Koby Stevens early retirement due to extraordinary circumstances - is that grounds for a priority pick? 2nd or 3rd rounder - due to his age experience and that he was first choice 22? Ok I am deluded but is it worth enquiring? Have there been any other best 22 players that have retired at such an e...

So we are to go aggressive in the trade period this year. Now where have I heard that before.... Saints plan on aggressive trade strategy this year Marc McGowan Aug 27, 2017 8:50PM http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-27/saints-plan-on-aggressive-trade-strategy-this-year PS I would love Gaff... Yeah,...

Absolute gun
I'd offer 5 x $1 million + pick 3.

Surely given two posters have indicated from ITK sources that the club believes our issues relate to our talent (or lack there of) - we will need to ask for a Priority Pick? How the hell will we get a priority pick when we almost made finals last 2 years? We have just had one bad season!!! If Brisb...

Saints to get 'aggressive', interested in Gaff - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-23/saints-to-get-aggressive-interested-in-gaff Not a chance though unfortunately, but its official. Tipping they made it public because J McGovern made a decision. I reckon the Saints are better off targeting a couple...

Just use our draft picks wisely. In McGovern's draft we took Tom Curren and Warrick Andreoli before J. McGovern was taken. Lethlean is so right to have tapped Elshaugh. Look at the opportunity cost just in that episode and the use of Pick 1 on Paddy. Makes me weep - the shocking incompetence. That ...

LOL

So a WA boy born and bred was going to leave a behemoth top 4 club who pull huge crowds and play in a brand new stadium to go across the country and play with the Saints.

Seriously FFS.

Parkey - you need to stop making these utterly ridiculous predictions.

Let's see how we go this week.

Richo is still trying to copy the Dogs game plan from two years.

Meanwhile the Tiges are on Tigers 2.0 and the Giants are about to start unleashing a whole new burst.

Because there is no KPP defender included as his replacement

Fair call.
Bring in Hugh as well.
Savage and Newnes out.

Out: Weller, Gilbert, Rice (shoulder), (Newnes or Savage)
In: Acres, Connellan, Coffield, Freeman

I'd love to see Connellan come in to the ones.
Coffield and Acres have to come in.

As I have posted before, Greg "Wasteaway" and the Footy First movement was the biggest disaster to ever hit the Saints. Skated in to power when we were a force and then oversaw our destruction. Also fff-up his own business at the same time to make it two disasters at once. The guy was all...

Hopefully we do a community camp out in cattle country. South Gippsland maybe. Traralgon.
Imagine the photo opportunity.
Mav in dusty jeans. Rugged boots. No shirt. An akubra on top.
Phwoooar.
Richo will have dancing loins at the prospect of this.

Don't forget that Collingwood were also good in 2011 and 2012.

They then didn't finish lower than 12th.

Pressure. We lacked it severely and thes Tiges game is built on it. Tiges had strong pressure in defence and offense. Boys against men. It's a simple game and game plans are rendered useless if you can't muscle up. The two teams playing last night are at polar opposite ends of the physicality and p...

Lions will give the Crows a serious run for their money on current form lines.

Anyone think the integrity unit of the AFL might have issue with just throwing in every player from the feeder team just cause? Integrity of the selection. Is it a thing when you are 15th on the ladder with 5 rounds to go? If we are 15th then clearly the regulars haven't been performing brilliantly...

A premiership contender with the nostrils flaring and snorting with September in sight versus a youthful and developing aspirant. There's your explanation. We aren't as youthful as you might think. There is also no guarantees being young now means we will be automatically good in two years. Ask Car...

Carlton and the Suns are the only teams we can be certain of finishing above next season.

Strangely enough Curls does not keep notes on those ones

There is a strange mentality that if we occasionally get close to a top 8 team it is a good result.
Lind of like we accept that we are under 12s and the other teams are under 14s.
It is a troubling mentality.
