choices. He went on to be our games record holder and dual Brownlow medalist. Maybe ...

Nathan Murphy
This kid is a bit of a draft bolter with a St.Kilda connection. His dad, Sean Murphy, played for the saints under 19s in the early 80's. Nathan is a gun cricketer who's had to choose between AFL and cricket, like Will Sutherland. He has officially decided to pursue AFL and nominate for the draft. He...

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
I can't think of one good reason we missed out on an AFLW's licence, LL. Given we've been a leader on social issues, have a strong presence in the bayside, which has the greatest number of female players and having a successful "feeder" club in the St.Kilda Sharks, it beggars belief that C...

Re: I am worried ....
The club is cooked. We will be talking about mergers or re-location in two years. I just watched the last quarter of the 2004 prelim. Gehrig was taller, faster , more agile, stronger, more athletic, tougher, smarter and a better kick than McCartin will ever be. We are all delusional on here. I'm re...

Another reason we are the irrelevant club. The AFL doesn't care about us. We'll be the Gold Coast Saints within five years.

Re: Stringer
The Bendigo connection is strong. Hayden Skipworth is the link. He was something of a mentor to Jake when with the Bendigo Bummers. I reckon they've got the inside running. I wonder what they're willing to pay? Bendigo? If he ended up playing in a country league, all they could offer him would be f...

Re: How could you NOT win a Premiership with this ....
Given their talent, they should've won last year and be a shoe in this year. The fact they've come up empty and are likely to do so again this year is a damning condemnation of their coaching staff.

Re: Time for Wayne Hughes to earn his keep.
Wayne Hughes does alot more than just chase free agents. Hope people realise this. Indeed, PS. His task is to target players we might be able to lure to the club, whether they are FAs or uncontracted. Even the contracted ones aren't off limits. A deal can always be done if the respective parties ag...

Despite all that, I've got no issues with them...talented players, good coaching, great to watch, aside from Greene they're wanker free, fair club to deal with, and no annoying arrogant supporters. Compare them to Melbourne during the same period of time - looked after almost as favourably, tanking...

Time for Wayne Hughes to earn his keep.
The pressure is on our recruiting and list management teams. Picks 7 and 8 don't come along as a package (unless you are a Frankenstein's monster type club) very often. Wayne Hughes was brought on board to identify and target "gettable" uncontracted players and FAs. He's getting paid aroun...

Re: Seb Ross - 3rd fastest speed clocked this year
There is a difference between maximum peak speed (which I assume is what the article is quoting), and that burst of acceleration from a standing start that some players have. If AFL it is mainly that burst over 10-20m that counts. Stanley for example won the GF sprint, but it took hima bit to get g...

The pressed was the usual bland, PR spin type of affair, where no one wants to damage the other side. He admitted he had problems and made mistakes, so he is aware. If he wasn't, I'm sure Bevo would've let him know. That's his way. I saw his influence at St.Bedes Mentone. He's stil talked about in h...
