Re: Saints are said to Be helping Eagles land Bsker

West Coast 3rd is the 4th pick. They don't want to give that for Liam Baker without getting something back from Richmond. And Richmond can satisfy them with 21 or 29 or 39 and they will be offering 39 at this stage. Don't be surprised if it is Baker and 29 for Pick 3. If Richmond don't budge, then i...

Re: Jack Hayes

Would still like to see him tried as a tall defender ... worth a contract and a pre-season training as a CHB.

Re: Backline

Wilson off a back flank may be an interesting rotation through the backline when Bonner and NAS need minutes off.

Garcia might be needed for cover as a small back if Stocker needs a rest / gets injured.

Re: Team vs Roos Preseason Game

An opportunity to give time to Owens and Byrnes as genuine midfielders in the guts. Let's see Arie at CHB rather than Cordy - please.

Re: Sub strategy

Now this is an interesting topic - the sub strategy. It comes down to whether the sub is for adding fresh legs vs covering potential loss of a player through injury. At the moment, I think our sub is based on the type of player we can LEAST afford to lose vs that week's opponent. Against a running t...

Re: Moderation changes

Just popped in to thank Kosi and St. Byron for stepping in.

With one parent in hospital and the other in rehab (from 2 weeks in hospital) I have very little time to be on here.

Really glad to the Saints doing so well.

My thanks to Kosi and St.Byron for stepping in. Dad doing well enough to go to the footy in a wheelchair on Friday and loved it despite the loss. Mum almost strong enough for her second operation so fingers crossed.

Re: Rowan Marshall / Luke Jackson

Luke Jackson is already a better centre bounce ruckman than Rowan. It was Jackson’s centre bounce work that sparked the Demons in quarter 3. Around the ground Marshall is stronger for ball ups and a better mark. But Jackson will get there. I am not sure Rowan will ever be a good centre bounce ruckma...
