Sharman Lateral movement and running power - average Hill looks fitter than last few seasons I had a brief chat to him in Bali recently....he was off on a run. I then saw him on another 4 occasions (4 different times) running. Hopefully this shows his mindset is focused on the coming season... Desp...

Gee, Graeme Gellie looked lively....I don't remember him playing but obviously cruelled by knee injuries.

Just appointed at Yarrawonga, moving his family up to where he grew up.

I see Lyon as a regressive step and his game plan is obsolete. It won't get close to the Geelong's or Melbourne's style of play. What game plan? Tell me what is Ross Lyon’s game plan now? You surely don’t think he is frozen in time? From my peep hole he looks pretty switched on the modern game plan...

Here’s the beginning of some news https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/09/20/sick-of-mediocrity-saints-planning-major-restructure-of-footy-department/?fbclid=IwAR1fe5SrLXNVfhyX8TOM8YHkmY6YNXKxLOkMlFcprEImRKSbhiFkRL5-ETQ&mibextid=kkiIlp Yes about time we got a genuine football person, with actual &q...

With a new fitness guy at the helm l think our early season fitness was in front of some of our opponents. Keen to put his stamp on our program l reckon we ran out games stronger than our opposition. This differential narrowed as the season went on until it wasn't relevant. Other clubs also play the...

When we have

Steele
Crouch
Ross


We need a power mid/forward

Agree totally and would make zero sense getting Mitchell

I don't believe Bytel has any trade currency, couldn't get a game in a poor midfield, but hope we don't sell the others off cheaply. I wouldn’t say he couldn’t get a game. Rather he didn’t get a game despite his form. He really should have played the 3 games (and I use the whole numbers loosely her...

Rumour is that Tom Mitchell is being considered by the powers that be. Just a rumour at this point.

Fat and not AFL fit....disgrace he is in that condition and still being picked. Cant imagine the Swans accepting that

Anyone else get the sense Grundy is edging closer to us. No love from Pies, wants to stay in sunny Vic. We need a ruckman, most other Vic clubs don't. Its maybe just settling on how much Collingwood top up his salary. They would want to cut their losses wouldn't they. And they would not see us as a...

Gee that's a tough watch but bang on by the panel. Seems from the outside we have backed Ratten so a few of his underlings may need to be swapped out for some 'new' footy IP. Obviously the list needs work also so they need to bite the bullet and make strong decisions on personnel. I just hope that D...

Another missed tackle deep in our backline

Windhager does plenty right

No, who wants a first game as a sub, like the Bombers did with Wanganeen....No Thanks !!

Can't play him midfield as he is very average below his knees.
One attribute you require as a mid.

What could I possibly be asking? Why did one of Steele, Crouch or Dunstan have to go? Because Dunstan has had 7 years, can't kick, his running ability hampers both our offensive game and defensive structures and quite obviously he has a chip on his shoulder. If we are to improve (at all) we need to...

Don't know why anyone would be upset Dunstan is moving on. Like a few have stated he is a 2nd string mid who has no spread and butchers the ball. The only error here is we didn't shop him 3 years ago and get something (anything) of value. If we want to improve or even compete for top 6 we can't have...

This is outstanding, a quality bloke with a great football heritage and experience that will really add value to our list. Fantastic that the club has recognised there was a hole in our structure that needed to be addressed and to target and get DC to come on board is an exciting outcome for the Sai...

Which makes the decision not to pursue Adam Treloar even more baffling, considering the Pies are paying a large chunk of his wage...

He didn’t play 200 with us, did he? He has played as a small forward in a vey good team (that has Kennedy and Darling as Key targets to crumb to) He averages just over 1 goal a game and has been a serviceable small forward a B Grade role player Compared to An AA midfielder, best and fairest, captai...

That's a big call.....he may have another 12 yrs of a career.

What about Constable from Geelong? Can't get a game and reportedly looking for more opportunities. Absolutely tearing it up in the VFL. I think the problem now is that to improve our list what we need in terms of mids is Quality with a capital Q. Swapping in say a Constable to add to our midfield f...

Patrick Lipinski would be worth consideration if we could do a deal with the dogs. I think he has good upside, at 190cm is a good size and due to the digs depth not getting as much of a go as he would elsewhere. We need to make some midfield changes and he would add to our depth and bring something ...
