With the apparent large amount of young potential ruckmen available for this years draft, we should look to use our second draft pick for one, and take another as a rookie. We should retain Matt Clarke as a part time ruck coach.

I agree with Curly.

Re Raph, I agree with "How he got a game this season straight out of the scorps twos was a JOKE...." but it was'nt his fault. It was the selectors.
The same applys to much of the problems high-lighted in this thread.

I agree that we have a good list, but I am not happy with the team selections of recent times. Thommo is one of our more creeative ball winners. He often steals it off the opposition, more frequently than any other Saint. He has been playing in the Scorps for too long. What has Birss and C.Jones got...

Fonz, from what you know, do you believe he will be retained?

IU tend to agree with Solar. It is foolish to have a defensive game plan with our list.

The Footy Show was inconclusive. None the wiser as to whether Sam injured or not.
If he has a serious injury and nothing has come from the club it is pretty poor.

We cant go into the last 3 games with the same line-up. We must make changes. I tend to think our selectors/coaching staff are too conservative or gutless.
I would bring in Thommo for Jones, McQualter for Attard, Ferguson for L.Fisher, and Brooks/Watts for Gehrig.

Round 22, Melbourne v Carlton. Whoever wins loses their priority pick.
Will be a battle of the tankers.

Everett hardly thrashed Rix. Look at the results.
Everett 9 Disposals. 20 Hit outs. 1 tackles.
Rix. 4 disposals 18 hit outs. 7 tackles.

I think Rix held his own.

We have too many passengers in the side. We had 6 players who got less than 10 possessions. The Swans had 3. Attard is consistently one of our worst performers stats wise. Everybody has been canning Xavier Clark's efforts last night, but he still had more effective possessions than Attard and Jones ...

He only had 8 possessions. Not good enough for a small on-baller type. He may be fast but he does not always use his speed. Looked slow on one occasion. For those who want him to have another game, at whose expence, TRhommo, Armitage. How has he managed to play more games than Armitage? How many gam...

I dont know how much Ross Lyon contributed to our loss tonight, but if he is a selector he did. We had too many passengers again. We cannot afford the luxury of players like C.Jones, and I believe Attard needs a break as well. Gehrig, 2 goals in two weeks. Not good enough. It is not as though we hav...

17 the magic number. Level at three quarter time, lose by 17 points Sydney. 17 points up at 3 quarter time. Draw. Bulldogs. 27 points up at 3 quarter time, win by 10 points Carlton. Up by 34-35 points at 3 quarter time, win by 17 points. Hawthorn. Thats 4 weeks in a row. What would be the odds of th...

He should not get a game in front of Thomo, Ferguson, or Armitage. What is wrong with our selectors??

I thought he was holding the front of his foreleg. I hope nothing is broken.

As Gerard Healy said during his commentary, "Xavier needs a good pre-season. He virtually had none this year." Get off his back you duds... There were worse players than him out there tonight. At least he has the ability to get the hard ball at times. I suppose you all think Clint Jones st...
