I find Lethal's commentary insightful and unbiased and I really enjoy listening to what he's got to say........unlike the other idiots like Carey, Richo etc

The skip is in sensational form but the fact that we're not winning enough games means he misses out on a lot 3 vote games - need to get over the line against particularly the good sides as we are seriously threatening to do.

Blake Acres is an absolute beauty - should be allowed to string a few games together, he could be every bit as good as Bontempelli if not better.

citywest, you started this ridiculous post, how does that humble pie taste?

As long as he's dominating when we challange it's not a big deal. He can get his body right now. The biggest issue I see is his welfare and keeping him focused for another 12 months. It will be so tough for all these players. I hope we have something in place to help him get through this period. Do...

Great news, I love watching Sav, especially when he's streaming into goal and pops it through the hi diddle diddle from 60! Haven't seen the best of Sav yet.......he is a keeper

Really happy about the move back to Moorabbin for the players' sake, and being a Hampton lad, I might actually be able to catch the odd training session. Some consideration would need to be given to playing some of the home and away fixtures against interstate teams there; we never break even at Eti...

It must be said that since Matt Finnis joined the Saints just over 18 months ago, there's a lot that's gone right for us. Amongst his list of achievements was securing our new sponsor Pepper and I'm sure he was a big part of making the move back to Moorabbin happen. There is just so much positivity ...

What is the obsession with Mathieson on here? I dont get it.

+1
I'm glad it's not just me that doesn't understand what the fuss is all about

The rookie upgrades were done prior to the draft...

I'm not......apparently a FIGJAM and we don't need that. Tested badly at draft camp as well which is why he is a slider most probably.... welcome Brandon White

Bonner, Balic and Mathieson still there...

I would take Tucker over Balic to be honest.

Hey Jaxons, do you have any insights for us?

re: outside vs inside midfielder argument. I still return to the 2009 GF when we had to leave Armitage out of the side, because we already had Ball as the inside midfielder. Which demonstrates to me that there is only room for so many (inside midfielders/players) in the side - which suggests that w...

Hope not, doesn't suit our needs.....we need outside run.

I have a feeling we might go for Ryan Burton... Was a considered #1 before he broke leg, tall forward hopefully mid type... Sounds like a stringer type. Pick 14 might be high enough to take the punt....! Just a feeling. He's an SA boy so the go home factor will always be a worry and he had a shocki...

Yep, Acres, McKenzie and I think Minch will have his breakout year next year........There is something very Rhys Jones about Blake Acres......I don't mean he goes around biffing blokes but he seems like he's in slow motion but still has plenty of time.....smooth mover!

Love gresham now. His attitude speed and ball winning abolity has me won. Under-18 captain, sub 180-cm, leadership qualities. Reminds anyone else of Andrew McQualter? Nothing like McQualter. Go have a look at highlights on YouTube. Have contacts who follow TAC and the kid has star qualities written...

What about this guy - Riley Bonner?? http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/playmaking-west-adelaide-defender-riley-bonner-is-kicking-his-way-to-the-top/story-fnelctok-1227590575334 No chance Oliver will fall through to 14.....definitely worth considering this kid, looks good. A fantastic attribute being...

Yeah agree Con we definetly need someone with a bit of outside pace. Oliver is another inside mid isn't he? We have plenty of them already. I reckon he's inside and outside. He's a bit like a Dangerfield or Sloan who win their own ball but are finishers as well. Oliver is a play maker and will take...

Also, absolutely love how Hawthorn ended up with egg on its face when our man turned his back on them - how dare someone turn down an offer to join the all conquering Hawks and possibly play in a premiership team next year - Jake is already a favourite of mine :D :D :D :D We offered him a shitload ...

I wanted to keep 5 at all costs. Pick 14 coming back in kinda soothes that somewhat. I'm really starting to get a semi for Lachie Weller. When you compare taking a risk on an untried kid vs a kid that already has a year in the system, at one of the stronger clubs currently.....It feels like a safer...

Agreed..... would give up pick 14 for Lachie Weller in a heartbeat...would throw in steak knives as well if required.

You can rely on Channel 10 or me!!

You da man Jaxons

Not 100% certain we will use pick 14 at draft yet :) Do we have a target in mind or just browsing? Yes we have a clear target, hinges on McCarthy getting to Freo. Weller, weller, weller oooooh.....tell me more, tell me more.... Not entirely in our hands, hope it falls our way. Thanks buddy...
