by Josh Barnstable
St Kilda:
So close, yet so far was the story for St Kilda in 2009. 22 wins from 25 games but failed on the big stage against Geelong. That hurt them. It hurt them more then any other premiership loss would have hurt any other club. They have a great team that so many people failed to rate before 2009. The forward line is great, Nick Riewoldt and Justin Koschitzke form a great goalkicking duo, while crumbers Stephen Milne and Adam Schneider will be looking to redeem themselves after wasting many opportunities on Grand Final day. Untried trio Tommy Walsh, Tom Lynch and Andrew Lovett will also play a role in the forward line in 2010, and Brett Peake may be a dangerous crumber at times. The midfield is strong, Lenny Hayes is durable, while Nick Dal Santo and Clint Jones have plenty of class. Andrew McQualter came of age in 2009, Jack Steven showed potential, David Armitage should get a few games and the likes of Brendon Goddard, Leigh Montagna, Farren Ray and Jason Gram should find it easy to get a game. Michael Gardiner and Steven King form a dangerous duo in the Ruck, with Gardiner showing he has the ability to go forward and kick goals. Adam Pattison was recruited in the draft as a back-up option if King or Gardiner go down with injury or suspension. The back half was sensational in ’09, but the question remains if they can keep it up in 2010. Zac Dawson was a revelation at Full Back, he got plenty of support from Sam Fisher, Sam Gilbert, Jason Blake and Steven Baker. The recruitment of Jesse Smith was an absolute steal, you f***** thieves! I would like to see the Saints go that one step further, but I guess they would then be two premiership’s behind North Melbourne’s total of four, and with the Saints known as the worst team in football historically, that doesn’t show well for my team.
My prediction:
Leading goalkicker: Nick Riewoldt
Best and Fairest: Lenny Hayes
Sydney Swans:
The ugly ducklings finally look set to becoming the Swans that they are, with the arrival of John Longmire in the main seat coming in a couple of years, the recruitment of Daniel Bradshaw, Lewis Jetta, Gary Rohan and Byron Sumner, the Swans already look faster, stronger and more exciting on paper. The forward line took some major blows in 2009, but they were coming and it heralded a new start, Hall is gone, O’Loughlin is gone, Schneider left at the end of 2007, that’s three main goalkickers from the Swans’ premiership days. Jesse White has major potential; Adam Goodes showed he had more strings in his bow, capable of playing at Centre-Half Forward and first-round draft pick Lewis Johnston is finally fit and raring to go. Throw in Rohan and Jetta, plus Ryan O’Keefe and Pat Veszpremi, that forward line is better than one that would boast both a fit Hall and O’Loughlin. The midfield is, as always, blue-collar workers. Jude Bolton, Jarrad McVeigh, Brett Kirk and O’Keefe lead a strong, young midfield such as Kieren Jack, Craig Bird, Dan Hannebery, Brett Meredith, Ed Barlow and the Hawthorn recruits, Josh Kennedy and Ben McGlynn. Jarred Moore has been around for a while, but is starting to become a great player, while the likes of Marty Mattner and Tadhg Kennelly will play up through the midfield from the defence. This is where the question mark lays for the Swans. Craig Bolton is one of their most important players, Lewis Roberts-Thomson is skilled but doesn’t make the back of the Sydney Morning Herald. Perhaps LRT would be better suited up forward, where Johnston could possibly take up the Centre-Half Back post. Mattner is fast becoming one of the most important playmakers for the Swans, while the return of a fit Kennelly will help tremendously. In the Ruck, there was major panic for a while after Darren Jolly packed his bags and went to the Lexus Centre, but with the arrival of the skilled Shane Mumford and the out-of-favour Eagle Mark Seaby, as well as White and the development of Daniel Currie, the Ruck stocks are refreshed, young and strong. The Swans are set for a big season, if Paul Roos employs an attacking-style of play, Bradshaw, Goodes etc. will be getting on the end of plenty of goals.
My prediction:
Leading goalkicker: Daniel Bradshaw
Best and Fairest: Adam Goodes
Tomorrow: West Coast and the Western Bulldogs

