Yep me too BS......... even tho I shouted a few profanities at the telly a couple of weeks back when Blake Acres made some clangers that resulted in goals.Bernard Shakey wrote:Very happy to watch the young blokes develop this year!
Our lack of support around the younger players this year is not development its torture! God bless any one elses sons that get selected by our club in future years! If the Saints were an ordinary work place exposing under developed kids to the risks we do they would be shut down by the Work Health Authorities!Bernard Shakey wrote:Very happy to watch the young blokes develop this year!
Pretty much. That is what this year is.Bernard Shakey wrote:Very happy to watch the young blokes develop this year!
I still have high hopes for 2914 (and cryogenics).remboy wrote:Given up on 2914 already Jiggster?
Yeah I don't think we're going to be any better for a few years yet. 50 - 80 games before these guys can compete consistently with the best.Saint wagga wrote:I'm still a bit worried about the actual number of 'kids' that are going to have decent games tallies chalked up by seasons end...barring injury and form slumps...
1. Newnes will be early to mid 40's
2. Webster mid 30's
3. Curren mid 20's
4. Dunstan 20 or so
5. Billings mid t0 late teens
6. Longer round 20ish
7. Hickey 30's
8. Wright teens
9. Saunders 20ish
10. Acres - not many
11. Bruce - hopefully close to mid 20's
12. Siposs - 30's
13. Shenton - mid teens at best
To hard to predict...Murdoch, T.Lee, Markworth
I guess you have to start somewhere, and time will tell how this projection goes with a climb up the ladder.
Woops, my mistake. Although if we can't win a flag in the next 900 years i'm giving up.perfectionist wrote:I still have high hopes for 2914 (and cryogenics).remboy wrote:Given up on 2914 already Jiggster?

It's a good point you make BigMart...I guess it's the big unknown...BigMart wrote:By the time these kids get to 50-70 games
Hayes, Fosher, Schnieder, Montagna Riewoldt, Dempster will be gone
In my mind
That is probably 4 of the top 6 in the current B&F and Schnieder was probably Bog Vs Ess.
So to think in 2015/16 we are going to be better than now.... Is not a fair accompli
Are Newnes, Dunstan, Billings etc... Going to develop to the point (at that stage) where they not only fill there boots, but automatically advance us up the ladder
Remember
We are not the only team with young developing players
We could still make the finals this year...couldn't we?plugger66 wrote:spert wrote:2015 will be good as long as we don't get another run of 4-6 month injuries to handy players. Need to be on the lookout for another big mobile forward, backman and a mature midfielder.
What do you mean good? Surely we have to finish bottom 4, maybe even bottom 2 with Brisbane.

Exactly. That's why as long as all the injured players are back for finals time we'll be right.spert wrote:We could still make the finals this year...couldn't we?plugger66 wrote:spert wrote:2015 will be good as long as we don't get another run of 4-6 month injuries to handy players.
