Re: correct me if i am mistaken

You're mistaken... Walsh has been promised a rumoured 70% pay increase, which we could not possibly offer & has had his mate, & 2008 All Ireland Championship winning teammate, Tadhg Kennelly in his ear all season

The only mistake the club has made was taking Tom Lynch at pick 13 in 2008 draft (yes i know luck plays a role too)! If you google that draft, you will find some gems of similar size that went later than Lynch that would fit quite nicely at our club right now, ie: Jackson Trengove(22), Shaun McKernan(28), Mitch Robinson (40)

Also, may i add that just because you dominate the VFL, it does not guarantee you will be a good AFL player... Just ask Shane Valenti, Rod Crowe, Chad Liddell etc etc

Guys, just ignore this clown....is just trying to get a rise (like every other post!)
 
Re: correct me if i am mistaken

this week we lost:

A promising irish recruit
who we made come to Australia with the promise of AFL
yet didnt play him, while he played well in the reserves
while justin was getting games? i mean please
Great job Stkilda

A first round draft choice
who has played only 6 games in three years
has dominated the VFL affiliate side for three years
great job stkilda

the key thing here is that both of these players asked for a trade! even when the club wanted them to stay, what does that say about our football club
What does that say about our football club? Absolutely nothing, particularly in Lynch's case. He couldn't have been more useless out there.

What can it possibly say about the club. It was ultimately Ross Lyon's decision not to play those guys and if havn't noticed he's not our coach any more.
 
Re: correct me if i am mistaken

So for 2 players that played 6 games between them and showed 2/3 of SFA we got picks 35, 37 and 68.

Not bad.

Considering we picked up Tommy Ledger with a pick in the 50's and Siposs with a pick in the 70's.

Will have to wait a few years to see who wins these trades but I think we did pretty well considering one player didn't want to be here and the other had hardly shown anything.
