Who was the winner there? Carlton or West Coast? I would say Carlton. Swans got Big Bad Barry Hall and we got Dal Santo with your pick 18. Who won there? Pretty even for a few yrs but we got more millage out of the recruit Dal Santo. I was a little upset went Barry went as he was our replacement for locket and we only got pick 18 but Dal turned out to be a very good pickup with that selection even more so we got Nick Reiwolt in the same draft. Dal even had good resale value in the free agency also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I like this one also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJbEjhe1wCU&feature=player_detailpage Kennedy for Judd.. Who was the winner there? Carlton or West Coast? At the time, I was filthy on the trade, but with the benefit of time, I think WCE ended up slightly better. We ended up getting Kennedy and Chris Maston for Judd and pick 46. I still think Judd played his best footy at the WCE. I know Judd won a Brownlow at Carlton, but if I remember it was quite a controversial decision. Josh Kennedy is still only 26 and probably has another 4/ years left where this could well be Judd's last year. Masten is only 24 and has probably come off his bet year so still an upside to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron19 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Former Gold Coast Suns AFL player Campbell Brown is believed to be in strife again, this time arrested in a Gold Coast nightclub. Police confirmed a 30-year-old from Benowa and a 41-year-old from Ceres in Victoria were arrested at 1.25am (AEST) Sunday at a Broadbeach nightclub. "Police will allege they were performing duties in the nightclub when the two men refused to move out of the way of police and came in contact with them, obstructing them in their duties," a police spokeswoman said. It's been reported the younger of the two is veteran hard man Brown, out celebrating his horse's win at the Magic Millions carnival on the Gold Coast.

BookMan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 in relation to ron19's post Former Gold Coast Suns footballer Campbell Brown arrested after Magic MillionsSACKED Gold Coast Suns footballer Campbell Brown is in trouble again, arrested while celebrating his big win at yesterday's Magic Millions races. Campbell Brown celebrates his win. Picture: Instagram Brown, sacked in disgrace in August after shattering the jaw of teammate Steven May after a pre-season training camp in the US, was in a brighter mood yesterday when Sweet Idea, the horse he co-owns with real estate kings the Henderson brothers, won the prestigious Magic Millions Guineas for three-year-olds. However, the night took a turn for the worse, with the former Suns hard man arrested after a scuffle with police at a Broadbeach nightclub. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/afl/former-gold-coast-suns-footballer-campbell-brown-arrested-after-magic-millions/story-fnia415y-1226799993528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just spent a day down at Seaford with the Saints and their facility. Thanks to my nephew who is a physio down there. (yes my inside man) Great day and met a couple of the boys and new recruits. I looked at the boys doing weights and the size of the playing group compared to the new recruits like Jack Billings (pick 3) is just so far. Huge guys compared to skinny little kids. Did manage a photo op with Lenny Hayes, David Armitage, Clinton Jones and Jack Billings. Saint Nick and the other senior playing group weren't around apparently in a meeting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him doing a handstand against Hawthorn one day because their fullback, I think it was Chris Langford said to him "you'll never make a good footballer while your arse points towards the ground". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRRR Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ahhhh I recall Jacko well of course why wouldn't I? he played for the Dees a few years, was fairly good at kicking goals, in those days I use to go every week so I have a better perspective of the guy than you guys who may have seen him once or twice a year, of course he got a lot of bad press but I can assure you most of the time he was a reasonably dedicated player. At times not to bright recall his stoush with Andrews at Windy Hill ( that paddock out in the west some where, where once a Dee player coming off the interchange bench twisted his ankle when slipping into a pot hole...yes on the ground........hey its not a league ground anymore) He had a brief career and was as long as his attention span, was rather slow but then we got him while at his peek, we picked him up from Richmond were he had been staring in the under 19's, still in his early 20s when he moved on, I do think the Dees got the best of him, he really would have been a star if he was born 40 ys earlier and played in those dirty woods sides.

Jackson lasted only 1/2 a season with the saints and after just 10 games he was sacked because of his discipline.
