Agree his year was very solid. Kicked 33 , understands and implements the game plan and his role in it. In our best 23.

Having said that, there are 15 or 16 others whose absence would be more keenly felt. Anyway, glad he will likely be back in January.

I am happy to buy 5 shares- and happy with Ryan again.

The 1-4 year players are back on deck tomorrow, scheduled to be 9.30am for those that can make it down.
For those that can’t, I’ll put up a training report!

Thanks - that would be greatly appreciated. I hope you do your study tonight so you can work out who is who between the new lads !

With all the academy stuff, the first round went for 29 ( or so ) picks. If that is replicated next year, and if we finish mid table, our 3rd rounder is mid 50s. We thus have not given up much.. a bird in the hand…

Arie Schoenmaker at 62. Brilliant. Icing on the cake.

There have been 13 deals done last night and tonight, and we have been involved in 4 of them. Good to see SOS up and about. Of course they could turn out to be crap, but on the face they all look sensible .

Coffield replacement ?

So is he the Coffield replacement? 190 cm , off half back.

Edwards to Geelong. Murphy is ours if we want him

However it plays out, they have done a great job to give themselves a chance . The bounce back from a 0-3 start to win 6 of their last 7 is impressive. More impressive is that ( starting with the last quarter comeback in round 4 v Pies) they have started playing a good brand of team footy. Well done...

We were horrible last week - seemed not to handle the trip to Perth well, and never looked like it. Today however was fantastic. Great pressure all day. Defended superbly into the wind in the second quarter, and kicked away. Huge game next week against the Blues - win and we are a chance to play fin...

That would be so great for the entire club

They will be a fair chance to do that .

Freo - we should win.

Bris - likely loss.

Carl- we are even with them on the ladder, but we have been better in recent weeks.

We were very impressive early and continued the hard-at-it style from recent weeks. Once we skipped 4 goals clear in the 3rd quarter our pressure fell away. I think maybe the girls thought they were over the line. Hawks came strongly and suddenly we were only 8 points up, into the wind with plenty o...

Not sure how Jack Higgins finished 8th ahead of Mason Wood. I actually thought Butler had a slightly better season than Higgins. I agree with both your points. Wood had a better season than Higgins and, although Jack had a couple of stellar games ( which probably got him into the top 10), overall D...

Fred Swift 1967. Neville Crowe was suspended and missed Richmonds's premiership. Which was desperately unfair. That gutless thug John Nicholls feigned that Crowe had hit him in the semi final, the umpire got sucked in and reported him; and at the tribunal Nicholls did not fess up to his acting and ...

I suspect however he will be enjoying himself immensely right now in the post-match celebrations. Dare I say it, this is when Frampton Comes Alive.

The team kept up the excellent form from the last quarter last week. Really starting to play well as a team. Our tackling is ferocious. Our captain Hannah Priest led the way. Patrikios another fabulous game on the wing. Wardlaw now really finding her feet , with three goals and strong ruckwork. Sain...

Wonderful win. For the majority of the match the skills were very poor. The effort from all the girls was fantastic, but they could not string possessions together. However they hung in and managed to scramble a goal late in the third to draw within 20 points. Then in the last quarter, with the wind...

Cowboy is a true legend of the club. As others have posted , he had some amazing performances up forward, but he was even more effective when moved to defence. In the early 70s, when Lou/Bobby/Jack read out the Saints team “ from the backline- Judson, Murray , Neale”, you knew the opposing forwards ...

Greetings from a laundromat in Copenhagen! Surely there can’t have been a realistic expectation we would win this one - so hopefully the floodgates don’t open and we don’t get injuries. I am following the game only via the score updated on AFL website and the wonderfully insightful ( and some incite...

Greetings from Europe where I am visiting my daughter for the next few weeks- back for week 2 of finals. I managed to watch a replay - a fantastic team effort. 5. Jack Sinclair - again superb. 4. Rowan Marshall- dominant big man 2. Brad Hill - great linking game, working through an injury. 2.Jack St...

I am travelling overseas for a few weeks to visit my daughter. I won’t be back until after week 1 of the finals. I will not be in a position to watch the games, so invite others to open the voting threads. Best wishes for the next few weeks, and hopefully the Saints are still in the finals when I re...

A real team effort. Everyone did their job. 5. Max King. Straight kicking . Dominated when the game was up for grabs. 4. Rowan Marshall. Dominant early . Kick-started us. 2. Jack Sinclair. Gun 1. Jade Gresham. Hit the scoreboard early. Best game for ages . 1. Brad Crouch . I thought he was very impo...

I too am surprised re Clark and hope he is the sub.

Three forwards on the bench . I expect Owens will be in the midfield, with Higgins starting up forward.
