Ryder should be used as a top-up.

He can't string two games together due to age, what's the point, he'll probably retire at the end of the year. If we have to rely on him, that's an issue.

Meh, prefer the candy stripe one.

And the home jumper needs black piping... imo the 2010 (iirc?) home jumper was the best we've had.

Rule 1: Never trade with Essendon
Rule 2: See rule one

I am tired of being rooted by Essendon, STOP DEALING WITH DODORO AND ESSENDON PERIOD. Tell Dororo first round pick for anyone. I don't care about them anymore, every trade has turned out terrible with them, stop doing it.

I'd be happy for the club to go all out. We know what we're getting and they don't come often.

Yes, we need midfielders 100% been saying it for yonks, but this is an exception. You also need to think about injuries, if Max is out injured then what? Just Membrey?

…and I hope we never have one again.. Interest killer… Mid season, ok..staggered..but the whole comp stopping…no way! I don’t care about the players and coaches. The game must go on. I like you are forgetting the entire point of the bye. It was due to the concussion rule and I agree with it. Its 7 ...

Teague as an assistant for us? I reckon he seemed OK?

Our midfield is crap, and I have no idea why we delisted him after spending all that time getting him right. Happy to give him another go, the wrong call was made last time imo, way too early.

The problem I see with Hill is, he keeps getting the ball in positions that don't matter, like the back pocket. What we all want him to do is obtain the ball just past the wing and deliver it to King on a string or at least be that player that a defender can kick the ball too, and then play on. That...

Please try Alabakis.

When Marlion Pickett at 184cm was winning the ruck tap outs, its kind of ridiculous, to the point that we might as well try something different.

I'd keep McKernan in as he can play multiple positions. I don't think Hunter will go well against Gawn.

AFL cannot have it both ways. You cannot let Pickett off, and then suspend Long. You need consistency.

The outcome should be the same as Pickett.

Bradley Hill needs to kick the ball to a lead or at least to the advantage of a saints forward. With few minutes to go, he just bombed it to no one. He also fumbles a lot. I wish he fixed those two issues.

I don't think it's that simple. Blicavs is a bloody running machine and Stanley goes OK. Geelong were starting with Stanley and Blicavs was going from the wing into the ruck. There is 0 chance that Paddy would keep up with Blicavs, that blokes a running machine, which would mean he'd have to take St...

I didn't think he'd move slower than Hawkins
We didn't have a forward structure, we're too far down in the back-line and Geelong always had +1 in our forward line, never going to win that :/

I don't understand why Hill is getting the ball in the backline and then struggling to find a player to kick to. Why isn't he on the wing, so when the defenders get it, they have somewhere to kick to? Are we out of position? Why is a winger getting the ball in the backline instead of receiving it on...

Arguably Kent earned his pay packet in 2019, so he resets in 2020 at the start of his 2nd year of a 3 year deal and has it all before him to prove himself. Personally I think he showed enough in 2019 to suggest he can provide an ROI for the remainder of his contract. If he stays injury free he will...

I'm quite sad, Jack Newnes is actually a decent player and well ahead of some others on the list...

With what pick? Please don't tell me our first rounder....

Can someone please tell me what picks we have for 2020?

Is it just....
1x - First Round
2x - Fourth Round

So we've lost both second and third round picks?

absolutely terrible, whoever is in charge should be fired.

If it's Pick 10, Blake acres and a future second rounder, we got royally bent over for hill big time. Joke.

I have a funny feeling Hill will end up like hannerbery, and be injury prone. Time will tell. It's way too much to pay for one player.

lol Pick 58 AND paying for his salary. Jack can have two options 1. Keep his higher pay and play at the saints. 2. Go to Geelong for lower pay and we'll receive a 3rd round pick without paying any of his salary. That's it, not getting bent over by Geelong, it's ludicrous to pay for his wage. If Geel...

In - Pick 10, Future 4th Round
Out - Pick 12, Pick 18, Future 3rd Round

- Effectively Pick 18 for Howard
- Ryder a swap of 3rd and 4th round picks
- Slight upgrade from 12 to 10

I sure to hell hope Howard is worth Pick 18....

Hill for Acres is a bloody downgrade.... fml with this football club. Surely you jest my friend? Hill is an A grade mid with excellent speed and skill. Acres is a C grade floater who may or may not reach his undoubted potential. 1. 6 goals from an A grade winger from 22 games is not good enough. Gi...

who knows, half the experts here talked up Logan Austin too, so not holding my breath.
