Jason Blake has been traded to Carlton. Does anyone think we should tried to get him back? For a future 3rd round pick, I would have said yes. Sorry, brain fade, Blake Acres. Adding Blake to the Blues midfield is a massive leg up for them especially if he can consistently deliver some of his best f...

I am not a betting man… but saints not being in the deal discussion is a joke. This whole situation just shows how dire things are at the Saints HQ.

Absolutely no hope.

There is no window…. This club is just treading since 2010. Frankly, there is no point rebuilding. Pies and Cats show that. Better off just staying in the middle and leech players off expansion clubs.

HS has posted copies of the First Nation player’s statements on its website.

Thank you and goodbye. Hope never to see you back in any official capacity. Matt Finnis spent all his time espousing social causes. It was more about his "social conscience" rather than winning games. And for all of that, he hired Lethlean despite him getting the boot after getting chummy ...

Jack Bowes would be a solid upgrade I dont know about an upgrade as Long could play a number of roles. Bowes would be another midfield option at least as some feel he has plenty of room for improvement given the opportunity to play midfield minutes. But knowing St Kilda they would probably try and ...

Lyon was similar in some respects to Clarkson when they came in a senior coach. Clarkson was heavily criticised in his early days at the Hawks when he started implementing a fast chip-around precision disposal game, and some even wanted him sacked as coach back then. As he went on the Hawks became ...

Long + third rounder (45) for a GC’s last second round pick (pick 34).

Not to mention breaking Paton’s leg.

How did Clav go in the SANFL? How did we let our previous recruiter go on with years of non-performance? Trying to think who the saints picked up who was AA from the picks in the draft? In recent years, it's only been Sinclair (recruited coz he was Billings' buddy). Can't think of anyone else. The ...

I want a cake...

In VAFA maybe…

Harrison Petty was the pick after ours. Thats gonna hurt us. We did interview him. He is a bit of a bolter who came up the order as the year went on. Plenty of potential, but I'm happy we got Oscar Clavarino. At this stage, at least, better exposed form than Petty and they are similar types. Don’t ...

I watched the last quarter today. Good game.

I do feel st kilda is miles behind in skills and desperation stakes. It's like I was watching a different code.

Anyone remember Guerra?

Got delisted by Grant Thomas as a small but tough HF.

Clark recruited him as a premiership winning half back.

Where do I see the similarities? Was it a case of playing Guerra at his best position or st kilda turfing him out with no good reason.

Reshared from bigfooty. Props to the guy who held on to the paper from 1988….

Thank god. The club improved somewhat off field. On field, 2014 onwards has been a disaster. Lots of jobs for the boys. Dan Hannebery… everyone on tv was saying he was cooked. Nobody’s head rolled for that. Anybody remember Freeman? Also a 2014 decision. Some Kiss of death type decisions as he left....

I would never stop supporting the Saints, but if they re-sign Hannebery I think I will seriously consider keeping my cash in my pocket next season in protest. F#ck them if they double down on this recruiting disaster. I already reached this stage when they re-appointed Ratten. I wasn’t sold on Ratt...

He did a tree change and isn't coaching anywhere else in AFL.

There was a Brisbane ruckman… I think Keating. Only got up for the finals. Would usually be injured for the rest of the year.

Owens probably the sub...

I like Lienert only coz he’s averaging 4 rebound 50s. This provides a point of difference. How many others can do that.

Prefer Taranto if the Saints can get him.

Best team in weeks. Jones should have been an out and delisted.

Leinert

Agree on getting rid of some players and clearing the cap.

Kent is probably gone
Hanneberry gone
Billings... Set him free to free up cap.
Get another forward and keep Membrey in the backline. He will be AA there.
Trade out Battle - he has value now


Free up cap for Taranto
