Re: Team v Dockers

Everyone seems to be missing the real story of the week.
This may be they first opportunity to see Clark and Kent play together. Not to mention Steele being there as well.
It would be beautiful to see.

Re: First AFL Player To Sue Over Concussion

The major difference is how Paddy has been managed. So much has changed by both the league and the club around concussion in very recent years. Players used to run back out with a “she’ll be right” attitude, either off their own decision or pushed by the club. This no longer happens, due to the chan...

Just voted for him.
Get on board SS.

Will be shocked if any of those 4 miss (unless Steven isn’t quite ready)

Shocked that Marshall doesn’t get first crack
That’s exactly who I would like to see picked, but reckon they won’t, purely because I don’t get to have nice things.

Blake Acres has overcome back soreness and pressed his case with a strong showing for VFL side Sandringham the same day the Saints defeated the Bulldogs.

That makes a little more sense now.

Re: Linton St | Money in the bank - Positive Wed Vid

Agreed. Good to see Lonie loves the Saints. He could teach a few on here how to support the club. Nah. Wrong yet again young Ted. So very, very wrong. But we are not surprised. Supporting this footy club is not showing blind or is that blinded loyalty. People criticise because they care. I know. Ha...

I wondered what Max King might make of it and whether a few of them are particularly uncomfortable being on camera. A couple seemed...

Re: Twomey's Draft Update

It is not a Phantom Draft (that will come next week), and nor does it take into account where bids will come on father-son or Academy prospects. It is simply our take on who the best players are based on what we've seen and what we project they'll become.

Taken as a direct quote from the article.

I thought the same, but then I realised he has already spent 3 years in the US, so living in Melbourne will feel like he is around the corner to home.

That’s right. The first to leave without being delisted or retiring in about 3 years if I remember correctly. Even after a slump year, player retention has been pretty good.
