Lyon and that idiot Misson are obviously giving him the Luke Ball treatment. What NcQualters or Peakes are they thinking of replacing him with? Billings was injured for most of the year and when he wasnt his form in the VFL was nothing outstanding. When was RTB meant to play him? Pretty harsh when ...

Liam Henry....?

Did anyone recall seeing the No 1 draft pick Aaron Cadman play this year? He looked like a fish out of water at AFL level, its obvious the key forwards take sometime to develop. If we held last years draft mid way through this season Caminiti would have been taken in the top 5. Yes he made some erro...

Maybe Caminiti. I don't think he's that good. Unless Caminiti improves another 50% next year he won't stay on. Wow surely you are baiting people, if not that is one of the most ill informed statements I have seen on this site. Caminiti will be a key forward at St Kilda for the next 12 years. Playin...

He cant be drafted until next year, so unless the rules change we have to hope he goes outside the top 40 picks.

I think now that we have missed on Flanders, Henry might get a few extra $$$ offerred his way. Hopefully he nominates us and we get him for a 2nd round pick or similiar.

Stop the two Green/es, and we win!

Mitch Owens will return to form after a couple of quiter games. With Ross back in the mids I think we will throw him back as the chop out ruckman and he will have a blinder kicking 5 goals. Max King to kick 6 goals - without Taylor playing. Sharman will get the nod over Hayes as he does a good job o...

He was playing nervously today - he struggles when there in a high pressure games.

OP couldn't be further from the truth. They absolutely flogged us apart from the 3rd quarter and if they kick straight they win by 10 goals or more. They had 61 inside F50 entries to our 38 and doubled us in stoppage clearances, thats a smashing.

Love Coops but Hayes is more of a finals prospect at this stage of their careers. Bigger body and can give Roma a chop out rather than throwing poor old Mitch Owens into the ruck. Jack got better as the game went on. Will be better for the run. I agree I would like to see Hayes hold his spot. Sharm...

Ill be happy if we win a final, anything else is a major bonus!

Hope he is retained, has something we lack in regard to elite foot skills and poise. Just needs some continuity of games. He will never be a superstar but what he could be is the cream to go along with Steele, Owens, Nasiah , King , which great teams have. Agree but I think the club are looking for...

Have the ones that reckon the change of coach was a bad decision had a change of heart ? RTB fanboy Absolutely, we had the same mid season form slump but RTB has been able to work us out of this years. Plus plenty of players have improved and others have had games on the back of our huge injury lis...

As I see it - we are 8th if we do not beat Geelong

And then finishing 9th if we don't then beat Brisbane

If we dont beat either Geelong or Brisbane we dont deserve to play finals - simple.

He still has work to do would like to see him get a bit bigger & stronger, but he could always play there is no doubting that.

Be happy to trade it out for a player like Flanders, but its looking less likely. Hopefully the club can work their way up to the get another early pick somehow?

Blame John Beveridge. Grant Thomas was keen but Beveridge said it was not a good idea to have cousins playing together. I think John had lost the plot by that stage I remember seeing Jack at the draft combine - he was a brash cocky youngster who I guess Beveridge didnt warm to. At the time we had K...

Vortex you have delisted 8 players, how many new players do you think we can bring in in one period. If we trade in 3 at most thats still 5 positions to fill. This years draft is considered not that deep and most pundits only expect 50 kids to be taken. 5 draft picks in a shallow draft pool with wha...

Its surprising given the number of academy players we have coming through. Does that mean Peris doesnt get any more time? If they think and Irish kid is going to develop any quicker history tells us otherwise.

We won but I doubt anyone is convinced the team are in anyway near the best form.

Agree with the thread, Cordy had his most solid game down back today. He looked really assured and composed today, hopefully he can continue that form next week. I dont know if Hawkins is back next week, but if he is Cordy will have his hands full. Wilkie generally gets Cameron, so it will be a toug...

Cooper had his most consistent game today, I was surprised he was subbed out.

I am usually optimistic, but the reality is our form is very ordinary and unless we can do a complete lazarus I dont see us playing finals.

If we do I hope we can be competitive???
