Really liked Hickey, Wright and Minch in the first half. All under the pump for their spots but have each been very good.

He's a gun of a guy like Peckett too. He's the type that is such a good club man he will be missed if he goes. He potentially has a few more years left in output and his quality is very consistent. That's the exact reason why, if it was up to me, I'd rather Ray than Gilbert. Similar age, similar ou...

Hughes role at St Kilda is very different to his role at Carlton. His role at the Saints is to focus on AFL listed players for trade and free agency purposes whereas he was mainly looking at underage talent at Carlton. Much easier role at St Kilda in theory as AFL listed players are a known quantity...

Really excited to see the class of '14 playing together - McCartin, Goddard, McKenzie, Lonie, Sinclair.

I think Acres, Wright and Ross need game time so hoping McKenzie is the sub.

McKenzie touched it 9 times for Sandringham on the weekend, Ross 25 times. Ross is stiff.

I've decided - Dylan Roberton.

Since the start of 2013, Billings has suffered: - Knee bursitis - Quad strain - 2 x hamstring strains - Tibial stress response/fracture Of those, only the hamstrings are of any concern to me. Like a few on here have mentioned, Jack has put on a significant amount of weight since he arrived at the cl...

Thanks for the updates everyone. Much appreciated. Anyone have more notes on Lee today and/or for the season? Seems to have had a pretty solid year as a key back, do people who watch Sandy regularly think he is a chance to play at the top level as a defender? Uses the ball beautifully, haven't seen ...

We have a ripper in Richo.

Like all Saints fans I really hope Spencer makes it. However, I simply cannot fathom how so many people here want him to be picked in the senior side despite his inability to play well with Sandringham's twos. Sandringham's senior side plays against better opposition than Sandy's development team an...

5 Weller
4 Armitage
3 Savage
2 Dunstan
1 Montagna

Was training with the main group spasmodically, with swimming sessions and work in the altitude room on the harness treadmill. It is not a stress fracture, but after he had his soft tissue injury pre season he put a lot of miles in his legs and it's told. They played him mainly forward instead of r...

SMS, this is the most ridiculous thread I have read on this forum and that is saying something!! To think that the bloke you've seen is the only medical professional that knows anything about shin splints is laughable. Yes you may have seen some crap podiatrists in the past but that is why they wor...

Isn't he in the leadership group this year?
As the season wears on he may come in to his own.
Last week was his best match for the season as far as I'm concerned

Agree.

What are they doing about it?

Just ice and rest and physio?? Short term fix.

I'm a young physio myself. Andrew Wallis is one of the best I've come across. He'll be right.

What exactly did he do that was good? He doesn't get much of the ball, he doesn't take many marks, his kicking not what it was reputed to be. I'm not really sure what he brings to the table. I think he's been watching videos of Jodi Arnol. Billings misses a lot of targets and shots on goal for some...

5 Leigh Montagna - was everywhere
4 Jack Newnes - sloppy early but really good afterwards
3 Dylan Roberton - ever reliable
2 Sean Dempster - was Stringer out there?
1 Luke Delaney - Tom Boyd is his bunny. Got a fist on everything. Boyd had to go into the ruck to discover what colour the ball was.

Not going to include everyone, but here's some.. Armo is the main exceeder, Lonie and Sinclair are surprise exceeders, Roberton, Bruce (got in the goal kickers earlier on, but needs to keep the momentum up) and then there's the rest (Roo is in his own category) Progressing: Webster, Billings, Steve...

From the club's Facebook page; Dylan til the end of 2017 and Cam til the end of 2016. I am not surprised. Dylan on track for a top 5 in the B & F. Shenton is better than people imagine in today's footy. Tall guy who can run and kicks it ok. Not easily replaced. Really Shenton kicks it ok ..?? H...

Good for Minch.

No doubt at all that Sinclair has showed plenty of promise, BUT Schneider really should, and probably will be promoted. He's averaging over 20 disposals per game compared to Sinclair's 12.1 he also averages more tackles and marks. Don't get me wrong, Sinclair has been fantastic for us and will cont...

Out Shenton Ray n Roberton ? . Roberton? Just about our best on the weekend Yep Roberton was good but Gilbert is in and if Hugh plays and we need another tall out goes Shenton and Roberton . Think tony said Hugh might get a run . Roberton wouldn't be far away from a top 5 BnF finish if the season f...

Watch Melbourne v Collingwood, Bradshaw is a gun, would've been good to pick him.. The plan should be to win as many games and build a winning culture at the saints unlike Melbourne back in 09.. Hopefully guns like Brayshaw and maybe Petracca will come to us as FA's Should we make a play for Shiel ...

It has gotten quite a bit of coverage lately that David Armitage sat down with Richo and spoke about emulating Jordan Lewis and it has done wonders for Armo. I think Richo/Skrobalak/Kingsley could do worse than sit down with Bill and go through Todd Goldstein's tapes. I think Billy has the ability a...
