Remember when we couldn't win when lids was out?

If he stayed and won a premiership with us, there would've been a statue of him at Punt Road pretty much.

Not sure who will remember him in 30 years after he retires from GWS, even if they do win one.

Lids was quite smarmy, when he gave us a back handed compliment on the news tonite. According to him, we're playing better than expected.
Is that right Lids?
You never considered the blokes you played with were that good?
You're shyting us ain't ya?

Lids leaving was the greatest thing that happened to the club.

put rance and floss on him

Markov would run rings around him. dont waste Vlas on 4th string forwards.

Doeant make a difference until the draft.

Shake up of the board and coaching staff has been the real factor. Without that we wouldn't be playing finals this season.

Would have struggled with lids not in the side though

He'll probably get dropped because they don't want to drop Stevie "should have retired when Geelong dropped me kick chasing" J.

No way lids gets dropped. He's looked very classy, I can see why they went for him as that high HF role. He'll do a lot of damage and will be hard to match up on. GWS are a good chance I reckon

I thought it was win-win him leaving.

Have no idea what goes on at the club, but as good as he was - couple of older heads out, some keen young blood in - suddenly there's a different vibe, players who haven't been part of failed finals or false dawns.

As for the man himself, was a model of consistency before his body started to crumble, perfect icing (in theory) for a team like GWS. Might pay off for him, but as it turns out we're probably just as good of a chance. I don't hate him for it though.

I think you are correct it just baffles me Stevie J is anywhere near that team and will possibly cost them a flag.

I heard Lids had a poster of himself on his bedroom wall as a kid and still does to this day

I heard it was Townsend

Don't reckon they'll play Stevie. Stunk it up badly in the loss to the hoops. Didn't get near it
