Kids these days are soft, look at them all holding their phones up. In my day we couldn't control our hands enough to find our phones let alone point them accurately towards the DJs while they check their emails.
Full agree mate!
Same with fireworks, the shit is boring enough as is let alone worth watching back on an iPhone
 
Stevie G was just unceremoniously dumped as Villa manager barely into the season with the club not even in the relegation zone.

No one cares, no one calls into question the club culture, they simply see it as a club determined for greater success.

This is where we need to get to, it's just business.

Bet Merrick won't be out moaning about it either.

I mean the norm smith medallist being on gear that was banned a few weeks later didn't help either

Just to nitpick, wasn't gear.

The blood spinning he went through aided in recovery of soft tissue and general metabolic questions, of which he had quite a bit of issues with his calves and hammies, (hence the awareness in the first that he played though) that WADA and by association all sporting codes went "yeah nah, this is patently unfair from October after we tested that this is borderline eugenics".

So it was more, lets say airation of blood then reinjected to aid in recovery rather than "pop dese pills" or "stab dis muscle with dis juice" as it was his own blood, it was just, you know, tainted if the match was say 14 days later.

Exactly my point yesterday. Nicely timed. Changing Managers in soccer is like changing your jocks. A daily occurrence…..well, with most people.

I still remember Nottingham were top 3 in their league and going really well and they fired their manager because they perceived a "better" manager was available - they literally fired a performing manager for an upgrade.

Then the sacked Manager bobs up at another club shortly after. After receiving a pay out! It’s worth getting sacked. Money is good!
 
Any chance Andy Brayshaw does a zac dawson and wants to play for Rossy
 
We get LYON.....Questionable Sex Advances
We get HIRD.....Substances Abuse

All we need now is Rock n Roll....Damn! ...Should have got De GOEY.....................The SAINTS have always been a bit Sex Drugs and Rock n'Roll!
Should help fill the Danny FRAWLEY centre!:think:

3pm, no media release e-mail has been sent out. It's a wrap for this week. Enthralling stuff, almost 7000 posts in a week, has to be one of our most popular threads.

I will monitor the inbox for anything that comes through over the weekend and next week and keep you guys in the loop if nothing is leaked publicly until then.
This thread has been wild
 
Gee in 24 hours we have gone from Whateley slaying us to Kingy adoring us on SEN.

How quickly the media changes.
Nah, Kingy is doing what he loves doing best; talking up a club way too much so he go to town on them when they don't live up to his standards.

A master of the disingenuous.

Couldn’t agree more.

The way the AFL media industry go on after a sacking, you’d think the club that has done it has committed a murder.

It’s such a fishbowl compared to other sports when it comes to media. They are all mates with the coaches so can’t make tough calls when writing.

You read the main board thread about Ratts and you see this hand-wringing around any coach that is sacked has spread to the fans as well. It’s ridiculous.

I’ve shared this article a few times but it best illustrates just how cushy a job is for AFL coaches compared to other professional sports.

 
If there was any doubt about Ross being appointed that removes it, King and the rest of the players must have got the word that he's their new coach.

Let's not forget that max has an identical twin brother who also grew up idolising the last ross lyon saints era.

If ross gets us up and about, suddenly ben starts thinkin it's time to fulfill destiny and win a saints flag with his bro?
 
Either its a done deal.. In which case the announcement you are all waiting for is just a full stop at the end of the sentence. ( the kind that makes young people feel threatened ).
Or.
Its not happening , in which case the local universe will explode.
 
I've got a funny feeling Max is going to have a wake up call. He's been coasting along so far on the value of his potential, the highlights of his short career and the fact that he's a Saints man through and through. That's not going to be enough for Ross. No sacred cows in the Lyon cage.
