Re: Drafting 25
Geelong got father sons. But they also have the right structure. Ling - slow plodder. Ordinary ball user. - make him an elite tagger. Chapman. - use his balance. Strong around the ball. Not enough motor for the midfield. Archetype defensive lock in forward. Recognise both the strengths and weaknesse...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Good. 2 years is right. Fair for all. If he comes good he will get his just deserves on his next contract.
He has shown glimpses of his potential but the jury is still out whether he will be able to become a star of the game.

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Absolute disgrace. But fully expected. Saints have no media bullies therefore get done. The AFL need to change the interpretation of holding the ball. Frees for holding the ball are only paid once the ball is dead. The tackler needs to pull the player to the ground and kill the contest. If the tackl...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Second year drop off
Will come good however will take time. Expectations are high and been given a free pass to date.
Needs a run in the 2s to find the ball.again.
Should wait on the resigning.

Re: L - 8 / W - 15 / L - 4 / W - 7 / L - 1
If we can get to 7-7 at bye.
We would need to win 6-9 to make finals.
Will need 13 wins realistically to make it to September.

Re: Garcia. Great Debut
Reminded me of an over wound up toy.... seemed to be everywhere.
Great start.
Pou is doing pressure acts as not getting to the ball fast enough. Needs more size to spend long periods in midfield.

Re: How do we fix the forward line?
I know Butler has only just come back in. However I don like both Higgins and Butler playing in the same team. Or same role. Individually they do better than together. I know Butler has been playing higher more as a lockdown forward. Maybe that will work better. King makes us one dimensional. It is ...

Re: Ugly football
Win ugly... is OK. A win is a win and the win - loss ratio is all that matters come the end of August as that dictates playing in September.
True Ugly would have been this forum if we lost.

Re: Match Thread vs Richmond
King can’t kick a goal. We are doomed They've had 4yrs to work on his kicking technique and still he walks in spinning it every which way in his hands and then wonders why he never makes good connection. If he's not listening f*** him off to the VFL until he does or if the coaches haven't tried to ...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Kicked 1 goal to half time.
Managed to fall over a bottom 4 team.
Whilst losing to a bottom 6 team last week
Not exactly setting the world on fire.

Re: Who are the A-graders in cashed-up St Kilda's sights?
Hopefully get crouch back soon. Probably not worth $700 now but been good for saints.
I hate this article. Nothing good will come from it other than pointing out to current players there is plenty of room. In salary cap. That room will quickly disappear with current players coming through.

Re: Phillipou
The Pou is full of himself. He has shown nothing. Therefore a 5 year contract at $1m a year is a long way off, which is what he would be expecting. It would be good to get him doing more run with roles. Similar to Wyndy. Teach him the game and how to find the ball. My concern is he is a slow outside...

He was ordinary tonight. Deer in headlights at times. Windy and NMW were stand outs. Looks list for long periods then appears again. I am a big advocate for playing at the level you are at. He isn't in our top 22 at the moment. He needs to fund some ball to get his confidence. I hope his ego can han...

He couldn't be stupid enough to 'over dehydrate' himself.

Re: Great pick
Interesting pick ups
Both very light outside midfielder / forwards.
Prospects for the distant future.
interesting trade by Melbourne. Second rounder for essentially 2 3rd rounders. Draft must be getting pretty thin on talent.

Re: Billings
Thought that we could have done better on that deal.
Pick swap would have been ideal. Especially as we will be paying a good portion of his salary.
Could have been worse .........Ratugolea ....... (first round to last pick in the draft)
