Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

There is some discussion Carlisle wants a big 4 Melb club and is waiting on Carlton to see if they will offer a 5yr deal.
Low probability he will be a Saint.

Re: Nathan Freeman's Hamstrings

First St. Kilda's 1st & 2nd picks in the Nat. draft should be kept I believe unless an outstanding deal is being offered & then I would only be comfortable with the involvement in the 2nd pick. Nathan F. is not an outstanding deal ingredient I believe simply because of his troublesome hamst...

Nothing to suggest he won't return to full fitness. Do u think we'll get Carlisle? If he chooses us then yes. So.... Do u think he will ch...

Re: Nathan Freeman

Its the PreSeason Draft not the National Draft. Different. Much different. In the draft there is other young talent that would be picked first...as with Ball. In the PSD you would imagine that teams below us would all be keen. So trick will be trying to have a contract that they do not have room fo...

Its Jaeger O'Meara ladies and gents.
By God I hope his knees are OK - from those who know far more than me say the patella tendon issues like he's had usually mean "game over".

BTW - Thanks Jaxons - alway appreciate your efforts.

Pity cos he is a loyal supporter but I have read many BF posters say they left the SS forum coz of the off-topic petty personalised squabbling and even there P66 is notorious even though not a BF poster. Leads me to the conclusion that in aggregate he did damage. Hopefully he rejoins with a differen...

Re: Why Paddy_ Emma Quayle Book- exerpt

Expecting anything from an 18-19y.o KPP in his first year regardless of whether he was pick 1 or not is totally unrealistic. As sure as night comes day, unrealistic expectation turns to failure - no surprises there. The kid will be fine, he has shown true glimpses of quality which indicate its there...

Re: Matt Crouch

The common view is that his kicking skills are highly questionable which is not what we need.
Gets plenty of the footy, genuine inside mid but we have plenty of the same sort.
May be wrong but seems surplus to requirements.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

I don't think there is any chance we will be drafting a 30yr old delisted player. Shenton is contracted and we need the list space for a youngster if Ray finds another club who will give him two years.

Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

Richo gave us the equation in his B&F speech. To play finals we need to stop 12 points against and kick 7 points more on average. To win a flag we need to kick 100 points and restrict the oppoisition to 60 points. This is very much a "Moneyball" view of the world and within reason I su...

Re: Trade Rumours

A bloke on Big Footy who claims to have inside knowledge said trade would involve a popular player and fans won't be happy. With that in mind, and with the presumption that it would have to be a decent player, posters started throwing names about. Newnes was one suggestion and it's grown from that....

Re: Trade Rumours

I'm missing something with Newnes I think? I see he gets a bit of ball these days, but does he impact games? Given how they vote for the B&F, I don't think his coaches think he does much either. He is the sort of guy who may bite us on the butt if we traded him, or he could be like Ben, where h...

Re: Send the umpires to Disneyland

I have never complained about umpires on here before but that was so totally, balatantly bias to one side. And I thought it was just me being one-eyed until I saw the total stats for the game.
Utterly disgraceful. WTF???
