Presuming everything goes well with Goddards knee, it might be mid 2008 before he gets full confidence back. Goose needs a full preseason and a bit of intense coaching to work on his lack of discipline on-field as well as decision making..he has strength and skills, but needs work. Definately need a...

If you want to build a premiership team for 2008 and beyond, you need a mixture of skill, strength and team players, you cant afford to have hot and cold players, chronically injured players who come in and out of the side -too destabilising. I can't see the following players contributing to a premi...

We've lost those last quarters largely due to our engine room running out of puff - probably more injury-related fitness issues than the club will let on. Our forward line was rubbish this year with up and down form from too many players. We needed Max's and Goose's hard bodies in good form down bac...

I remember back to Plympton saying how great it was having the Saints playing home at AFL park Waverley with all the future benefits. He changed his tune quickly, but that and AFL park are history now. I've got no doubt our past and present and future presidents are loyal Saint supporters who ultima...

I'm curious as to how people are basing anything around Gardiner - I doubt whether his foot problems will let him play more than a handful of games at any time in the future, same scenario as Hamill with his ongoing problems...their best days are gone. I would be looking at another young ruckman som...

Jones did very well over in the west, so it would have been silly not to grab him. He has had one year with us, and just as he was showing good form had a serious injury to inerrupt it for a number of weeks...not the kind of injury you bounce back from in a hurry. I think with an uninterrupted pre-s...

Simple, you want to build a team to win a flag then rather than talk axe, talk rebuilding, and some will come and some will go. A big issue is recurring injury-prone players who won't generally contribute the full season and lead to team unbalance, so RL will need to look at some on the list. Streng...

Well you don't win flags with injury-prone players and we have a few too many of those. RL will know that we need to recruit or trade to get more goal-kicking power and more grunt around the packs and centre clearances. Good rucks don't grow on trees, so who knows what will happen there as we do nee...

I think there is a freak-elite, they are the guys who can swing a match in their team's favour in a quarter. The freaks who kick 4 goals in quarter, or do nothing all day then set up or kick goals in the last 10 mins of a match. They are the guys who get you over the line in must-win matches. Here's...

There's winners and losers, whether you deserve it or not. The best team won the flag in '66. When you look at that team, we were balanced across most lines..Bob Murray at FB in great form, Cowboy Neale kicking goals, Moran with penetrating kicking on the run, Synman across HB, Baldock on wobbly kne...

What to do with Dal
I'm a bit worried about how NDS is progressing - great skills but after a few seasons, has still not learnt the art of breaking taggers and is tagged out of so many important games..seems a real one-paced player who doesn't lift when needed. Once tagged, he is a goner in our engine room. I would put...

I notice Geelong lose a couple of key players and lose the game- it's not necessarily all about fitness. Quality of players is a important -if you have a team of 18 superfit athletes who are ordinary footballers, you won't win many games, you need a balance of quality, fitness and of course, luck wi...
