Re: Robbo signs on for another 4 years!

F*** you, Hawthorn! Great news. Ne would've been a massive loss. And what of the strange one, Ricky Nixon? Must have been talking crap.

Re: Hayes & Kelly

The longer he doesn't sign with GWS, the better for us. What happened to the rumour that Pickering had announced his re-signing with GWS for two years?

Re: Jimmy Bartel's take on the Saints' 2017 season

Well.... he's a hell of a lot more positive than all our doomsday posters... methinks he also may know a little bit more about AFL than some of our " experts " on here ...I'd say he's got it about right, we did better in a more difficult year, I expect when the majority of our group hit t...

Let's hope the club can satisfy Robbo. It's typical of bloody Hawthorn. They won't be down for long.

Re: We Need a Gun Up Forward

And we finished 11 th. Thrashed by the very same Essendon. The statement that we will finish above them next year is based purely on hope, rather than evidence. The point was their group of youngsters is better than ours. It wasn't about who outraded whom. Did I mention they finished above us?

Re: 1 way we went backwards in '17 - Toughness

I think the problem is part of our overall performance. When we are "on" we seem to be as good and tough as anyone else. When we are "off" we're bloody terrible. The difference between our best and worst is simply too great. Sometimes this happens within a game as well. Our last ...

Re: Who Wants To Come To Us?

I think the Saints should go after Tom Rockliff. They could keep their 1st 2 draft picks and still get an elite midfielder. I think they should too. Agreed. Should've got him last year when they wanted to offload him. The problem as I see it is not that players don't want to come to us, it's that t...

Check the facts. How's their number one pick going compared to ours. Rising star and has played as many senior games in one year as ours has in three. Want me to go on? I could, but your posts speak for themselves. We didn't have No. 1 pick last year. If we did we would have picked McGrath. Paddy i...

Re: Marshall 2 year extension

Good move. Two more years will show us if he has what it takes. I think he does. Plays a tough position, but has had a few years in the VFL and a solid year under his belt with the saints. Good prospect.

Re: Dylan Roberton

A source from the Hawks. They have offered him 700k per year x3, which is way above what we've offered. I'd say that's what's causing the delay. He must be tempted by an offer like that. A young dad with three kids has a chance to set himself and his family up for life. The longer it goes, the more ...

Re: Best 22 without trades

Yep, Geelong targeted Geary in 2014, according to the HS. Three years ago. They can't have tried too hard as they normally get their man. A speculative article is proof? I doubt they were too serious. I also doubt he'd be in their best 22 now. I bet they were spewing they couldn't get him over the l...

Re: Dylan Roberton

Also we need to re-sign Savage. He has been good in the last half of the year. Serious trade bait, I'm told. His form in the second half of the season pleased the club enormously. His value soared. Roberton must be signed, but I never doubt the Hawks ability to get a deal done. They've offered him ...

Re: Best 22 without trades

Not a bad 22, older Saint. The problem is it's just that. Not bad. We desperately need at least three others of some class in there. Two midfield jets and a top class key position type swingman is what we need to go the next step. Of course, McCartin needs to become a 40+ goals a year forward. The i...
