I’m with you Wolfgang, I’ve read it twice and still can’t understand it.


I will admit to being a little concerned when I read the below

Ive never seen that happen, even when Molly came...

CLASSIC !!!

If Jake Lever was worth 2 first rounders, as was Treloar, then Dylan Shiel will cost the same.
Carlton could orchestrate this with their 1st pick, downgrading and combining the priority pick
they will receive.
There are no provisions around on trading a priority pick are there ?

He knows he's been shopped around and will be traded out. I used to be a bit of a fan but not so in the last 2-3 seasons....was more likely based on potential...but l have moved on from those optimistic wishes. Butchers the ball despite being quite a decent kick technique wise. Decision making is su...

Maybe not dropping Newnes is 'fattening' him up for a trade at seasons end.
On form he should have been gone months ago....but if he was getting the chop from our 15th placed team in the last few rounds his market appeal would be diminished somewhat I would think.

Just a thought...

When Weller was 'out' for the Dogs game - for memory is was rested or sore.

He was actually dropped for the game.

Is Lycett any good ?....not hard to be better than the two incumbents, Messrs Hickey & Longer...but is he really going to be a great strong ruckman for us. I haven't seen a lot of him to be honest...but if what I have read here is somewhere near the mark of 5 years / $700k per year then Wow...he...

Have been told that it is done and expect Brett Ratten to join the Saints coaching panel in 2019 as an ASSITANT coach....

Fairly sure l'm allowed an opinion.... What other players do we keep while they work on other parts of their game ?! Goddard ?! Wright ?! Lonie ?! .uk Of course you're allowed an opinion. I'm allowed to disagree with it. Thats the beauty of fan forums!! We can agree to disagree. :lol: Goddard I'd d...

Good on Freeman for his resilience and getting a game under his belt. Unfotunately for him l think he will not be offered another contract. He has no longer got what was the one ingredient we all wanted him to have....his speed and breakaway pace. Whether he is only going at 80% to protect his hamm...

Agree there are a few in front of him....sad reflection of our list.
There in lies the problem, 10 or so list changes realistically needed, but the incoming 10
need to be upgrades or potential upgrades on the departing.

It's just a discussion piece....we have a top 5 pick and a 50 something pick. We won't get a free agency so we have to package something up to get either players or draft picks. The alternative is we draft a youngster with our top 5 pick who plays at Sandy and doesn't / can't impact for a couple of ...

Lonie out.....WTF was he even in for.
If he is getting a game the young ones putting their hands up at Sandy must actually be shyte !!

I'd be trying to off-load Webster and particularly Newnes to get back into this draft. Replaceable with others on our list and reckon Newnes has hit his ceiling. Webster still has upside so would possibly add to his trade appeal. Newnes butchers the ball and l think has no real feel for the game. We...

Gee he tackles really hard, very physical which was outstanding...

Bruce is a dumbsass...this is the reason he was moved from the backline to forward line originally. He was recruited from GWS to play centre half back but due to his inability to grasp set-plays, think quick enough, show initiative and play in a smart team oriented manner he was moved from the back ...

So Devon Smith goes to the Bombers

Saints have dodged a low flying dwarf shot from a cannon there !!

7 & 8 to the draft we go !

Lack of leadership is glaring..... Minch is just not up to it....Play Long or Wright... Mav to Sandy for a spell, lazy today and not handballing in the 4th and going himself over the shoulder just reeks of a selfish mindset. The presuure and tackling were top notch - just totally butchered the ball ...

Garbage today....not running and presenting forced the stop start, backwards, constant switching. Missed Roo immensely - his workrate to provide the option is crucial to us transitioning out of defence. Webster's kicking also missed. The skills the last two weeks have been sub-standard and were not ...

It's ok because now the dogs have won Apparently we are going to know?! Fait accompli Just have to Get better player, beat a few new powerhouses, have the umps have a 180 degree feeling about us and finally Defy the odds But apparently that will happen all the time now because It happened today.......

Wtf is going on with all of this Hawthorn rubbish? Carlisle has personally rung Richo to reiterate he is as good as guaranteed to be a Saint. His manager has been with Bains a lot of the day, has confirmed he will get his client to the Saints. Watch the interview with Carlisles manager, he couldn't...

Pick 5 is out of our pocket and on the table now. Bombers will just keep pushing and pushing until they get it clean. It's obvious to everyone we don't have the balls to walk away - thats a fatal mistake. We blinked. Goodbye elite midfielder. Maybe next year but we will probably trade that away for...
