You're right. Plugger only needed sky balls and he would get to them.
Ima thinking extractors as that's what we don't have, plus a great athletic tap ruckman that goes forward is something we haven't had for a while

I was thinking based on biggest needs right now. I.e. no midfield, rather than just the best 4 players.
Plugged might struggle with the delivery atm

I was thinking a ruck/fwd rather than pure fwd.

If you could draft any four ex saints from the last 30 years into today's team, based on need, who would they be? Im going with Lenny, harvey, everitt and early luke Ball.
All mids! I resisted the temptation to add my all time favourite.

Really interesting take from Joey on First Crack Reckons ball transition isn’t our main issue Suggests the issue is we lack players with the ability in congestion, contested situations to take the ball from inside to outside aka why we rushed Dow in Showed the vision where we win ball and are quick...

My thoughts are not a Kingy bashy sooky point of view. I really like Max. I reckon he is incredible. We desperately need him. What shitz me is that he HAS the ability, skills and talent. We have watched him play brilliantly. The excuses need to be weighed and given some merit...e.g. ball movement f...

Seconds after Saints fans experienced a brief moment of satisfaction when Marshall's Herculean effort to touch the ball as it crossed the goal line was rewarded with a cancelled goal, Bonner took the kickout and Hill failed to mark, resulting in an easy Freo goal. I've said previously that both Bon...

Confidence in his body is shot. Added to feeling the weight of expectation

Ive refrained from calling Max a bust...however his gutless, passionless effort tonight was insipid. But who cares? We cant drop him! We'd never survive without his 3 marks & 1 behind. Harsh. He moved much better, saw some green shoots. Honestly, no one could play forward with the way the ball ...

I literally have no respect for his intent or his intelligence. This will be his final year in St Kilda colours. No tears from me. Wow. You are the type of Saint Kilda supporter I’d rather disassociate myself with. Jimmy has been a stalwart ..fair and selfless..an honest slogger and to have a suppo...

The difference will be our pressure. Last game we brought the heat, they over handballed or long bombed a kick and we got the turnover. Members back is massive for our structure, also chito was killing it before getting subbed out . We should expect to win but if we allow them to execute their skill...

God bless you Ray!

Saints by a couple. Lyon is a meticulous preparer. Ad. A bit of GWS Intel from Lenny, Enright finals experience, I reckon we will be very well prepared. Brad Hill is built for this and I have a feeling a couple of kids will announce themselves. We turned the corner a few weeks back so think we will ...

According to an article in the Roar, if all teams played each other just the once ( as they should for fairness), we would have finished 5th. Carlton would have been 9th.

Paddy is a human being trying to do what he wants to do in life. Everyone knows his journey so if sympathy and perhaps general concern about his welfare isn't your go, then I'm sure basic respect as a middle-ground sentiment shouldn't be that hard to reach... It's not so much about respect but for ...

Bassat needs to get creative. Highly paid consulting roles at SEEK for Brook and Marni.
I feel like that's what the others do , so let's get serious.

Very sad. Feels like watching a train wreck in progress. I can't understand anyone close to paddy that would encourage him to go on. Wtf is Garry Lyon thinking? What's Garry Lyon got to do with it? Fox footy- Lyon suggesting we shouldn't be so quick to retire Paddy because of the latest head knock....

Bing needs to leave GC his development is stifled there I would like to get him to make our team better with our coaches he would flourish, and if one goes down we have the other. Never knock back a quality player if you can get him especially a KPP we can always get mids not always get bigs who ca...

Think this may maybe our year to trade someone of value to get something of value. Not sure who but we have a glut of half backs so perhaps a Coff, or JB. Trouble is boths value would be low ATM. Saints are in the market for a ruckman, so that suggests Campbell and Hayes have a question mark on them...

In the first QTR, I was impressed with their leg speed. Made me think RTB, might roll the dice with Peris next week. Peris is way off the pace. Looks average at VFL level. I agree 100%. But RTB has talked him up a few times now and given his limitations I, wondered why. So my conspiracy theory is h...

Assuming Bytel is fit, it would be a concern for his career if he isn't seen as a logical replacement for Steele as an inside mid.
Would like to see if he can make the grade.
