None Why? Because by taking on his full contract we get him for peanuts. It becomes a salary dump for the Doggies. If the Doggies have to pay him out, or pay part of his salary, then the pick we have to give them becomes a much more costly affair. We have heaps of salary cap that has to be spent. W...

He’s s*** and we’ve got an AA calibre ruckman And if Marshall gets injured???? Campbell is gone, that leaves Heath who may or may not make it. So clearly AA calibre ruckman or not, we need another ruck on our list. Having Marshall just means that we will not waste the resources to get in a very goo...

I want to win. But Port will most beat Freo, and so the Blues will be playing finals even if they lose to us. So if that is your reason, then think again. If GWS win today, then Port need to win to get Top 2. If GWS lose, then Port still need to play well as if they lose to Freo they may also lose a...

We do have a second round pick.

After the trades we ended up with the Crows second round draft pick, which is currently one better than our original one.

Well named in the team yes. No way he plays at FB though.

This is a change that will advantage the bombers more than anyone else. The two NGAs that we had are only 50/50 propositions to be taken in the top 40. The change that will really hurt is changing the free agency compensation so that any contract over 5 years will not improve the compensation offer...

With Tony74 stating Hunter Clark is out with tightness I went to see the squad selection, Phillipou is starting on the ground. When I flicked from field view to list view on the saints website I saw below that Gus McLennan is debuting! He deserves it! Had a great game last week! https://www.saints....

Least he's getting his hands on the ball in the centre, something we've been unable to do most of the year. Pretty tough marker. He's had a very solid 3 weeks. Yes agree, Zac has been good. And our midfield had been pretty poor prior to his return. So he has been part of why we have improved.

Probably the best mid potentially available for trade at season end. 24 YO in December Just off a knee reco Hard running, questionable kicking? Would suit RTB game plan What would you give up for him? Dogs would want our first rounder. Sounds like he will be at the Cats in 2025. They need a quick m...

In Dow

Out Henry
In Heath or Keeler

We were undersized this week anyway and Essendon go tall.

Wilson the sub.

Assumption here is Stocker is concussed

I think the club said he had passed the protocols.

Good that Keeler's education continues with him now being moved forward again.

It is very simple You just take the best player When you get cute and try to address needs, you end up with the 2014 debacle! Paddy McCartin was Nick Reiwoldt’s replacement- yeah right! It’s very simple Paddy looked to be an awesome forward which any club would want The debacle was no blame of the ...

I think with Arie that he has had a solid tun at it. It will help him to develop as he will really know what he has to work on now.



I hope Garcia starts though. We need another option to run through the midfield. Maybe even let him try out Wind's Tagging role.

B.M wrote: ↑Thu 18 Jul 2024 9:58pm I find it absolutely bizarre?

Me too. Why not use the selection thread for the game? Are your thoughts somehow more special to have your own thread when there is an existing one?

B.M wrote: ↑Thu 18 Jul 2024 9:58pm Just don’t get it

My thoughts exactly.

We gave away 2 first round draft picks as well as Acres. I am still to be convinced that he, or indeed almost any player, is worth that. I do acknowledge that Brad has given good service since RTB took over. i just hope that the contract extension for THREE years doesn't prove to be foolhardy. His ...

King Max wrote: ↑Sun 14 Jul 2024 12:43am I think Saint58 was correct. He was just a week late!

Max Hall had a twinge and was in rehab all week. Did not play at all, and was not selected to play with Sandy, let alone St Kilda.

King Max wrote: ↑Sat 13 Jul 2024 7:34pm Good luck to Ben Paton in his first game.

Yes, first time he has Subbed evidently in Adelaide. So what a debut. Hope the Saints flew his Grandma in to see it.

? No mention anywhere.

Plus was not one of the three emergencies.

What was your info source?

Players that aren’t in the starting line up, or have not been given opportunity (probably not good enough?) Core senior players Steele 28, Marshall 29, Crouch 30(inj), Sinclair 29, Wilkie, 28, Hill 31, Butler 28, Wood 30, Webster 31, Howard 28 Older and on the way out/depth Campbell 32, Ross 31, Me...

Howard has really only had one bad game this season. All the rest have been serviceable to to good to very good.

PLUS when he plays Wilke and Battle are freed up to play their natural games. Did you notice how good Wilke was this game?

We have GWS’ second rounder I think. No, the pick GWS traded to us was the Crow's Second Round Pick. This year's draft selections for StKilda arer: Round one pick Round two pick (tied to Adelaide) Round three pick (tied to Melbourne) See https://www.afl.com.au/news/1066491/2024-draft-picks-order-fu...

Forward.

But it is good to play him down back to round out his game.

Caminiti trained as a defender Good news. I hope we play him as key defender in the seniors for at least as long as it takes Howard to get back. Cordy is not the future. Even if Caminiti does not ultimately play asa key back, it will be good for his career as a forward. Plus makes him more versatil...