Gee u guys are all pretty! i think ur jst to shy to make the first move or too picky with who you want to choose that you dont see whats going on. lol
lol “Lewis Roberts Thomson is skilled but doesn’t make the back page of the Sydney Morning Herald”, that’s a new one although I thought Sydney’s main paper was the Daily telegraph.
..steve U TOOK COMMENT SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!
:(
oh well, theres no need to worry about that now that we’re together Danni
Hmm when i was with a girl at school everyone was telling me to kiss her and stuff but i was way too scared too so i didnt lol.

Hmm probably North since they have gone 12 years without a Premiership flag compared to geelong’s 4 and I am eager to see some of North’s young players.
I’d dedicate “Cold as Ice” to you Danni lol kidding.
any song by the Jonas brothers or Elvis, Danni
I wanna see Ryan Bastinac play, but probably wont be able to coz he’ll be pinging around the field too quick for my eyes
LMAOOO DAMO!! hahahhahahaha!! LMAOOO

hot dayum!!! lol Josh
interesting choice Steve..why did u go for a slow song?
Yeah Steve, Danni likes them fast :P
because it represents our love for each other in many ways
mmmmm fair enough.
i would have dedicated-
‘the way u make me feel” by MJ
thats a real dancefloor filler!
If Danni never feels satisfied with Steve just pull out one of Lily Allen’s songs lol.

Not really, he had a big wind up in his speech and just shouted a few famous words at the end.
Coz there are code red fire warnings right where i am, and we’re being told to evacuate the house either tonight or early tomorrow

Lol k cya
The Blues have given out their numbers, with Henderson and McLean recieving 23 and 7 respectively. Kane Lucas got number 24, there are no changes with the experienced players.
A Carlton man has been charged with assault in Adelaide over the christmas break. Damo?? Lol nah Adam Hartlett
Gday guys,
I just watched the newest Harry potter movie then for the first time. its ok.
Jack Watts looking good on the AFL website
By the way, I went to sleep at almost 4 last night, and woke up at 1:20 today, so im a bit confused
The AFL website is looking good, the new red banner suits.
I went to sleep at 4:30, and woke up at 9. I watched all of the match last night.
Hey guys,
Yeah nobody will wear Fev’s number 25 for the Blues next year, hey it’s Adelaide he should be rewarded lol kidding.
Yeah the hottest night on record last night, I watched the match as well but managed to get to sleep at 2:30.
I’m guessing you didn’t have to evacuate Josh?
Actually, i sat on the couch last night watching the game and kept spraying the spray bottle into the fan and it was terrific, i actually got the shivers at some points.
Nah, knowing my family, we would only evacuate when the fire had already done the damage.
It’s pretty windy at the moment, and smokey, not as hot as yesterday but still pretty bad. Did you guys get my email?
Oh and about the Collingwood v West Coast replay tonight from 2001, can anyone tell me if its a match worthy of staying up and watching?
I was watching another show with my brother and sister until 2:45, and then I watched a bit of the game and then went to bed and read for a while.
Yeah Josh, that powerpoint looks great, its gonna take a while to do all the clubs
Actually Josh it’s Collingwood v North Melbourne and you should stay up for it!!
Sav Rocca kicked the winning goal for the Roos and his brother Anthony missed in the dying seconds and the Roos held on by two points.
Yeah I got the powerpoint, a good summary on the Crows.
I’ve tried making one of these powerpoints before but never got past Collingwood
Oh my bad, must have mis-read it. Yeah i’ll stay up for it then
Yeah, its Collingwood V North, followed by Bulldogs V Carlton from R3 1999
Oh that’s right Coll v WCE was on this morning after the Ess v WCE game.
Steve, i’ve noticed your sister has a weird obsession with the number five
yeah, I dont really get that lol
Josh go on FB
..WHAT!!
WHAT TIME DOES IT START!!??

