Re: What do we do with picks 7 & 8. Nearest the pin.

Stephenson is quick and agile, DJH. Dare I say it, a little "Bont -like". Has the ability to make things happen. He's be a good outside runner who can finish well. Think Will Hoskin Elliott, who would've been a very handy pick up for us, had the filth not courted him so strongly. I'd be v...

Re: What do we do with picks 7 & 8. Nearest the pin.

Very amusing OP. I feel we need 2 established and talented players on our list next year. Kelly and Whitfield or Rockliffe. We can get through next season with Brown at FB. If we go to the draft with our 2 picks in the top 10 we will pick, Jarrod Brander and Jaiden Stephenson. Thats my nearest to t...

Richo does some odd things at times including team selection. Shine off the apple with him at present but a good start to next year will make me eat my words

Re: Is Kelly Worth Our Two Picks

not at all, one and a sweetener (e.g. Webster) but not two and maybe get a later round pick back . GWS will want something big to go with our pick so be real they wont take a fringe player. We need two players this draft, an outside mid and a key defender. If Carlisle or Brown goes down/suspended th...

Re: Jackson Trengove

Brown has filled his role adequately and has at least another year in him so not passed his used by date at all. Goddard has not shown anything worth cheering about yet so I am thinking he is at least a year away so I would draft another defender with one of our draft picks and an outside mid with t...

Re: Team for Round 23 V Tigers

Lonie???? WTF How many times this year. The kid can't tackle at all. He is too light and his attack isn't great either. Granted he is to good for VFL but he is not good enough for afl yet. Big off season with some bulk on him then sure, but this game it is a waste for another player

Re: Successful Season?

We have gone backwards this year. Skills are shocking. Very disappointing season. Could not agree more. Our hand balling is overused, sloppy and usually to where a players is, not where he is running to so the play slows down or to a player about to get tackled or to a guy one meter next to him who...

Re: Who Do You Want

Get a defender like Jarrod Brander or Aaron Naughton and outside mid like Lachie O'Brien or Nick Coffield. If we lose either brown or Carlisle we are in trouble. Gilbo is getting on a bit and injury prone of recent, Hugh Goodard is not good (yet). He is slow and has a turning circle of a bus so who ...

Re: Hypothetical trades

I doubt we will get Kelly or Martin. Both will most likely stay just like Fyfe. I would like to get either but realistically it wont happen so lets get behind our draft team and hope we pick wisely. I would use both picks in the draft and get a defender like Jarrod Brander or Aaron Naughton and outs...

Re: 35 is the new 26

He has looked classed from his first appearance in the 2015 pre-season. Certainly a bonus we picked up from drafting Billings who I believe recommended him to the club. He should have played every game this year when several others of lesser talent were being selected. We might even be in the top e...

Re: Saints look to lock in Paddy

DJ, have you watched Paddy play footy? He has shown plenty. Not sure who we could get as good as him for the price we are hopefully paying. His problem isn't ability, it is him staying on the park. Hopefully this indicates the medicos think he is fine and he can get a good run of games going. He wi...

I am not overly happy with this. Too early to make this call. Our skills are sub par, we don't have a plan b regarding our game plan, our kicking at goal in one of the worst in the league, many players seem to have gone backwards and I could go on. Wait until mid next year as it will give him one mo...

Re: We enter 2018 without one champion player.

Never thought about it like this before. But interestingly, our only current player who really looks like a potential 'champion' is Paddy. If only we could get him on the park! I am still unsure why people rate Paddy so highly? Forget his draft pick number as that is meaningless now. What has he do...

we kicked 2.12 at one stage. Terrible kicking, inaccuracy, poor decisions and the lack of a genuine goal sneak cost us the game. Billy cost us a goal.

cant kick to save ourselves in front of goal. SHould have won this game and easily. Carlisle is amazing and keep us in the game so some positives but so sick of our accuracy. It is just depressing to watch. 2.12 again.

Lets give credit to the Swans first, they are the form team at the moment and they were slick thru the midfield and moved the ball with such ease it was great to watch from a footy fan point of view. Our problems seem to be kicking the ball near the target not to the target. How many times did you n...
