Good pick ups.

But a derivative connection to Lethers.

The whole AFL has shifted towards more mature age recruits which is a good thing.

Damien Barrett has a long record, along with several other media reporters, of sticking the knife into the Saints over many years. So I think his opinion on the Hanneberry trade lacks credibility and objectivity and should be ignored. But it is already objectively correct because Hannebery is missi...

Re: Ahhh WTF Hanners?

Season 2019 (and 800k) is a write off due to injury for Hannebery. Just like 2017 and 2018. How anyone thinks a 29 year old is going to suddenly return to 800k/AA form after 3 years ruined by injury is beyond me. Everything about the Hannebery deal from day one has stunk to high hell.

Hate to bring it up but jesus christ that Aaron Naughton is a good young player.

And I when I say 'good' I mean seriously very good.

King selected himself at pick 4. Not sure it required much thought. All anyone had to do was click on a phantom draft the day before the draft. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-20/callum-twomeys-2018-phantom-draft Didnt require a mastermind.

From everything I've read, his leadership has been outstanding. He's on a 5 year deal, and will miss games in a season where we are a bottom 6 side regardless. So what??? As for being back in R6, put it this way...you can't 'rebuild' someone in a month. So if he is back in R6 then I think it's safe...

Re: Ahhh WTF Hanners?

I wonder what a 'medical' really consists of?

Lethlean: "Ok Docs - just test to see if he can walk and that he isnt close to death."

Doctor 1 - Pass
Doctor 2 - Pass
Doctor 3 - Pass
Doctor 4 - Pass

Re: 3rd Tall

We need Marshall in the side. That seems to me like a no brainer.

The question is whether Lewis gets a game or not?



P.S
Looking fwd to 2021 when we have King and Marshall playing in tandem and Bruce at CHF.

Re: What do we want for $800,000 pa?

Who gives a sh*t? We gave up almost nothing in picks/players. We lose our 2019 2nd round pick which could be as high as pick 19. Probably pick 21-24. Not to mention reputational damage and a perception we are a retirement village or a 'jobs for mates' amateur club and that we were 'desperate' and '...

Re: To be sacked immediately.......

It's actually 5 years.

Anyone saying the 5th year is performance based is guessing and trying to be an apologist for Lethers.

It's 5 years and goes to the end of 2023. Fact.

We got Battle for pick 39 in 2016. A bargain.
In some ways that cancels out the Paddy pick from 2014. A bust.

Dont need Rowe. Darragh Joyce is a gun! Rowe was signed up as back up only. May never get a game but will certainly strengthen Sandringham. You realise he was just about to line up for East Doncaster? Yep, of course. And they are now after 200,000 dollars compo. Seems a little steep. Give em $2k an...

I think Rowe is just insurance.
Brown, Joyce, Battle and Wilkie all currently ahead of him.
Then we get Carlisle back.

You are easily pleased.

Recruiting him is ok in itself. It is the 5 x $800k that most find a serious problem.
