No change - swap Cripps and Ledger for the sub role. Why change a winning side.

I think we've got a cleanout coming at the end o fthe season. If that's the case then we're going to be a few years off really challenging again and by that time BJ will be near on 30. Not sure he'll be preparaed to hang around and play in a side that may not make finals. As much as I'd hate to lose...

I am positive it's shaping as a long year. Yes it's Rnd 1 but again we were murdered by our inability to find targets under pressure.

Milera = v.good.
Stanley = good

The rest you can have. The time for change is upon us!

Surely there are btter options getting ariund than Peake & Geary. Geary tries hard but lacks composure and turns it over constantly, he's been on the list 5 years and hasn't shown me anything that suggests he has "turned the corner" Personally I'd have Cripps in there before either of ...

I must say that I'm a little surprised at the sameness of our squad? With the exception of Stanley, Ledger and Millera there is nothing to get excited about. What happened to Cripps off half back and Winmar on a wing, instead we go for Geary, Peake, Ray!! Personally I wanted to see as many new faces...

4 points in half of footy - please!! all I hear is collingwood players

We're gonna get belted, let's see what spin we can put on this debacle

Have to agree saintspermiers on this one. Lyon is gone and it's about time we all started looking forward rather than back. We've heard it a thousand times before but with any new era comes new opportunity. Bring on 2012!!

Listening to Bruce McAveny reliving the 90's when he shouts the name "Winmar" as he does something special.....

The topic of the new academy director seems to have gone very quiet recently. Is it just fanciful to think that we could do without the role for this year with a view of getting Malthouse next year???

I seem to recall more than a few people on here lamenting the fact we didn't have enough forwards (me for one) Now we draft medium lead up forwards with good size and pace and all of a sudden Ruckmen should have been our priority. Last year Big Mac rucked alone as Gardy was injured. Kosi pinch hit a...

8-10 for mine. Even if Lenny get's back he'll have minimal impact this year. Lyin Bastard stagnated the development of our younger players No FB. New coach and gameplan and a comparitive lack of skill accross the board means we slide a bit further. Our record against Top 8 sides last year was ordina...

If we are going to challenge again next year then I would have thought that improvement doesn't come from our established players. We need the kids to step up quickly and have some impact. As for Gram, my guess is that he won't be at the Saints come 2013. Winmar get's first crack at the hlaf back ro...

What about Travis Tuck - seemed like he got his s*** together later in the year. Given his pedigree and age I think he might be worth a punt?

Sorry my bad, got my Jackson's mixed up.

Jackson Paine ahead of Elton at 25.....

If Grigg is as slow as a Glacier then he's no use to us......think David Armitage! I think Jackson Ferguson (if available) ahead of Elton at 25, then go for the best available talent that addresses our obvious deficiencies......Speed & Effective Disposal. A gigantor ruckman late in the draft wou...

Am I the only one who thinks we needs more pace and high skill level off HB as well as a lead up forward to takle the heat off Rooey? Gram is cooked, Raph is Raph so never likely to break the game open unfortunately.

A Stephen Hill type around pick 32 would be nice, anyone fit that mould.....

Sorry am I missing something here, siants have appoineted all their line coaches for 2012 the only outstaninding position is Head of the acedemy. Unlikely that Max will return I think..
