Swans'/Saints' Unsung Hero

[Go Swannies]

A friend of mine just posted this on Facebook:

"Dempster- if he's selected this week- will have played one grand final for each 22.75 other games in his career.

That's a bit nuts."

They would have to bring Baker back instead of Dempster. At least he has one premiership.

Go Seany, the unsmiling one.

Bas, Baker hasn't played for what 9 weeks, and Seany had a blinder last week. I trust the brains at St K are in working order.

I never really liked Dempster, he was always a bit spuddish to me, but christ, good on him! Brad Johnson must be fuming!

Incredibly lucky to get into last year's GF team, played only 8 regular season games and none of the finals.

He's rated very highly by Ross Lyon and I can see why

He's a good ordinary player with pace and a massive kick who can play on talls and shorts

[Lucky Knickers]

Let's not forget he's also really ridiculously good looking.

But he can't turn left.

Former Lion Clark Keating would also have a pretty good strike rate.

I thought he lacked a bit in the pace of that game and the quick decision making needed .too long ago to remember specifics,just that was my impression.

[Jeffers1984]

I'll only remember him for that run which set up Tadhg's goal in the second quarter.
But yeah the dumpster, a very forgettable player.

And although i really don't like Jolly i want the Pies to win. My hate for the Aint's is stronger than i thought.

Did look better in red and white though!

Yep.
Once tried to get him to smile, and it was like a creaking door.....nice kid/bloke though. Obviously persistent as.

[Xie Shan]

It is nuts!! How many games have Brad Johnson, Nathan Buckley and Robert Harvey played collectively for no premierships? But then nobody said sport had to be fair.

Didn't Richard Hadley have a similar strike rate when he was at the Lions? (cannot remember which premiership he played in, 2003 perhaps)

But yeah, as I said in that thread on facebook, I think I could handle a Saints win. Pies playing great footy though.

Dumpster is a dud, plus he was the only player not nice to my little brother at a clinic a few years back, so i never liked him.
