With Lonie delisted that's 5 players recruited in 2014 now gone.

Paddy McCartin
Hugh Goddard
Brenton Payne
Jack Lonie
Ahmed Saad


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Not a good draft overall - probably only a half dozen that people outside of their own teams would know by name.

Well he was AFL material- he played 87 games and was on an AFL list for 7 years. He actually has a BOG at AFL level… so at a point in time he was obviously up to it.

Yes. But not consistently. Therein lies the problem and the reason he was delisted.

Cheers Jack & thanks, you played 87 more games for the Saints than I did. Look forward to catching up with you at Seaford in the future. Good luck at Frankston.

Most AFL players are delisted at some point.

Some mid career, for many that’s where their journey ends

A far less number get to go out on their terms

Agreed. We want those from the far less number. Great point.

If the list management is fair dinkum, Kent has to go too. Nothing but a list clogger.

Sorry for Lonie.
He was consistently not quite up to it, but Jeez he tried, and he kicked some absolute genius goals that I won't ever forget.
Thanks for those memories, and for being a committed Saint, Jack Lonie

Different types of players but at this stage Kent is better. More powerful. I love Lones but he has two major weaknesses... He has no right foot and he lacks kicking penetration.

He will dominate at Frankston. Something I find interesting is that his dominant VFL midfield form is similar to that of Luke Dunstan. Make of that what you will.

I doubt he'll get another crack but 87 AFL games (with plenty of good ones) is nothing to sneeze at, especially for a bloke of his size.

I actually thought at one stage he might make it there during the first 6 or 7 games of the 2019 season. He was on fire until he got injured.

It’s the right decision.

Not exactly a tackling machine either and gets brushed aside too easily.

Had some good games but as a small forward you have to make every post a winner & he just could not convert his opportunity's . Could not stick a tackle ,no tank to play anywhere else ,not good overhead, but the nail in the coffin was just could not find the goals . I wish Jack all the best in whatever the future hold for him

If they keep Kent, they have rocks in their heads.
What's he ever done of note?
Even the Suns wouldn't look at him if he was available.

Yeah he looked like he was going to make it before he got tunneled and did his knee.

Great VFL player. No doubt about it. He would tear the odd game apart for Sandringham.

He was just too small for his first few years. Opposition just walked the ball through him.

Ultimately he is too one sided and not reliable enough in front of goal. Averaged less than one goal per game over his journey.

Small forward is really the toughest position. You have to be very good to make it, or the shelf life is not very long.

He's shown flashes, but M.I.A way too often. Makes dumb errors. Plays one decent game amongst four or five crap games. I'm harsh on him because he's become to me, emblematic of the mediocrity of the Richo years. Am sure he's a nice fella. Good luck to him. I reckon he'll get a one year contract and I hope he proves me wrong. He's got a good boot on him, he's barrel chested and can run.

5 small forwards

Higgins

Butler
Long

5 tackle averages

Can you match them without looking?
