Re: Roughead resigns
I’m 100% with skeptic Richardson was a poor coach that got way too many years he is the luckiest coach in our history even beating Thomas who had no place coaching the greatest list this club ever had. I cringed seeing our CEO Finnis tearing up at Richardson exit media interviews that’s a leader of ...

Re: Break out smokeys
I’m not sure how the over paid powder puff Jack Billing’s is being discussed in a thread over “ Smokey’s for 2024”. He is not our problem for a reason. No tank or hardness for the middle and really hasn’t excelled in any position for awhile now. He managed 150 games without a scratch and was paid at...

Re: Biggest questions for 2024 for RTB
Forward line needs to strengthen from the issues of last year. That can happen with a healthy King and Membrey, Sharman building on his finals performance and look out for Collard he will play early in the senior team. The GWS final showed we lacked a player with speed and X factor in the deeper poc...

Re: Roughead resigns
Good riddance his papers were stamped when Ross arrived.
Had a massive ego and was too involved anywhere.
One thing you saw under Ratten was Roughead and Lethlean hanging around at training snapping goals and lairising that all stopped when Ross arrived.

Re: Will Jack Higgins go up a level?
I was heavily critical post final he was heavy and struggled with the deeper pockets on the MCG. I actually said post game to my saints mates “ we need a faster, lighter more agile indigenous type small forward” as the G is a different ground to Marvel. We subsequently picked Collard and my mail is ...

Re: Trading: Best Available vs ‘Team Needs’
Recruiting Mc Cartin was a disaster another blunder by that incompetent fool Tony Elshaug.
You always go for the best available player with top 5 picks Petracca was clearly the best.

Re: Where to for Dougal Howard and what does our defence look like?
Ross lost faith in Howard last season. Ross is task driven and Howard let him down too often. He misses crucial punches in 1v1 duels, likes to finger point up the ground, turns over the ball at times in critical areas by foot, is slow with his hands has handballs miss targets or get intercepted and ...

Re: Darcy Wilson
Just watched several min of you tube on Wilson his resemblance to the great Robert Flower is uncanny…
The way he runs, his balance, his composure, skill and even the way he evades reminds me so much of the late Flower.
Hope he is half as good.

Saints won more games than any other team between 2004-6. I like GT. I think he was a great coach. I disagree and so do ex assistant coaches who knew and told me “he **** your club” I think his ego cost us flags with that list How would they have gone with Lyon in charge … Couldn’t move Grant on th...

I have never seen an unfit person look fit? Or visa versa Rowan Marshall is very fit Tony Lockett was not fit - especially from 88-94 when he put on a lot of weight He was however the best player in the game (with Ablett!) He also played about 60% of the time in those years and if he was fit would ...

Re: Isaac Keeler
Word is that Keeler is a huge possibility as you said to be something special but not enough has been seen obviously to be certain of this .
Hotton also has exciting possibilities.
Van Es also is promising.
There are concerns about Oscar Adams though.

Re: Gresham - expectations this season
Gresham is best at the foot of the Full Forward snapping goals and playing on instinct. When he is the last kick to the forward 50 he lacks the decision making, discipline and execution to be elite. He should lower his eyes like Byrnes does but he doesn’t he goes for glory. Bynes twice lowers his ey...