Steve- Harry Potter gets better with evry movie. loved tha last one.

Well Murphy’s will leave the door open for players in the NAB Cup although I’m concerned that he might not be fully fit come round 1 with Judd altready out of the side.
What type of car do you have Danni? Ford? Holden?

status- still drinking ice-tea
Envy me!! :)
coffee machines, arent they only avaliable on spaceships?
Nah Steve will be like “hey get off your dentin the car!! Danni get out so they dont climb all over the car” lol
I had ice tea yesterday, drank it in like 30 seconds lol.
Do you know much about your grandad’s commentary career Steve?
Since when have I become a retard? lol
You always were
He commentated footy on 3GL in the 50’s and 60’s, he was a pretty prolific radio broadcaster back then, he even broke some record where he did a radio marathon, he was on for 4 straight days or something
lol Josh.
thats pretty cool, 4 straight days…
hmmm, lets just say your treading water Barnstable
Steve, are u gonna wear a suit?
The guys from Shepparton always try and stay on radio for a while, they even get tatoos while doing a broadcast lol its funny.
What do you call an italian girl? Muzzarette?
Just like Gawn, Healy
nahh Josh u call em Marias! lol
nah sorry Danni, im gonna wear shorts and a t shirt, ive never worn a suit in my life.
oh yeah thats the old Geelong station. 4 days straight!!! what could you talk about for 96 hours?
By the way having a coffee machine doesn’t mean you’re loaded!
lol well i bet u would scrubb up nicely if u did steve. :P
Ohh ok..
Why would you wear a suit in this weather? No offence, but im sure your grandfather would like you being comfortable instead of being all squirmish and hot in a suit
Talk about footy for 96 hours, easy :P
its cooled down in Melbourne Josh.
Gawn can walk from here to Antarctica like I told you hahaha
178- about the coffee machine- THANKYOU I AGREE, NOW tell that to healy and Barnstable
Yeah it was an amazing feat,
anyway guys ive gotta go now, I’d stay on if I could, but im playing some backyard cricket with my brother and afterwards ill be going out, so ill be back later tonight if your all still on. I wish everyone the best, I guess.
I just dont see why u need a coffee machine? What’s so bad about the kettle? Its like having a dishwasher instead of doing the dishes, their’s more work in having a dishwasher
I’ll be on until the game finishes tonight/tomorrow.
Have a good one, i think, Steve
..i do have a dishwasher. and with the kettel u cant make the froth!
..kk cya Stevey
Actually, now that you mention it, i’m gonna go make some hawt chocolate
Cya Steve.
Josh having those appliances doesn’t mean you’re rich Josh, I mean I’m well off but were not exactly millionaires, it’s just more convenient and I’m sure Danni would say the same.
i think i have said this many time and heres another-
Damo i agree.
:)
….guys
WATCHED..NEWS…FEDERER..IN…MELBOURNE..
HERE…NOW..OMG…GASP!…EPPPP…
….
;)
Status – went to get a hawt chocolate, ended up doing the dishes, having tea and watching Neighbours.
Oh and i just found my prep photos, now im gonna try and find old friends on FB
status- currenlty squealing at the fact my tennis hero is here…
*SQUEALSSSSSSSSSSSS*
Yeah well i mopped the house and cleaned the bathroom and put out a load of washing!
lol i’m a good housewifeyyy!! :p
Jeez, according to my prep photos, my best friends were all girls. Jeez i was a playa back then.
NAWWW hahahahhahah little Joshyy! :P
lol
Its sad to see that all the little girls looking all innocent in those photos are the main sluts of Numurkah these days
tell me about it!
dont forget i go to a girls school!
seriously the number of times i sing under my breath to get a message across to a friend when one of the girls i can’t stand is playing up…
“you’re the pride of every fake that comes around, this messed up town.”
i tell ya i have seen it all, at girl schools its all betching and backstabbing, you cant trust many people.
