I brought this up the other day, because I thought the same thing when Goddard raised it on FC. I was told that he only started wearing the glove when he injured the webbing on his hand a couple of weeks ago...

Strange though, he hasn't missed since huh

Well....that about sums it up.

To replace Kosi and his apparent lack of use and ability on the field, would require two players

McEvoy/Koschitzke alternating between ruck and FF will be a headache for any opposition. Not really, because Kosi's kicking is so unreliable. He's been hooking the ball for years. Look at other rucks who drift forward. 30.21 this year for the Kos. Ottens - a stunning kick - 14.7 Minson - 19.11 Cox ...

Can you believe some nuffy saints supporter on the herald sun site, is calling for Blake to be delisted

Who is the potential tall that we are going to pick up in place of Kosi, no-one is answering that?

I think people are thinking trade X ?

Great post, I was beginning to despair that all saints supporters wanted to trade Kosi! :x Who do you replace a 197cm versatile forward/2nd ruckman with? But I am afraid that it may be over for X, unfortunately he seems to be prone to injuries...and as such never has a chance to build his body up to...

Kerr is simply better than Dal ATM. Potentially though who knows? If we had the chance for a straight swap for Kerr I would jump at it. Interesting also is number of Brownlow votes for Dal. Last year was it 16 and yet this year 3. Perhaps he doesn't want to be with the saints. Maybe Essendon. Well ...

NDS is blessed with natural ability, doesn't have to do much to be very good and I think herein lies his problem. I think he will be at the saints next year, and I think RL has proved he has the remedy of getting his you know what into gear....

Agree with a lot of your post....except "Justin Kositcke- Terrible season for all the hype that surrounds him. If someone wants him and they offer us a reasonable trade we take it. Might be better for both parties . Kosi looks like he thinks he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Need...

Tell me about it, they suggested on Game Day that we should trade Kosi to the bulldogs because they need a tall forward...I for one am a Kosi supporter, and I want to see him at St Kilda in 2009! Totally agree! Glad some people on here do, sometimes I have wondered with all the negative press out t...

I suggested to delist Fiora on another thread, but I was advised he is contracted until the end of next year and cannot be delisted....

Trade:

X Clarke

Surprises:

C Jones I don't know why, I just have a feeling he may go home to Freo

Do you really think he will go to Collingwood? Well, they will certainly be keeping Didak then, they would cop all sorts of heat if they trade a problem child and welcome in another? I think we still have a chance of grabbing Cousins, I am not sure he would enjoy the extra scrutiny....well on second...

Jones was picked up late in his career, probably needs to change habits and skills that have been with him a long time. I think he will be OK, he certainly has the endeavour....

I think it was great Goddard got a couple of BOG the last few rounds as he returned to some form, he is going to have an amazing 2009....

huh? :shock: We are fourth best in the comp, sure the gap between us and the talent above us is huge....but I cannot see why the teams under will brush us aside next year? Why? Brendan Goddard should have a blinder next year, and has stepped up to be a real leader of the club. He began to show the l...

Thanks, he has been amazingly accurate of late....good to see!

I just have had a mental blank....how long has Riewoldt been wearing a glove, was it just since he hurt his hand or long before? I just remembered Goddard saying on Footy Classified, that he hadn't missed for goal since removing his glove to take his shot....this form continued on the weekend so I w...

West coast wanting Kosi may not be so far fetched, with the rumours that Dean Cox has had coffee with Paul Roo's in Sydney....

I personally see Kosi as an untouchable for the record

Not to mention Saturday night, in a heavy collision with Luke Hodge....obviously both pulled up very sore, both saw the game out, one receives all the attention for heroics.

I think Dal Santo is blessed with natural abililty, doesn't have to push himself that hard to be very good, however needs to push himself to be great

Didn't Clarkson say after the game, something to the effect that Buddy was a decoy forward and that he played him up the ground? Like he had planned for him to be shut down? I could be wrong cause I only was half listening in my state of shock
