If our future relies on one kid picked at #16 in a weak draft then god help us

Essendon are laughing their arses off over this. Offloaded this idiot to us for #16, and the clown is so uinhinged that he wont even play a game with us. :roll: Ross Lyon has completely stuffed up. Completely. Everyone has a different opinion and everyone uses words that others interpret differentl...

I am not going to reveal my source and you can take this or leave it. He is gone. According to the upper echelons of the club it was an extremely 'unsettling' set of circumstances and he will not be playing for the saints. I have no doubt that you're right, I tipped within two weeks of the club res...

Is it that hard to believe what I said 2 months ago (which I was howled down for) that Lovett was a F***ing moron.....or is it because we recruited him that people DON'T want to believe it....FFS He is trouble.....will be trouble.....he always has been trouble..yes he can play a bit (his career is ...

Question - was it a good Idea to trade our first round DP for a 27yo bloke with real issues and baggage??? what it did is contadict why we chose not to go down the cousins path....(who BTW has never had a ? over his commitment to the game and was a superstar)....the reason was that we had to keep b...

Fair dinkum the way some people go on it's as if the Saints are the only club that doesn't recruit a star player with every pick in every draft. It's always a lottery. There are plenty of early picks at all clubs that don't make it just as there are plenty of late picks at clubs that turn out ok. Th...

a million???? blimey im missing some serious goss here :? RB loaned GT $1 million (when they will still mates) so that GT could aquire his mansion... But later GT was not that willing to pay it back (after they were no longer mates)....hence the legal action by RB on this. Nice lies. True to form w...

I’ll start of by saying that a person is innocent until proven guilty and all of this is based on a scenario where Lovett is eventually charged/convicted. In that situation what happens with the Playing List & Salary Cap? I’m not sure if changes can be made to the list following final list d...

What ppl forget is that even if we had of traded for Cousins, we were giving up very little. You take your risks at the bottom end of the draft, not the top end. Not as if Lovett has anything like the pedigree of Cousins either. If Lovett was taken at pick 50 or whatever, I too would probably have ...

allegations at this point, so IMHO it's best not to jump to soon I was and still am hopeful of seeing Lovett blitzing for us with his pace and skill, just what we need, I hope this is a beat up, because it's so disappointing otherwise! I also hope he is given another chance either way! Given Lovett...

I suppose you have wait til the full story comes out but sadly it looks like we can start “pencilling him outâ€

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from deep inside enemy territory

I'll just be happy to see the kid make it regardless of what number he's wearing - even if it's 77

I would certainly like to see our youngsters come along but I don't expect wholesale changes to a team that could have been premiers but for some poor kicking. That's not the way Ross does things. I would expect Lovett to come in because he's clearly a class senior player who was specifically recrui...

Just so u know Armo didnt want a number change!! 20 is a great number! There's been a few decent no.20s for the Saints already - Micky Dwyer and Matty Young spring to mind...I'm sure Armo can uphold the standard! 8-) I tend to rate numbers on how they look, rather than who have worn them. The numbe...

I note there's no reference to #8. On another forum it was suggested that this was going to be given to Raph (apparently his number before joining the saints) however the facebook news suggests he may be staying in #16. I am a huge Raph fan and would be happy to see him in #8 if that's what he reall...

Plus he'll hopefully handle the expectations well (from all of us, those in the media, etc.) as he's probably well used to them (being the "son of a great"). Or maybe we've just picked him up (Collingwood- the Clokes style) so that it makes it easier to get his younger brothers! Yes, woul...

With rookie picks 20 & 36 in a weak draft year you can’t expect too much. With that in mind I’m more than happy to have Hutchings & Archer on board (a mid & a KPP both with, apparently, good attitudes)

When we signed Tommy back in Oct the club likened him to a first round draft pick. There have been references to him being like Wayne Carey, Buddy Franklin, Aaron Hamill or Nic Naitanui. Matthew Drain has been very unrestrained in his praise and there were comments in the media such as “The Saints...

Brilliant news. Just shows that when you are performing well and successful, that will translate to more media coverage and that means companies will want to be associated with you. With success, more kids want to support the Saints and that is what the banks want. Good job, Saints board. :) And th...

Armo's Dad is tipping David to be playing on Luke Ball in the Round 3 game vs The Filth. I can just picture Lyon informing him he's playing on Ball, followed by a lingering look that says it all. What a year he has before him. It's not very ladylike, but I hope he opens up a can on him! 8-) Yup, I ...

Last week it was "a VERY exciting announcement" this time it is "good news". Mmmmmmmmmmmm

They all sound promising when those sorts of stats and comments are mentioned however we need to be careful we don't get too carried away. If they were that great they surely would have been picked up in what was universally agreed was a weak draft.
