Vlastuin, Grimes, Astbury, Townsend, McIntosh, Lambert, Grigg, Houli, Graham, Broad, Castagna, Edwards, Butler, Ellis and Rioli.

That's an astounding list of C-grade footballers.

Aside from Rioli, 14 bog average footballers.
Yep and all of them will probably be in a GF.

Obviously a lot of that is down to them being carried by Martin, Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt, but Hardwick has got everything he could out of those players this year and many of them have played important roles. I think I heard on the weekend that they had 7 or 8 players in the team with less than 50 games experience. This season really has been an outstanding coaching and tactical effort from their staff and should provide something of a wake up call to a lot of other coaches in the AFL, including our own.

You reckon.

Will be hard to forget that moment. Poor bugger.
AFL is all that will matter to that kid later on. TAC cup is just a development league in the end. He won't realize that now. He's got talent.

I know the Owens kid played on a youngin' in the last but would be interested to see what he's like when he fills out.

But I thought everyone's a winner with 69. :confusedlook.
Sadly with the number 69 it is the team that lands on that number that suffers. That's because they start thinking of sex and not winning a game of football. It's no coincidence that the greatest ever comeback is from a 69 point deficit in VFL/AFL Football. :stern look
 

Heaps of fun

Is he even going to get drafted? First time I've noticed his name.

It will be their undoing.

A group of C graders can quickly become E graders.

The Saints saw it first hand.
