Didn't get enough credit here I thought. Slow start but he really started to grind out consistent performances and felt like part of the furniture by year's end.

I think he can improve next year as well.


This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

His brother has re-signed with the Crows. Tested the market but no takers. Signed for less money as well.

Yep he was under appreciated at times, but he had a really consistent year. He has been another good pick up by the club.

I didn't realise Brad is from Ballarat, the Saints still like their Ballarat players. Another Gary Lofts. :lol:


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

Brad is solid, great grab. He's no game changer but he can certainly add value that equals wins.

Irony is applauding a recent arrival as 'battle hardened' while letting go of a valued 56 gamer who's been a Saint since 2016 draft...named 'Battle'

Crouch seems to get the ball under pressure and if no handpass option is quickly evident, he boots wildly a la Tim Watson's cousin.

Maybe we need new tactics where our guys learn to be ready outside to receive, in a predetermined spot.
Rehearse this at training so he knows where 1st option is.

Just an uninformed opinion from the cheap seats

Can Rowan Marshall play CHB and King CHF, a young Anthony Lockett would be saintsational.

He hasn't gone yet. And probably won't. There is a lot of posturing at this time of year. Billings was going and now the strong mail is he is staying.

I don't believe Billings was ever going. Just wistful thinking by some, particularly on this forum.
