Re: January focus

I think this is an important point going forward but I cant see either one being able to gut run up and back while "resting". Ideally we will not be playing the game in the back half as much. It will be interesting to see what the starting 18 looks like. Agree with this. Think both will n...

Re: Saints offer big money for untried ruckman

Seems crazy when you read the headline but once you account for 4 years and perhaps a little mayo (reckon most reported offers are inflated in the media, if I was a manager I would) it is between 350 and 425 a year. Given the increase in salary caps that is probably about right to pull a promising y...

Re: Changes v Demons

Out: Kent (managed) , McKenzie (concussion) , Patton (stiff and maybe not)
In: Steven, Geary, Hind


Melbourne can be exposed by pace and run, all three ins provide that.

Patton very stiff and safe if Steven isn't picked.

Out Sincs or Kent

Or

Our Sincs and kent

Re: Are the Saints finished this trade period?

What would be good would be if we can trade for a player that is proven, a grade quality afl standard player 23-26 in a position we are not overloaded with a grade players currently (that’s pretty much everywhere)...anything less is a letdown and makes the “we’ll be really aggressive during trade a...

Re: Are the Saints finished this trade period?

Still like the idea of grabbing Menzel and Libba. Both the right age, both only cost salary cap space, both walk into our best 22 when fit.

Player talk is pleasing

I'm glad we're into everyone. We should be. If a player can walk into your 22 and arguably top 10 and you don't have to give up anything other than cash great! Would rather Menzel for 10 games a year than some on our list fit and available all year. Love to see us massively reshape our list by bring...

Re: Need to rebuild again

Am I right in saying the following are free agents at the moment? Murphy (30) Gaff (25) Sloane (28) All 3 have 3 years plus left in them. It might take one mighty sell but if we could land two of the three it would be game changing for us. Long shot but this would actually be my priority- would love...

Re: Trading Our Top 10 Picks For A Higher Pick

This idea won't please those who want big results next year but given the strength of the draft next year should we look at trading one of our first round picks to essendon in exchange for their first round next year and a second round pick... potentially in a 3 way trade.. Allows them to get their ...

Re: Did Shane Savage do enough to keep Webster out?

Richo said post-match that Weller will probably need to come through the VFL on the back of tonight's result. If those in Webster's spot are performing I feel the same should be said for Webster- even though I think Webster is a better option. Think your assessment of Sav is harsh if he plays the ex...

Strange argument.

What if we said, we wanted Harvey to play on another year or two. Lo and behold if he had of we would have won 3 flags.

What do you think Dean Towers would cost?

If we could net him for a third round pick I'd take that in a heart beat. Tall athletic wingman who can hit the scoreboard....