If theres one thing im not its fake. I cant stand people who are fake it just pisses me off. which is why if I don’t like someone I won’t act all nice because I don’t like them. why should i be all nice if im really thinking otherwise in my head.
im polite when I need to be but I would just love for one of them to cross the line once..
Yeah our generation is messed up.
Wooh!! I take back comment 603 on the Port Adelaide and Richmond thread, im goin outside for a kick! :)
Hmm there’s this girl at school and she’s pretty but she always has a fake voice thats really high, chirpy, girly and plain annoying, yet when she’s being ‘real’ her voice is sorta normal but she puts on her squeeky voice to fit in with the cool group of girls
..ohh god.
lol i dont even know this chick and i already dont like her!
well atleast u didnt have to hear a cetain girl asking her friend if she should fake a preganacy to see her bfs reaction..and im talking she like declared it in the hallway. i was there trying to get some books rolling my eyes. like why would u say something like that in public!!??
Why would someone even consider that?!
It’s too wet outside for me to have a kick, fancy that in the middle of summer.
Damo i have no idea but i do know that i cant stand that girl.
on a brighter note-
http://player.video.news.com.au/heraldsun/#1383290826
*SQUEALSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
:)
:D
Now thats what i call a tennis champ in training!! :)
I’d prefer watching Maria Sharapova aside from the constant grunting.
each to thier own Damo.
i cant believe Roger is HERE..AS IN HERE, HERE!! :)
and he looks so relaxed in training.
amazing
status- watching Federer training vid for third time.
knock on wood, its great to see him so fit! :)
Maria Sharapova is champ of another kind lol.
Are you planning to see any of the matches, the tickets for the main games are extremely expensive.
Footy’s in the tree again :(
I did the worst thing could u do, i grabbed the ball, bounced it, then took my eyes off it and didnt see where it was heading. I felt quite sick after that, wasnt a good way to start lol.
Now im gonna go sit outside with mum drinking lemonade coz its like 25 degrees
…Damo dont go there..my parents wont take me.
:(
Next year i will camp outside the arena with Candy.
is there even any chance of knowing who is playing on the day that u have tickets before hand?
ROGER FEDERER- Simply the best!! :)
..ohhh i cant wait for his next press conference!!!!!!! :)
accent = adorable!!!
I really dont see what u see in him
Josh, which tennis player do you admire the most?
I admire a few, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Jo Wilfred Tsonga. I’d saw Hewitt, but i think he’s still too arrogant
I think Hewitt is past his prime as well, I reckon it’s been about six or seven years since he last won a major grand slam.
How long until your tennis season starts again?
We start on Janurary 30, hopefully the hot weather would have passed by then.
I hope so too, but late Jan-February always seems to be the warmest period of time.
Anyway I’m off to watch that Austin Powers movie.
What do i see in him?
well i will tell u
1. great hair
2. great smile
3. great serve
4. awesome forehand
5. how he is so cool but at the same time concentrates and gives it his all
6. he’s humble
7. he’s fashionable
8. his presence on the court
9. the way the ball spins so cleverly off his racket
10. the way he gets those really tricky hits that get my reactions of “omgg Roger you legend!!!”
11. the way he leaves me shaking my head at the unexpected accurate shots the takes.
12. whats not to like?
:)
..i miss my boyfriend! :(
Hmmm. You have a strange taste in men Danielle.
Hmm im sure Joe’s havin fun at the moment..oh you meant Steve?? lol
ohhh and
13. his accent
14. the fact that he is the ambassador of Lint chocolate
15. The RF symbol, love it its clever!! :)
okay now im done.
lol yeah ill bet joe is..
yes i meant steve. lol
Speaking of, is the tennis on tonight?
..hmm i dont know
im just looking forward to the footy.
lol ill bet Steve is happy, got himself an older woman. LMAOO
Lol who knows who and what he’s doing right now Danni.

