Extremely accurate in front of goal (except in the GF sadly) and should have been retained despite other deficiencies, IMHO.

I suspect that after nursing Hannebury and others for years for practically zero return, the club made the decision to end its infatuation with injury-prone players.

Hence McKenzie, Billings & Gresham were all let go.

Deserves a chance to cement his position. Physically he seems less prone to injury than King sand we need another gun forward in future.

The Saints bottomed out as GWS and GCS were soaking up the top draft picks. And even then we botched our selections. Tom Lee ... McCartin ... Billings ... Lonie ... etc. Difficult to make a silk purse out a sow's ear but Richo's bland playing style and inexplicable match-selection moves made for a p...

Just two and half dreary months to go ...

Thanks for the service Roughie and good luck for the future.

Any chance that Roo is going to take over? Is he still in the country?

Pou played every game but was a long way from Ashcroft or Sheezel, and a very long way from first-season Buckley or Judd.

There's every chance he'll improve but let's hope sober heads are in charge.

Does anyone know if Roo is back temporarily or permanently?

Baldock
Stewart
Riewoldt
Winmar
Hayes

All in our top ten greatest and all from other states.

RTB would do well to remind our interstae lads of that.

Gresh will probably kick 35 this year if the Injectors make him a dedicated small forward. He's still no Stephen Milne though.

I like him. Better than Ben Long at half(?) the price.

But a Carlton mate told me the Blues players got sick of him whining... who knows?

Where are the Chery logoes?

How big is that sponsorship?

The SEN geniuses also see Melbourne sliding. Why? They could easily have won the flag, and probably would have had not thug Maynard ironed out Brayshaw. Plus they've recruited well. As for us ... Dow, Henry, Bonner, a slew of promising kids in this year's draft plus Hotton and Keeler in effectively ...

If Sinclair was RTB's "secret herbs and spices" when our questionable midfield was falling short, then I can't see why he shouldn't play there permanently if we have othersn to assist NWM in the rebounding half-back role. With Sinclair, Dow, Owens, a fit Steele and others in the midfield, ...

Memo to recruiting department.

If you want another steal at next year's draft, spread a rumour online that the bloke got intimate with a goat.

I rather liked the laurel leaves under the crest.

And congrats ..if he is like Isaac Smith or Mason Wood, bring it on.

Harvey won two Brownlows years before this kid was born yet looks like his older brother.

I'm wondering if Henry can take over the running half-back role, alongside NWM, freeing up Sinclair to be a permanent mid. Throw Owens into the midfireld, too, accepting the extracted ball directly from Dow, and you have a very different midfireld paradigm. Nor is an injury-free Jones to be forgotte...

If he came back Buckley isn't just going to vacate his spot on On the Couch, is he?

Jack Bytel.

Yes, paying part of his salary at Melbourne.

Off to melbounre for a future third-rounder. Confirmed.

Billings making the Dunstan mistake of heading to a premiership contender and expecting senior games.

In reality he's probably earmarked as a fill-in for Melksham.

Presumably he'll be dseigning the indigenous guernsey next year.

Pick 40 for an academy pick? Do we have one in mind this year?
