You could also start "the skeptic's Jaxons thread, only for the enlightened ones"

It wouldn't be the most stupid thread on the front page at the moment.

I had some information via a close media friend who knew a board member well that advised me on some news & I shared it 6 months later when it was no longer relevant & Jaxons dismissed it like he knew better.

My guess is the following:

He is not employed in the AFL industry as he would be compromising his job.
I do not think he would be getting it from someone employed inside the club as he would be seriously jeopardizing that person's position by sharing ITK information on here.
I believe he is either a friend of a well connected players agent or someone in the media.
Either way if his mail is reasonably good that is great but that does not make him a messiah or everything he says is 100% correct or that other people don't have strong connections also.

At one stage people were feeding his ego & he got a rise out of it & we were enjoying some good mail...

All good.... we all want the scoop, everyone wants to know what our club is up to and lets just keep it all in perspective.

Sorry Vazelos what information did I dismiss that I apparently knew better?

We approached Brisbane for Armitage to be swapped for Rockliff but were turned down instantly.
You told me that didn't happen. I know it did at end of last year.

Strange interpretation of what I wrote there, not much emotion in my post but more analysis and opinion based.
I understand the average punter gets a little carried away with ITK stuff just need to keep it real...
We are all Saints people here and good information is appreciated by all...

The red part is round, the white part is flat, and the black part is both. Easy.

So lets move on mate.
I will say that Armitage and Rockliff deal was never discussed at all.
Rockliff's management came to us last year and tried to see if we were interested in him.
We were not for the dollars he was on plus the trade required to get him.
Armo was never discussed as it never went that far.

So Jaxons calls everything spot on for years and there are still skeptics because 1-2 things didnt come off but were clearly in play at the time?? Joking or what??
How many years does he have to nail it before you morons accept it?

Unless your there I would not 100% know but I was told we threw Armitage'a name up for a straight swap and were quickly dismissed but take on board what you say and it's irrelevant now anyway.

I will say re Dunstan( our initial debate) that after 3 demotions last year my fears for him seemed to come to fruition but his comeback the last month gives me great hope for him. You did mention his great character and he showed that after struggling at one stage. I hope goes on with it next year.. we need all our young boys to take the next step.

Dunstan's a beauty, trust me. I'm no itk, but I'm told he's very highly regarded internally, a future leader, maybe even as captain. His first year was very good and probably raised expectations too high. Second-year blues, then a significant shoulder injury slowed his progress, but getting dropped three times in a year was probably the kick up the backside he needed. I noted he was seeing a psych about his body language and demeanour earlier in the year. It seems to have done the trick. He could end up our premier inside mid.

"Oh shut up."

Dunstan will be a jet trust me.
Think of some Aussie cricketers who made the Test side early on talent then got dropped and came back after some shield games and then became stars.
Dunstan had a few issues this year that affected his form and then lost some confidence.
He started to show his real talent at the end of the year and I expect him to be a star for many years.

I saw enough in the last 4 games to have some confidence in what you are saying.
I have spoken to him and he seems a strong character with good traits.
I have been critical of him but he is now entering that phase of 60-100 games 4/5 year player where we should expect a higher and consistent output.
Fingers crossed for the boy.

Well now I think he is claiming to be Bains or at least his best mate.

Complete bull crap artist if you ask me.

This forum is becoming less pleasant by the day. So many people just sticking the boots in constantly. The criticism of Jaxons and Ameet Bains has been deplorable...and by the usual suspects, of course. Really disappointing. It's no wonder I barely post on here these days. I notice quite a few have dropped off in recent times, too. Probably for the same reason, i suspect.



And if only you knew the link between Ameet and Jaxons it is quite ironic".

I agree with you there, but sadly, in my defense I was only following orders from the forum gods, or at least the guys who believe that they are in control.

No.. this is a thread to keep muppets like you out of the other thread... Yet instead if using it you want to draw attention to yourself so you go to the inappropriate thread.
