No complaints from me. At the end of the day, they are just numbers. If it can inspire Higgins to play with as much heart as Barker and Windhager to be a great servant of the club like Frawley, then it’s a bonus. Collard given #4 is a little bit of a surprise, but it also shows how much of a valued ...

Paddy Dow in from Carlton and Coffield to the Bulldogs. Trade being done now.
Welcome Paddy, thanks Nick for your time at the Saints.

Still I hope we don't get stiffed by the Eagles next week. They are expecting a few of their crew back next week and I'll be there.

Gold Coast are all over the Cats.

Great effort by Windhager. Kept the favourite for the Brownlow to 16 possessions and had over 20 himself.

That's really embarrassing

The worst half of football by any St Kilda side. Incredibly disappointing. No more big name recruits, or should I say burnt out players from other teams.

Could be his last game for the Saints

Sinclair has turned out one of our greatest picks. He was a last pick and has been so consistent. I think he arrived in the same draft as Billings and has gone well past our early pick. Well done Sinclair

5 Hill a great 200th game
4 Wilkie gave Tex a bath
3 King good kicking wins tight games
2 Crouch just because it's against his old team
1 Sinclair works so hard and most times finds a team mate

I agree that Bytel has plenty of upside, but I can't see Lonie deserving of a spot in the side, he has been tried plenty of times and has let the side down. Good VFL player.

And then is missed out mentioning Dunstan, his last month has been off the charts

Highmore, breakout game
Steele, ever reliable
Jones, love his aggression
Paddy, Marshall pigeon pair
Sinclair, nearly always makes the right decision and his footskills are great

120 possessions more than the saints. That's just woeful. Some soul searching now.

I would like to see Howard in 8 as in backman like Max Hughton. Jones in 18. Firey temperemant like Godard.

Backward move to recruit Masten
Has never really reached his supposed heights after being a first round draft pick.

Pretty sure all the boys are thinking about their holidays

Wilkie has been incredibly consistent. Great effort from a mature recruit. Great vision by whoever was responsible for selecting him.

Parker worked pretty hard today. I thought he wasn't too bad today

Parker just has to spend a couple of weeks in the 2's. We have absolute no chance of finals so anyone who has shown anything in the reserves must be given a chance.

Has Gresham been very disappointing since he re-signed or is it just me?

Josh Bruce well done. Bloody hell Saints have a go.

Agree the Saints are asleep. No tackles 2nd to the ball. This is getting ugly already

If Long is the replacement lets hope he makes the most of his opportunities. I have been a little underwhelmed with his progress. We have been missing Lonie's aggression.
