This is so true... Sammy would hit the ball hard as a lead up CHF and then turn around and smash it to the young Lance Whitnall on the lead. Then there was also the fact that he tackled like a ton of bricks. After Sammy left, we were left with a very young pairing in Fevola and Livingston.
If it is true what AndyLucimitis said about the lack of professionalism at the blues when Sammy left, then that would have also stemmed from the attitudes of the board of the day. They were more interested in spending big money on acquiring or retaining a few aging stars and getting their names put on new stands at Princes Park than actually investing into the club. If they had put more effort into the footballing department, then the club wouldn't have been in such dire straights a couple of years later.
Yep. 99 Prelim. There I said it.except.......you know............

No, he said Sammy was surprised at the lack of professionalism at the Saints compared to the Blues.

Then when he got to the scum*, he did his hamstring badly (shredded it apparently) and it took him the better part of the 2 years to recover... only ended up playing the better part of a season there I think (19 games in 2 years). Which is pretty much what we offered him anyway. And the money was the same as what we actually offered as well.

must have misread it then... will go back for another look.
Can confirm - Hamill had come from a Carlton club, which at the time, was steeped in success and demanded success. When he went to the Saints he felt they didn't have this drive for success - more laid back and I think he even made a comment that when Blighty came on board they only trained a 2 or 3 nights a week.
“I think Juddy signing on for another year is tremendous,” Simpson said.
“I’ve got two years left on my contract and after that who knows. I’m going to be doing everything in my power, and dragging as many blokes with me as I can, to get this club where it should be: up the top.”
You're a legend, Simmo!

IMO should have been given the captaincy after Judd. Bleeds navy blue and on the field he is an extremely leader. Not a pot shot at Murph just think that Simmo would have been a fantastic captain for 4-5 years after Judd

Our Bryce came 27th in Mike Sheahan's end of season top 50, which i wouldn't mind so much, if he wasn't behind the likes of Pearce Hanley, whom i feel had a decent season, but not ad consistently good as Gibbsy .
Debate between Red Rock Deli & Kettle causing massive divides between the playing group............probably the real reason for our 0-4 start
FWIW I'm on the Red Rock bandwagon

Don't think Gibbs has "Mike Sheahans top 50" on his resume

Goes to show how irrelevant his top 50 is
Always has been and always will be!
