Re: Saints worst player today

Those having a go at Schneider just confirm their knowledge of footy is as bad as Essendon played today. Ok to have an opinion but Schneider was great today as were about 21 other players. Seriously some of you need a friggin bloody mirror. Did you sink a few at the footy today plunger? No did you?...

Re: Longer.

Been saying it all along. The guy is a bull and the mids walk taller when he's out there. A real competitive beast and he will only get better. Will be one of the best rucks in 2-3 years.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

Not a lot of depth in this draft so wouldn't be surprised if we used our first two picks, upgraded Sinclair and looked to bring in a player or two via trade. I don't think we'll make more than 5-6 changes to our list and don't think we heavily invest in the draft like the previous two years.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

Hey OM, Got any thoughts on the possiblity of trading in James Aish? Was with Dunstan when they won the TAC cup and could be the elite mid-field type we desparately need. Surely we must be taking a look at him. Given our likely draft position we might be wise to trade away our first round (which is...

Re: Poll - Do you want us to beat Essendon?

Who were the four pricks who voted NO? Life must be fun in their house. At a guess I would say it was non-Saints supporters who have accounts on Saintsational or Saints supporters taking the piss. As much as the so-called 'tankers' (I'm apparently one) want the highest draft pick possible I'm 99% s...

Re: Under 18 AA Team

What's with this obsession of wanting to draft defenders. We need midfielders. The game is won and lost by the quality of the midfield. All I read was an obsession with drafting the best available kid. If the best available kid is Jacob Weitering - who as a 17 year old for the u18's Academy blitzed...

Re: Whats the difference between us and Collingwood?

The Pies started their rebuild after the 2011 grand final. Since then they have shown faith in their younger players getting games into them and now they are reaping the rewards. We are playing the old farts and delaying the development of kids like Templeton, Mckenzie, Goddard and McCartin who are ...

Re: Under 18 AA Team

Given the 20% discount on draft points a club will take if they bid for an academy player which is then ultimately matched by the academy club, I just can't see the point having a crack at an academy player. The potential for losing draft position is just not worth it. In later rounds maybe but not...

Collins and Weitering are pretty solid units. If we could get one, we have a super solid spine along with Bruce and Patty. Its becoming obvious you will spend big money on KPP.

Re: Poll - Do you want us to beat Essendon?

Callum Twomey says.... Midfielder 181cm Geelong Falcons. Darcy Parish is very close to being the best midfielder in the draft because of his ability to take the game forward. The run-and-carry specialist loves to take the game on. He's instinctive and tries to get the ball his team's way, and quick...
