I noticed Brett Eddy kicked a bag of 7 in the sanfl on the weekend. well worth a look with a late pick or rookie spot for us. Completely agree Gora. Eddy has kicked 50 in 12 games and leads the sanfl goal kicking. In comparison, John Butcher from port has kicked 28 in 11 games.. 23yo ATM. Turns 24 ...

pity some supporters aren't as loyal as Nick is.... I dont discount that 'loyalty'..but that 'loyalty' as you call it has cost the saints the best part of $1m pa. Rightly so b/c he's a legend, but if we decided to discount his pay check a bit earlier than expected, I think you might have found that...

Ok, so I'll stat by saying I'm against trading Riewoldt, absolutely need his leadership and experience whilst we are transitioning our list. BUT I've been thinking what we would actually get for him at the trade table and more importantly - how much footy he's actually got left in him? What if he's ...

Sipos was taken at pick #75 in 2010 draft - tht's practically a rookie draft pick. He has played 28 games and kicked 22 goals. When you are taken that late in the draft - what do we expect? A 200 game player? I dont think he has wasted his talent at all - stupid suggestion. He just has some deficien...

OK here's the smokey for the upcoming national or rookie draft. He has been talked about previously by some on here, but we simply can't ignore his VFL form. Ban Cavarra absolutely dominated the TAC cup - joint winner of the Morish medal and BOG in a winning grand final side alongside the likes of H...

Steven is a good player but far too many deficiencies to be an elite midfielder of the competition. Disposal and decision making very poor. I would strongly consider trading him if it were to help get some elite talent through the door such as Shiel, Patton, Boyd etc. Did he fluke last year? His ki...

Are these games televised anywhere if they are not the 1.10pm Saturday slot?

Pretty silly peeps saying that its the worst year to have the number #1 pick? Really? That honestly can't be judged for another 10 years. And their performance in the carnival isnt the sole indication of a players potential - Lance Franklin had a shocking U18 carnival and slipped to #4-5, he's going...

I love how you can tell Lee will be no good after a grand total of 13 afl games.... not hard...can't read the play...slower than my mother, ...and about half as strong,,,,,drops his marks...and his head...can't hit a target with his handballs...can't win his own ball...besides his kicking has dropp...

Did anyone notice that when Bill asked Richo about White, he openly said they were hoping to get some senior games into him by seasons end, otherwise they expect him to do a massive pre-season next year..... Just found it interesting and pleasing that he was open about it. I'd like to see white debu...

Stupid thread. Modern day football has plenty of negating players, simply because sometimes you come up against a side that has a gun midfielder in it that you want to stop rather than go head to head with. The better ones hurt their opponents by going the other way. Eg Ling, Crowley, Carrazzo, Sewe...

Lee looks very ungainly when running and chasing like Stanley does. It always worries me when I see that for some reason as if it reflects a disconnect between their brain and body. I can't remember to many really good players who look really uncoordinated. That's because neither of them are AFL-le...

Once again, in spite of myself, I find myself agreeing with Plugger66 on this one. The very fact that we are paying Lee is a worry. Needs delisting IMO. Actually I think pluggs would agree that, until we have 2 better players available to play their roles there is no point de-listing Stanley or Lee...

Instead of Lee we could have had Kristian Jaksch..taken at pick 12. He's played 4 games. Turns 20 this year. Hardly setting the world on fire. If he was at the saints everyone would be saying how we'd wasted the draft pick anyway having hardly played a game! Can't win on here unless every recruit is...

Milera highlights one of the key predicaments that list managers face in the modern game. All the peanuts that say ' we need to recruit quick mids, capable of winning their own ball and with elite kicking skills'... Yep - and they're called gary ablett, chris judd and patrick dangerfield. Simply - t...

Rest assured that Richo, Pelchen and co will no way overcook Billings this year. They moreso than all of us will know hie true worth and potential and will tread very carefully each week. I suppose playing in a fwd pocket/flank means he get through a bit more unscathed than say a Dunstan. Funny thin...

Im o/s at the moment and the afl live app suffices.
It drops out a bit and the footage is a bit choppy, but it is OK and pretty much the best option.
Bascially $5 a week, so $5 to watch the saints play live whilst o/s is good IMO.

milera has some fantastic skills , provides outside run and carry and has a good footy mind - good teams have blokes like this - there is no point having a whole team full of Hayes and armo types - seems to be be a lot of talk about us not having any outside run and leg speed then anyone who offers...

Can anyone confirm if Spencer White has put on a few kilos?
Looks like in the Sandy photos he has put a bit of upper body on?

Perhaps this thread should be called Contract time - 2015. In 2015 I do not want to see Jones, Savage, Dennis-Lane, Roberton, Fisher, Simpkin, Gwilt, Maister, Dunnell or Minchington on our list. All of these players are list cloggers for different reasons. Jones (redundant tagger now that Curren is...

Wanted to post some of the dribble that was posted over the past week or two regarding Billings: ********* "If he was any one else he would have been dropped/rested weeks ago! I also think they are asking too much of a kid who has talent but has never played against men. If I had pick 3 now on ...

49 games and 28 goals out of draft pick 47 - i reckon we've done alright here.

Cant expect everyone to be a superstar...

4th round pick #56. Nothing more. Just means we upgrade Freo's 4th round pick from say 73 to 56. Last year Gumbleton was traded from Essendon to Freo for pick # 55. Amazingly similar circumstances really. Although Gumbleton had 30 odd afl games and 35 goals under his belt. The difference for us to a...

Looking forward to hearing Richo's team selection video...!

Actually thought Bruce showed something, unsure why he's been omitted. Gwilt in then makes sense. Stanley didn't play that well for Sandy, but bringing him into the side means Lee can play the whole game at FF and not have to pinch hit in the ruck. For mine - Dunnel, Jones and Minchington wont play....
