Re: How's Newnesy Going?

Think the question is do we think he'll ever be an A grader? I don't know the answer - it's 50/50 IMO Been a solid contributor this year without starring. That's why I think he could be traded. We could cover losing him but he has value in the trade market as part of getting a genuine star in the do...

Re: Radical Trade Option

If we are going to trade "quality" it won't be Jack Steven.
My guess would be Jack Newnes, which would hurt but if it was part of a Bennell trade I think we'd settle for it.

Re: Been talking to a Dad whose lad Saints have talked to???

Milera? Lil' Wayne is from SA though. On a side note there are two or three South Aussies I reckon could be nice late picks. I really Like Will Snelling, Stephen Tahana- Knightmare says he might not even get drafted but has great touch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgtU_RJT7Ak a bit like Shane s...

Re: 2016 Will Be Worse Than 2015

Given the recent poor return for the number of inside 50's and a couple other random events, I am starting to suspect we could have a new forwards coach by year end. Probably wrong but have a sneaking suspicion.

Excellent news - this guy will only get better. Plenty of upside.

I see where Carlton stalwart , Alex Marcou reckons that disastrous recruiting has been at the core of Carlton's problems, and that there recruiting hasbeen shocking for the best part of ten years. He reckons that they have never had the right guy in charge . He then goes on to name a decade of top ...

Re: Longer or Hickey this week or is it both

Got a sneeky suspicion Hickey may keep his spot just based off Richo end-of-game presser comments (pretty vague). Can't understand all the trade talk on SS around Hickey. When you think about possible rule changes to lower the interchange rotations, that will call for ruck types that can rest forwar...

Re: Siposs, White and Markworth

Markworth is the only one of the three that's a chance to get a game this year. And that's mainly because he hasn't had that chance over the past two seasons, rather than his form this year for Sandy. The clock was ticking on Spencer ever since he received only a one year contract last year - i.e. ...

Re: Jake Carlisle

Where did the notion of us trading our pick 6 for Carlisle ever come from?
When you listen to everything coming out of the club we are desparate to get another high quality mid and I agree.
The chance of us trading our first pick are 1 out of 10 tops.
Best guess - pick #6 Rhys Mathieson
