Re: 2014 List Management - Draft & Trade Discussion
Are any GWS players starting to make a impact that we've mentioned or are we just suggesting to throw our high draft pick/s away due them being high draft picks a couple of years ago? We tried very hard to get Dylan Shiel last year. He is very highly regarded at our Club. I am sure we will have ano...

Re: 2014 List Management - Draft & Trade Discussion
Great Post. 1. Get Hugh Goddard with pick 1. Hes huge strong, 195cm (and possibly still growing) Go to AFL.com.au listen to him talk. Hes already a man with huge balls and could captain an AFL team. Get him, he will captain our next flag. 2. Key Defender or Power Forward with Pick 19. Lever or wrig...

Re: 2014 List Management - Draft & Trade Discussion
Wright is the favourite for top pick and odds on to end up at the Lions. He could end up ruck/forward although at the moment he's playing more forward/ruck. A bit of a worry is he's already having reacurring back related injuries at a young age. Common for big kids not yet grown into his body. Buye...

Re: Thought the night reflected poorly on the coaching
We had a real crack after quarter time which was great to see. I am over Stanley's bruise free style of footy. Whilst others around him are hard at it he has little physical impact on the game and defensive efforts are poor.

Re: Siposs - Any chance he's going to make it?
Siposs has played the same way since he was a junior. He was a late pick, it was a punt and it hasn't worked out.

Re: Beau Maister
Fair at best today but played his role and makes life a hell of a lot easier for our mid/small forwards. Before anyone starts suggesting Tom Lee you need to get a kick in the VFL first. Lee is just not physical enough and at least Maister hits the contest hard.

Re: Jack Billings...An Interesting Selection
Billings is not ready. Just because he was selection 3 does not mean we should play him. He is lacking confidence and there is no point rushing him. We need to remember that the advantage with Dusntan, Templetion etc is that they have played senior footy against men which is a big advantage. Billing...

Saunders
Many on here have to fall on their sword. Last year his defensive efforts were fantastic and you could see that he was going to be a very good player. I had to laugh at some of the comments made on him last year on this site. He wins his own ball, is an elitre runner and as a kid was a fantastic fin...

Re: saints v gws
Longer is a huge talent and could be the best ruckman we have had for a long time. Dunstan was always going to be the pick of midfield draft choices as he goes very hard and is a natural midfielder. At the champs he was far superior to those mids/smalls who went before him including our own earlier ...

Re: Lewis Taylor
Lewis Taylor at 18 would be unbelievable for us as he is the second best footballer in the draft. I think the recruiters are too smart for this to happen as his size surely can't see him drop down to 18. Those that compare Hartung to him can't have seen either play.

Even though I disagree we have landed on Billings. At least he is a beautiful kick and if he gets it will use it well.

Re: Garlett?
There are no elite mids in this years draft and although there is a bit of depth Garlett is a top 3 pick on ability. He will go top 15 as recruiters well aware of the risk/reward. Remember he has proven himself at a senior level which is a big plus. My feeling is that he will be the best player out ...

Re: Scott Watters sacked: Official SS reaction thread
Watters was an arrogant little man who treated the senior leadership group/fellow leaders at the Club with contempt. No one in any organisation survives with such an approach. His inexperience as a leader was visible to all. I congratulate the Board for making this tough decision. Bring on an experi...

Re: De Listings Today
Supposedly we can have over the required amount until draft, then we must make changes....I think? So if we do get lucky and Boyd slips to our first pick, then we are able to de-list Riewoldt as he'll be surplus? In all seriousness, if we get Billings who i touted as a high half forward/future mid,...

Re: Sax's 2013 Phantom Draft (Top 20)
Lewis Taylor will be one of the very best from the draft and he's tiny. His size will scare a few clubs off so he should drop just outside the top 10. He would be right in the Josh Kelly and James Aish conversation if he were 10cms taller. With the exception of Matt Crouch, nobody got more of the f...
