Re: Dunstan dropped
Good write up Now rate Dunstan’s career in comparison Dunstan started fairly well and promised a bit... about three years in it became evident that he couldn’t run out games and went missing for quarters and halves at a time. Had a couple of instances where he strung 3-4 good to excellent games tog...

Re: What do we need to make top 4 next year?
What do we need to make top 4 next year? 1. Trade in a competitive ruckman/forward. 2. Trade or draft outside speed and skills. (20 games from Hannebrey would be terrific) 3. A big preseason to hit the season flying. (Be much fitter than we were at the start of this year) 4. Some luck with injuries...

Whatever opinion you have about GT he is likely the of the most loyal Saints ever. I was told back on those days by some people who were more than ITK... He broke Barkers nose after finding TB in a very compromising position with GT,s then Fiancée on a bench press in St Kilda gym. GT was given his ...

Re: Kent
Small Forwards for me in 2022 will be Higgins, Butler and Gresham relieving playing parts of the game there. Back up: Long as a year on his contract so he is an option. The 2 Uncontracted: Lonie- he is finished- is not fast & is not strong or nuggety & easily brushed off. I expect him to be ...

Re: Why did Ken Sheldon go in ‘93?
Again that era of 1991-92 derailed by a lack of money in key times to get what we needed to win a flag. We were 1 key backman short in 92 we were offered Tony Campbell who did quite well against Plugger but we couldnt afford him and he went to the Bulldogs. Players like Adrian Fletcher & Dale K...

Re: Billings out

Re: Team v Blues
Why is Bytel out?
I have a theory.
One of Billings Ross or Dunstan will leave.
Dunstan’s currency gone up they keep playing him to get a compensation end of year.
Bytel will play next year.
The dynamics between Dunstan/ manager and the coaching staff don’t look overly healthy.

Re: Tony Lockett what a legend
Plugger is the awesome legendary football freak of all time. You want to rate Plugger think of 2 games- 1989 Vic game alongside Dunstall 1995 Vic game alongside Ablett Snr Both times he was the star that day he made the others look almost like a sidekick. He needed half the chances they did to score...

Re: Ben King
This years draft has quality mids we need to go back to the draft with our low pick . Ben King comes out of contract end of next year and we can try and prise him away then I know he wants to come home it’s only a matter of time.
