Gresham is the poster child of our issues with player development (referring to kicking mechanics). How he's gone this long in our system and still has that kicking action beggars belief. But then again I could say the same for DMac, Battle, Kent, Geary, couple of others and I'll throw in Billings....

If Higgins starts nailing more of his chances he'll look like a star.

Butler succeeded in 2020 when the forward line opened up and let him run over the back into open goals. For whatever reason that hasn't happened in a while.

But yeah, it's not working so far.

If a best 22 mid in the 23-26 age bracket was available I think we should go for them.

I thought Jones was out for personal reasons (mental health?).

Steele had little impact on the game, which was surprisingly. Gresham played his best footy as a forward five years ago. His kicking around the ground has never been great.

He'll be excellent if he starts nailing those shots he misses. I hope it actually happens, sooner rather than later.

Hard to argue with those outs

By a lot of people on here...

Yeah that's what I'd do. $25 per month from say 16 March (when round 1 starts) till mid September (6 months) = $150, plus whatever the membership costs.

Early in his career there were a million posts about him "oozing leadership". That changed along the way. I hope he does better in his move than Craig Devonport did when he went to Carlton.

Yeah you get a couple of months free if you sign up for a year, which would be good for people who are into other sports that are played during the AFL off season.

It's nice to have a win in September

That was great from a Saints perspective and also for Abbott as an individual

He's had a very good career and it's a great effort to make it to 200

My recollection a couple of weeks ago was that his wife/partner was going to have a kid in NSW

Yeah he's been very average for a year or two, but was pretty decent before that, without reaching any great heights.

My stream didn't work until half way through Harvey's speech. I'll have to try to catch the rest later. They've already put video up.

It's just awful. Horrible news for his family.

It's a brilliant channel, so many thanks to the creators of it, if they're reading. It's marvellous that they not only saved so much material over the years, but are going to the effort to make it available to the rest of us.

I'd play Membrey over Bruce. He's generally much more useful, except that he can't really be a relief ruck. If McCartin and King come good I can't see much of a future for Bruce, though I hope I'm wrong. King's youth will buy him a bit of time though. And who knows if Battle and Marshall will make i...

It looks like he's a nice field kick, so I'm not really sure if he'll fit in at St Kilda.

Chief Happiness Officer?

I certainly hope so. He should be a real positive influence around the club. He knows his stuff and is a good bloke to boot.

I'm choosing to remain optimistic! Given I can't control anything to do with St KFC it makes life much more enjoyable.

Looks like he can point and shout, so he might be the next BJ
