He didn't poll in the top 10 for the B&F for Dogs. I think he's good is very good, he just requires consistency.

Re: For StK to become better

What stuck in my mind reading the OP was D-Mac and I can see others have also brought it up. Whilst I see that Acres will make the next step to A grade hopefully along with Billings and Paddy (Paddy has the tools, just needs to get on the park), D-Mac can really jump ahead. He has great attributes a...

Re: Dustin Martin

I've watched a lot of Dusty this year and he's incredible. Second to Dangerfield. He has the strength and ability to break tackles, get his hands free and keep the ball moving. He did very well in a rubbish team. I don't care that he has a s*** haircut and tattoos. Or has connections to the underwor...

Hi Jax, thanks for your tidbits! It gives us something to discuss and mull over and a bit of excitement at this team of year.

Re: Too much running?

I believe last year there was some uncertainty on Members position and role. We were seeking to use him as a big bodied pinch hitting midfielder. Similar to Hamill at times for very brief periods or I suppose how DMartin was in the earlier part of his career. DMartin now evolved into more mid/fwd th...

Re: Delistings

Any insight into why? Why not any longer to develop?

I don't mind all that much. If recruitment/development don't foresee that he can make it then I'm happy that the call is made earlier rather than persisting with no outcome e.g. Curren, Saunders

Re: Disposal Efficiency

So why are we only 9th? 15th for clearances, 17th for one-percenters, 18th for stoppages, equal 18th for frees against. Equal second for marks inside 50, but 7th for goal accuracy. Interesting that despite our reputation as a high pressure team, we were also 15th for tackles. According to http://ww...

Re: trade targets next two years

I'm unsure on Lennon. Despite injuries, has shown glimpses but hasn't come on. Who is our 2nd tal kpd? Goddard? given he'll miss half a season and is probably a couple of pre-seasons away from getting bulk, he's our 3rd tall kpd imo. Marchbank 2nd kpd? Talk about Carlton interest in Tomlinson, perha...

What isn't proven is that O'Meara can stay on the park. Freeman has played as much good football as him this year.
That is true and as such, I'm err-ing in the no camp unless the price is right given the risk.

We look good down back.
Yet lack a crucial 2nd tall. Goddard if/when he comes on maybe better suited to take the role of 3rd tall eventually replacing Gilbert? Possibly a Marchbank/Tomilinson/similar wouldn't hurt

Re: Is Jaeger Worth the Trouble?

IPerhaps we could trade Freeman for him, he was a No 10 pick. Fair comparison IMO. Loads of potential but can't get on the park. They'd want Acres or Gresham or Membrey or one of our other developing players. No thanks and certainly not on those terms. Little comparison. JOM is proven at AFL level ...

Re: Rucking issues

Saints pre 1997 GF was a rucking issue, if our ruckman were injured or past their prime then rucking issue, if going for a flag this year then an issue. It must be considered in context of where we finished last year. Having 4 developing ruckman is a non-issue for a developing team. I think it's exc...
