Re: Training- Friday January 27

Mike, how is Highmore going? Probably has the best judgement of the ball in flight (along with Wilkie) and cleanest hands in the club. Shame he isn’t 198cm. Could he fill a role forward this season given our lack of depth in that area and his ability to catch it? I like Tommy Highmore but he maybe ...

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!

If he gets a game, it's because he is ahead of them . What if he is better? Do we never recuit rookies who may or may not be better than what we got ever again? He has only been offered a list spot- no guarantee of games What have either of Byrnes or Bytel done that makes them a better prospect?. B...

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!

So what you are saying is Byrnes and Bytel are in their last year based on what they have done so far? But let's not recruit a bloke for FREE cause he might be better and get a game ahead of them? Remember- stocker has only been given an opportunity to win a spot, no guarantees. If he is no good he ...

You know there are jobs for the boys... just have to look for them. I am just writing off Bassat now. Just another in a long list of whatevers... Pies stuffed up their list royally and the one good move was to get Craig McRae. Saints did well to get Ross, but Silvagni is a liability.. if for nothin...

Re: Myth on Hunter Clark pure nonsense

I’m going to stay optimistic with Clark and Coffield. If they can show their full potential this year it will be huge for our chances of making the finals. Coffield will miss a few games at the start with that hammy. I think Hunter looks strong so I don't think his physique is an issue. I worry mor...

Re: Training today

ok seems we have a few on here now that go to training. Please enlighten me as to where you think our skill levels sit overall ? On a scale of 1 to 10, my guess is about 7-8 Sounds about right. But the really good sides can execute under extreme pressure. Will be interesting to see how we go agains...

Re: Training today

Someone's behaving after a smack. Good to see. Training seems to be going well. Still some concerns, forward line is a big concern, foot skills just as big, and the ruck rests on one mans shoulder because there is no one even close to being able to share the duties. Add max plus either Campbell or ...

Re: Is Lyon mark 2 the right fit for the saints

Personally think Ross gets a pass for 2023 as he sets things up for a sustainable future. Cannot fault anything Bassett or the club has done post the 2022 review. Everything from personnel, marketing to recruiting has been hard edged- Brutal maybe, but he has acted big time. Btw , I don't accept the...

Wonder if Mick proof read for factual consistency.
Embarrassing for Mick having his name attributed to such a poorly written and researched piece re: saints.
This has to be written by someone who spent two minutes scrolling Google.

Re: Max still wants the next kick.

Feel like we haven't played to his strengths. He is a real handful for and defender one on one in an open fwd line where he can use his pace and skills below his knees on the occasions he doesn't mark it. Slow ball movement means he is forced to wrestle 1 v 3+ and that's not his go atm

Re: Brad Hill - trade?

Seems Brad and family are unhappy with (some) Saints fans reaction to his contributions and is partial to a move because of that (source: Saints TV by way of unattributed rumours). If true then he and his management would need to find a club where he feels fully appreciated by their fans and not cr...

Re: AFL not investigating Zork

If reports are true about the Bastinac connection, then I doubt Petty wants to drag his sister through the mud. Probably a very poor sledge by today's standards, but doesn't warrant action. These days it's better to play footy and keep your mouth zipped. So it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge ab...
