Re: Elwood Peckett
Rookie selection option at absolute best IMO. Frankie Pickett will be a possible father daughter selection. Unfortunately I don’t rate Boston Everett as a high end talent either. Still, things can turn in a short period of time at that age so fingers crossed. I’m waiting and hoping I’m still around...

Re: In Garcia, Windhager Out Hastie Jones
Wtf Zac injured? I fear for Zack's long term future, if he gets dropped after a reasonable game last week. It was far from his best, but by no means worst, game. When you factor in our injury list, his omission, at least for this week, is a bit bewildering......unless you refer back to comments pos...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Or ... A very young Saints team missing players 8 players were very lucky and not so brave to get the 4pts against an undermanned Tigers side Beautifully put, Devilhead.

Re: Side vs GWS
We match up well against GWS. I am more confident against them than I am of us versing Cats, Essendon or Port or the Crows if I'm being honest. VERSUS 'Versing' isn't a damn word' “Versing” actually was a verb about poetry before kids started using it the way they do today. The Oxford English Dicti...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Would you suggest Webster for Boner? Howard for Cordy? Dow for Jones? Which others? That's a good start, Big Max. I can find room for Henry for Hastie. Windhager for Butler Wood for Caminiti Crouch for Byrnes That's 7 and I'd find room for Clark as well. Take those 8 inclusions and try and show how...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Kicked 1 goal to half time. Managed to fall over a bottom 4 team. Whilst losing to a bottom 6 team last week Not exactly setting the world on fire. You're missing the point.

Re: An early season test for our coaches
If you have too many developing players in a team it isn’t going to win many games. We already have Caminiti, Sharman, Owens, Phillipou, Wilson and Hastie, and presumably Windhager will come back in next week. And now you want to add Bonner, Schoenmaker and Garcia. It’s far too many! What if they'r...

Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Is it just me, or did the media heap praise on "The battling, undermanned, Tigers", while conveniently ignoring our lengthy list of unavailable players? This is a hangover from last year, when our amazing performances were rarely, if ever, attributed to the ability of our underrated list. ...

Kicking more than 70 points a game would be a good start. Henry has been a huge loss.

Re: Kickin’ Back with Gilbert McAdam
Another great St.Kilda player and person who finished his career elsewhere. He was just as important, if not morsoe than Nicky was when it came to fighting racism.
Enjoy, everyone. Great recommendation, Scollop.

The rot set in after we hired that corkhead, Ben Dixon. We went from bad to worse under his "tutelage". Don't forget his best "technique" was to get the players to imagine the best sex they'd ever had, as they were lining up, and visualize their partner in that union standing be...

Re: Sandy V Essendon

Re: Isaac Keeler
How many games did Max King play in defense? Another example was Barry Hall. A disaster in defense. A premiership captain (with help from the tribunal) as a KPF.
Isaac is a natural forward/ruck. It also happens to be a role we desperately need to fill. Play him there.

Re: Isaac Keeler
I thought we recruited Keeler to be developed as a future Paddy Ryder type. That made sense, in that Isaac was physically similar to Paddy, was athletic like Paddy, and was exceptional below his knees for such a tall man, just like Paddy. All good so far. Isaac shows plenty of promise as a tap ruckm...

Gresh was on track to be a star, pre-2020. His bad luck with multiple and significant injuries began with stress fractures in his back in 2020. That was followed by a torn Achilles tendon in 2021, a devastating injury for a player whose main weapon was acceleration. This injury is notoriously diffic...

Collard with 4. He has that touch of class about him. Has just been awarded best on ground by the Channel 7 crew. Still physically immature, but he will be some sort of player in the future. I just hope we can hang on to him. A tick for Garcia as well. Attacks the ball as though it's his prey. The 2...

Aahh, Billings. The ultimate flat-track bully. The Graeme Hick of the AFL. Looks like a million dollars against ordinary opposition, but rarely performs when it's all on the line. Watch him dominate at Casey!

Re: Kicking at goal
We should've put them away by halftime. The final blow was Stringer kicking the set shot from outside 50. Talk about a punishing lesson. I wonder how Sharman, Higgins, and the other guilty parties felt having missed what should've been gimmies for AFL standard forwards. Losing so narrowly was the sa...
