Was Cath invited

Do we have a problem? If you had been to any pre season sessions you could see how brutal they were. To get to the top you have to go to the extreme levels. The players all bought in. I mean if you had gone to Moorabbin on Boxing Day you would have seen senior players doing continuous 400m sprints-...

Thought Byrnes was great today - suspect Windy might make way for Billings, hasn't recaptured the spark from last year yet but confident he will!

Acres is a good player but very injury prone

I was praying for Keeler to fall to the Saints in the draft, he is SO gifted and if he applies himself, he could be absolutely anything - I say we don't try to rush the kid, give him the time he needs and I think it will pay huge dividends in due course

Liam Stocker when interviewed after the game on SEN was asked about Mitch and he said he's never seen anything like him basically saying for someone so tall he runs like a gazelle and is built like a brick sh**house and as tough as they come. I can't remember the exact wording but it was along those...

He's VERY handy around goal

Max in for Cordy this week?

No, not Mason, that'll be a MASSIVE loss for us, he's been sensational!

Bloody hell, we can't take a trick...Jimmy Webster potentially broken cheekbone now - not too many soldiers left and I think it's only Jack Bytel that's ready to come back in

5 Mason Wood
4 Brad Crouch
3 Seb Ross
2 Callum Wilkie
1 Jack Higgins

Not a great sign he hasn’t signed.. From the little I know he seems very happy, the club isn’t worried, and his manager is just after as many biccies as he can get Great news. A poster on BF is alleging that Bergman wants to come back home to St Kilda even if NWM stays. If true it would be nice to ...

King and Membrey would replace Phillipou and Owens, who would both need to be fitted in somewhere else on the field: although it might also be the case that Phillipou will spend some time at the Zebras, as its a big ask for a kid as young and as slight as him to play an entire season of AFL (althou...

Brilliant Mason Wood, excellent game yesterday and in career best form, so happy for him! I remember when we picked him up, one of my good mates who is a mad North supporter, was bleeding. He was frustrated at his constant run of injuries but said that if we could get his body right, he could be any...

Tries his guts out but his kicking is a real worry, 2023 version of Clint Jones? Clint Jones is a great comparison! I was pushing for Byrnes to be delisted at the end of last year but on yesterday's showing I've got that completely wrong, he was enormous and played a big part in our win. Hopefully ...

Went along to the game yesterday and was so impressed with Mason Wood - as long as he can stay injury free, I think he's in for a big year, looks supremely fit and did some really nice things yesterday.

I'd back Rossy in to get this guy's head right, look at what he did for Michael Walters at Freo...

Just a reminder of how good this guys is:-

Can't replace Max but for me the best option would be Cooper Sharman initially. Only around 193cm but he's got a great leap on him, great mark and great kick, strikes me as a natural full forward

Forget this business about him playing down back, the kid's a forward

Very pleased to be giving it a crack! Could be the next Paddy Ryder or............. Spencer White Yes depending on what you read, it’s high risk high reward. Lots of reasons why he is a bargain and almost as many as to why buyer beware . Obviously has some issues but hey has a lot of up side & ...

Love the look of Isaac Keeler......still raw but great skills and could develop into something special IMO - Paddy look alike

I'd be disappointed if we decide to trade up from Pick 9 as it looks like we'll get one of the gun midfielders regardless if we stay at 9 - we're sure to get one of Tsatas, Clark, Mackenzie, Phillipou, Ginbey or Humphrey - happy with any of those

I'd be very happy if they pick up Elijah Hewett, has that x-factor about him, don't mind him fancying himself, shouldn't every player? Buddy Franklin fancied himself as a kid but let his footy do the talking, reckon Hewett is in the same mould. Fact is that in the 2021 draft, only 4 players, includ...

I like Phillipou from the limited footage I’ve seen. So quick and such a beautiful left foot kick. I think he’d give us that class and outside run. Not sure about McKenzie. He reminds me a bit Gresham. Gets a lot of it but disposal looks a bit limited. I like the kid from SA with our second (Keeler...

From the footage I've seen, I'd be happy with any of those 3 guys and there's also the possibility that we get Humphrey as well - we're sure to land a good mid anyway (based on potential anyway). I've got a feeling Cam Mackenzie goes to Hawthorn and we end up with Phillipou which I'd be more than ha...

My wife went out for dinner with young Max's mum the other night and apparently he just loves being at the Saints! He comes from a great bayside family and just hope the young lad cracks it for a few games next year! Love this We have spent a fair bit of time with him at various functions etc - he ...
