Yeah about that....you meant we lose by 10 goals?

I predict with no actual knowledge or mind grapes that the top 4 looks like this ... 1 - Adelaide 2- GWS 3 - Sydney 4- Geelong 5- Richmond 6- Port Adelaide 7- West Coast 8- St Kilda If we win all 3 we finish 7th and 6th will be Port Adelaide and will be a ripper match. But lose 1 (tigers) we finish ...

I dont want us to use our draft picks and cash on him but if we get him I hope he plays better than anyone has ever dreamed. All for the Sainters!!!!

Robbo for Zac Dawson...maybe Robbo misses Perth more than he ever imagined....so the story goes

I still believe that the way to long term success is to collect a bevy of draft picks and build a winning team from cheap yet effective selections. It has worked repeatedly globally in every sport. Rarely does trading away high round draft picks result in long term team success. Yes there are instan...

If we still had Zac Dawson...then it would be game on for a Granny

I heard a rumour Zac Dawson is a possible trade to Saints for Roberton...turns out Robbo misses Perth.

I keep saying it...dump Richo get Dew. Let him run with the boys. Get some top class assistants (most are senior coaches in the waiting so $$ and finals could lure them).

If...IF we are sticking with Richo then we have to accept 3 more years of finishing 8-12th on the ladder as we "stay strong" and develop "strength through loyalty" . Why get any player in a trade with less than 5 years left in the tank?

And yet....all that goes to prove is he is a good midfielder like I agree to...but he still only sits on average in stats rankings about 35th for 2017. But we want to pay him like he is top 5. He "could" be, he may be, that would be brilliant, but for such speculation to cost us so much......

Surely not 2 first rounders....can't we offer a few players and a 2nd rounder? I think Kelly is a very good player but he has yet to prove it consistently. He is young and has improved since last season...why is he the messiah?? Is it being 17th in disposals, 22nd in contested possessions or maybe ...

Rubbish. I have never flown the Paddy flag but his fitness is purely at present a neurological issue. He has excellent skin folds. Go to a practice in the summer check the guys out. No one came in with any fat folds...no one. He could lose 5 kilos but why? He is 94 kilos presently according to the t...

Im confident if Billings can kick 100 behinds we will this one...he's capable

The test he is failing within the concussion protocol: * memory impairment * balance disturbance ( he has self reported incidences of loss of balance climbing stairs) * neurological symptoms reported by specialists. What exactly are these things? Well some are obvious others are not. These are very ...

At the end of the discussion...I want to be wrong. So wrong. I want Paddy to come good and be amazing. I hope a miracle an absolute impossiblilty somehow transpires and Paddy plays 10+ more prpductive healthy seasons.

Sign him to a 2 year contract extension so he can focus on getting his body right!

Ummmm no. Paddy wouldn't be playing every game in place of Roo because physically he CAN'T. That is the point. 3 concussions this season alone and now he is likely to not return until 2018. So, no. He literally can't replace Roo because he is not capable physically. Fact. Dispute it.

He cant get 20 games in a row when does that sink in? I like him. I hoped he would be amazing. But I was gutted when we didnt take Petracca as mids win seasons nowadays not big body forwards. But really who cares? It is unlikely we will see him play many more this season but 4 or 5 would be great e...

I really don't understand this type of decision. Unless contracts are essentially worthless and its a ruse to try and prop up Paddy's self confidence? He is not capable physically at AFL level. What part of 6 concussions in 21 games can't we see? Character and talent to spare but he lacks resilience...

No

As far as instability as an arguement and using 16 years as to prove a point: Bulldogs 6 coaches Terry Wallace 1996–2002 Peter Rohde 2002–04 Rodney Eade 2005–2011 Paul Williams 2011 Brendan McCartney 2012–14 34 Luke Beveridge 2015 By dumping their 5th coach their 6th took them to a GF. Melbourne ha...

How about blaming everyone on the team? Mistackling, poor conversions etc. Its like blaming Roo for missing the goal in the Granny. Team efforts create team wins or losses.

Without a doubt he is fit to play. However the lung injury would set his anaerobic capacity (living in the absence of air) back to a low level. This is critical in elite players to be able to have continuous burst speed without high oxygen levels. Lung injuries will seriously affect this as will the...
