What has happened to this kid?

Has anyone been watching him go around for Sandy?
Barely been mentioned this year, after a fairly solid start to his career last year?

At pick number 8, I would hope to see him performing well in the VFL.

He can't read the flight of the ball, and has a terrible feel for the game. His poor ability to lead correctly makes our forward entry look worse than it is. There is zero intensity in the forward 50 when he doesn't have the ball and his endurance is non-existent. The guy is poor overhead, is not ag...

I hope you are fishing, or you are clearly front runner for either our recruiting department or replacement for Richardson.

Could the poison be Finnis?

I think the St Kilda Football Club is the problem. Everyone has their heads firmly entrenched up their own arses.

At least our President has been vocal...

Wow. The man oozes optimism and delusions of grandeur. Reading his usual garbage and need to maximise our opportunities... Tims hurting we're hurting.. He's having some issues with his set shots, there's no doubt about that.. No one works harder on their skill, his is marking and kicking and leading...

So we keep him and get nothing in return?

He still has value, but diminishing by the year..

Obviously the premise of my post was lost on some...

My point is trade now, when we still have value. I am sure Geelong would want him with their aging forwards.

We need a ruckman that's for sure.

The guy is two or three concussions away from retirement. Considering he has been concussed six times in three seasons, the forecast looks dim. Potential is well and good, if you can actually get out on the paddock. For mine, his ceiling is pretty low. He is a poor man's Travis Cloke, without the du...

Self preservation is all he is about in those post matches..

Aaron Hamill can go with him..

This guy is a no good.
Poor decisions, terrible disposal and offers nothing.

Can't have him and Geary in the same side.

Cheers jonesy

How did Long and Freeman go?

Was wondering if anyone who attended could please update us on how the Saints listed players fared?

Thanks

Joel Duckwood....really? What are we 4 years old?

Seems?????

Very deep.

He is not quick, his athleticism is average and his overhead marking is ordinary.

Most here will lash out in his defence about being only 18 and learning the game, but his raw ability looks very tame from what I have seen.

The ceiling is closing in.

Worst 31 point win in history.

Happy to be corrected, but i think it was in Gary Buckenara's article on our list and he said he saw Freeman play for the devo squad late in the season and he looked way off the pace, not even looking likley at that stage...I'm not surprised given the amount of footy he would have missed... And thi...

Fair call. Older saint you make a fair point.

I have no doubt the kid is smart and is a beautiful set shot.

Roughie is amazing below his knees and has a good tank but isn't fast or an amazing mark so I take everyone's point.

I may have made a stupid post in haste.
Thanks for going easy!!

Rookie spot? The bloke should captain the Saints after that performance.

8 times out of 10 in the regular season Answerth was named amongst the best. 3/3 named amongst the best in the finals, including the Grand Final. 11/13 for the year. De Gooey, Moore and Mckenzie combined didn't make the best for that amount. Never seen the kid play, but how can he not get drafted on...
