Interesting that Patton's peaking at the right time, yet Cameron's dropped off a cliff

GWS 0.7% behind Geelong. Wonder if they will get above them in the next few minutes?

 

[danstar]

36 goals from boomer this year and he gets delisted im still stunned

 

[electricfeel]

We have never developed any player into a star they always either come with their skills or they are spuds and we are unable to change them

Fyfe????

They have 1 less win so no

 

[danstar]

Fyfe????

Fyfe was already skilled

Doh. That's what happens when you forget you're looking at a live ladder.

Sandi?

Geez North - should have retired L Thomas and given Boomer an extension.

 

[danstar]

Sandi?

We fluked it with sandi

And is among North's best again today.

But we wouldn't play much of next year anyway, a 2012 finals repeat is looking likely atm...

It's a silly whinge, because no one recruits a spud in the hope that they can turn them into a star.
But anyway, Sandilands would fit the criteria.
And Taberner might in the future, along with any other rookies that have turned into good footballers.

 

[Schauermann]

Fiorini from Gold Coast now has 28 disposal, 2 goals, 11 tackles. Pretty decent first game...

 

[Admiral Byng]

where are North Melbourne at?

 

[danstar]

where are North Melbourne at?

Will be out 1st week of finals

 

[Clems Knee]

So if Hawthorn win tomorrow, they will jump to third position and play Geelong. Sydney will play GWS as a NSW derby final. Adelaide will have the easy game playing North Melbourne, and West Coast will play Western Bulldogs at home.
If Hawthorn decided to lose to Collingwood - then Western Bulldogs woulld play Hawthorn and West Coast would play North Melbourne.

It won't matter what the Bullies do. Please let Pav win...

Unless Bulldogs could beat Fremantle by enough to increase their percentages above West Coasts - I think 12% in the last game would be unprecedented smashing?

 

[danstar]

Bulldogs would have to win by around 200 to get enough percentage

 

[Sweetback]

go pies. yay.

If they beat you 250-50 then they go above us by .2 of a percent.

Yah dont mind the hawks lost. I think NM can beat eagles.

166 DT points. Holy shit!

Yeah, pretty much just making up the numbers, as we've all been saying for a few weeks now.

I don't suppose there is much chance of the Saints wining by 300+ to get above them on percentage.

 

[estibador]

Bulldogs would have to win by around 200 to get enough percentage

So a decent chance then.

The way you handle and treat a player and how you communicate a message to them is all part of development and with that said, we have developed Michael Walters nicely.
Many on this board have been critical of Ross holding back youngsters last year. It can certainly be argued they are as good as they are now because we did not play them before they were ready; those players include Blakely, Weller, Langdon and even though we rested him late in the season, it includes Alex Pearce.
Sometimes people are critical of the club for the sake of it.
We have developed plenty of players with very few failures in recent years.

 

[Clems Knee]

Ok. I think we are safe. Don't think Bulldogs will consider 12 goal wins each quarter to be possible. I certainly wouldn't want to sit through that. It would be a slap in the face for Pav.

Saints would have to beat Brisbane by even more to dislodge North Melbourne.
