Personally, I’m backing him in

So it was posted a while ago that he wouldn’t be offered another contract (though it didn’t come from the club so I was dubious)… and he’s survived the first round of cuts. As far as I know, he’s still not contracted so my gut tells me that as a footballer that seems ready to play now (body not with...

Tend to agree with most… if this is a possibility then pay the cost to make it happen.

We have draft picks to get elite players… if we rate him, trade them to get an elite player

To be honest… if I went after anyone, it would be Cerra.

His stocks seem as low as they’ll ever get so it’s a reasonable time IMO.

Word is… just from social media know it alls, an announcement is imminent and that both he and the club will figure out some type of deal for his last year

I reckon they might be setting Morris up. He'd be stupid enough to take the bait. There’s a wrestling ‘reporter’ (WWE etc) called Dave Meltzer who would send out a newsletter with inside goss, editorials, reviews back in the day. It wasn’t very objective and tended to favor those that spilled beans...

Cannot give up this years first 3 draft picks or next years first pick for anyone over 23yo Do not compromise the future for the now - never do that If we could get a Zac Merrett or the like for a third round pick, or as a FA Then yes - but not for early picks 100% I really like him but you’ve hit ...

Wow, just wow. Talk about the most talented list that continues to spectacularly fail. I wonder if there’s anything to raid here Tom Green is 23 and a beast. I like him a lot and he is the type of mid to throw big cash at Peatling is well documented. 2 goals tonight but only 10 touches. At 24, it’s ...

Does anyone know if Crouch will actually retire cs waiting out his contract?

By all accounts he’s cooked regardless… am just wondering if we can pay him out now and replace him on the list.

I feel like we need a SS honour roll for those gone way too soon …those that brought so much joy and fun to this site over such a long time This fella right up there Oooh I like this a lot. If anyone has an idea for what this might look like, please post it or PM me. I’d like to make this happen

I don’t get the issue and am even more miffed by the connection to violence. Ginnivan mouthed off to throw Port of their game Port won and Hinkley stuck it to the man And there’s a little personality and rivalry in the game that’s been missing from AFL since the early 2000s. It’s just words. Harmles...

Awww

I noticed he wasn’t posting lately.

Got to interact with him more as a mod. An intense but quite funny forumite that I thought was very sweet.

I feel deeply saddened and can only wish the best for the family

Wild if true. Like North, WCE appears to be where coaches go to die these days.

If I was Mini, a stint at the Saints with the longer term view of taking over from RTB is what I’d be looking at

?

Looks like they’re going to get the job done regardless

I guess it’s more in his style. Might not lay a big tackle or block, but he’s almost as tough as they come to actually getting to the ball and getting it out

Th hats not a very impressive 6 goals. All of them were more poor defending than his own brilliance - opposition caught out or sleeping for an easy mark. Even that last one when he took the defenders on, he was lucky not to be pinged. Very skinny as well. If you recruited him, you’d be doing so as a...

The name sounds like it might be Sudanese or Ethiopian… that region

* edit - I checked. His of Kenyan heritage so I was pretty close

Not a fan of Dougal - gets beaten easily one out and plays off his man too much and is sketchy with ball in hand But he’s a C Grade 199cm key defender and they are hard to find Hopefully he took a haircut He has def been like that… touchwood, I felt like he was more accountable and disciplined on h...

According to Jon Ralph, McCrae is on big coin next year,, and, even though the Dullbogs don't rate McCrae highly, Ralph is tipping they'll want a high-ish draft pick for him. 30 years old and getting slower every year. Interesting trade times ahead. Tell them they’re dreaming if that’s the case He’...

It’s a salary dump for them, give us something with him to take him off their hands. We don’t need him and he is not going to make us infinitely better. Give us McRae and #32 for our #35. Or pay half his wage and a future 4th. They obviously want him out as he is not in their best team and has a 3 ...

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Power bounce back this week. Lot of talent in that team that would be quite shamed by the performance.

Reckon Rozee will come out breathing fire.

There is def something to the culture argument. Go back to around 2016 A plethora of players that weren’t close to match fit and barely looked like they went to the gym Rumours abounding that Saints players had terrible attitudes to training and horrible habits Frequent soft tissue injuries, often w...

My guess. He’s the sort of bloke who doesn’t like confrontation so he told his teammates he’s staying, knowing he was going. Easier that way. People pleasers. That’s a near extreme level of avoidance that’s verging on a diagnosable personality disorder. Couldn’t be a functioning member of society i...

I don’t agree. As long as he is showing progress, we need to persevere. Heath is only 21 years of age. As long as his fitness and strength improves, we need to persevere. I think we’re actually in furious agreement here but the highlighted point is what IMO is key. Obviously Heath has been well beh...
