With only 8 more games to qualify for father-son, is it not too late for Robbo to come out of retirement, and be selected as the concussion sub for 8 games?

Make it happen Saints!

We don't have quarterbacks in AFL!!!

I'd be careful going down that road, every club has these issues pop up from time to time, and we have a few players with shady incidents that are in the public domain...

A much better strategy would be to run them off their feet, kick more goals than them, and just run with the 'too old, too slow'

Agreed, hope we are! China is off, NZ didn't work, and Cairns can get stuffed... let's go to Tassie

Dreamtime in Tassie..?

That sucks... so does Highmore debut in round 1? Or Jimmy Webster gets a recall?

Is that the truth, or did you read it in the Herald Sun?

Aren't we all..?

What an irony that we lose our incumbent captain on the same day Hawthorn appoints one of our exes as their captain in Ben McEvoy. Big boy was often touted as a future captain of our club. Excellent choice by the hawks. The trade that saw him go to Hawthorn, not so much. Another stroke of genius th...

I was right about #27

Highmore's nickname should be coke/cocaine, because it gets you "high more" (in 2020 it also gets you traded from SA to St Kilda )

And Allison's should be Dunno, because I dunno if McLeod is part of his name or not..? Some articles include, some don't...

I would have thought McKernan was a certainty for #27, given the long line of useful though not superbly talented ruck/forward occupants, also if he grows a dodgy mo and beard my Josh Bruce caricature socks could pass as McKernan socks... Crouch will get #5 and Frawley #24, Higgins would have been h...

OK so list is basically done, assuming no injuries what does the line up look like: B: Paton, Howard, Wilkie HB: Long, Carlisle , Coffield C: Hill , Steele, Jones HF: Billings, Membrey , Butler F: Gresham, King, Marshall Foll: Ryder, Crouch, Clark Int: Higgins, Battle, Hannebery, Sinclair Emerg: Lo...

B: Coffield Howard Wilkie
HB: Paton Carlisle Long
C: Battle Jones Hill
HF: Gresham Membrey Billings
F: Higgins King Butler
R: Marshall Steele Clark Crouch
I: Ryder Sinclair Hannebery Bytel/Ross

Really hope the former players group at St Kilda makes contact with Jack, seems like he might be going through some hard times and could use some support...

Aah, the old whispering masseur at it again

New Balance's rating from the Good On You app is 'not good enough' - https://directory.goodonyou.eco/brand/new-balance and from other ethical rating websites it appears there is much room for improvement in their practice and production.

Midfield should be the focus, but if we lose Carlisle (hope not) we'll need another big defender, the WCE game was evidence of that.

It doesn't help when the throw ins are so shallow, though I don't think it's a tactic any longer. As for the rule generally, it has become much stricter this year, pretty much any kick to space which results in the ball being out of bounds is ruled deliberate. Players don't even protest anymore, but...

Ratts doesn't make sweeping changes to the team, so it'll be minimum. Battle (if he's right) and Roberton to come in (more experienced and proven than other Austin/Claravino). If the Long suspension is upheld, which would be a disgrace, it'll be Philips or Hind for speed, Savage unlucky. Marshall wi...

Yep, it's new roaring 20s for the Saints, our decade!

I like it, perhaps a swap including Webster, as he seems on the nose with selectors and is a similar type... Saad would also allow Clark to move into the middle, Long could also play some minutes there, rough them up
