Ridiculous amount to keep Steven however we have money to spend, why not?

Coaches like Clarkson, Lyon and Longmire stamped a definite style on their teams immediately... Clarkson's team won 5 games in his first season. Longmire took a team that had finished 5th the year before and guided them to 7th. Lyon's first year we missed the finals even though we'd played finals t...

despite being an absolutely crap side for 2014 and probably will be for 2015, it has been a fantastic pre-season

I would play White from Round 1 without hesitation. We are not a team where it's hard to break into due to strength across all positions, so for me it is open slather to see who steps up early, and we do need X-factor players although that type of erratic player doesn't fit well with process coache...

I'm clearly out of sync, I don't profess to know anything, I know very little in fact....but wow...I really don't agree. People blinded by the flashy lights at times, and don't understand that sometimes with flash, there is too much picking and choosing when to go. Footskills, sure they are importa...

http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/north-melbourne-chairman-james-brayshaw-slams-etihad-stadium-deal-20150319-1m2urf.html Brayshaw has paid out nicely on the idiotic deal North (and also us of course) get at Etihad. Good to see the current Etihad chief buries his sand in the pit just like Collo di...

I think it proves how bad we are going when just about everyone has Membury in their team. I to think he will be picked but on form he shouldn't be close to getting a game. Shenton is similar. He is a very ordinary player that I wish I could play like but he isn't really much good. Slow and not a g...

+1 if you agree.

Mods, please give this thread 24 hours and then lock.

Ta.

Fantastic. A thread on banning a Member.

How about you shut up. That would be easier.

You forget MSG, that Pelchen gave guys like Polo, Peake and Clarke extra years...all of them playing until end of 2012. He had an obsession with 2 years for guys not going anywhere. I'm not an accountant, but the books looked off to me. I'd have made it work personally. The fact that Clinton Jones,...

Saints pre 1997 GF was a rucking issue, if our ruckman were injured or past their prime then rucking issue, if going for a flag this year then an issue. It must be considered in context of where we finished last year. Having 4 developing ruckman is a non-issue for a developing team. I think it's ex...

Ross looks like a cliched in and under player with decent-enough foot skills. Hardly a world beater but every good side has a few.

The aim (for the football club) is for Ross to be our 22nd player picked every week. Then, it displays that we have improved but also he has.

Good to get more info.

Sorry to hear Batnoe was burping all over you

It was a blight on my day

yeah but how fit are you looking these days boi?

There are some great reviews on the team board at bigfooty. One in particular from someone at the game Interesting that the wind was much stronger in qtr 4 and favoured the Lions. Considering we ran all over them, it is exactly what I wanted to hear. Watching the feed i was happy we ran out the gam...

In terms of trades I reckon we made the right decisions regarding McEvoy and Longer, but I have been disappointed with Longer's development. I think Longer is a great tap ruckman and he's hard at it when the ball hits the ground but he should be giving a marking option around the ground and he's ju...

Judge Lee at the end of the year ..not now . He will need 5 or 6 games this year to test himself out with an eye to 2016 , yes the jury is out on him but he has been badly injured the last few years , which psychologically damages you as a player as you dont trust your body so your our mindset is o...

This is f****** ridiculous. f*** them. kill them

It's Barry Hall isn't it?

When Barry Hall smiles he is handsome

Well if we want to compare. When he was 20 Rhys played 7 senior games. So if Lewis plays 7 senior games this season- then he will be equal with Rhys at the same age. Seems fairly possible to me that he could play 7 games this year. No it wouldn't as they are two different players, ideally different...

To me he plays Round 1. Furthermore he has enough life left in him to be of use as ideally we rise up the ladder.

I like the way the club is going about it. Continued community engagement should equal additional revenue via membership despite our team probably going to be bloody awful in 2015.

Too much about the individual not enough about the team.

Him or us?

Us, but even the coaches are in awe of him IMHO!

So they should be. He is amazing.

I reckon he is real chance to play as a leading forward but if they cant fit him there I would play him as a leading forward. The only option I see for the AA is as a leading forward. I think the Richo-role as a player in a crap team that runs around is suitable. Considering the uber-talent that ha...

On a well needed holiday to Australia last month, went to a huge pie shop at a big servo stop just north of Newcastle and saw a middle aged bloke in a Saints polo with a couple of kids. I felt like going up to him and shouting GO SAINTS! but didn't want to act unseemly in front of my family. But yo...

Sounds like crap to me. Actually im sure it is crap but spread rumours if you like.

As per usual, if something is not known by you it must be garbage?
