Re: Dan McKenzie
Daniel is a solid citizen but no star - why are we forking out cash to delist him, get him maybe right with no guarantee we even secure him if he gets back? We forked out the cash in order to see if he can play on. List spots are more precious than cash. He only get picked up again if he does not b...

Re: Will Paddy Dow and Liam Henry make us better?
For St Kilda yes. As Dow and Henry will be in the seniors
For Sandy no. For if those three had stayed, at least 2, and may be even all three would have been back up players mainly playing for Sandy.

Re: Under the pump....Ben King
While Max and Ben should both probably land some more tackles, I think that in the main key forwards who are your key targets are not going to land high tackle counts. Often the defenders on them will be seeking to take them out as they tray and mark. So harder for them to then chase players. There ...

Vastly different than the full-time high pressure gig he was hired for at St Kilda.

Re: Who replaces Gresham?
I don't think it's as easy as someone comes in to replace the role Gresham plays. With the inclusions of Dow and Henry I feel we will see the whole midfield, Wing and Half Back rotations change. Wouldn't be surprised if Henry comes in and plays wing, pushing Hill to HB. Sinclair may find himself in...

Re: Billings

Re: Billings
I like the fact that the last 2 years of Billings cost $1.1m and the next 2 years cost only about $250k. That is basically how I think of it. As I have said many times before Billings has been a decent player for us. Though injury riddled the last 2 seasons. BUT with the players we have now, and th...

Re: Draft prediction - player types
Seems the Northern States (NSW and QLD) have figured out that the draft is chooklotto most of the time ...so they've increased the odds of success with their talent Academies. We did ok out of our NGA in 2021. We need to try and emulate that success and try and promote our Academy for outstanding j...

No, 1/ We are meant to be building around our core of good younger players, so that the team gets better each year. Wines is too old for that. He is more a top of player to help you win now, which is not us. 2/ You would only therefore take an older player is he is cheap, and helps our younger playe...

Re: Congrats to Mattaes
Well yes good that he got a Brownlow Vote, but for this game cannot fathom how he was at all worthy of a vote.
Did the Umps get him and Owens mixed up, as Owens was one of the better Saints that game, whereas Mattaes was not?
