I wish I had your optimism but he is almost gone already according to my source.

Last year we had cordy up forward with Higgins and butler who were kicking goals and had score involvements butler has barely played this year either has Higgins so that was a big factor in our goal kicking.

WE do need to take someone I here we are keen on a HBF at sandy as if we need another one of those.
What we do need is a tough mid or a Ruck who can play a bit.
There were a few on show in the recent state game SA v WA

Heath was not bad for being solid he got the player of the round that is 2 weeks in a row when he has played really well, it might be that he is starting to get what its like to be a AFL footballer.
Lets see if he can back it up again against Casey.

This year, Howard has not been beaten in a 1v1 defensive contest. Cordy has a 20% loss rate, which is good but not 'premiership full back' good. Interestingly Howard has not had a handball this year. Turnovers in favour of Cordy, disposal efficiency in favour of Howard. https://i.imgur.com/mkFhIBD....

I really like cordy he is smart and reads the play well but unlike Dougal, Battle, Bonnar he does NOT turn the ball over constantly he is very safe with the ball and makes good decisions. I don't really care about his stats as a Backman he has a job and he does it very well he covers well for the ot...

Would you be happy with a 2nd round pick for Battle? The odds of a 2nd rounder being at his level is 3-1 imo Prefer to keep him - draft picks mean FA Look at Geelong and Norrh I am not sure Battle wants to stay as he has had a offer on the table for some time now and hasn't resigned. Also a few tea...

When are the suns going to made to treat there academy players like all the other clubs being able to pick them until pick 40 before they can match a pick. Its a really unfair advantage they have at the moment and even the other interstate clubs are not happy about it. I thought the AFL was looking ...

Yes

If Crouch is on long term injury list do we go for another pick in mid season draft or stay with 1 option I would go with 2 picks a big Ruck forward and mid

Van Es moved to LTI - out for season https://twitter.com/stkildafc/status/1790272285301199099 Think that opens up a spot for the midseason draft if we want to use it Allison, Crouch, Hotton fitness tests to play this week Butler + Arie 1 week away (Arie concussed it seems which explains why no VFL)...

Campbell and Allison not in the team line up.
So only 14 Sainters, 9 Zebras

Also no Schoenmaker dont know why

How many times did Marshall grab the ball at the Centre bounce and attempt to kick it? How often were these kicks effective or led to a goal. Not many,if any, if I recall. Is this the nub of the mids problem? We all know Marshall is not a good tap ruckman but is good around the ground. Also when Ha...

He's not the wrestling contested mark forward he thinks he is. Needs to play much further up the ground. Kind should play at CHF he has the athleticism to be a champion CHF. He would generally only find 1 opponents there and with his skill in the air and below his knees would be a hard match up. He...

I would pay Pou on Half back line it would allow him to get his hands on the ball build confidence and he would have a lot of experience around him. Its about decision making as he has a big kick he could really turn into a weapon there. Once he gets confidence back move him to where ever coaches wo...

He should go back into the VFL he has not had a game all season
and if wood, Dow, Clarke, King, Paton do we play jimmy as well and don't forget jones 29 disposals in VFL who comes out?

Pou pick 10 in 2022 draft. IMHO Wilson has gone way past Pou despite Wilson pick 18 in 2023 draft and a handful of games. Garcia pick 50 in 2023 and a couple of games is as valuable as Pou and has overtaken Hastie pick 33 in 2023. But Pou will should continue to get games until the teams injury lis...

Xerri is a good player but any doubt i think Marshall gets a week rest and bring in Campbell. Assuming King comes in for Sharman, then perhaps make a call between Cama and Hayes playing as a forward and back up ruck Why would you drop Camaniti he has been good up forward there is no good reason not...

I would play King at CHF where he has room to manoeuvrer he is quick enough and would not always have 2 big monsters on him have Either Marshall or Hayes at FF with caminiti HFF with Membery and Owens with a small around them. I hear you saying its to slow to big but isn't that what we need we often...

I agree we need a Saints VFL side play out of Moorabbin under our system. All our players would play and train at RESA park all the time not train there a few times then off to Sandy to train as well it can not be good for continuity of footy. Plus the sandy ground is terrible to play on and very sm...

What's our draft hand like in this years draft? I recall we did a bunch of pick trades and I think have Adelaide's second rounder. We gave up a second rounder for Henry but got one back from GWS for letting them move up the draft order. Now that Battle has some interest from other clubs and is a RF...

Do we start playing for a better draft position for 2025 now .. start playing all our youngsters getting game time into them accepting this season is gone …..which it is i believe. Get whoever needs operations done now do they are right for pre season. Guys like Heath , Keeler need game time to see...

Why would you put Dow in and then play him as sub might as well play him at Sandy we need him on the ball from the start

I remember when supporters said we should trade another player who was really struggling every week drop him trade him it really annoyed me at the time, but Ross persisted with him and he ended up being ok the player was pick #1 Brendan Goddard so it does take time. Give the kid a chance I know he w...
