The AFL illicit drug policy is stronger and harder than that of any other sport I know, the AFL are testing constantly for NON performance enhancing drugs both in and out of competition, in most other other workplaces the only way you will get busted for this kind of activity is to turn up smashed o...

I think many problems can and should be pointed back at the AFL, the issue of tanking is a by product of an unfair fixture and a draft system that heavily favoured terrible performance! I also believe that the tribunal/MRP has been poorly handled by this administration! Unlike many others though, I ...

Hurley or Natinui for me!

Don't believe for a second the club were happy to see the back of him but respect the decision to stay true to a payment structure that they see as fair and reasonable! I loved BJ as a player and his attitude to the opposition but am strangely buoyed by our list management and game style! Club is bi...

Would hate to see co-captains again! Don't like the concept! Leadership groups are good but one skipper is still needed IMO, players vote these days I think!

Liked the look of his speed and casual kicking style, those things won't change, one grab marks and finding space are just highlights, may not necessarily be strengths, time will tell!

Stanley is not a ruck I saw him ruck against Natanui until injured and looked OK. Hope Pierce comes on quickly because Mac can not get off the ground or palm the ball well. He seems best roaming the ground taking marks but in the ruck he just provides a contest. You don't get it... there's no point...

Guerra, favourite son?

Disrespectful to the greats of our club!

CJ, not in our future but contract should be honoured IMO

How many red heads we looking at? What about guys with blue eyes? Any homosexuals?

Not sure I like this race based segregation of possible draftees, best available regardless of colour creed religion, good people good footballers is what we need!

Will they still be forced to use 3 picks in the draft?

No Plugger your right of course its all legit. Just like its legit that Travis Cloke was given an $80000 Maloo Ute to drive around in. All legit. :roll: Nick Reiwoldt cruises around in a pretty flash Mercedes Benz in his ambasadoral Role for Mercedes of Melbourne. I think Nick DalSanto has a deal w...

Who do you think will get the feet? I like dancing Doug Hawkins!

Only read the first page so this may have been said!
There's only one reason BJ left, because we didn't match Essendons offer!
Ball was in our court, we made a business decision based on our opinion of his worth!

Don't think he has much tactical vision when it comes to the game, more of an analyst after the fact! Enjoy his posts and his humour, not everyone can be forward thinking! True. It's a pity because I feel he may have something worthwhile to contribute but perhaps lacks the confidence to say it in a...

Don't think he has much tactical vision when it comes to the game, more of an analyst after the fact! Enjoy his posts and his humour, not everyone can be forward thinking! You need glass is half empty guys to provide balance and evoke the creative people to find new strategy!

How long was barker actually captain, my recollection tells me not a great deal of time, he has the b&f named after him and I concur with that, he is my childhood hero but like Harvey doesn't go down to me as one of our great captains! If you wanted a captains number then Frawley or Burke are t...

Will be a very good footballer for 200+ games IMO. May play full back but not ideally, more like a Scarlett type role!

Tom Simpkin my smokey for 2014/15, roo until then!

By the way I dont pick sides because it is is impossible. C'mon, have a shot at it just this once. Let's see how good you are. I think it is only fair that you put yourself up to our scrutiny. You know it's not gonna happen! Best thing about this thread is seeing everyone's perspective, unlikely an...

If we are going to stay true to our player payment policy then we are not going to offer anyone more than 600k a year, means its unlikely we would be targeting players based on money! If Pelchen has a 'no signing awesome players to >1/20th of the cap' policy, then I'd happily see him fired. Not say...

At times WCE played very tall and to good effect. They had Cox and Natinui as the two rucks as well as Darling, Kennedy and Lynch in the forward line. Cox....McEvoy Hickey....Natinui Stanley....Kennedy Riewoldt....Darling Lee....Lynch As well as that WCE play quite tall down back so we can sit McEv...

I have no opinion on Jayden Post and doubt whether those for or those against have a really informed opinion either, some may but most have probably only seen him play a few times! My question is why do we appear so adamant that we must recruit anyone in a FB role, we didn't have anyone last year an...

Time will tell, seems doubtful that Watters would be openly discussing tactical plans for 2013 b4 a list is finalised or preseason is underway so probably jut musing on his options and keeping us in the news a bit!

Hi Sainters, Didn't take long to erase the delisted players from our official website - no Gram on Monday and no Raph on Tues night! Ruthless efficiency!! A bit sad, but that is the reality and they are no longer Saints. Quite a few vacant spots. Let's hope we fill 'em with some decent picks - alre...

On football ability you would think so, would be on a reduced price but could conceivably earn a best 25 spot in most sides. I would imagine some clubs would be getting very well acquainted with the story from all involved to try and work out where his heads at! My first thought was Collingwood, the...
