200cm+ key forwards are so rare. To give one away would be insane.
Okay, he's not Nick Riewoldt or Jeremy Cameron, but he's a handful for opposition backmen. The only reason you would move him on is if you had an equally tall, agile forward who's ready to blossom.

Re: Something Is Missing
It's been a slog with key players missing in the first 8 rounds. That adds a lot more responsibility on the senior players left to carry the load, especially when very green youngsters were added to the team, making that load even greater. Anyone who thinks that doesn't effect performance and energy...

Re: Sandringham v Frankston
I find it hard to see Heath transitioning successfully to the AFL at this stage. At 204cm he has the height but he still lacks the physical strength required given that he's not the high leaping athletic type. He moves like an old fashion ruckman. If he came up against a talented, agile ruckman in t...

Re: Still effing pathetic
Dumb football in the first quarter. Just so so in the second, but I thought we looked like we had more cohesion in that second half.
Dow and Clark were solid. Excellent job Windhager
Overall, a small step in the right direction

Re: Team for Saturday
Lyon wants to play Crouch ( see his press conference). He just wants to make sure he can comfortably run out a game.
What this year has shown is we're a better team when Crouch is playing.

His highlights reel is promising. Looks like he has an ability to extract himself from tight stoppage situations. Decent evasive skills which is something that is in short supply at our club

Sinclair. Interrupted pre-season. Missed last 5 weeks of the preseason. Came in underdone. Missed game one Crouch. Two surgeries in the off season. Played sore round one. Has not played since. Should return soon Clark. His best preseason until he ripped a calf on week from round 1. Has not played AF...

Re: Bassat has a lot to answer for
In the end, it may be a blessing. We will not get better until we secure some high end midfield talent. The best way to do that is to get a pick in the top 5 in the draft and hopefully grab a free agent. Without that, we will continue to be on the back foot in games. If you can't at least break even...

Re: Bassat has a lot to answer for
I think we need to calm down. We all know our midfield is second rate at best, and this is primarily the fault of Tony Elshaug, not Ross Lyon This club has not drafted a single A grade midfielder in 15 years. Lyon is acutely aware of the impotence of our midfield. He has been dealt the additional bl...

Re: Phillipou
He may not live up to initial expectations. He wouldn't be the first. However, he's still very young. He's closer in style to Brendan Goddard rather than a true inside midfielder. The troubling part is that he's not getting to where the ball is and seems to be way off the pace in reading the game. I...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Wow, Ryan Byrnes back on the wing. How does that happen?
In the past six weeks he's been terrible at AFL and VFL level
Surely it would have been better to put Henry on the wing and played Clark as a sub.
