Re: Hun's Jon Ralph on the saints

We are going to really good in the back half of the season if we can have some luck. Finals is possible if we have luck and don't drop off too far before some players get back

Re: Clark facing the axe

The challenge is and always has been consistency... nothing wrong with a guy like Clarke getting a taste and going back to work on a few things. Where it gets more contentious is you look at Long, DMac Acres, Kent, Sinclair, Gresh and Parker over a few weeks (who have played good games and bad ones...

I'd like to think that last piece of comedy gold ticks the three criteria of ribbing / banter / humour.

Re: Big Footy vs This thing

SS is owned by the people, without the people it is nothing. If it gets closed down it will reappear the very next day. i do tend to agree with that (Grumpy One was always strong on the ‘owned by the people’ point as well) but Shirley the people would get first option if owner/management want out ?...

Re: We have the current worst injury list in the AFL

This time last year Collingwood had the longest injury list in the comp. They were 9th at 4-3. Many said they lacked depth and few rated them a finals chance. Play the hand you're dealt, find a way. It can be done. There list is older and injuries didn't hit in areas they couldn't cover. Grundy goe...

Re: After Rnd 7: Where we are at - My thoughts

The signs are good. As long as the side that plays each week plays to the current mantra of never giving up and running games out becuse of the belief in fitness levels then these are the things that can be controlled no matter which 22 run out. They've got everyone believing now that the list and c...

Re: We have the current worst injury list in the AFL

We would be confident of making a run for the finals with a little bit of luck with injuries. The sum of all parts includes having luck with injuries. Young lists find it harder to overcome significant injury lists, mainly because you need a critical mass of mature hard bodies for the marathon. This...

Re: Rozee and Bailey Smith

My top 4 in order of preference for our first pick were Rankine, Walsh, Smith, Rozee. I was hoping like crazy that we didn't take the low percentage selection of the beanpole key forward with a severe knee injury and almost no exposed draft year form, but here we are. Just like I was hoping like he...

Anyone changing their minds on this? Think we'll be 5-2 Beat Crows. Lose Giants. Would be bloddy stoked with that. The Crows is a certain 4 points. We like playing GWS so very winnable. Take it to the bank, we will be 6-1 at the end of round 7. Drats. I got my prediction wrong. I bet your predictio...
