In my constant hungover state I have been watching a fair few games from 2003-2006 when our forward line functioned very well. The main thing that stood out for me was seeing Riewoldt constantly taking grabs between the 50-70 range and the space provided for a tall and a small to run into and be hi...

the reason people back saad over milera aside from mileras moon boot is 1. milera is skinny and would get eating by a big backman eg; harry o'brien, tarrent 2. saad dominated the combine, so many of us wanted him before the trade occured, with us having to research milera after the trade

i dont know if Gardi is really the right man for the job, heard he has been getting very very loose since retirement. Not really sure on how tactical he is as a ruckman though

Guys the selection isnt everything. You can select the most skilled candidates but unless they have the right mindset they will never be anything more than a really good TAC player The mental constraints of AFL are extreme and most people cannot handle the demands We have picked two players who have...

Chad Sandilands, i cant believe there is such little buzz about him. He's SANDILANDS. Yeh atm hes is only 204cms :shock: and skinny, but he is Aarons brother and is still growing. Aaron was also a bit of a project, but he is arguably the best ruckman in the league. I cant see why we wouldn't try to ...

TROLLLLLL!!!!

Does anyone else get really exited now when we sign new coaches, last year when Lyon introduced Berbakov and Kingsley i was like "ok..". Waters however is finding exiting people who are loved and/or extremley experienced. LOVE THAT SH&T!

JOSH low is another strength and conditoning coach guys, and maxi and hamil will have more mentor type roles as assistants to the line coaches

Saad was rated quite highly kicking 60 goals for the bullants, he became more known when following his impressive time in the repeated sprints coming first and then finished highly in the other sprints. He was tipped to go first or second round. Milera was a bit of anmore unknown, he is also quite s...

Don't worry, Lyon will turn him into a hbf ... if he plays Jackson at all. Leopards can't change their spots. Polo was able to change his http://oneeyed-richmond.com/images/richmond/polohair.jpg :lol: Yeah, but that's a tiger not a leopard :P Gets confusing, doesn't it. A leopard named lion. Not ri...

Looks like a gun. We would be very lucky to get him, and would be exactly what we need. Big bodied foreword who's tough as nails, would love to see him play 3rd tall like Jack Darling

i've been an advocate for picking up fev on a one strike policy, but now im starting to change sides yeh he was an amazing player, but the guy is an idiot. Any one else notice how nice it has been to read about the new saints. Our afl page is packed with articles about how much we are helping the co...

Manson isn't the same type as saad or milera. Manson is a kpf like lance franklin. Milera is more of a med/tall half foreword, winger and saad is a small foreword midfielder. I would loooooove to get manson as he looks exiting and if developed right could be a franklin. My gut feeling is the club wo...

If not then Harves is my guess.

Banger is signed and has been working with the filth since the before the start of pre-season.

ide put money on maxy

He's not going anywhere, he won't bother with any other club after making arrangements with st kilda. It would be a waste for any other club to try and take him as they will waste a pick on him and also receive poor media attention. It is not in other clubs interest to take a player from us in order...

did anyone else become a member of truesainters due to this downtime?

he's saying the club or afl.com have not announced anything. What he is overlooking is that the club will not announce anything until all agreements are finalised

i love Roo and he is a brilliant captain, but BJ is a born winner and i think having him as might help push us towards a more winning culture that doesn't let up, something that i feel we have lacked at stages. BJ doesn't let up and cries when he looses, we need to instil this type of culture into o...

injury free? riewoldt, our captain, tore his hamstring off the bone, he barely made it back right for finals.

he was diagnosed with diabetes and injured for the second half of the year, and is a small boy. its took riewoldt more than a year give the kid a break

Best compromise is to split into two pools and ditch the pre-season comp as every team will, effectively, play three full pre-season games now anyway.

The “Southern Poolâ€
