1 minute into the second quarter, Siposs two centre clearances, Sandy two scoring shots for 1.1.

Sandy down 0.2 to 3.2. Jones just the 14 touches in the first quarter.

(I'm watching the stream inside in the warmth not at the ground.)

Sandy didn't kick the first goal. What a surprise.

Completely different positions, surely?

Nothing to gain and everything to lose in the last few round. An injury to spoil his pre season would be pretty bad.

Jake Carlisle 23yo 198cm (Essendon) Pick No24 in national draft 2009. Gold Coast got 5 home state priority picks The eligibilty age was raised by 4 months. In an uncompromised draft he would probably have gone around pick 36. We would probably need to give up our 3rd round pick (mid 40s) and sweete...

If he doesn't want to be an AFL player then we should delist him now. St Kilda pay his wages, he needs to do what's best for the club.

I still agree with him. Melbourne's kids are miles ahead of ours and we haven't even seen Petracca yet. They're going slightly worse because their group of seniors doesn't compare to ours, but seniors aren't going to win either of us the next flag.

Probably a big name like Keegan Brooksby or Louis Herbert.

Dominating? He's kicked 25 in 13 games, about 2 goals a game. Averaging less than 12 touches. I wouldn't call that dominating.

terry smith rules wrote:I don't think he will have qualified for Sandy and their finals

Is that confirmed

Correct. He's only played one Sandy game so far this year, so at this point he can't qualify.

What about the psyche, absolutely stuffed his part. That's the whole idea of the psyche test. To weed out the loonies. Impossible to do. Anyone who's done a significant amount of recruiting knows that you make mistakes sometimes. Some people come across well in interviews but fall down when they ac...

Who cares? It's a single thread on a page with 50+ threads. You don't care about it, don't read it.

Quite simply ~ no we dont And we have needed a monster fullback for about four years now And unless richo instructs Longer to go out a rough tippet up a bit then he is the toughest matchup ~ and yes i know we dont have him I dont want to destroy him at this stage of career, but Goddard might match ...

Billings, Goddard, Mckenzie, Acres and Sinclair are all realistic chances for next year. Maybe. Falling out of eligibility for next year's team are: Siposs, Newnes, Ross, Longer, Webster Our top-agers next year would be: Minchington, Murdoch, Wright, Membrey, Saunders, Wright Hard to see any of tho...

Agree on Mackie. One of the luckiest blokes in the AFL. Fundamentally a reasonable footballer but nowhere near so good that he deserves to be an AA and triple premiership player. Right place, right time for that guy.

You dont throw away 194cm blokes who can run and compete that hard!!! Agreed! But a pick under 30 would be win-win. Port's second pick should be about 28, I think that would be a fair price and he'd be really good in their game style. Pick 28 in this years draft will be an absolute lottery, the dra...

Really good innings for the Saints and seems like a good guy, all luck for him with whatever comes next.

It would be a bad decision to delist Saunders when he is just starting to learn his midfield craft. He was recruited as a mid and has started to show form at VFL level as a mid, he just needs midfield time in the AFL to show his wares. People are screaming for midfield speed and break away run yet ...

Realistically there'll be a couple of academy players ahead of us as well, which makes it probably 7.

Very impressive debut, if he was 21 we would be losing our minds with excitement but even at 25 we would take that, very handy back up for Longer and Hickey. Hope we take the same combo into the last couple games. Richo said Longer might need surgery, if that's the case then I'd expect no change to...

Yeah, you did.

He also said Billy will need shoulder surgery.
