Welcome to the club..

He's been mentioned as playing low laying fwd, a defender, high half fwd, wing... and avg 8 disposals a game..

Yeah it did appear that way.

I didn't know he was a particularly big kick either.. Good on him for havng a crack though..

realdeal

Not sure Hartigan is anything but a stop gap and Corr would've cost more than we were prepared to give. You can't have everyone. Frawley and McKernan are stop gaps, every team needs them. Low cost, experienced veterans. We dont want too many inexperienced or developing players coming into the team a...

This is really disappointing Get rid of Marsh and recruit Mckernan ffs McKernan 87 games in 11 years 30 yo with little upside Versus a 25 year almost identical size and stats, but speed to burn and from the outside a great Saint clubman Versus Mckernan who at best looks disinterested You know the m...

Mmm... disappointed to lose him. Thought he was the best of Lonie, Kent, Marsh etc But to be honest... don’t rate any of them particularly highly. Will be Butler and Higgins rotating with Gresh and Billing’s longercterm I would've kept him to spite essendon or give him to another team. Hind has had...

Much like McKernan and the ruck.

Idea is growing on me

Would look a lot better if we could move on Joyce

Geez, forgot about Joyce... What length contract was he given?

Essendon demanded pick 8 from Carlton for Saad yet only offering us a 4th round pick (approx pick 60) for Hind.. Both players scored 2 votes in the Brownlow... :wink: Although he's 26 and behind Lonie and Kent, the fact is he's good for depth and really, chances of finding a player as good in this p...

Id be happy to go with that... we'd have the full support of 16 other clubs too!

realdeal

How crazy is it that we think list reductions are coming yet no one knows how much by so all the clubs have to start guessing whilst also making trades/delistings.. amateur stuff by the AFL.

Id rather Nathan Brown come back...

realdeal

Just looked a step off the pace at AFL level, couldn't get his hands on the ball enough.

In saying that, geez, McKenzie is lucky he has that 3yr contract.

realdeal

He's got a great pair of hands and a good kick; he strikes me as a real confidence player so when he's on, he's very good but the gap between his best and his worst is too great. If he can become more consistent, he'll be a more than handy acquisition for us. Welcome to the Saints Shaun! As long as...

realdeal

Collingwood is the team thats hemorrhaging under the salary cap, there is no way on earth we need to give up pick 17. Something in the 30-40 should do it. Whatever team takes him is helping them. In saying that, i still dont think we need a player like him at that price... We then lose any cap flexi...

realdeal

Hind has a lot of upside. Maybe depth at the moment but is developing nicely. Time to move on Lonie and Kent. Both have had their opportunities and are limited Agreed... I think Hind will be the best of the three Lonie is being shopped around and Kent has a contract that I guarantee no one wants to...

realdeal

Id rather Hooker at this stage of their careers but prefer Carlisle....

Allir Allir would be great!

realdeal

Roughy and Ratts have tasted multiple success. They'll be talking in private about Gears' future, and what's best for the team. If Gears plays next year, I won't be happy at all (as will many others) but I just hope the club has thought it through Geary has already signed on to play next year.. I e...

realdeal

He's also contracted so costs alot more $ wise and trade wise than McKernan. But i completely agree about trying to get him... his stats show him to be elite at stoppages and clearances, along with his contested marking and overall athleticism he and Marshall could be a huge weapon just like Ryder i...

Martin is cooked, was a liability against Geelong.

Bunch of precious boys on here He is just speculating trades might know a bit. Get off his back it a trade forum for discussion and rumours.

More to come but there is word starting to get out we are going after another big fish. No idea on who it is. The club is keeping things very in house these days like Crouch. It had to wait for Crouch to nominate us and Caldwell's decision but a big fish no 2 might be swimming into RSEA Park for 20...

Worth mentioning that he's a complete tossbag too

If he is selected he will be just be a short term BACK UP on minimum wage! The chances of him actually playing AFL are probably less than Abbott this year. Wright is reportedly on a huge contract at GCS and not even Dodoro would go near him for those $$$. Yes, i think many people are missing the po...

If Luke Dunstan played well enough in round 1 to earn 1 Brownlow vote then why was he dropped for the next game? Before you have a go at me saynta, this is an honest question. I think that Ratts decided that he wanted to go for more pace in the team. And over the year being quicker than our opponen...

realdeal

We needed an inside gun bull and it seems we now have one pending Adelaide's decision to match or not to match. Keep him fit and kerb his penchant for booze and we have a very good player. Just need Caldwell now to pull the trigger and a fit Gresh and we finally have the midfield depth we have been...

realdeal

Crouch nominating us is great news! A RFA nominates us, this is huge! A grade player at his best, cost nothing in relation to draft picks. Another player wanting to come to our club shows we are now becoming a club of choice and climbing the rungs of the destination club ladder. What we cannot do a...
