Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
You also have to have Lindsay Thomas though.We could always just buy North, then we get Aaron Black too.
Isn't Fyfe studying to be a pilot? Let's get some experience in the boy! Get him to steal one of the planes.
Here we go ,
I think we should be starting to plan our finals campaign now by having talks with Melbourne clubs that won't take part in finals this year about use of their facilities during the finals .
Namely Melb, ST Kilda, Western bulldogs and possibly Kangaroos .
Now I'm sure the Saints will tell us to Piss Off but the others could use the money .
We travel once every 2 weeks during the home and away games {change from normal this year }
during the finals we will be travelling every week depending on where we finish at the end of home\away.
Should we finish in 6 th or 7th we will fly every week like last year
5th or better we get a home final and then depending on results we could be flying soon after .
So to give ourselves the best chance of success what is the best thing we can change that can help
the team be in the best possible shape .
REDUCE the amount of flying
By doing that our players get more time to recover , get medical or physio sooner and get the sore body's help sooner rather than later .
It takes the boys 3 days to get over flying interstate and then one light training session before they get back on a plane heading back to Melbourne . We saw the results of the flying last year do we need to repeat the same mistake or improve
I know some will say the players won't like not sleeping in their own bed or they will miss family.
They are professionals and yes the wives and partners should be with them but major league baseballers,pro soccer players and cricketers plus other sports have longer away trips than us and they cope so there are my feelings
We'll blame Kepler.What if he crashes it over the Andes?

Fred do you agree or disagree that travel was a big part in our finals campaign last year and the players had reduced time to recover and to freshen up for the Adelaide game .
Instead of flying from Melb to Perth we had stayed in Melb for a couple of days then gone to Adelaide the team would have been in better shape . The reserve\emergency players could have joined the boys in Adelaide and we improved our chances by at least 20%.
The WAFC should buy a facility in Melbourne and provide it for Freo and WC (we are not usually there at the same time)
Oval
sheds
fridge
bottle opener
etc.
None at all Melb Storm head quarters woud do just finewhat's to prevent us from using the facilities of a non Afl club?
The ideal situation would be for Fremantle to build a stadium over there, rent it to the Bulldogs/Kangaroos etc and have all our recovery and preparation there. We could even have a Victorian Docker Football Academy/Our own team in the TAC cup etc.
We just need half a billion dollars.
Collingwood charter a plane when they fly interstate and it is only allowed to fly at low altitude we could do the same .
Did they get foxtel installed in their tin shed?
I thought the afl paid for it.
