Totally agree, a rotten game that was. St.Kilda supporters that night were unbearable and in the preliminary final where they were talking about where to line up for grand final tickets at 3/4 time, oh the look on their faces as we were slamming on the goals in the last qtr was unforgettable!Originally Posted by goswannie14
I miss Schneider
I don't intend to be sticking any boot anywhere by saying that if not 2009 then at some stage in the next 1-3 years we would have to fall down the ladder. There are 16 (soon more) teams, every team has made the finals at least once since the draft came in. Sometime it will be our turn to miss out.
I also hope we do, because I don't want to come 9th every year like Richmond (or 5th - 8th even). With exciting young talent already at the club in the 18-23 year range and some first round draft picks over the next four years - we could build for a premiership some time in the next decade.
Possibly we could build for a premiership and still make the finals every year, but is that realistic? Can we win a premiership without some new top 10 draft picks at the club?
I'm excited about 2009 - excited about the youth and not worrying to much about the results.
Incy Wincy Schneider went up a water spout?
I miss 2005
you know what they say, dirty pants- clean botty
Theo Dimwit called us ugly.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
He was right about some of us.
"Build it and they will come" was the theory. Seems most are keeping away, and it's sadly out of date.

at the end of 2002....
Kirk, J Bolton, C Bolton, Barry, O'keefe, Goodes, Kennelly were avg players at best.
We lost Dunkley, Schwass, Kelly, Lockett, Nicks was on the way down...as was schauble and prob couple others.
This gave the opportunity for the others to step up and they did..took us to a HOME prelim... just lacked the experience to get over the finals hardened Lions.
This year there's a chance for many to stepup...some who have been on the list for 3-4years...similar to O'keefe, Kennelly etc at the time.
In 2009 under the guidance of Roos Kirk, Goodes and Bolton the swans will confound the critics again many times...how far can we go? Who knows.

Who knows what will happen this year? The early signs are not good, but we havent kicked a ball in anger yet and footy is a funny game. My expectations are low, but I am really looking forward to seeing some young blokes get a real chance this year, and hopefully seeing players like Jack, Bird, Vespa etc kicking on.
I'm not going to make any predictions on where we will end etc, but I think we will have a good year and who knows what might happen?
I like that piece of writing....what good thoughts to take to bed.
