Its Petracca boys, put your house on it!!

We will be taking Petracca. That's the inside word.

Saw him on Friday at a cafe ironically. Got pissed with him in Adelaide at the start of his journey when we were building our team in the early 2000s. A nice man socially, always had time to talk. Out of the box thinker who has shown that in his business and his time at the Saints. Disappointed he a...

Its early days but that quartet along with potentially Acres and Ross ( who I left out), Armitage, Curran and Saunders is a decent mid field for mine.

I am quite bullish if Petracca ends up A Grade.

Petracca, Dunstan, Billings and Stevens supported by Armitage, Curran, Saunders and co.
That's a handy mid field that has grunt, class and pace.
What are your thoughts?

Avid, he told me Carl Ditterich who was playing for Melbourne at the time was going to murder Muir and it was one of the few times in Muir ' s career he feared for his life. Big Carl was baying for his blood. A low act against a champion ball player.

I met Robboe about 8 years ago & I always loved him as a player, one of my favourites & alongside Keith Grieg the best wingman I ever saw. He was a ripper bloke, a gentlemen. He told me some great stories that day: having his jaw broken by Robbie Muir; interstate trips with Trevor Barker who...

I heard on the radio GWS player Jonathon O Rourke is a possibility. Looks like we are all over it this window, its going to be busy.

Looks like Pick 1 is going to be traded: Draft picks (first three rounds): 1, 21, 38 Gone: James Gwilt, Lenny Hayes, Clint Jones, Beau Maister, Trent Dennis-Lane and Sam Dunell What they need: A young key forward to eventually take the reins from Nick Riewoldt. The Saints have hit the mark with thei...

Webster is an exciting talent, at pick 42 I think this was great pick.

Joel Smith we lost against Collingwood at the MCG at Round 18. He was a big loss, an incredibly smart, classy footballer who was doing amazing things on the half Forward flank that year. Richard Osborne fell on his hyper extended knee & that was the last time he ever wore a Saints jumper. Ofcour...

Yep agree with the assessment. Pretty spot on with the list, its now making the decisions which is the hard part. Who stays & who goes. Jones & Gwilt already announced. Hayes & Maister retired. Milera going home. That's 5 spaces already.

Wow, what a number!!
No 7 is a revered number & Dunstan will fill it well.
Receiving that number from a man like Lenny Hayes must resonate with the young man, what responsibility?!!

Very Good assessment overall, agree with evo that Curren, Ross, Siposs & Shenton still are work in progress to be considered long term options. My gut feel is Ross will make it if he works his butt off & I saw some signs that Siposs may be understanding what it takes to make it, if he gets a...

Has to be someone very special, that's for sure.

Not surprising, Gwilt has been poor for 2 to 3 seasons now & CJ has had his time.
Great contributors both of them, well done.
We look forward to the next era, such is football & life.

Well done Roo

My Gut feel is this boy will make it. Not everyone was born a Chris Judd and his running speed & endurance plus natural adaption to the game overall will improve from games 25 to 50. He has general football ability & smarts, I think he will be given the time. Think about the young players th...

Bruce is a very good athlete and happy with him. Delaney is big and strong and has a decent leap. These 2 have changed our back line considerably already and Fisher is to come in also.

I was told by someone in the football department that Siposs was given a rocket at the start of the season for not working hard enough. His tyres were pumped up way too far, he has some ability & he will need to work as hard as the others if he wants to make it. I hope he can turn it around. Seb...

Farren Ray is a very solid & good Stkilda person & player. Very happy for him he is doing well again this year under Richardson.

Mate if he is in the top 10 best to come out of Tassie I will be happy. No one is talking about him that much but boy this kid is really good. I feel so safe when he has the ball.

Billings & Dunstan have been well documented. They both look super players but this boy Webster can really play. What an athlete!! Straight line speed, cat like rebounding ability on second efforts, good judgement, nice dependable kick & how about that passage of play at the end when Bombers...

Thanks for the opinion boys, for the record I am not a fan of Plough or Terry "Wallets" as they call him at Hawthorn.

Lee is no great physical specimen but if he can get some power & strength in his body the boy can play.
