Re: Any News on our new List manager!!

If he gets a game, it's because he is ahead of them . What if he is better? Do we never recuit rookies who may or may not be better than what we got ever again? He has only been offered a list spot- no guarantee of games What have either of Byrnes or Bytel done that makes them a better prospect?. B...

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!

Harsh assessment on Stocker. How old do you think he is? Same draft and same school as Max, pick19, was a free hit as a SSP. Was invited to train and had to prove himself which the coaches obviously think he has. Quite likely one that didn't handle the covid lockdown well. Was there someone that's ...

You know there are jobs for the boys... just have to look for them. I am just writing off Bassat now. Just another in a long list of whatevers...

Re: Hayes now injured

What’s the injury Fracture?? I heard meniscus. Saints.com site says it’s a metatarsal break in left foot and he’s being operated on tomorrow to stabilize it. Metatarsal breaks aren’t great… 10 week injury means he then needs 6-10 weeks of training after training start to get to a fitness break even...

Re: Is Lyon mark 2 the right fit for the saints

Put it this way, Kennedy isn’t going to get StK to a premiership next year. He will take a development spot away. So, it’s better to play Cooper and see him as a Membrey replacement when he goes. Membrey is close to 30 anyway…

Re: Is Nick US bound?

Sorry Nick, the grass always looks greener in a different backyard.

USA is not a good alternative for a middle aged dad who is on a cruise control financially. Just doesn’t make any sense.

I am expecting him to be back in 2024 In Melbourne.

Take these in context. Matt Allison didn’t finish last but is still to debut. The top 5 in Wood’s group though are a higher chance to feature in round 1.

Re: Round Three, 2022 v Richmond.

If you see Richmond games from that time, they were wrong footed on fitness and continually performed badly in the second half of games. So, st kilda’s fitness at that point was quite good.

Re: Jarrod Lienert delisted

He didn't do a lot wrong, he gave his all. His issue was that he was a midfielder trapped in a KPP's body and he couldn't work out how to bridge the gap. He could have been a decent hybrid defender. I'm glad we gave him a go. He wasn't far off at all. But he did make mistakes under pressure and did...

Don’t worry. I don’t expect mediocrity next year. That would imply a 8-12 ladder spot.

I am guessing 15-17th at this stage.

Re: Official AFL trade week thread

@groupie1 Rucks usually play for a long time than the usual midfielders. Ryder played till 35. No reason for Grundy not to.

Agree re NWM. The SA clubs will have a pick in 2024 draft to trade then or it can be a player.