You WOULD waste it on telling him to go to Waaia? NAWWWW THANKS DANNI!! :) :)
…damn it..i mean i WOULD NOT, NOT NOT NOT.
Would you tell him that your already taken, Danni? lol
if i could tell him something i would tell him how much i admire him as a player and why i admire him. and i would ask him about his childhood and why he plays. i woudl also recite that list i made about him before.
lol Steve i doubt Roger Federer, father of 2, happily married, world number one would look at me that way!
to him im no more than an adoring fan! :)
im an adoring fan of yours Danni
Really Steve..i thought u wouldn’t like a Collingwood supporter.
neither did I…
Anyone want a good song to download? On A Friday by Blaqk Audio

lol so what exactly are u a fan of?
i dont play tennis, im not a rockstar…
hmmm ill take a look at the lyrics

Joshy, it seems a bit too punkrock for my liking..
Its not punk-rock
lol really? that what i felt from the lyrics.
ipod- unchanged from b4.
:) i loveee this songggggggg
Its like electro-dance sorta, i dunno, just download it!
Drake Bell… reminds me of Daniel Bell.
GO DEES!
lol..he does?
have u seen that video yet Steve?
Drake’s one.
its my fav of all time! its so classic and theres this one part..i love it so much as a media student where the cam in on a low angle pointing up at him with this ray of white light and hes sorta looking down. it goes past quick but i love it :)
haha Austin Powers was a funny movie.

