I have no doubt Mitch can carve out a very nice career as a medium forward, but geeze I'd like to see him train as a mid all pre season and have a couple of months in the guts to see if he can become our Fyfe/Bont style mid. Maybe he just lacks the game sense and class to play that role but it would...

I've been a fan of Cooper since his first season. Back then he didn't quite have the tank or conditioning to run out a full game and since then he's been a victim of his own versatility. Much like Battle - showed promise as a forward, failed on a wing, looked decent in defence for a bit but just cou...

There goes the one thing we had to look forward to over the rest of the season

There are no doubt similar threads floating around from our 2017 win over Richmond. Maybe even after our 2014 spanking of Freo. Byrnes had also turned the corner at the beginning of last year before regressing. He was also looking good at the beginning of this year but was unable to keep up his form...

Byrnes was very good against Sydney. The issue is that he tends to have 2-3 good game per year and offers absolutely nothing outside of that. I'd love it if he found consistency and played at his best most of the time. His bad games are really, really bad though. I feel like I've been duped twice by...

Playing one of Keeler/Heath each week for the rest of the season makes all the sense in the world. You're giving them a taste of AFL footy to fast track development, we're getting an idea of where they're at, we're easing the load on Marshall (no point flogging him to death in a non finals year) and...

We need to hit the draft hard to try to bring in top end talent, then we can look into trade/FA in a year or two. It seems a foregone conclusion at this point that Battle is walking to Hawthorn and that should net us band 1 compo, so we probably have two picks in the top 6, which is a great start. D...

His continued knee and shoulder injuries are a real concern. I'm hoping he doesn't go the way of Xavier Clarke, whose body just couldn't stand up to the demands of AFL footy after his first few years.

Out: Caminiti (inj), Dow (inj)
In: Howard, Garcia

B: Wilkie, Howard, Webster
HB: Sinclair, Battle, NWM
C: Hill, Steele, Wood
HF: Higgins, King, Garcia
F: Butler, Marshall, Sharman

Foll: Campbell, Windhager, Owens
Int: Bonner, Clark, Schoenmaker, Garcia
Sub: Wilson

I think we've seen the best of Steele. At his peak he was an absolute gun but now I think he's more just a serviceable midfielder in the rotation. I don't think he can be "the man" anymore. We're crying out for a Petracca/Reid/Horny Francis explosive type.

He is contracted Nearly half of the traded players are contracted - it's becoming a non issue. Contracted til 2027 and very much a required player though. It's not like he's got one year left and then could walk out as a FA. If a team manages to pry him out of St Kilda we will need to be very, very...

Ratten doesn’t have to be loyal to StK They sacked him under contract As far as he is concerned StK can get fkd I reckon Obviously. Brett can act as he chooses. I just don't appreciate it as a Saints supporter. Vindictive behaviour is unbecoming and toxic. By the way, Brett was well paid by us wasn...

A few others who might have German heritage

Jeff Fehring
Steve Gaertner
Sean Dempster
Jarrod Lienert
Beau Maister
Dylan Pfitzner
Daniel Wulf

Windhager certainly seems German. Should be pronounced Markoos Vindhahger

Changes I'd want to see Out: Ross Membrey Allison Bonner Jones McLennan Byrnes Re-sign Campbell, Hayes and Webster as depth for one more year unless we're picking up readymade replacements. Van Es gets one more chance at getting his body right. Give Hotton a chance to show something after a horror r...

He’s out of contract and an unrestricted free agent

We do. Just need to pay him what he wants.

I also think Crouch is done ✅ Jones is done ✅ Campbell is done ✅ I think it's premature to write off Crouch. He was our best midfielder last year and has had a season ruined by injury so far. Putting up huge numbers in the VFL at the moment and realistically should be in the 22 right now. Jones I a...

Dingbat.

According to Ling, Ben Long played one of the best games of football anyone will ever see. Absolutely dominated with his 10 disposals, 1 goal and 3 shots that didn't score.

Ross and Skunk are thoroughly cooked. Jimmy can still play a role to a reasonable level but I'd prefer that we give Paton a month in the seniors to see if he can still play the small defender role and potentially earn another contract. Agree that there's not much point in playing Webster since final...

Gresham has been ok but hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. Hardly value for money. He’s also lost a bit of pace the last few because of his leg injuries which means he’s not as damaging as he was in the first 5 years of his career. Out of curiosity I just checked his stats and after kicking 9 go...

So Ross has decided that Seb offers us more this week than Crouch would. He's probably the only person who follows football with that opinion. Not just Ross. Boris Banger BJ Damian Carroll maybe Jake Batchelor might have a voice in Match Committee as well. Something weird is going on. Do they expec...

I can’t believe no crouch. You need an older fella in the 2s to teach the way and I thought it would have been Ross getting dropped, Crouch in. Bonner out for Arie. Arie has been tearing it up and smashing the door to be selected. Needs a game. 💯💯 Bonner got the DCM from Port because although he ca...
