Hind to debut then

I'll jump in and make an out-there statement: given that we need maturity and leadership in the backline, why not play Armo as a short-term, sort of like-for-like replacement for Gears?????

Yep, my thoughts too. I understood that he was a targeted recruit specially for "insurance" backup for KP defenders. So, either the recruiters mis-read his talent or the unexpected development of Joyce and Battle has leap-frogged Austin. Has anybody been watching training closely enough to...

Yep, exactly !!

Sorry to be dim but who TF is Juice???

And one last thing.... Sam Alabakis Remember that name Yeah he was at the AGM Tuesday night - he is so tall he almost needs his own weather forecast. Very big boy. Did you notice the video of Roo presenting the jumpers to the new recruits? When he shook Alabaskis' hand, it seemed to be the first ti...

Certainly seems worth a serious look and deserves another opportunity. (He spent a long time at Adelaide for just a few games but perhaps he is just the type who needed consistent game time to develop - albeit at the State League level.) The problem is that both Carlton and GC will get first choice...

Whoever we pick isn’t going to be perfect otherwise they would still be on their original clubs list. I think we look at the strength they provide and whether it’s soemthin where in short supply of and wether we can live with or improve their weakness. I think the top three areas that people compla...

The most interesting comment to take from that article (that otherwise is mainly the usual pre-season spin) is from Ratten commenting about his role at the club: "I've been given more responsibility at the Saints, which is what I was looking for, and really pleased to be there." The whole ...

I don't think there's been one mention of who we HAVE got in the trade period and pick swaps in the "Saints trade thread". Can anyone enlighten us in this thread? Henneberry & Kent in Lonie Weller & Longer still no contracts for 2019+ But Lonie has just been offered the 2nd year t...

OK - we have to make sure that he gets enough games so that we can claim their sons under the father-son rule.

I have had a look at the list of coaches on the Club website. It is interesting that Ratten is listed (as a Senior Assistant Coach) just below Richardson and ABOVE Sexton (the Director of Coaching). The other coaches then are listed in what appears to be seniority. Maybe I am reading too much into ...

Sorry, but I am very underwhelmed by that video package. As has been pointed out - it is highlights from a single game (at TAC level, not even the interstate carnival) and it shows his clangers and slow-paced work rate as well as a few ordinary marks and some very dodgy kicks. Tell me again; why are...

Should we chase our tails?

Yeah, but we'll insist they take Jack Steven and next years first rounder as a package.

Actually, he was the full time assistant coach responsible for the backline.

OK, so if Mav were to go to GC (which sounds like a plausible possibility) what would we get in return if he is out of contract?? Nothing ?? At best a potential 3rd round pick swap with Mav and our 4th round? OK, thanks for that. At least we would get something. I was wondering whether he could wal...

Hurts like %&# but it is a HUGE opportunity for Paddy and Battle and probably also for Marshall. Maybe there is some good with the bad.

I just love how people write these articles based on a preconceived 3-2-1 system. Brown did 'exactly what the coaches wanted' most of the games he played in - which means he scores highly and consistently. It does not mean he is in the 10 best players on the team, it just means that he did what he ...

OOOKAAAAYYYYY, So, everybody is writing off the no.1 draft pick. Isn't that a really big call?? :shock: To be honest... I haven't read many posts that suggest he hasn't got it. More that he's a concussion away from retirement and it's a hard case to argue against Yep, that's a good point. It just h...
