Re: Saints team v druggies
Not surprised Caminti selected ahead of Sharman - who I think is quite a long way down the pecking order. Pleased to see Butler named on the bench. Needs a massive rocket. Not sure how stocker gets a game - I thought he was very average last week. Would have preferred to see Campbell get a few minut...

Re: Positive review of St Kilda after last Friday's practice match
We got scored heavily off the turnover out of our forward line last year and this is where I think Mitch has Sharman covered in a Lyon's defensive focused side, once the ball hits the deck, time will tell though when he gets more games against the big boys. I think many on here will be surprised at...

Re: Owens
If he held his marks and kicks straight we all froth
He looks a prospect but just doesn’t quite have the polish
Which is why he will be a constant tease and source of frustration

Re: Match SIM squad & Match Thread v Melbourne 24/02/23
Sharman needs to play deep forward where his footy iq can be maximised. He looks like he is a long way back in the pecking order. I liked the look of Cominti - probably just ahead of Sharman and took some nice grabs, but another dodgy kick. Will be interesting to see how much upside the boy has over...

Re: Game vs Melbourne
Cheers SM65, in the eras of drafts, where all the clubs choose from the same gene pool, do you have any idea why the skills of our players would be less than an opposition, chosen from the same gene pool? Because we had poor recruiting team for far too long - and the coach (Richo) prioritised effor...

Re: Wanganeen-Milera
He will be a very good player. This year is another development year, and he will get better again next year. His tackling wasn’t bad last year, and was better than Hills tackling- and NWM will get better this year. Will enjoy watching him pull the trigger on the high risk kicks and make most of the...

Re: Best Available 22 Rnd 1
so far, I think King is the only lock from our best 23 that has been ruled out for R1 ? I cant quite work out if McKenzie will be available or not - but if fully fit, then he is in the mix for best 23. Hayes, from the small sample size we saw last year, you could argue is also in our best 23. Coff y...

Re: Zak Jones
His best has him among our top five players. His worst is VFL Reserves standard. It's all about effort, he's got all the other tools. Agree on the first 2 points. I think it’s more attitude and fitness . Looks the type that lets things get under his skin, and when he is not 100% fit his form drops ...

Re: Gags going at end of 2022
Gags harshly judged on my opinion Put together a list that played finals , and if wasn’t for a few key outs after the bulldogs final , may well have given Richmond a hell of a scare the following week. 2021 destroyed by injuries with at times only 25ish fit players to choose from - and yet were stil...

Re: What a brilliant draft - well done Saints!
To be honest Phillipou just fell into our lap. And if it wasn’t him it probably would have been McKenzie so no credit to Gallagher is warranted. The top 10 players were pretty well known and we were always going to get the last one left. Van Es was expected to go in the 30’s and you don’t have to b...

Re: What a brilliant draft - well done Saints!
Most excited I’ve been after a draft for a number of years. I know they haven’t played a game yet , and maybe I’m swept up in the hyperbole of the last month or so but it just feels like we nailed it, and there is some growth potential in the list now. And kudos to James Gallagher here - this was ex...

A great post Finna! Belief is a huge thing in footy and having RTB and Lenny back at the club will inspire the entire club to levels they havent experienced in years. Exciting times ahead!

Re: A Ratten hypothetical
Too many of our players can’t hit a target by foot when under pressure. Similarly too many just blast the ball forward blindly. It’s why we need to hold onto NWM and anyone else who can hit a target. Best gameplan in the world cant make up for the shortcomings above. The one obvious criticism I woul...
