Over the years I’ve heard the suggestion to play Roma as a forward and get another ruckman and rejected it. Now I reckon a Max /Roma combo would be the go with a full time ruckman . We went for and failed to get Draper, should we have gone harder for Xierri? Should we have had a go at Grundy, or may...

Our goal kicking was poor but on the flip side their poor goal kicking kept us in it

I think in the article where they ask the club captains (afl.com) only 3 picked us in the eight

Makes me now wonder if he may end up having his career shortened if he continues getting head knocks/concussions.
Wouldn’t wish it on anyone , and agree he can’t get a good run

What’s that old saying?
Better to let people think you’re a d*ckhead than open your mouth and confirm it.

Higgins is the one that stands out in my memory as inaccurate but he’s not the only one I’m sure. Kick more goals than points or out of bounds is a good start.
If we can play in our half more than their half would be good some players by the time they have a shot at goal look spent/ worn out

Pity the rules make it hard to develop young and local players as far as getting priority access/ drafting. You can develop them but if they’re top 40 now I think you can’t bid

I was just pointing out that some of our players are under appreciated by some fans but over rated when it comes to value when trading out

Remind me what did we get for Billings ?

just looked up saints site, all are listed there Pou remains 25

i think Pou asked for that number this time last year.
I wonder if he will move numbers also.

I thought a few years back Nick was being talked up as a potential board member, maybe that might be a better fit.
Personally I like seeing some ex players back involved.

Thanks Tony

I think it makes sense and is fair to club and player.
I read somewhere that the club had to offer him a contract or delist him.
As I understand it if he comes good, he can be signed up without going to the draft so if another club makes a better offer than us then good luck to him.

Didn’t Pou request 2 from the start but got 25

Collingwood was mentioned on Fox trading show last night. Mmaybe a smokescreen for other trade targets

If he was fit I would have him in the starting 18 based in the last time I remember him playing.

Essendon must be spewing the story came out before he was traded unlike the Carlisle photo the day after

Worth keeping I reckon perfect player as a sub less game time able to make an impact

I say do the deal with Gresh if it ends up pick 33 so be it.
If we want Shiel then maybe 33 or lower.
Why would we manipulate the deal to give an apposition team pick 13 ?
If the AFL allowed it I bet they wouldn’t if it was the other way around.

Maybe the injury to Callum Mills has sweetened the deal

It’s voted on by the coaches so it’s probably more authentic than is suggested.
Apparently Kingsley was crap at the saints must have fast tracked improvement

You would think if he came to us must be considered better than Caminiti and Sharman

Is there anything on the Membrey statement if it was on here I must have missed it

Someone in the media suggested he try to get to bulldogs or west coast as the coaches were on shaky ground but it might end up same as Richmond , maybe he’s best coaching his own side at a lower level then go for a top job
