That's fine mate, but don't use former players with great reputations to extend your ego. Surely you have more talent than that? Well, so you tell us all.........regularly.

Are you playing the role of forum cop.? Copying your mate Twizzle
(Whilst I mightn't agree with your opinion, I'll defend to the death your right to express it)
Are you the one who decides what can be posted or can't be posted?
Is YOUR opinion the only one that counts...Surely you have more talent than that? Well, so you tell us all................regularly.

6) J.Smith
7) T.Smith
8) Cayless (C)
9) Drew
10) Stringer

It's funny that no-one has brought up who our best coach of the decade would be. I think Brian Smith would have to be it. Couldn't consider Hagan. Anderson has only been here this year, although getting a GF in the first year is nothing to poo poo.

If both teams played the same way they did in their respective grand finals, I believe the 2009 team would win, but it wouldnt be by much.

Six and seven are the biggest issues. There has been no one that has consistently held the role in nine seasons that could really be considered a standout. Robson and Mortimer have probably been as consistent this year as Buettner/Taylor, Morris/Smith and Finch/Smith.

i'm not here to have a fight ... just thought it interesting that smithy is considered a failure, but ando isn't - yet at the top level their GF win loss record is pretty similar

and i'm definitely not trying to bring ando down - i am loving him as our coach
