I'd say Billings, Long, and Lonie also have 'X-factor' capabilities Billings X factor - hahahahahahahahahaha gold! Another negative Nelly it would seem... Check out JB's highlights for this year. Once the team collectively pull their finger out then I'd expect this to be more in line of what to exp...

I'd say Billings, Long, and Lonie also have 'X-factor' capabilities Long maybe but billings and Lonie. Come on, really Righto. Lonie kicked 11 in his last 5 games where Champion Data rated him as elite for score assists and above average for kicking efficiency and forward half pressure. Have a look...

dunno. i think we're all a bit too blinded by love for the g-train and tiprat. on the roar: "St Kilda Football Club presents: the most cringeworthy membership video ever Even the G-Train couldn’t save it." still, if it works for saints supporters, then it works. The Roar is salty garbage....

What about number 10? I reckon it would suit Coffield

I dont think so. Newnes is at his best when playing off the back flank/BP not on the wing or half forward where he was positioned for most of the year due to the arrival of Jimmy and games into the likes of Rice, Hunter, Coffield, D-Mac etc. I would like to see Geary moved up the ground (considering...

Would basically be a premiership version of Hickey who can actually play forward. Roughead > Hickey Really have to ask how much you've watched Roughead? If we are looking for a replacement of Hickey then we are looking for a #1 ruckmen, Roughead manages 12 hitouts per match and has kicked 34 goals ...

Since Roughead seems to be popping up as someone we might go for to replace HIckey I thought I would do a comparison to Roughead and the results are that they had eerily similar 2018's. The only big disparity is the hit-outs (24.2 to 12.2 in favour of Hickey) but one could argue that Roughead was mo...

I'd be willing to give him a go. Nil risk and potentially huge reward. Only concern I'd really have would be the potential for him to be a negative influence on the younger mob. That said, he get's himself right - huge tick plus it would improve the external perception of our culture 10-folds. If he...

Pierce and Marshall will need to be added to the senior list. Marshall is already on the senior list, but you're right about Pierce. They are both rookies -Marshall hasn’t been upgraded yet. Marshall signed a two year deal in April http://www.saints.com.au/news/2018-04-11/marshall-matters

Win the flag?

That would be lovely. Who's going to help capture it?

Sign him up long term and front load the hell out of it.

Will be an A grader mid soon enough, absolute jet.

James Gallagher said that was one of the priorities and an offer has been put forward however Gresh wants to wait until next year apparently.

Ah well, we didn't get Shiel after a pretty red-hot crack so can't blame the club's effort for trying. The upside is that there is still a week to go before the trade period winds up. Outside of Kent and Hannaz (neither of which will cost us much in terms of picks), I'm interested to know what's pot...

Shiel and Hannerbury is a disaster in the making for many many reasons. Stupid money and paying way too much in draft picks for starters. Three days ago pick four was off the table straight out of Leathlean's mouth, then three days later he says all assets are on the table! What a joke! Hoping Shie...

Using McKenzie and Geary out of half back caused too many turnovers. I’m going with good field kicking ball users in Sinclair and Billings with Webster and Roberton. All back 6 now use the ball reasonably well. I hate to burst your bubble but D-Mac actually ranked FIRST in the competition for effec...

Disagree. The club is having a go. What else can you ask for? Riewoldt has met Shiel to try entice him over. Ratten and Lade in. O'shaughnessy from Hawks. Hannerbrey and Kent in. Possibly more. If we don't get Shiel or Wingard then we go to the draft and get a very good kid like Coff and Hunter las...

Not that this means much obviously but I saw somewhere that Jack Steven was spotted in Sydney meeting with the Swans management... Anyone able to shed some light on this one?

So the rumours of Richo being sacked have certainly subsided in the last couple of weeks. Seems like most (even the naysayers) are almost begrudgingly willing to accept he'll remain at the helm next year. Has there been a coach to have such a poor record and still manage to keep his job in AFL/VFL ...

Just before they announced the top 3, Richo and Trevor Barker's mum went up to the stage where Richo appeared to pull Monty up and there was an exchange of words where Monty looked pretty uncomfortable. Did anyone else notice this? I'd be interested to know what that was all about...

I saw this and I'm now convinced that he's going to add plenty of value to our group and also hopefully serve as a great ambassador in getting other quality players across to Moorabbin.

At least we don't have to go to Adelaide. I'm all about it if we get some $$ and corporate exposure as the article suggests. We would get a replacement 'home match' for our memberships and at the end of the day, China wouldn't be at the top of my list of places to visit but if the Saints were playin...

At the start of the year I asked Gawny who he'd prefer to play against (Hickey or Longer) and his response was 'Pierce'. Gawn said that both of them have given him grief in the past and with both ruckman carrying injuries into and throughout the year (they were both cooked in the end) then I would b...
