Re: Players in question for 2025?

196cm+ KPD are rare as hens teeth and would be sought by quite a few clubs in the market.

Hawthorn and North definitely need one each.

Dougal is a better full back than McKay and look at how much he got.

Re: Careers at StK ruined

Does Dylan Roberton count?

Would have been great to have in our current side.

Re: Crab watch

We don't need a group of senior GOPs who are not winning their positions, as an example for the young players though I disagree, if their skillset is in mentoring and building talent. Cut these players at your peril, and end up in a long, long rebuild. North would be a much better side if they held...

Re: Dual narrative

We were lower, but 14th after this week (Adelaide, GC, Hawks, North lower). Still quite a bit below AFL average https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_stats_team.html?year=2024 Interesting stat there. Despite all of our injuries, we have only played 30 different players this year. That puts us 7th in th...

Re: Dual narrative

The disappointment in this year isn't the losses (although they hurt), it's that we are playing periods of really poor footy. I would expect any Lyon coached side to be 'on' every quarter. We need to be. Lack of consistency is common in young sides, but we are a rollercoaster. I can't fault effort o...

Schoenmaker to the outside

The obvious move right?
It'll destroy Wilkie (see his first 6 games). But we may get an even better one in Schoenmaker.

Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season

Mind you I might be of a different opinion 4 goals down to north in the last Our last few games against North have been a symptom of the overall issue. We can't/don't/won't turn it on and damage the scoreboard when we are on top. Plenty of games against poor opposition, we have let them in and almo...

Re: Players under question for 2025?

It depends what we can get in. There is still value in having guys like Seb even if he plays VFL.

4 ND picks, 1 SSP.

"only" need to delist 5.

Allison, Hotton, Campbell, Heath.

Plus one from your list. Probably Jones.

Xerri also usually towells up Marshall, so would be good to give Campbell a game.

Caminiti is working on areas of his game that will see him as that second forward/ruck role. He will be part of the team for a long time to come.

Re: Durrrrrr Howard

I reckon the wilkie-howard combination unlocks Wilkie's intercepting game.

Structurally important. Cordy is not yet in that space.

First game of the year, slotting into a position that was already covered by Cordy.

Plenty of other players to pot but everyone gravitates to Doug.

Re: Let’s talk about cheating

You don't have any credibility on the subject, but yes there was a clear bias tonight. On the balance of what was paid and missed, we definitely got shafted.

Is the a secret agenda against us? No.

Do we need to stand up in the presser and maybe get a fine? Yes.

Nope.
