Finally we can get excited

Post: # 1503829Post 3rd generation saint »

Yes the football season is over, now comes the trade and draft period, the time of the year at the moment when we can actually get a little excited over our prospects.
Let's hope we have a great month and a half.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

Think the last three years have been ok, with last year certainly the best for ages. 2011 was ok, 2012 tried to add some numbers, but was ok, and last year our best for a long time. 2-3 more years of canny trading/drafting and we'll be back in business.

That next Ablett called Will Langford was taken with late in the rookie draft in 2011 as a NSW scholarship selection.
Sounds like no one wanted him.
Will we in the near future recruit low with the success the mighty Hawks have?

Poopa was also a lower pick, along with many others.

Will was nor really in the normal AFL system
Quoted from the Age
"When Will Langford was 16, he knocked back a football scholarship to live in France for three months as an exchange student. When he was 17, he decided to play rugby instead of Australian Rules. By the time he turned 18 he couldn't do very much at all, bound to bed and sleeping 20 hours a day before he was diagnosed with a form of chronic fatigue syndrome. He is the son of one of the Hawthorn greats, who grew up in Sydney and joined his father's club not as a father-son draftee, but as a much more anonymous NSW scholarship player."

Just shows how clever the Hawks are. They also took Spanner who was a misfit at other clubs and gave him a medal and gave us an offer too good to refuse for Big Boy.

How much of the past 2 flags are Pelicans doing and how much their new dude?

And yet Langford said in his interview he had dreamed of playing with the hawks for as long as he could remember.

Im sure he did but he would have played for anyone. He is a star. Tough and fast. Looks a bit ungainly but can play.

For a man who claims to have me on ignore you really do struggle. Why do you lie about that? Sad. By the way I went to the footy with a Hawks fan who goes every week and he also said similar but I suppose he only sees him play all the time. What a weird person. Ignore. Apparently its easy for the soft people.

i do have you on ignore
but every now and then when im in the mood ill read your posts
like this morning
because i could just imagine the comments of complete disagreement with everyone the morning after a GF
and thats always fun to watch and laugh at

so go call someone else a liar
but youd want to make sure you get it right first

and also try proof reading your posts before you hit submit (i believe the preview button could work wonders for your inability)
you then might be able to clean them up so posters could understand what you are saying

no worries, glad i could help

Reading posts of a person on ignore. Very weird. And BJ wont go guaranteed man, what posts did I disagree with everyone this morning. I said Tippett played well last night BEFORE anyone else even said he didnt. Should I then be weak minded like people who read others posts when they say they wont and say yep you are right, he didn't play well because others think that. No I should stick to what I actually think. Its funny that you are happy to accuse me of not having an opinion but when I do have an opinion you accuse me of having that opinion just to disagree with others. You do realise how silly that is, don't you?

Not weird at all P66.... I use the 'sometimes ignore' function too. In fact I have everyone on 'sometimes ignore'. When I'm on SS i turn the function off and when I'm not on SS the function kicks in!

Let's me read the posts of people (everyone) I have on ignore when I'm in the mood. And ignore when I'm not.


Happy days! :mrgreen:

All of a sudden someone is a liar if they take someone off ignore. Matrix gives you an honest explanation and you can't respect that. Funny that some people have nfi.

Hey p66 and spinner;
It's quite easy to read someone's post if you have them on ignore.

Plugger66 tells us he doesn't put anone on ignore so I'll explain it you - You just click their username - which still shows up on each thread.

When I have the energy AND the inclination to be confrontational AND the TIME...I also take some people off ignore. I particularly like replying to those who constantly sledge and troll so that I can argue against the crock of excrement that they post

Very sad that you could be bothered. Extremely sad but reading some of your posts, its obvious that you are a real sad sack. Again you come across a nice person. Luckily you have a cousin.

Makes sense. You have a go at me for no reason at all because the previous post had nothing to do with you and then call me a troll. Seriously no wonder you like your cousin. Did you fail plasticine at school because its obvious you failed common sense. Hang s*** on me? On a anonymous fan forum. Yep that is real upsetting. How did you feel about your cousin saying in 2011 that the Saints overachieved under RL? That's the problem with posting on here over a period of time. There is proof that people have hindsight hate of a certain coach.

It was about looking forward to the trade and draft period where we might enjoy some very good success.

Get us three more kids like Billings, Dunstan and Acres and another established player like Savage and I think we'll have done well. Probably need to get lucky with some sliders going through to the rookie draft too. Could be the next 200 game Saints right there!

Not sure we have another "Ben" to trade this year.

We can swap pick 1, but that also means giving up quality. still Say 1 for 4 plus a quality player from the GWS is probably a pretty good result given that some have little to split the top 4 draft picks at present.
