IF this club is going to publicly release information it had chosen to keep quiet only when we ask about it...

THEN we wonder what else it is keeping quiet on. We may not make the phone call on this other story we've been told, might just go with it.

Even by AFL media standards Barret is an idiot, but what is he referring to here? I'd guess the first is about Milera and could the other news be about the rumors we have heard about sponsors?

 

[Hayes4PM]

Damian Barrett is a little weasel. everyone knows this. How he even gets published on the AFL site is beyond me.

Gwilt and Milera to adelaide for

"And the Power is expected to trade young defender Cam O’Shea to St Kilda to reunite the Victorian with former Port Adelaide coaching director Alan Richardson who is currently the Saints’ senior coach."

Wow! David King not only failed on the Tom Lee trade, but also failed on the Hickey trade.... When the * will one of these ex-footballers/pretend journos actually get this right?

Almost every bloke we got in those 2 trades, ie: Lee, Hickey, White, Wright, Saunders (except TDL) has shown equal or more talent & ability than either of Jaksch (pick 12) and Lonergan (pick 13)

While Lee has been disappointing, he's been injured a hell of a lot & Hickey looked awesome at the start of the year until he got injured too. To say that the trade puts us '5 steps back' after 2 seasons shows what a complete ******* he is...

The idea for the article is actually a decent one, 'snakes and ladders' is a better concept than 'premiership clock'. Problem is they proceeded to give the idea to an idiot who not only doesn't understand trades but is as deluded as Carlton about where that club is at. St Kilda at least recognises we need a rebuild, Carltank's frittering away money on Mick and Dale Thomas.

Or just view it via couriermail website, or google the title of article and you'll get round it

" Strapped on a new set of pins. #shins "

I think we forget sometimes how much these guys go through to play at this level, Roo is the perfect example of that, how many surgeries do you reckon he has had?

Hope Brucey pulls up well from the surgery.

Agree. He makes some valid points... the least of is how teams like the scum are in no man's land by finishing mid table. Have said many times that our recruiting window is wide open right now, so yeah we better get it right.

As far as Lee is concerned... Look, regardless of injuries or form, if a player doesn't get on the park then it's a fail... it didn't work out. doesn't matter who's fault it was.

So the Pies flopped with Scharenberg and Freeman then.

They're booking Tommy Simpkin in for the same thing next week.

Tom Lee reminds me of an old E-Type Jag...

When its running it purrs like a kitten, but sadly they spend more time in the workshop than on the road.

Immediately reminded me of The Big Steal - classic Aussie movie.
