Well, there's been some talk that we might rookie him. (Though no confirmation is possible till Parkey hears that whisper. :wink: )

Goes alright at Sandy though.

Re: Paddy “Spud” McCartin contracted until end of 2020

... Why would they give a contracted player the arse? For me Rodge', a first round pick in exchange (whilst/ if we still can) would be a reason. ( The reason actually.) But if he's performing well enough to be worth a first round pick for someone - why would we get rid of him? Cutting our losses (u...

Re: This post on St K's drafting/list is so goddamn on the money ...

I've noticed we generally get hold of the footy more than the enemy. What though, are our stats' for metres gained ? I reckon they'd show that our possession numbers and 'disposal efficiency' are falsely boosted due to going backwards and sideways. The why-we-get-beaten kick for us has long been th...

Re: Ratten joins Saints

D-L, my thoughts re Alfred E Neuman as a coach and your writing, are the same re Choco Williams as a coach. Again, I hope to be proven wrong.

Re: This post on St K's drafting/list is so goddamn on the money ...

Utterly disagree with this. None of these players had elite skills to begin with, and it would be false to claim that they did. Also, players don't just lose the ability to kick due to a coach... that's garbage. I've played footy my whole life... and there are some with 'natural' prowess, regardles...

Collingwood with all their money and medical expertise came to the conclusion that his hamstrings were shot. Given they invested a first round pick on him it would not have been an easy decision.

I agree re all those assessments Skep', with two exceptions... - Battle for Lonie.
