I can’t help to wonder if it was Curnow or Jeremy Cameron would this have been sited?

There’s no suggestion that Battle is in doubt for round 1
It’s precaution that he is rested this match.

Anyone else hate Ticketek and the way our Club leaves reserve ticketed members to fend for themselves. Hopeless. Tickets will be equivalent to your seating at Marvel - so 2nd row on the wing - I bet I get double letter in the Nose Bleeds. Eventually got in - Row Q :( :evil: :( was the best I could ...

Apparently precautionary if they are hopeful for round 1
A torn calf would b3 a lot longer than 2 weeks.

Like Mr Magic for various reasons I also missed the ‘66 premiership even though I am a 61 year member. I also went to ‘71, ‘97, ‘09 and both ‘10 grand finals. My worst memories are both ‘97 and ‘09 as we were the best teams in both of those years. I went to Adelaide for the ‘04 prelim and that also ...

And much more favourable zones

Regardless that is a serious feather in the cap of Darcy Wilson.

To beat Windhager home the young fella must have a tank.

This is the full list time trial.
A few players not competing due to niggles or recovering from post season surgeries

The only one we have lost is Gresham as Billing’s played one maybe two games and Coffield none. We have recruited well with Dow and Henry and anything we get from the draftees is a bonus. Also hopefully we will have Membery and King match fit this year. Also we should get further development from Ow...

Because of the northern academies.
They should be on the same rules as the Melbourne teams NGA

I think the main problem with Highmore is his disposal- he turns it over too much and is not a long kick.
I watched a fair bit of Sandy as he would read it well but the turnovers meant it was coming back from 50 metres from goal.

Where does it leave DMac?

The fact that Membrey is having a kick is very good news,

we have to off load at least 2 , and possibly3 current players. Why? We only have to take three in the national draft. We have delisted four plus Gresham and Coffield makes six out. Three draftees plus Henry and Dow makes five coming in. I would keep Billing’s as we don’t know what injuries we may ...

Not outrageous but suicidal

I think we should tell his manager that we won’t trade him unless we get a second rounder or equivalent.
He can stay at Saints and we would offer a new contract or else go in the PSD.

The dogs obviously don’t rank him as they have only offered a future fourth round.
I think that’s an insult for a former top ten draftee who has been injured.
If he is now over the injuries he is a first 22 player.
Saints should not accept a low ball over - I would rather he go to the PSD

Make the Dogs coff up. Late first round or their future 2024 first rounder. All Traded to GC already. I think pick 46 probably gets it done sadly. I wouldn’t let him go to the bulldogs for that lower pick. Former top 10 draft pick and top 5 b&f Offer him another deal or let him go to PSD They a...

Pretty poor by Coff if true.
We supported him through two injury plagued years when he was never going to be fit enough to get on the park.
Now that he might be able to be fit enough he wants out.

He was also reported as being one of the best during 2022 pre season and did his ACL in the practice match

He is contracted at the Suns until the end of next season

It was always coming back to bite us.
I think the Hill trade would have been done without including Acres.

I think it would be one we would regret as he has the potential to be a very good intercept marker,
Don’t do another Acres.

Fremantle don’t have that strong a position.
Hill was contracted which is very different.

He is OOC and has told Freo he wants out.
It could be one of those that hold out until the last half-hour of trading.

Ben McEvoy - pity he didn’t play his whole career with Saints
