No Supergoal with the 50m? I need to know why that wasn't a Supergoal - I believe that should have been a 9 pointer and so the match was drawn. I believe the player is given the option to take the full 50m and kick a 6 pointer, or take the free kick at the 50m arc for a super goal. We elected to ta...

I went to school with one Eddie McGuire

Good article about Tom Lee being thankful for the opportunity he was given by the Saints and basically not being able to repay that faith shown in him mainly due to injuries. There were no sour grapes and he's still cheering for us. All the best for the future Tom.... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016...

Sorry guys, I'm going to hit you with some meaningless trivia. Josh started at Haileybury in Year 10 and played his first game with the Year 11s - the B team playing alongside my son. This new guy looked pretty good but I remember he snagged 5 goals in the last quarter just kicking them from everywh...

Eli Templeton for Port Melbourne? The ex-Saint would be a fine addition to the Borough ranks. Had a v good 2016 at Sandringham.

Yep, definitely joined Port.

Yeah i agree josh battle is all class! A bigger membrey basically. God forbid mccartin keeps getting concussed we need another classy straight kicking forward which battle is. Him and witherden have great skills. SPP BOTLTON BATTLE or WITHERDEN for me Would be really excited if we managed to land J...

He's a bit of a d**khead, but he will probably out into his place by the senior players no matter where he goes I've been following him pretty closely this year through a connection with Haileybury. Terrific talent but a FIGJAM of the highest order and not that well liked. We won't get him at 23 bu...

Brad McKenzie, who has been delisted by North, looks like an interesting proposition. First round draft pick in 2011 with elite disposal and oozes class from the footage I've seen of him. At just 23 years of age and a running half back, I would have thought he's definitely worth a look; not sure wha...

Its interesting to see the Venables chat has dropped off. I remember with Peter Ryan had a twitter session he had us interested. The other chatter i was hearing is that Brisbane will bid on Bowes at 2. I would be happy at 10 with us having a shot at Scrimshaw, Venables or Tarranto (the flavour of t...

Jaxons, who do you like in the draft at pick 10? Ben Ainsworth is the kid I desperately want. He's a tough nut that has brilliant hands, great goal sense & the potential to run through the midfield. He's a Robbie Gray type. The only issue is he will be strongly considered earlier on in the draf...

how much have carlton benefitted from SOS? Obviously had a very positive influence on the GWS boys. Just goes to show how important one cog in the machine can be. He's managed to get a lot of GWS boys through the door but none of them are any bloody good:- Jaksch, Whiley, Lamb, Plowman, Phillips an...

Big Boy done nothing to deserve this. We traded him out. He'[s been a great servant for the hawks. he's won 2 flags. Not sure the point of the thread, he never wanted to leave the Saints. Plenty of other more worthy recipients of bagging tonight of the Hawks................. +1 This has to be up th...

Does anyone else also want sauce Merrett? Had a blinder up forward for Brisbane and we could pick him up as a delisted free agent, chuck him a contract to play for a year or two then he can join coaching department ..If he costs too much then just offload fisher and Dempster to bring in the extra m...

+1 Still only 32 and very durable

Very easy to celebrate missing out, but I'm disappointed. Hurley would have been a great get. Quality players dont grow on trees, and despite us now being "a destination club", there aren't many banging down the door. Saints withdrew offer, not sure why, but we withdrew, as did Demons app...

have we ever recruited a superstar in his prime? we've lost a few, but cant think of any coming in. Billy Barrot Worst trade ever, I challenge anyone to come up with something worse......gave Ian Stewart away to get Billy Barrot.....Stewart went on to win a 3rd Brownlow at Richmond, Barrot played 2...

He's already there....I'd say he is already in the top 5

I really don't want Hurley! For some reason I have a lingering thought in my mind there may had been something written a few years ago about issues between Hurley & Carlilse. Nothing serious, I think it was when Carlisle was being played forward and he wasn't too happy about it, & was causi...

I really don't want Hurley!

I'd personally love to have him on board as an assistant but sounds like he wants to be top dog

It was a surprise to many that he didn't get picked up until pick 39. I personally feel it's because he is a FIGJAM, and most clubs would have picked up on that, and he also performed badly in the pre draft testing, beep test was very ordinary from memory; so glad we didn't pick him up - that goal c...
