Yep, great pick up- but he should start in defense for mine. Can't see McCartin, Membrey, Bruce and Battle all in the forward half.
Yes, maybe if one of them flops!

Battle???

I would pass on Rankine- tho he looks a class above in the juniors he already has a mature body and will not grow much more, nor get any quicker. Smith is in the Fyfe/Cripps mold - he will get bigger for another year or two. Walsh is small, a boomer Harvey type. We have one of these- Steven, so a pa...

smith would be my pick- still developing, good size, likes the in and under, great kick, right footer (we have so many lefties) - we need midfield class.

agree that the clips may mislead - for me Smith is the obvious standout, with daylight... the next. Rankine already has that mature body- he will not grow much more, he may build muscle mass but will not be able to break tackles like he does against boys and his speed off the line will be matched by...

The Pelchen blueprint??? --we're supposedly stocking up with left footers so it must be in play

from Barneboyz: Watching some of Tom's many highlights I can only hope that Seb can learn to take more time and straighten up with his kicking (also lower his eyes). If he can do this, then he could be a beast. Time will tell, and he's already at the club! [/quote] here's hoping. Seb should be worki...

how can anyone favour a team that has beaten us in the GF. never for me- no to Hawks, Adelaide, Collingwood, Geelong.
So it must be the westies for this supporter.

how many left foot midfielders can one team play - how predictable will we be???????

I once bumped into Dolly Parton in an airport lounge .... can’t say we still see each other but for that special moment we were close....didn’t feel a thing btw

so they're called things now? Political correctness gone mad!!! The mods have much to answer for!!!

You can’t underestimate the void left by Roo, Joey and Shinner. They drove our training last year well it seems too many did and overestimated the resilience and leadership of the list left shocking oversight or undersight - in hindsight and no one saw it coming???? so no one had the foresight to s...

HAwks - same coach for over a decade, gun players retired and replaced with average GOP's - out of the finals in straight sets. A great coach does not a great team make! Players can make the coach look a genius and also a dud. It seems every team needs enough A grade talent before you can judge a c...

Just what we need - an inside midfielder who kicks on the left, is decidedly one sided, no real pace .......... oh wait!!!

There is no point thinking that players like Newnes, Sinclair or Savage would attract trade interest. to get into the draft, or to trade for quality we will have to be prepared to let go players other recruiters may believe they can do something with. Many on here believe that Billings in another en...

Fair call on Sinclair but I doubt we would get any interest. A first rounder for Billings would be acceptable in my view, he does not play to his draft position so another should be tried. We need to be in this draft somehow to have the wherewithal to make a play for some real talent. A first and se...

Of those who suited up in the last game of the year there are only 6 I would not consider trading; others if a great offer came and some who we are unlikely to be able to move on and who will therefore stay or be delisted. SO: Should not be traded- Membrey, Steele, Gresham, Steven, Carlisle, Webster...

Pierce has the physical presence of Longer - was instrumental in many of the clearances-either a tap or when he lost the tap or in dispute his moving opponents off the ball. Not as effective around the ground as the previous week but he has good hands. I suspect he has more upside than Longer as bot...

What a genius- never see them play, delegate the task to another, build the frustration, leave till the last minute -- and what do you have?
The guy who should have been rucking all year!!!!!

Ross as the selfish turnover king buggers belief My belief was buggered half Way through the season! And now we are in such a parlous state that we will go begging to every half decent free agent. Ross, which if you review my posts, I have compared to Clint Jones, was clearly our best outside mid. ...

We are in a bind- we need something for us to look forward to following the disappointment of the current year. If I was a Brisbane supporter I would be thinking- there is something to get excited about, our young guys are showing something and the coach is up and about! As Saints fans we have a mon...

BIllings: encouraging to see him scrapping, at the bottom of packs, flying in from the side to take a grab! NOt his best game, but maybe, just maybe the sign of things to come. kicking for goal still a work in progress.

McCartin gets a leave pass!
