Top 3 in B&F were rookies.
Meanwhile our top draft picks for a number of years have been spuds.
Billings, Gresham, McCartin. Coffield & Clarke
Amazing thing is that none of them even looked likely to be A graders.
More recent with King, NWM and Phillipou much more positive.

Re: Gresham
There is no way we would be handing over the 1st round compo pick for Shiel. By taking his salary I would think a 2nd round pick at best. Deal makes sense; Saints Get - 1st round pick, Shiel Lose - Gresham, 2nd round pick and Shiels salary. Essendon Get - Gresham. 2nd round pick, salary dump Lose - ...

Re: Keep Coffield
Hard to see what recruiters saw in him to be a top 10 pick. We had a real preference for drafting flankers for a number of years and he was another.
Has been paid a ridiculous wage because he was a top 10 pick.

Re: List Changes official
Bytel is another Luke Dunstan. Great local footballer but nowhere near AFL standard.
Peris extremely lucky to get one AFL game. Not in top 20 players in his Dragons team when put on list.

Re: List Changes official
Hopefully Bytel is the last time we recruit a player with injury issues believing we have a great medical team to get them right. Don’t think it has worked once for us.

Re: Hayes v sharman
Hayes must play.
King a straight swap for Sharman.
Byrnes stays sub as gives them a lot of run when he comes on.
Clark spot doubtful and depends if prepared to risk Ross.

Re: Credit
Cordy > Howard.
No doubt Howard will be shopped around.
Gresham timely game to increase his value. Still think he goes.
Ross makes a big difference. Would have been very handy last week against Carlton.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 21 2023
Had a crack but not good enough.
Crouch needs more support.
Forward line needs some polish.
1 goal in a half.
Caminiti not ready and Sharman not good enough

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 17 2023
Every week opposition intercepting defender gets BOG.
Not just forwards at fault. Would help if midfielders lowered the eyes like Crouch did then.

Re: Bytel Injury
Can clear a bit of salary cap space by moving on Billings, Jones and Gresham and really don’t lose anything on field.
Bytel is not costing lot - it’s just whether he is good enough.

Re: Dr. Dougal Howard MD 👨⚕️
I get very nervous anytime he goes near the ball.
Panics and makes bad decisions both with and without the ball.
If I was opposition I would be wanting the ball in his hands as often as possible.
