Good to hear from you Woody. DO you know when he may make a return?

The Pres, is that a reference to Armo, or someone else?

I notice the third Carlton player for the year has been nominated for the Rising Star award. You have to play the youngsters for them to earn a nomination. Long has had two games. Each of our traded in players have played every game.

I doubt they would have taken Paddy with pick two. They already had Hogan.

Another player from GWS of interest would be Himmelberg. GWS wont have pick 17. They lose 1000 points over the Whitfield affair. Their first pick will be 25 or 26. So maybe it might pay to do a Carlton, and say our lst rounder for 2017 and 2018, Whitfield, Hopper, and Himmelberg; Take Hawthorns firs...

You have not shown how we get Smith Joffa.

Are the Saints any better off?
Hickey.
Carlisle
Savage
Steele
Stevens
Freeman
Roberton
Longer
Brown
Dempster
Membrey
Bruce
Weller.
13 a third of our list.

Hawks pick. What do we do with it?
If it is a to[ three pick, do we.
A. Use in the draft?
B. Trade it out for two first round picks, giving us three?
C. Trade it for a player?

If it ends up 4 onwards, we should just take it to the draft.

THOUGHTS...

One of our free kicks against Adelaide was to Josh Bruce I think it was, took a mark in defence, and the umpire called it a free kick to Bruce. I thought, "why would the umpie give a free kick when he has already marked the ball? Ah, the stats.",.Whereas Adelaide get 6 or 7 frees in goal s...

By gee, the Hickey fans have been quiet since his VFL game. I take it he did not star then?

Jigster, the way you are always talking about soccer......
You were'nt born here were you

Did anyone (including Freeman) do enough to warrant promotion to the Saints?

We have Rice who has yet to play, and five unblooded rookies. I doubt they would do any worse than our team tonight. Play a few.

4. Ross.
3. Webster
2.Bruce
2. Sinclair
2. Billings
1. Longer
1. Geary

Not that I thought a lot of our blokes played well, just that none were up for a 5 vote games.

For all of the Hickey fans on here.

Longer had a good game last up. I dont think Hickey did that well at the weekend.

We need to get rid of Holmes. Cant have a ruckman kicking goals now, can we.

If we dip out on Kelly, I would consider Rocky as no draft picks are lost.

Then I would trade out several players to make our drafting position stronger..

Cant see the point of having Dempster on that list when he has retired.

On current form, and what else can you go by, Hickey should not be there, replace him with Longer. Gilbert should be in the top 10, and Roberton about 5.
On his form this year perhaps Bruce should not be in our top 20.

I like the idea of G Train. He lived just around the corner from my current home.

Remember those cheeky runs off the mark, like an umpire would be placing the man on the mark and G Train would be off and kick a goal! There is a lot he could teach our forwards.

weird how they have gone from Indigenous back to Aboriginal.

Our first pick in the last two drafts have been Aboriginal boys. Can we make it three out of three?

To improve our list, this coming trade/draft period, we need to get another tall forward, and a small forward, a couple of mids, and another tall defender who can run. All of the mids and small forward all need to be pacey.
It might be best to trade for the mids, I would draft all of the others.

Goddard coming back from long term injury, I suppose you cant expect too much at this stage.
N.O'Kearney must be close, he has been consistent to a while now.
Dont know if anyone other than Lonie and O'Kearney did enough to warrant a seniors game.

I would leave Josh where he is until he plays a reasonable game. But one change I would consider after the break, Rice in, and let our Captain have a go in the midfield. I think he would go alright. Of course Nick's return is a certainty. Now who to leave out for those two?

Passing to their mates... Sinclair and Billings are guilty of that. You can see they have a good understanding between them.
