From Fox Sports: DONS, SAINTS CONCOCTING SHREWD FREE AGENCY PLAY Essendon and St Kilda reportedly in crafty negotiations that could see the Bombers land an extra first round pick at this year’s draft. According to The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph, the clubs’ experienced list bosses Adrian Dodoro and Steph...

Am I missing something? Still not being selected despite being a great user. Hitting targets seems to be an issue at the moment and his ball use is usually excellent. Has his VFL form been that bad? Who's getting the nod ahead of him?

Great result by the team, they deserve a ton of credit. Potentially 7 new players (including Roberton and King) in our best 22 next year.

Go Saints

I must admit, I was a massive critic of him last year. But he's been a real contributor this year and deserves to be in out best 22.

Unfortunately after all the offseason changes, nothing much seems to have changed on the field re our game plan or execution. IMO we’ve beaten two very ordinary teams and all it is doing is papering over the cracks and will keep us on track to mediocrity under Richo. But again, that’s just my opini...

I'm not overly optimistic either, but we will move up the ladder. Improvement will come from: Hannebery Kent (will play if fit, he's quick) Roberton Bruce McCartin Clark + move Billings into the midfield or on to the wing + better draw + 6, 6, 6 will suit us better We'll finish anywhere from 10th to...

What are we likely to get for him?

Time for some Jamie Cripps payback.

Geary and McKenzie - worst on ground. I’m so sick of this sh!t

The spread, finally. Where has that been? Great running Saints.

It will massively help us. Paddy one on one could be a monster. And our midfield lack of class won't hurt us so much. We have some great bookends, we'll be way better. Footy had become unwatchable, the first quarter of the power and dees had me contemplating switching over to the rugby league. But t...

I'd like to see the board say to Richo, "right, the game plan is not working, try something different or you don't get a 2019".

Jaxons didn’t call this no disrespect to hm. One of our own posters did.. Nope. Jaxons referred to "a young defender from P.A".......CTQS worked it out and Jaxons confirmed. Then why not post the target's name if you know it's going to happen? No criticism of Jaxons, but he got scooped th...

They did...Francis was #6. However, our #5 became #6 because of a change in the draft order...can't remember why.

Aha, thanks for clarifying.

I thought Essendon used our pick 5 on Darcy Parish?

...and to rub salt into the wounds, Richmond take his game plan to the finals, execute it 300% better, and come home with a tin cup.

Yep, couldn't have said it better. They've executed our game plan perfectly.

Willl be announced today,

Thanks Jaxons, glad you're still with us.

Out marked by James Kelly...wow.

Now I see why Longer has been playing.

What happened to him?

Gees I hate naming players, but McKenzie and Dunstan turned it over all day. In their defence, no one ran for them. Shocking performance. did you watch the game? dunstan had our third best disposal efficiency today (85%) D-Mac started poorly but improved (75%). Billings, Acres, and Sinclair - all o...

Surely Sydney won't let Mitchell go after tonight's first half? . They may well have the problem of simply not have enough cash with committed contracts. However if the Swans go all the way Tom may well sign on again for less than he wants. So how driven Tom is for more $$ may well be the key. Yea,...

An incredible display football.

He's 26, same age as Rocky.

I'd prefer Pittard
