Re: Ye old Cordy
I really like cordy he is smart and reads the play well but unlike Dougal, Battle, Bonnar he does NOT turn the ball over constantly he is very safe with the ball and makes good decisions. I don't really care about his stats as a Backman he has a job and he does it very well he covers well for the ot...

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
Would you be happy with a 2nd round pick for Battle? The odds of a 2nd rounder being at his level is 3-1 imo Prefer to keep him - draft picks mean FA Look at Geelong and Norrh I am not sure Battle wants to stay as he has had a offer on the table for some time now and hasn't resigned. Also a few tea...

Re: Gold Coast, Ben Long
When are the suns going to made to treat there academy players like all the other clubs being able to pick them until pick 40 before they can match a pick. Its a really unfair advantage they have at the moment and even the other interstate clubs are not happy about it. I thought the AFL was looking ...

Re: Injury Update

Re: Philipou’s Manager
How many times did Marshall grab the ball at the Centre bounce and attempt to kick it? How often were these kicks effective or led to a goal. Not many,if any, if I recall. Is this the nub of the mids problem? We all know Marshall is not a good tap ruckman but is good around the ground. Also when Ha...

Re: King ...out of form or
He's not the wrestling contested mark forward he thinks he is. Needs to play much further up the ground. Kind should play at CHF he has the athleticism to be a champion CHF. He would generally only find 1 opponents there and with his skill in the air and below his knees would be a hard match up. He...

Is it time to play Pou at HBF
I would pay Pou on Half back line it would allow him to get his hands on the ball build confidence and he would have a lot of experience around him. Its about decision making as he has a big kick he could really turn into a weapon there. Once he gets confidence back move him to where ever coaches wo...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Pou pick 10 in 2022 draft. IMHO Wilson has gone way past Pou despite Wilson pick 18 in 2023 draft and a handful of games. Garcia pick 50 in 2023 and a couple of games is as valuable as Pou and has overtaken Hastie pick 33 in 2023. But Pou will should continue to get games until the teams injury lis...

Re: Marshall
Xerri is a good player but any doubt i think Marshall gets a week rest and bring in Campbell. Assuming King comes in for Sharman, then perhaps make a call between Cama and Hayes playing as a forward and back up ruck Why would you drop Camaniti he has been good up forward there is no good reason not...

Re: Comparing our Outs to other teams
I would play King at CHF where he has room to manoeuvrer he is quick enough and would not always have 2 big monsters on him have Either Marshall or Hayes at FF with caminiti HFF with Membery and Owens with a small around them. I hear you saying its to slow to big but isn't that what we need we often...

Re: AFL exposure for young players
I agree we need a Saints VFL side play out of Moorabbin under our system. All our players would play and train at RESA park all the time not train there a few times then off to Sandy to train as well it can not be good for continuity of footy. Plus the sandy ground is terrible to play on and very sm...

Re: Drafting 25
What's our draft hand like in this years draft? I recall we did a bunch of pick trades and I think have Adelaide's second rounder. We gave up a second rounder for Henry but got one back from GWS for letting them move up the draft order. Now that Battle has some interest from other clubs and is a RF...

Re: Moving the magnets
Howard has played with some success as a key forward at PA. If we are happy with Corey perhaps Howard plays forward with King, that gives us two pretty quick mobile 200cm types to match up on up forward. Really like it when someone thinks outside the box could happen but I don't think so. We need t...

Re: Elwood Peckett
Rookie selection option at absolute best IMO. Frankie Pickett will be a possible father daughter selection. Unfortunately I don’t rate Boston Everett as a high end talent either. Still, things can turn in a short period of time at that age so fingers crossed. I’m waiting and hoping I’m still around...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Battle is one also not resigned he is a RFA and when we offered him a 3-4 year deal a few years ago he only wonted 2 years so he could go into free agency. I would trade him and get a early-Mid second for him to ad to our trade picks for 25 which would allow us to go after a big fish. Now we have Va...

Re: Trade King
Play King a CHF he is mobile and it would allow him to receive the ball on the move harder for defence to match up on.
He would be in the play more often and he is good below knees.

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
