Very harsh. One thing I would say is that those advocating altering the best 22 to minimise the chance of winning cannot criticise Bailey for his win/loss record. I mentioned this earlier but I'll say it again: it is up to PA to turn up, we will be there for two or three quarters but they are a better team and should beat us. Like that ridiculous WB win in 2007, the other team was poor and it cost us (although considering the close finishes we lost in early 2007, it's debateable whether we deserved a PP).

He plays slightly taller than his height, and he nullified Wirrapanda a treat on Saturday. But the thing I like the most is his lateral movement, he harrasses in the forward line well because of his quick feet and mind. Not sure where he will end up but he can play AFL footy.

Reckless. Let's hope it's just a setback. He had a great couple of months.

People can say what they like, and BB59 at least tries to back it up with an argument, most just say something, believe it is irrefutable and complain when others criticise. Jamar, Meesen, Martin, and Spencer will definitely be on the/a list next year (Spencer on the RL). PJ has some work to do but I dare say he won't be one to make way.

BACK TO THE PRESENT This is my way of apologising to YM. He was always on the side of trading TJ for Grimes. I am sorry. This thread is an even better read than the other TJ thread. The handwringing and histrionics by BBP and Demons 32 are a larf and a harf...

I'm not certain Salopek was dropped. He may have had a niggle or something. Anyway, he is highly rated by the Power and I believe he re-signed last year. We might get someone in the PSD, but trading picks? We should be looking to get into the top 20 picks, not out of it.

Jesus RR, this is your pet peeve isn't it? Everytime someone intimates that Geelong were loathed to get rid of Moloney you play the role Lord Killjoy III. Have a few Geelong friends, they love the way Moloney goes about his footy. Wish they could have figured out another way but understand it helped them win a flag. Enough said. Move on. By the by, there was one orgasmic play in the second when Moloney looked like he was being gang tackled and broke through and free and sent it in and I believe Petterd got a softy. He's bloody strong in the centre. Would be up there with Bruce and Davey for the Bluey.

It was good to see. One word of advice: hit the enter key once in a while...

What rubbish. He got set-up by an awful Bruce kick and followed the ball and got crunched. There is no person alive who would have been able to get out of that situation AND contested the footy.

If Port don't turn up on Sunday, we can say goodbye to pick 2. It's not up to the Dees, it's up to PA to show up...

He doesn't have the base behind him; shortened PS and, according to CC, wasn't able to do the required speed work. He is toughing it out and has been better than you give credit. Awful disposal against Collingwood but half his possies were contested and had 7 or 8 clearances, the same goes for the Bombers game with less awful disposal. When we are bad everyone looks awful. But he was one of the best in a bad lot. A pathetic thing to say for sure, but required if you are to make an individual judgement of players - which is what we are doing. You can't just lump everyone together into 'the midfield group' and expect to get the right judgement of individuals. Except for the Lions game - he was awful...

Is YM going back and changing his previous, idiotic, posts again? D'Ology have a 'this post was edited on' function and this site desperately needs one... Lest people take YM seriously...

What an indictment?! Dreadful? Going that far? I would have him behind only Bruce, Davey, and Moloney in the Bluey. He's been slow, but has competed very well after a very poor first three rounds. Just as an aside, I heard CC on 3AW mention that Brock didn't do any speed work in the PS and that we should expect him to get better in that department next season.

There should be more love for Bate, his has been our most consistent forward this year. Provides a great target. Man, I am constantly defending him on this forum. I just think he is better than people give him credit.

It is my firm view that we cannot carry two pure ruckmen in the 22. Jamar, Meesen, and Spencer are similar in that regard and so PJ has a chance to get that backup ruckman slot longterm. A chance that is getting smaller and smaller as Martin continues to progress. It's funny how many of us criticised Bailey for throwing Martin around the ground, but the reality is our backline doesn't need him long term like our ruck and forward division need him. He is a far from finished product but he makes his presence felt and his disposals count.

In fairness to him, and by extension, your username, he had a good 5 weeks leading into a diabolical match last weekend.

Don't encourage him people.

Welcome to the real world champ. More people come to watch teams when they are winning.

You'd hope it would be an eff load better. They are going great guns, haven't lost a match, and have out-and-out stars like Riewoldt, Goddard, Dal Santo, and Hayes. No comparison at all.

He won't cut it as a forward alone. But his athleticism will give him a chance to be a back-up ruckman for a decade: roaming forward, back, linking in midfield, and relieving Jamar/Meesen/Spencer. He is taking away PJ's position here folks.

That's ironic, considering the Saints supporters I know have been dissappointed with Fisher's kicking this year... And three exclamation marks? Really?

Jetta had the most scoring assists and 6 tackles. Provided great pressure in our forward line. Deserves more recognition for his efforts from the fans.

And One will replay it a few times. Like Sunday night at 11.50pm.

Not knowing what the future holds for these two talents, I did feel relief yesterday for one thing... We got the natural footy player. With the vision and footy IQ that comes with that. I just feel that in the last 6 or 7 years there has been an unwarranted obsession with turning athletes into footy players, rather than footy players into athletes. Not suggesting NN doesn't have footy nous, but it is somewhat below our number 4.

Where is D'Lands' fundamental flaw (Freak) talking about Jack Grimes' fundamental flaw? Just having some fun Freak... But defend yourself man! Tell me why I shouldn't believe my lying eyes...
