Re: Is Billings gone?

I said last week he has to be traded out whilst he has currency.
Dal Santo said the same this week.
Match winner- no
Consistent 4 quarter player- no
Influential player in key moments- no
Big Match player- no
Leader- no
Will play 200 games best to go now he isn’t what we need.

Re: Dunny watch

Same old Dunstan No class poor disposals and can’t run out games. Will be delisted end of year amongst another 8+. Got 100 games in seasons of Mediocrity. The one season we played finals he didn’t play, says it all. Simply not true. What part isn’t true? Last part is a fact the rest is an opinion. ...

Re: Saints management is like Helicopter parents

Don’t criticise Richo McCartin must be persevered with Hannebery and Kent were great trades Newnes is a future captain Joyce “I can’t spoil from behind” is ...

Re: Reality Check and where we are at!!

Great OP, Vazelos ( yes, I did read it...), and I agree with cwrcyn's assessment of the list. I think the 2024 timeline is unrealistic as we are essentially rebuilding (again) and are behind others like NM and even the Hawks, particularly given our position going into this draft and the lack of tra...

Re: Reality Check and where we are at!!

How come Webster gets a pass. Just as undisciplined as Long at times but just doesn't look as manic. Kicking is no better than Higgins in terms of quality. And Butler, how is he still picked - because we have no reinforcements. Billings and Ross are so far above those two but is the suggestion get ...

Most of us took the 1110 point loss as finals dashed.
No Nostradamus in that just official today.
Riewoldt and Steele said we would still make finals before today’s game so go figure.

Re: Message from the President

I think you have to ask the question why did we entice 2 players out of retirement and 2 others that were delisted. What does that say about the current list. To me that smells of list mismanagement. Well it was a top up wasn’t it. Recruit some ready made to cover a Carlisle or a Ryder to prevent w...

Re: The decision to pick McCartin.

I’ve had coffee a couple of times with Chris Pelchen and he told me the following. Pelchen remember was moved on before the draft but shortly before he left the decision was to take Petracca. When it was announced on Radio they had taken Mc Cartin, Pelchen moved to the side of the road and called El...

Trading a two times best and fairest winner for a pig in a poke? Thanks, but no thanks. He won the B&F in our poorer years. The same player who goes missing everytime the heat is on and still cant hit a target going forward. Would much rather off load him while he still has some value, take a s...

Re: What I hate more about this year!

What I hate more about this year, is not us losing. It is Melbourne having such a successful start to the season with Petracca starring. I hope Elshaugh rots in hell with his Paddy love, he has cobbled us to years of watching Petracca tear oppositions apart. Has to be the worst recruiting call of a...
