Re: Not over yet . . .

They have to re-open it, Cam Smith just won the Herald Sun afl tipping for 2010 and they have to find a way to strip that as well.

Re: You've got to love Finchy

If the situation was reversed, would they be accepting of us suggesting that we had missed the finals because of a loss to them?  By the way raiders fans, I hope you enjoyed the two losses we dished out to you, I know I did!

someone needs to make mr gauci aware of the history and tradition behind the cowbells, they are a part of the atmosphere at storm games!

Re: First XIII of First 13 Years

Fair enough then, I'll bow to public opinion and switch Izzy to no.2 and Marcus Bai to no.5.

Better steer clear of 55, I don't think he'd want to remember that tackle too fondly.

Re: Player ratings

Agree with you all here.  Sika and hinchy in particular, how good were they?  Sika's run down the outside in the first half was one of the most exciting pieces of play by a storm player all year.

Re: First XIII of First 13 Years

A petty good side.  But you would have Lazo instead of White. Gave Whitey the nod based on longevity in storm colours.  Lazarus was a hard one to leave out I'll admit. Hate to say it guys but you're all wrong on one position - Marcus MUST be named at #5!!!  :lol: He would never wear a jersey with #...

Re: Wanted...Prop Forwards. No spuds to apply.

Garret Crossman,  was handy for us when he was here 3 years ago, seems to be in reasonable form and I can't imagine he'd be that expensive.  Worth approaching for next year to bolster our front row stocks?
