Re: Training Reports

I'm excited about the influence Wilkie, Goddard and Enright might have on Keeler's skill set.

Check out his dad at CHEverywhere

Mckenzie is done poor bloke. He was finished with us the minute we swapped picks and drafted Garcia, who will be pushing for a game by 2025.

Re: The Windies are back..so good.

Even less important.

Cricket has been a farce for a very long time thanks to gambling and the South Africans, then we have the ball tampering.

I don't even watch it. I'll wait for the highlights. Surely there was no interest in Australia flogging the West Indies.

Re: Arie Schoenmaker’s club punishment

It's all well and good to speculate down that path, until you hear the words "professional standards". Either way, all players (and people, life in general) have adversity whether it's self inflicted or not. What matters is how you respond. Second chances are important, but you have to us...

Re: Training Reports

I think the see ball, get ball, kick ball days of Richo and Ratten are over. It's clear our game will be designed to go back and sideways to booming accurate kicks. Jones gives us mongrel that doesn't exist without him. He just needs the support fr9m the right players around him. We have some very c...

Re: Training Reports

Jones would be a fantastic decoy at stoppages for Steele and Wilson, who will be getting pressured near by. Marshall is also very good at killing throw ins and clearing paths in stoppage. If it comes together we will go from a defensive stance at stoppage to a very attacking and dangerous combo. The...

Re: Who will debut early?

Interested to see McLennan and where he fits in, what kind of players would he match up well on? If I recall he's only 188cm. From what I have seen, he is similarly versatile to Geary 184cm, and Paton 186cm. McLennan could match up on Membrey 188, Breust 189, Phillipou 191 or Rachele 179. He attack...

Re: Who will debut early?

At 65kg, it would be throwing Collard to the wolves. I doubt he'll play unless he gets over 70 kg. Wilson is the best chance because of his elite endurance, which is a perfect fit for Ross Lyon's demanding running game. The only other one I'd give an outside chance to is Hotton, but I'd say he's a ...

Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?

Matt Hannerbery and Lethlean's careers at Old Xaverians didn't cross.

Grant Thomas coached Matt though and interstingly Matt took over from Thommo.

Who then went to chairman of selectors at North before coming home to the Saints.

Another Caro myth.

Re: Arie Schoenmaker’s club punishment

He was not known for his leg speed in U18 football. Perhaps timing and peripheral awareness would be a better use of words. Clearly, he is able to get around the play and take hand off and uncontested possession, and kicks the ball very well in full flight being chased down. At 194cm and 90kg, he m...

I think he has been given an opportunity to do extra's and get a shot. Punishment is not on Lyons list of strategies. He will just wipe you. Zac Dawson was given similar opportunities and did the work, focussed on his defence and was given a shot in his second season with the club. This kid was top ...

You don't have to get faster, you just have to get fitter. We don't do that here is a statement about expectations on effort and composure. We have lacked both for a while.

Re: Calling Saints Mega Fans - Trivia Competition at hand

Thank you so much for sharing CQ. I enjoyed the history with a bit of sadness that it went down the way it did I think his kids were quite happy with the outcome and he moved down to Flinders and lived his life out there mate. Progress waits for no one. My cousins are still living in the area today.
