Someone should check Ballantynes bank account.

Gunston killing Dawson!!

Fyfe is why we should try to pickup Sharenburg in the draft. Tall utility who can play tall either end but can develop in the guts as well.

Did we have anyone in the GF sprint? Who won?

I hope there is room on the Rookie list for Jay Lever. Reportedly still building bulk on his 200cm frame. Skills OK. That size defender doesn't come along every day.

Me too.

The fan deserve it after so much failure in that football club.

Why is everyone just looking at Ross Lyon?

What about Pavlich who has been just as good, valuable and plain likeable as Roo who now finally gets his chance at a premiership?

Is he worth consideration ?

Very good chance IMOH.

Late Change - IN: Tom Ledger OUT: Tom Lee. SW certainly likes playing games with the team list. Good to see that Tom Ledger gets a game, however I still can't see him staying on the list next year. I think this demonstrates that the Saints do demonstrate care for player welfare by giving Tom a chan...

I'm liking Watters atm.. think he's taking the right approach to this task. Agree with this. Jury still out on how good a coach he is but we are in a rebuild and that is never pretty. Great to watch the kids develop and the supporters just need to hang tough for a couple of lean years. :( So much w...

Well I reckon at best it will be the opposite. Im going Saad gets given a year and ASADA appeal and he gets 2 years. Im going Essendon players get 6 months or nothing. And ASADA wont appeal. All based on nothing at all. Im also tipping nothing happens to the Saints which is pretty obvious but I rec...

Lets be honest, our coaching sucks. Of all the coachable skills, such as getting goal side of your man, chasing and running hard forward and back, keeping possession rather than bombing long, forward pressure, kicking to an even contest rather than on on two, etc etc. These are the things that we u...

Up to 4116 so nearly half way there

Love to understand why Curren only got 2 touches. Was he told not to move out of forward 50? It's just not like his game to not be in the thick of it. Anyone got any ideas what went wrong?

After last night it is a dead set certainty that we will trade our 1st draft pick for Jake Carlisle.

We are one tall to many at the moment IMO. What a great problem to have. :) Wouldn't the doggies love it. They have nothing up forward. And we still have maybe one big surprise package still playing in the twos. Possible end of season deal with the doggies? One of our developing forwards for an A c...

Really strong Saints line up. Like the balance. Could be a great game and a sneaky win!

We might win.....










The toss!

Good to see the new young guns though. Lets just enjoy the ride.

* BUMP * in to help push the troll posts back into history.... The AFL phantom form guide is now available http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-07-05/phantom-draft-form-guide Jay Kennedy Harris has got to be a shoe in for our first pick. 173 cm. We definitely need more like that! :roll: Then again at lea...

Love the optimism but need to have a reality check. We need to get some midfield stars. We have a Lyon legacy of mainly GOPs. The rebuild started last year and I am confident that Pelchen will be a big draft player over the next two years emphasising ball skills in a "Hawthorn" type rebuil...

Got my support too. Let us know if you need us to pitch in.

Agree. Watched and enjoyed the rebuild after Timid but it does take time and certainly will not happen in one year. We so need some great recruiting. Faith in Pelchen!

When you see the transformation that Hinkley has had on a developing team like Port Power you know a coach can make a difference. No one is questioning Hinkley atm because he is delivering on his contract. Why be sensitive to questioning if Watters is delivering? Is it really all the teams fault?

Curren is not list .. Agree Saunders Saad would play Stanley in ruck and forward does not really deserve it but no choice this year. Would definitely player Ledger too ?...Ross looks cooked. Play Hayes with Milne Kosi next Melbourne game then no more for Kosi. Then play White Simpkin Lee against Su...
