Agree with you on Bontempelli, however, I think he will go a little later.....Pies or Melb best placed

I thought that he was gone. As The Other Thommo said, with Shaw coming in, Fisher may no longer be required. He is a great general on the backline for us, which will be good for our new backline recruits - assuming we get who we are chasing. Let's hope that he is fully over last season's foot injur...

Hear, hear.....

I think that is a good idea....

Great post....

Yeah, it's a bit of a no brainer really. No fan wants to lose the good players. No rival club wants to trade for your bad players. And just keeping the players on our list and drafting 3 kids per year is not going to get us to where we want to be. Ben is a quality bloke and many of us are sad to se...

No....

It certainly didn't....

The only player that seems to want out is A 31 year old Sam Fisher, great player but yesterday's hero. Storm in a teacup......lest bask in the Freo loss and watch the new talent walk into Seaford in 2014. Could the Fisher thing be related to the concerns that were quickly quietened last preseason? ...

Correct. ...

This may not be the last big name departure.......stay tuned.....

Wonder what the chances of luring Kingy back to the club? With the ruck stocks we have and considering their ages we need a really good ruck coach otherwise we risk Hickeys development to stall. Ben seems to have gone backwards. Will Minsons transformation has been nothing short of stunning , down ...

Sam Mitchell also trained with us ....... the coaching staff at the time considerd him too slow!!

None of us would know if Watters should be sacked due to playe discontent or management issues... I definitely don't pretend to know either way...... However, Finey might (he might not either) I have no opinion .... On what he believes What I will judge him on is results, and coaching skills to inf...

Just to add my bit to any "conspiracy theory"; maybe old Finey wants to see his Sunday morning mate Robert Shaw on the coaching panel at the Saints, along with Alan Richardson? :D I'll see your conspiracy theory and then raise you this one; For the 1st hour each night Mark Fine on SEN tri...

Too much fire at the Saints these days....

Is true.....

F*ck off about getting a priority pick. 1. You tanked - and cheated the system. 2. Since 2006, you have had 15 national draft selections inside pick 26, 11 of those picks in the top 14. 3. You already had two priority selections, two No.1 overall picks, six picks in the top four. 4. You already hav...

We asked for one of Goldsack, Dick or N Brown....Collingwood said no, but offered Wellingham and Pick 30....we said no. We then tried to get everitt from Foots, who said they wanted a pick lower than 22. The filth then offered Wellingham to North for Pick 25 and were going to on trade that and pick ...
