Agreed. So much to like. His willingness in the contest, to win his own ball is awesome. Big kudos to the recruitment team.

Smooth operator - very Pendles like. Is going to be a cracker.
Needs more game time.
Needs to start next week.

What I found amusing was in congestion, the play was allowed to continue until a free was found for the Eagles. Any potential free that was there for us was overlooked. I had hawks supporters behind me bewildered at the free Shenton gave away with the front on no contact only spoil free just outsid...

Saw a lot of it today but his disposal efficiency at half time was 45.5% and finished with 64%. He butchered it early when the heat was on which seems to be a theme. I still think we need him in the side, net-net we are better off with him, but provides more than his fair share of frustrating moment...

Can someone explain to me again why we hired a former Carlton 'scout' ? They have 17 first round draft picks on their list. Noone in anyway involved with their recruiting system should be employed anywhere ever again. Not even in the western border football league. I mean this guy is clearly no roc...

Has anyone heard how Lachie Weller is doing at Freo?
From media reports he looks up to his big brother and dreams of lining up next to him one day.
This might be an early call but I have a sneaking suspicion we might see him in Saints colours one day.

OMG we have a hobbit in the midfield!

If the future is Lee & Goddard down back at some point you have to expose them given they are playing good footy at Sandy. Sounds like I am banging on here but it seems like they are not honouring the stated process. If the mantra is "You've got to be paying good footy and wait for the oppo...

The short term solution is give Lee a chance. Lee may be an option but I am not sure this is the best game to try him as a defender in the seniors. He would be 2 cm shorter and 10 kg lighter tnan Josh Kennedy who is the most imposing forward in the league. Yes but Lee is 3cm taller and 4kg heavier ...

Yeah with two talls out it sure is surprising that at least one tall was not brought into the 22 or at least made an emergency. It either says it is going to bucket down with rain under a closed roof at Etihad or the match committee is not too impressed by any of our talls going round in the reserv...

Excellent news al...

If we do have a pokies room, I'd expect to see a coin distribution machine with a cartoon Matt Finnis on the side and a big sign saying CHAMPION OF CHANGE. http://www.saints.com.au/news/2015-05-20/finnis-to-champion-change honk! (Good on the bloke by the way, think his initiatives in the area of eq...

Out: Roo, Lonie, Sinks, Shenton In: Membrey, Acres, Minch & Curren Can't get a sense if Joey will play. Shenton didn't lay 1 tackle which is bad enough but for a guy who plays defensive roles this shows a total lack of intent. I actually thought he used the ball a little better but how much pres...

Obviously there is a tendency, after Browny's situation, for the wider football public to try and persuade him to give it away because they care for his welfare and the issue of potential long term damage is a real one. But as posters here have pointed out they are quite different. In the aggregate ...

That is pretty much my assessment of his situation.

I used to think we could really use the pokie money... You know what? Screw that. We're a football club. A sporting club. A club. For the benefit of the community, not to extract money from it. Bottom line is this: clubs shouldn't really exist to turn profits. They should exist to service their mem...

I applaud North for going 'pokie free' I agree J.M. I am also opposed to the production of nicotine/ chemical death sticks that are ok- ed for the retail shelves. Amazing that they are still sucked up by so many in Vic. We seem a bit in denial here but looking forward to them being outlawed at cafe...

You are making a bad argument and that is a poor reason not to do the right thing. It's not even a reason; it's just a cop out. The 'right thing' is a subjective idea. 15 people a day die from alcohol related diseases in Australia. Should people not be allowed to drink because of the ones who die a...

You're right Casino's aren't as depressing as Pokie venues. But each to their own. Clearly I am the only one that actively avoids going to Pubs RSL's or any other venue that has Pokies. No doubt you are right and I should go back to my hippie commune plant some quinoa and get over myself. I just th...

So how much do we make from Pokies if the social club revenue is $2 Million how much profit are we making on that revenue. Ultimately this is a side buisness it adds nothing to the club apart from the cash it contributes to the bottom line, and arguably tarnishes the brand. I would have to agree wi...

McKenzie??? He was awesome and just finding his feet. Ffs. Anyway INS Geary Montagna Minchington, Acres OUTS: Whichever youngster needs a rest, Sinclair (does he have to go out??) Reiwoldt, Lonie (precautionary) Would love to see Minchy get a run, might be a more natural replacement for Lonie if th...

Do you think that Dunstan has put two and two together and deduced that he may be part of a trade for Sloane? If so he may have lost interest? Is that anything more than speculation? They couldn't possibly trade Dunstan for Sloane could they? That would prove to me they have lost their way on build...

Best guessimate - no doubt totally different but here goes.

Out: Reiwoldt (concussion), Lonie (concussion), Shenton (omit) & Sinclair (demoted)
In: Membrey, Acres, Greary & Montagna, possible Curren (emerg)

Would love to know exactly how much they're making out of the machines. If we accept that we are not going to grow that revenue stream (or maybe slightly at the margin) then the PR win alone with the local community and members from getting rid of them could end being worth a multiple in value to t...

Might be time to rotate Acres with Dunstan. Yes, worth a thought Acres doesn't play inside mid role. Maybe Curren or Minchy. Maybe we need some outside class instead,. Also, just because he doesn't play that role doesn't mean that he can't. Not saying can't, he may develop that side of his game but...
