Ryder should be used as a top-up.
He can't string two games together due to age, what's the point, he'll probably retire at the end of the year. If we have to rely on him, that's an issue.

Re: Great news folks on clash jumper
Meh, prefer the candy stripe one.
And the home jumper needs black piping... imo the 2010 (iirc?) home jumper was the best we've had.

Re: Clubs asking about Ben Long.
Rule 1: Never trade with Essendon
Rule 2: See rule one
I am tired of being rooted by Essendon, STOP DEALING WITH DODORO AND ESSENDON PERIOD. Tell Dororo first round pick for anyone. I don't care about them anymore, every trade has turned out terrible with them, stop doing it.

Re: The huge ? Ben King
I'd be happy for the club to go all out. We know what we're getting and they don't come often.
Yes, we need midfielders 100% been saying it for yonks, but this is an exception. You also need to think about injuries, if Max is out injured then what? Just Membrey?

Re: Nathan Freeman
Our midfield is crap, and I have no idea why we delisted him after spending all that time getting him right. Happy to give him another go, the wrong call was made last time imo, way too early.

Re: Brad Hill iis a Cancer that needs excising
The problem I see with Hill is, he keeps getting the ball in positions that don't matter, like the back pocket. What we all want him to do is obtain the ball just past the wing and deliver it to King on a string or at least be that player that a defender can kick the ball too, and then play on. That...

Re: Our ruck situation
Please try Alabakis.
When Marlion Pickett at 184cm was winning the ruck tap outs, its kind of ridiculous, to the point that we might as well try something different.

I'd keep McKernan in as he can play multiple positions. I don't think Hunter will go well against Gawn.

Re: Ben Long One Week
AFL cannot have it both ways. You cannot let Pickett off, and then suspend Long. You need consistency.
The outcome should be the same as Pickett.

Re: I feel sorry for Max King
Bradley Hill needs to kick the ball to a lead or at least to the advantage of a saints forward. With few minutes to go, he just bombed it to no one. He also fumbles a lot. I wish he fixed those two issues.

Re: Our forward line is why we MUST play two rucks
I don't think it's that simple. Blicavs is a bloody running machine and Stanley goes OK. Geelong were starting with Stanley and Blicavs was going from the wing into the ruck. There is 0 chance that Paddy would keep up with Blicavs, that blokes a running machine, which would mean he'd have to take St...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Pies Round 3 2020
I don't understand why Hill is getting the ball in the backline and then struggling to find a player to kick to. Why isn't he on the wing, so when the defenders get it, they have somewhere to kick to? Are we out of position? Why is a winger getting the ball in the backline instead of receiving it on...

Re: Jack Newnes
Arguably Kent earned his pay packet in 2019, so he resets in 2020 at the start of his 2nd year of a 3 year deal and has it all before him to prove himself. Personally I think he showed enough in 2019 to suggest he can provide an ROI for the remainder of his contract. If he stays injury free he will...

Can someone please tell me what picks we have for 2020?
Is it just....
1x - First Round
2x - Fourth Round
So we've lost both second and third round picks?

Re: Acres
If it's Pick 10, Blake acres and a future second rounder, we got royally bent over for hill big time. Joke.
I have a funny feeling Hill will end up like hannerbery, and be injury prone. Time will tell. It's way too much to pay for one player.

I sure to hell hope Howard is worth Pick 18....
