Re: Gilligan wants to do experiments on us

Whether we’re involved or not, this is a horrid idea. Every game means something. There are no such things as dead rubbers. We’ve got the best part of 20 blokes uncontracted for next season, do you think they’re happy to play made up rules?? If the 30% win rate clause in Richo’s contract is true, sh...

Re: The Trades Book

Shiel and Kelly always rate a mention in here....both 250-1.... Need to add a market for Saints players on the way out too. The ever-present “trade Armo/Gilbert back to Qld” should rate highly, with Mav, Paddy and the Hickey/ Longer duo in there as well. Bit of value around “trade Dunstan back to SA...

Re: Koby Stevens retires

Really sad - I hope he can shake the lingering effects and can lead a relatively normal life.

Hopefully he can now be an example to other players, to make sure they disclose any issues to the docs.

Re: Stay or Go.

They will all stay, are we really going to delist/ trade a contracted David Armitage for so we can use Pick 110 in the draft?? If we had 7 picks inside the top 30, or manage to get Lynch, McGovern, Gaff to all sign on, then sure, clean them out. But we’re not improving by picking speculative guys fr...

Re: King on Carlisle

As bad as this year has been, could you imagine how we’d be going if we had Francis instead of Gresh and Carlisle??

King is a drop kick and a fool.

Re: We are getting pick 4 or 5

Rankine is a must take. A freak and exactly what we need. Will be there for us too. Think Nicky Winmar at his most exciting combined with Chris Judd explosive speed and a Robert Harvey sidestep. The most exciting player to be in a draft since Buddy Franklin. 100% agree but jaxons we will pick max k...

Re: Changes against Port Adelaide

Hoping Acres is ready, he can take Weller's place.

Webster comes back in at Joyce's expense if he's fit.

I think Austin is probably ahead of Goddard for Brown's spot, but Bruce is the wildcard here.

Bruce and Gilbert both available, not sure they'll get picked though.

Re: Sack the Coach (revisited)

Pretty sure I saw in last weeks’ media that all the assistants except Playfair are out of contract. That will decide who stays and who goes as much as anything.

Re: DMac

Honestly thought he was a lost cause. Another guy with the best intentions but his limitations (lack of composure, fumbles etc.) would ultimately cost him a decent career, and another lost pick at the Saints. But that's not right - he showed plenty on the weekend, and most importantly, showed some t...

Re: Team v Gold Coast

Don’t hate the changes. Shows we’re not overreacting and doing desperate things. If Richo’s mantra is Arno had to play after 40-odd against a tag. Hickey has to get rid of the brain fade moments - the uncontested mark on the goal line a few weeks back, and going to the bench last week, it shows a la...

Re: We need some one at the club that bleeds red black and white

You know what not a single one of those guys managed to do in their career??? Win a flag, I’m more interested in people who know how to do that.

We’ve got Spud now, I’m not sure if there’s anyone who bleeds red, white and black more than him and his role isn’t saving us at the moment.

Re: 17th in the comp for pressure

The beginning and end of our problems this year is our fitness level - we’re just not up to the required standard. It underpins everything you do on field - from contested possessions to kicking accuracy, if you are constantly fatigued you can’t compete. Pressure is another stat the proves we just d...

Re: Brandon White - the one player who can actually hit a target

White hasn't been anywhere near as good this year. Hasn't looked like the sure bet he has looked previously. Thought he was really good against GWS, and last week was pretty good, but I don't think he's locked in a spot just yet. He looked sore a couple of times last week though, he might still be s...

Re: Trout and Friends draft picks since 2013

The way some people talk about Trout, it's as if EVERY OTHER CLUB grabs a superstar with EVERY PICK.

You could look through every single draft and find mistakes, drafting is such an imperfect science that every club gets it wrong from time to time.

Re: We're on Track

I completely agree with the OP. Our list profile is much closer to Brisbane's and Carlton's, which is what our results are proving.

The thing that I'm not sure about is whether Richo can survive another couple of years of "development". Or is Richo gonna be our Mark Neeld??
