    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Well for a start I'm not saying my example is bullet proof. And I'm far from arrogant. I was just weighing onto the debate with a possible solution. I think I said its a template to improve on. Regarding teams going from bottom to top in one year (unlikely) like the current system, players...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Geegrimey I don't know who is paying such ridiculous prices flying players over. Sme clubs have a connection with specific Airlines and some have people work in these airlines that get very cheap flights. Accommodation is a layers, presidents house so is free and $300 a game is a long way above...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Come off it Saint, are you really that arrogant??! This isn't about Saints, it's about the unevenness of the competition for many years. The top four have been a long way off the bottom three for sometime. At times it may be 5 & 2 or even top 3 far superior. Overall the league has been too...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    As it stands, when outsiders look at the league and the results, ladder percentages etc, they see a minor league with hidings every week. This alone would keep just as many players from coming to Cairns as anything else. I know I have defended the league among friends who check the scores...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    It's a trade off that has to happen. I dont think there would be many that find themselves in that position and it would be upto the teams to know their points limits and recruit accordingly. Its just another version of the salary cap. A player may not want to play for a club that pays less...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Hear hear! Lewis' lack of votes is proof the umpires should not be vote givers as they haven't a clue! A system of points akin to the draft order is a fantastic and fair way to even up the competition.

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    It's amazing what can happen when a team knows they are the outright underdog. It's freedom to give all without pressure of expectation or failure. Given Saints are $1.01 to win, the only expectation Hawks have is to show up.

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Powell gets 'unders' at Hawks and has done for years. I was responding to the comment regarding Powell from Saints. As for being a school teacher, we call all you saints school teachers, for a number of reasons. And as for Quagmire being chubby, it was reference to the chubby kid that dropped...

    You said it not me Quagmire. The club hasn't won a flag in 25 years.

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Just to make it clear for you Sainst as I know you're a tad slow, league medals are often won by plodders who keep bobbing up. Nothing against plodders, every club needs a one, but you wouldn't want two. As respected as he is, and rightly so, he's still just a plodding midfielder, and they're a...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Hahaha you can always rely on the Saints folk to be up in arms over anything, even if it's nothing to do wit their club. The arrogance of this club knows no bounds as they take the role as keeper of the competiton. For you Saint, who as a tescher should know better - Reading the league and...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Righto, once again, for the mentally inept, I have nothing against Norths, i am merely stating an observation which i have spoken of to many among the league who agree. It's not an indictment on North Cairns, it just so happens that they are the club which are the barometer for the league at...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    If you're happy with false sense of rapid improvement then this is your call. But when the league hits an upswing as it sounds like it may next season, and you go backwards by remaining the same, then don't say you weren't warned. A good club under an honest coach will look further than just...

    You'll have to ask the guys at Cairns Saints that one mate. But tread very carefully as its a sensitive subject among their very sensitive supporter group!!

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Oh saint you saints supporters are trying so hard but just can't seem to piece it together! Never said Powell wasn't a good player, cant recall but may have said a plodder because that's what he is, a good one but a plodder nonetheless. Gill was far and away saints best player this year and had...

    Go the lions!! Will Centrals bounce back or will they just replace the Loions as the whipping boys?

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Plenty of logic attached if you READ my post. Souths got rid of some baggage early in the year which left them short of quality, but it was absolutely the right call. However, I think they were no better than last year, if so it was negligible. There is no way that Souths would have been able to...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    How many games did Dixon play? How many games did Ehlich play? Liddy left and how many players in every club leave? As for the poke at last year being an upset Dr., well I'll let that one thru to the keeper. No way would Norths have beaten Port Douglas last year! No way!! Port were a very very...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Saints have printed off their 2012 Premierships shirts, caps, socks & jocks and have ordered in Johnny Farnham as entertainment at their victory party which is rumored to be hosted by Jason Eagle (for free of course as Saints didnt pay him) who will wheel out Max O'Halloran to make a special...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Again Quagmire of crap...you are wrong! But feel free to complain and report if we hurt your feelings!! Watson's...I'm sorry but Norths have not improved. If Port & Centrals were as string as last season, your would not have made the four. At very best, you maybe may have scraped in for fourth...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Haha had to post nice try mate. #17 is a proven goal kicker so he would jump at the chance to kick a goal. Players cramp sometimes. Even if he was 'putting it on' he'd be far from the first player to do this as its a common thing players do. Don't know how many times I've seen a player go down...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Was disappointed with Norths today. Thought they waved the white flag when they should have lifted. Good players missing when it counted. Ehlich was a good get for them. Three games was it? After Norths convincingly best Hawks earlier at Watsons he was heard saying, and plastered it over his...

    Saints $1.01 Hawks $10 Only way Saints reserves will lose is if they have too many on the field! :eek:

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    He's a full forward, who by nature are all seagulls. They rely on others getting the ball to them, classic seagull. I've for no problem with that as that's a full forwards role. It's not anywhere near as bad as a midfielder being labelled a seagull, which suggests they are scared of the hard...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    No doubt Walshy wouldn't care about a school kid's opinion. And yes he's been good, but I still say he's a flat track bully. Breaking the record is a noble feat however he broke the record in the weakest year the competiton has fielded in some time. Again I use North Cairns as the barometer...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Careful Swaqqa you'll be dobbed in to teacher (site moderator)! The Saints guys have a habit of sooking at opinion if it's about individuals. Not sure why, as that's what I thought this site was for, opinion on all things football. Hawks & Norths will hopefully be a good game, but on form I...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Thinly veiled swing there Dr. Maybe I should cry to the moderator of the site. Saints have been known to bring in a few late season recruits. As well as the pre season binge. I think this is a fantastic idea! Every year teams are allocated points based on their position in the ladder at...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Sants dominance has caused waned interest in this season given the result has been assured for a long time. As Max O'Halloran said in the paper, after last year they went to work right away to ensure they were stronger this year. Interested to see the same article claimed that Hawks win was an...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    It's a funny one to pick. Norths beat Hawks comfortably couple of weeks back, but Hawks weren't at full strength. But the embarrassing effort, or lack there of yesterday must scar the confidence. Richter named best for Norths??? I felt he was outplayed and grossly out coached. I'll tip Hawks...

    AFL Cairns - 2012 Season

    Worst semi final day in memory. 150 points & 77 points. Next week has the chance to half way make up for yesterday with Hawks v Norths for the right to be runners up for season 2012.
