Assuming we would have to give up pick 4 to get it done, is Shiel worth pick 4 - or would we be looking for another player or pick (maybe a second rounder) in the deal?

To "hate" another side getting success, just because we haven't had any... is (IMHO) the attitude of a loser. Yep and people on this forum were also bemoaning the Bulldogs' success two years ago for the same reasons. It just makes our support base look bitter and (as much as I hate using ...

Again, I’m going to have to disagree, and the stats seem to be on my side. 22 touches (2nd highest for Melb) at 72%, 7 score involvements, 7 inside 50, 1 goal and 4 clangers. Not saying he’s Dangerfield, but he’s more than capable and only getting better, and clearly miles ahead of Paddy and would ...

Surely you can't be serious?! Jack is a very good player, but he aint no Robert Harvey!

Good luck to Melbourne. They might as well get it over with — win the premiership and make us the club with the longest premiership drought. I met a long time suffering Melbourne fan a couple of weeks ago who was excited about where they were at. I argued with him that we were far more due a premier...

I'm interstate get a ticket to 1 game in bris/gc been a couple of times but doesn't always line up with work/time off. Have taken missus can buy extra ticket through club. Yep - we get one ticket for our $120 interstate membership (plus a hat or scarf, pin, sticker and lanyard). I think its safe to...

Ridic.

Seriously impressive. If he is the best available at our pick we have to take him - South Australian or not.

didn't bother to watch his Holman's message. But never, did he really admit that he has made errors this year. His stubborn belief in himself has cruelled the whole club. Kept playing the same underachievers, couldn't develop anyone, could not work out why our skills were Auskick level, and continu...

Absolute gold. Reminds us why we love the Saints so much.

We might be in Tasmania in 5 years Good! It would give us more direction than we have now! Guys (gals?)!!! :shock: We move away, and that's the end of our beloved footy club!!! (South Melbourne and Fitzroy are no more, no matter how hard some try to delude themselves.) We do have major issues, but ...

Lockett has always shunned the limelight - far from arrogant. Robert Harvey - about as far away from arrogant as you can get. Baldock - nope. Stewart - maybe (?). Barker - flamboyant but not really arrogant. Riewoldt - not particularly arrogant.
We just need good players!

As an editorial aside - FA is a complete and utter crock. It was introduced to appease the PA to (1) Allow players to move more freely between clubs and (2) as a by product, equalise the clubs with the pool of talent distribution. It's barely achieved 1 and most definitely not 2. Until the AFL some...

If Paddy had the game Battle has had tonight he would get absolutely ripped apart He probably still will even though he didn't play. Battle was awful - he has a lot of work to do. It was probably Josh's worst game but we're not comparing apples with apples - Paddy, a 4th year player, Josh just into...

Paddy is slowly building his game and tank. He is still very young for a big fella and will get better - especially after 50-75 games. Stop comparing him to Riewoldt and other forwards too. Its pointless and unfair. The modern game doesn't help how Paddy plays either. I would hate to be a key forwa...

I didn't mind Craig Devonport as a player, but he is surely too old now to replace anyone?!

Why would we not want Harvs back at the Saints in some capacity? The guy is red, white and black through and through. Our games record holder and one of the greatest players ever to wear the Saints jumper. A dead-set legend and it hurts me to the core everytime I see him in the Magpies box. Apart fr...

No doubt he was poor; but I’ve never seen a forward able to kick bags when the only delivery he gets are munged helicopters, hospital passes, grubbers or 15m either side of him. I have, but he was the greatest player I’ve ever seen. I saw him too, you would go to game expecting to lose but it did n...

Richo can then rotate them between the Ruck and Full Forward. They'd be strong at Full Forward.

Jimmy is our toughest player since Nathan Burke

Would be a handy addition to our 2020 push for a premiership and will have had a year to recover from all those niggles

Not sure what the fuss is about this bloke. One of the most average players I have ever seen at the Saints. Falls over at the wrong time always, and also turns it over often. Everyone has fallen in love with him. We have so many half back flankers who will be better than him. McKenzie, Coffield, Wh...

Sensational player and great guy. It was great to see him take Julia Zemiro to where he grew up outside of Pingelly. By many people's standards he started with nothing, except for very supportive parents and other great relationships.

Hickey and Webster for Longer and Brown
