How has Saunders sandy form been? any chance he could come in for Saad,as I reckon he could help in midfield.Seems a forgotten player Seems to be one of those players who is neither here nor there...got dash and can get the ball, but needs a bit more physical presence I reckon, and he is up against...

No, McKenzie might though. Absolutely deserves it too DMac has been fantastic the times I've watched him. His handful of clangers is disappointing but do you think Blake has done enough to be considered? He is starting to stand out as being too good for VFL but in the same way he has a lot of devel...

I'd like to see Roo, Joey, Webster, Acres, McKenzie and Weller coming in. Obviously that's too much. Outs... Paddy, Shenton, Curren, Saad. Hard to find two more to be honest. Sinclair probably not deserving of being dropped/rested but imo I think the ins are knocking down the door too much to be ign...

Pick one and two will certainly assist in the rebuild.

The only change they will make, is to bring in young Blake.

Then again if reserves form is important to the powers that be, they might even consider Tom Lee.

Too early to tell before Sandy play. 25 and goals from Acres, Eli and/or DMac will be too hard to ignore. Webster should only need a week in the twos. Lonie get a visit from the general for one of the twos boys mentioned, probably Eli, and Shenton dropped for the elite user in Webster. Dont care wha...

You can't single out our shortest, smallest players and compare them to beasts. Lonie, he will be a tough small forward who can have stints up the ground. Same as Schneids, and he has had a decent old career. Sinclair, isn't he exactly the same height as Mitchell? With similar traits, one can only h...

Well that was an intense little rant wasn't it. Love the passion, but when the coach comes out and says he probably wasn't ready then posters probably have the right to say it too. I don't think anyone in their right mind is saying he will become like Jack Watts, or plays like Jack Watts or tonight ...

I don't think it was fair to select him to be honest. I would've preferred that he was held back with Hugh until he was absolutely hammering down the door, which would probably be mid season. From all reports, he didn't do much in the first VFL praccie match and I watched him last week and while he ...

I'll start by saying I don't think I've ever done this and it's probably pretty poor form, but I feel compelled to do this about one of our players. Cameron Shenton. He is turning 25 this year, has played a career total of 17 games. Why do we persist with him? The argument will be there that he play...

I think we now can understand why GWS was being so 'unreasonable' wanting 'overs' for him.

Pick what, 48 (?), great talent identification.

I cant see us landing a big name or up and coming gun next year. Unless we surprise everyone and win a few games toward the end of the year. We need to sell a vision of a club thats about to climb the ladder. We are still 12 months away IMHO. Give him 3mill over 4 years or 3.5mill over 5 and he'd b...

I hope they were watching tonight

Good stuff mad dog. How many did Paddy end up with? I left with about 10 mins to go in the last and he had 4.3 and he gave off another 2 when he marked inside 40 metres but chose to short pass side ways. Thats what he finished with. If i was to be critical, he missed a shot about 30 out on a slight...

Got a text from one of the boys at the game ( and one who should know ) who said McKenzie bad an absolute cracker. What was your opinion BringBackMaddog? He wore no. 70 I can definitely vouch (spelling?) for that. DMac was absolutely a grade - this kid could be elite mate, looked like a 200 game ve...

All of them available. Big offers should be made to the first 3 use pick one for best available.

Whitfield contracted for a couple and Lachie in first year of initial 2 year contract. I would love any of the four but they arent exactly all available

I thought Jack Sinclair has shown heaps in his few appearances so far this year. Got heaps of the ball when came on as a sub and very effective disposal except for his missed shot at goal in the last quarter. Agreed but he physically looked like a 'kindergarten kid' in size compared with the GWS 'k...

Can't complain about the effort. Game plan is sound. We just lack a bit of polish and at times decision making. Expect two changes, Roo is fine and Billy will keep his place. Mirroring my thoughts on the two changes. I'm wanting to see Billings and Acres in for Saad and Shenton. I'd also like to se...

Possibly the most respected number at St Kilda....Baldock, Breen, Lockett.........Templeton ! Eli did look exciting in last years NAB cup, flashing in with his golden locks and kicking a couple of goals....but giving him number four is premature at the very best, and at worst is downright disrespec...

Still too early but Lee, Hickey, Wright, White, Saunders and Murdoch would want to start showing something soon.

Any word?

Also agree with this. I see our forwardline sorted for the future, at least on potential. The backline is where I see Del, Bruce and Hughie in the future, footy is a tough/funny game - GWS have had all their backs go down injured and would dearly love him there still. I can only imagine Bruce will b...
