Some more mids who can kick.
2 x meat axes. One fwd and one back - who play physical.

No more small forwards and medium half backs?

Dustin Martin? Sloane?

You know I was listening to abc radio on Saturday and Burkey was on. They were talking about watts and how he stuffed up with something he said in Thursday? Anyways the commentators felt he was very unlikely to be at Melbourne next season. I can't remember exactly what was said from there but something gave me the impression burkey quite rated him and felt he'd flourish at another club in a new environment. Made me wonder whether he is someone we are looking at..?

We need,

6 more quality mids that can rotate forward and back.
CHB and FB

and a CHF/3rd tall forward that will take contested grabs.

And aggression like armo's and mcgylnn's on every line

He is dreadful. He will be dreadful at any club. He is an outside midfielder in a key position body. Melbourne would be good to fool another club into thinking he will come good at their club.

And it wouldn't be the first time in recent years that we've taken the bait..

Sadly, Watts lacks the drive, aggression, and intensity to be a key position player in the AFL. He's a floater and a cruiser. Not what we need.

Promises to be a pretty exciting off season with high picks and salary cap room.

Watts has actually improved lately I'm no fan but worth a look. A KPB is vital- poor old Blake looked like he struggled to keep up these days.

It's going to need to be very creative to get Watts to our club - not worth our first pick and id suggest even our 2nd pick is overs and I doubt our 3rd pick will be enough to get the deal done.

Watts will go to Freo perhaps?

We need some mids with outside run, we break down with that kick into the 50. Guys that can do a bit of both.

Ross/Armo can be the engine rooms.

Sorry gringo. Disagree watts has improved. I was at the ground and saw every one of watts possessions. I also saw what he refuses to do. He puts no pressure on and his opponents love to kick goals due to his lackluster efforts. He runs around in circles to give and get the ball back so he accumulates possessions. He is s*** and will always be s***.

Melbourne will do well to fool another club with him and god I hope it's not us!

SAINTS have been riddled with this enigma for the entirety of the their existence - believing they can turn ordinary players from other clubs into stars. Hopefully that cycle finishes this year ! WATTS is a soft c**k and no matter what team his is playing for that status quo will remain !


SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

Some sensible picks in the draft and a very very very quiet off-season. Be good boys....

That is wishful thinking, never happens!

We also need to pray we still get all the $$$ from NZ, as we sure as hell will have bugger all members next year......

If we were to get Martin, what would we have to give up for him?
