The man is on fire.

Sure but that doesn't make them right in that assessment.

I'm staggered by the disrespect for Dunstan in this thread. It was Lenny Hayes remember who handed over his jumper to this man. It wasn't an accident. He played his heart out for us season after season and for a long time I thought he'd be our next skipper and certainly felt he was the ONLY player ...

Maybe we could trade Wilkie for it?

Trying to work out which response is the best. I think this might be our winner.

Wtf would they trade that???


Imagine if they took an overweight 193cm one position diabetic instead?!

Brutal. True. But brutal. And it made me laugh. Ashamed to say.

He’s a back up ruck with good VFL stats and poor AFL stats Doesn’t play well up forward he’s pure ruck and that’s ok as long as he cheap and does his job then all good He’s not Gawn No one is saying he is Gawn. Don't know where you got that from. He's a 22 year old kid who's played a handful of sen...

His nickname is X. Here's an interview he did:

Xerri has requested a trade to St Kilda: https://www.afl.com.au/news/683092/roos-tigers-consider-players-in-swap-dawson-deal-gets-really-complicated Bye bye Hunter, thanks for stepping up at short notice in 2021.

Each NGA player will cost St Kilda 197 points If we have to match prior to pick 41. From the trading done it looks like they're expecting our NGAs to go after 41 so they're only costing us next single pick rather than 2 picks combined, but the points of those combined are still enough should one of...

We might not be done on the pick swap front. There are reports we are negotiating with Brisbane for their first two picks in exchange for our pick 9 and Josh Battle. I have no idea if any of this true. I guess this might help if one of our academy guys creeps into the top 20 or into a position where...

The Saints are participants in a big four club trade of picks.

We give away 49 and receive 62,66 and a future Adelaide fourth rounder.

Is this a way to bank points for our academy selections?

from an unreliable source.....Josh Battle to Brisbane for their 1st round pick. anybody else heard this? I think it is more complicated and involved than you described. I believe it involves Battle and our first round pick in exchange for two picks from them. Brisbane holds 14,18 and 47. So we give...

If they get Cerra, Hewett and Lewis this year - there needs to be an inquest. Carltons list is as good as ours (at least) as it stands without factoring in those inclusions. I hope we are still in the window for Ladhams. He is 23 and looks very promising. I think you will find he is Sydney bound.

Getting multiple BOG's when only playing half a season is pretty good for such a 'limited' player... :roll: And yet the club still doesn't want him. Or other clubs for that matter. His FA value is like his football, extremely limited. Due to a personality clash with the coach it would seem. On fiel...

Not sure there is.

If won’t draft picks we need to offer a player the other clubs won’t. I think Wilkie is a great player but I don’t see him getting any better.We have a number of players who play his position Battle,highmore,coffield with coffield I see a lot of improvement with him especially now we have a new dev...

Seriously I cannot believe we would be interested in Naish When the Tigers could barely field a mid field through all the injuries he could still hardly get a game. We don’t need another smallish lightly built player, did anyone from our club watch the grand final. It is all about big explosive pla...

Why do you think he is soft? He is 183cm is that small?? Outside runner Tigers mates don’t rate at all Why do you think he’s not? If you can’t win your own ball and run in AFL nowadays you rarely get a look in See how good Hill was on a wing when no one fed him Sorry. Don't agree with any of this. ...

Josh Sinn being listed as a HB/mid concerns me Rather an out and out mid with some speed If we take him it will be because of his midfield attributes. He uses his speed to break the lines Funny, I see his defensive skills as a positive. The most valuable AFL players are the ones who can defend equa...

Zac Taylor Marcus Windhager Campbell Chesser Sam Butler Josh Goater Matthew Roberts Tyler Sonsie Josh Sinn Nasiah Wanganeen Milera Matthew Johnson Arlo Draper Neil Erasmus Josh Ward Hopefully we get two from that list Ideally, we would be looking to draft three kids. Windhager and Owens are Academy...

We need draft picks to cash in to get our two very promising NGA’s so I would definitely look to trade Long. I reckon you are spot in. It's a shame. Ben Long has shown quite a bit at times but lack of consistency and some ill discipline stopped him being a regular. I was hoping he would bring the k...

That <expletive> that drafted McCartin should be in jail. What a fkn disgrace. You have every right to feel what you are feeling. Rest assured you are not alone. However, what's past is past. There is nothing any of us can do. We must look to the future. And while it is not perfect neither is it do...

Well called

Get a grip. If this keeps you up at night, you are a lucky person. In hindsight I might have been gilding the lily but also in hindsight I was on the money. Pointless I know but glad I was on the right side of history but sad for our footy club that we allowed such a fantastic opportunity pass us by.
