Wanted to post some of the dribble that was posted over the past week or two regarding Billings: Ps where are all of the recruiting sceptics that always bag Pelchen and Bains when a player doesnt turn out to be a star in thier first few games? Billings, Acres, Dunstan, Longer, Delaney, Weller - all...

The thing that disappointed me was that he dished off to Shenton and then got in a fight with a defender which left him with no options and he was caught holding the ball. Not looking after his teammate!!!

AS much as it most likely wouldn't happen, I would not be disappointed if Riewoldt played a high half forward/wing, working from 50 to 50, and have 1 or 2 of either Stanley/Siposs/Lee/Maister playing in the forward 50 demanding the football. Riewoldt is such an imposing figure down there, he basica...

Ok, here goes. I was lying awake last night an came up with this gem..... Out: Riewoldt Now, for those who are still with me, let me explain.... Firstly it gives Nick a week to rest. Not that he particularly needs it, but "managing" older players is perfectly legitimate at this time of ye...

Out: Delaney, Weller, Jones, Stanley In: Simpkin, Armo, Webster, Lee They have a really flexible forward line so need big plus Webster. When do the coaches start to say "lets rotate the youngsters through and see what they can do?" Stanley has had a fair run, Syposs is having a crack now (...

What about the two recent rookie pick ups. I can see a long term future for Weller and Eli! While not necessarily in the elite level, both could be strong contributors for the next 10 years!

I live in Hobart and the brisk mornings enable me to wear my Great Saints jumper to work - which I am wearing right now. I will be going to the game. A great chance to see the lads as well as give a cheer to Dally. We always knew there would be some dark days (just think back to our practice matches...

Weller must be an in now that Wright is on the long term injury list. They might also rest Eli to give Savage a shot.

Sounds like Fisher was well off pace last week to be considered a start for Wellington.

Our focus now turns to the underage lads to see who we will pick as number one next year. Don't we get a bonus end of round 1 pick if we get completely flogged all year?
We always new this was likely given the drafting direction.

Pull out the war chest and Get Nat Fyfe to the Saints. I would even throw in the future captaincy.

Cheers.

As a saints support way down in the south of the Apple Isle, I am keen to hear how the lads are going? Who is up and firing? Who has build up the body? Who is looking quick? Is Mav Weller still firing or has he slowed down now he is on a list? Is Markworth looking a chance? Who do you think will be ...

Markworth.

Well it looks like draft pick 1 is a lock for the saints for next year if you go by the ranking points shown in the AFL round one sides.

Maybe we are also in line for a prority pick?

i have always rated ian stewart and the doc as our two greatest players.....but with time you get to appreciate others....plugger for instance.. roo has taken out our best and fairest 5 times now and is still going stronf...to me he is our greatest ever player..... ...my rankings now are 1. roo 2. ...

2001 Ball (2) Clarke (5) and Dal Santo (13). Also Maguire at 21 and Joey at 37

Oh oh sometimes I get a good feeling!

Great first interview. Look an honest genuine clued up coach. Just what the saints need!
A three year contract followed by many more!

At first I thought,... Choco NO!!!!! ... Now what other experienced coaches are there? I think Williams ticks more boxes than all other available ex-senior coaches. He has already taken an under-performing team to GF's and a premiership. He deserves to be the favourite. Someone else would have to b...

My last comment was largely said in jest. As someone who has followed the saints since 1979, you just have to roll with the punches. If you start stressing too much about the next year then you wouldn't last very long. As the big Net said to the press there are many things moving in the right direct...

You have forgotten to include the No1 picks for 2014 and 2015!

With the big influx over the trade period, the Saints are going to have to drop one more from the list :cry: Who will it be? Saad has the possible suspension hanging. Otherwise Maister looks to be falling behind many other talls in the squad. Other vulnerables include, TDL and Dunell Who do you thin...

No place for short people I like all these players. Maybe wright or Saunders in