Nah who knows what or who she’s doing lol
hahaha that line will go down in history along with im off now cya and my wallaby story
And the delicious line!
im off now cya
Its cold and raining
its pretty cold and windy here
So, i presume you are all gonna have a go at that Fair Shake Of The Sauce Bottle contest?
omg u guys!!
i was
up till 4:30am!!
watched the whole game last night, soo bloody good!! got teary seeing Jimmy Clement hit Didaks on the chest for his first afl goal :(
and Tarkyn!! omggg he was such a muffin!!!!
*squeals*
so then at about 3:30 it finished so i hit the hay..then dad calls from the lounge saying theres a replay of the anzac day match on fox sports.
me-“NAHHHH im soo tired”
SO I STAY In bed for like two minutes and then DAD teases me so bad he starts naming players hes like “danielle, look, ahhh, MEDHURST, DIDAK”
-danni still in bed
dad- “BROWN, ANTHONY…”
THATS IT IM COMING!!
so we watched that from the 3rd up to the last 15 mins of the final cos dad was falling asleep and so he said,
“maybe we should hit the hay while the boys are still in the lead so it feels like WE won!” LOL
SO yeah i had a late night and then i woke up this morning feel sick. i have a huge headache and stomach ache.
so yeah..thats about it really.
Haha what did i tell you Steve?
I was drifting in and out of dreamy land while the last 10 minutes were on, but luckily i witnessed Rocca’s goal and Rocca’s miss. As soon as the siren went, i went to sleep then got woke up at 4:30 by Mum
hahahah I was up till almost 4:30 last night
did u SEE LAIDLEY!! IN BLACK AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!
you could just imagine my reaction..
if u cant here it was
“OMGGGGGGGGG LAIDLEY IN THE COLLINGWOOD BOX WITH MICK..OMGGGG! AWW HES SOO CUTEEEEE, HE SOO PRETTY!!
*SQUEALS*
Ahahahaha i remember when they showed Laidley and i was like “omg i wonder if Danni noticed that…”
hmmm I shouldve watched some of the match
Josh…ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i noticed alright!
talk about Dyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiinnnggggggggggg
we shoulda keept him!! :( damn!
how cute was his reaction on the siren its like fast forward from learning from Mick and the next thing he was coaching North!
nawwwwwwwww! :)
omg Steve u missed out sooooooooooooo bad it was soo bloody good!!
:)
lol Josh did u see when Bucks kept slapping Carey on the cheek!! LMAOO i was pissing myself! it was soo funny.
Hahahahah yeah that was funny, its a pity you get reported or a free kick against you for that these days. I would like to point out that Carey won that fight..
dude who cares?
WE HAD LAIDLEY!!!! IN OUR COACHES BOX
IN BLACK AND WHITE!!
:)
that topped off my night.
How good was Sav’s goal!? Tarrant was pretty good too.
yeah i know.
it felt so weird watching it though.
i felt kinda sad…
I must admit i reminiscsed a bit when Grant kicked those goals. How come the Roos are so good at beating the Pies from a big deficit? Like the match last night, Round 19 of 2005, Round 5 of 2008, Round 7 of 2010..
im not sure but u guys always come out firing against us…annoyingly! lol
the game last night was a ripper.
there was so much desperation and hunger in it.
When i saw Malloy and Nick Davis i had the biggest grin on my face. then it hit me how long ago that happend and that one day players like daisy, Superman, Didak will eventually leave too, then i felt really old.
I told you guys that was a good game to watch!
Did you see Shannon Grant’s goal to put the Roos within a couple of points? that was a ripper.
Yeah last night was Didak’s first match
Yeah Grant’s goal was terrific, didn’t top the goals he kicked in Round 19, 2005 against the Pies. Oh and worst on ground for last night? Digby Morrell. And i was surprised at how well Stuart Cochrane played. (Looks like we got a new kid on the Almanac..)
Damo :)
i saw the whole thing.
brought back memories and i felt so sad and happy at the same time watching it.
lol Didak was i think 18 and kicked his first goal..of many to come might i add! :)
loved every bit.
Don’t remind me about Grant in the 1999 Grand Final!
Danni I think Laidley was there crying with Mick at the end of the 2002 Grand Final.
I was surprised at how much the intensity lifted in the third quarter, i was even cheering on my players to knock one of your criminal players out! Lol just joking…
sorry I havent been talking much guys, ive been having a disagreement on the Superfooty forum with a Carlton supporter.
Yeah, we might have a 6th member of the fab 5, and our 2nd member of the italian 1
Yeah that was a bad day for Blues supporter, but Matty Lappin’s goal was a ripper
-Danni I think Laidley was there crying with Mick at the end of the 2002 Grand Final.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! REALLYYYYYYYYY
OMG DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FOOTAGE OR PICS!!????
Yeah I remember Lappin’s goal.
What were you and the supporter arguing about Steve?
Hey Damo, remember when Justin Murphy wrecked his knee? I was almost sick when i saw it, then i kept rewinding and watching it again lol. I think it was Rice who had the shot on goal while he was being stretchered off and kicked it
Does anyone remember when Laidley had a confrontation with a St Kilda supporter in the crowd in Round 9, 2006, and the St Kilda supporter killed himself that night?
……Ohh yeah no was’nt it a North supporter?
yeah that knee injury looked terrible.
nothing about footy, well kind of, he was saying I couldnt talk about footy on this thread and started having a go at me
Lol and Steve said to bake a cake with all the wooden spoons he has lol that’s gold.
Im not sure actually, mighta been. Dunno, i try and avoid that match as much as possible
Yeah that injury was ugly, I think he was contesting at the top of the goal square and landed awkwardly.
Yeah that was a North supporter, laidley felt bad after that.
why would u use a wooden spoon to bake a cake????
Im sure he did Damo, i mean its not his fault his players were not performing, the most he can do is direct them and yell.
lol
List of Wooden Spoons:
Carlton= 3
Melbourne= 12
The Melbourne cake will seem a lot larger, lol.
I feel bad when coaches get the sack, its not their fault. Except for Wallace, that was his fault ;)
Damo this was a seperate argument, its not gonna be re-booted on here.
At least we’re not St.Kilda
12??? really… gee thats not good.
mmmmm…cake
Hahahahahah Damo
Looks like Dean Cox will miss the NAB Cup.
great..now i want cake!!
ohh i should be hopefully getting my number 9 on friday!! :)
yeah it does.
be back later guys, im off to play a bit of back yard cricket.
