Re: Hannebery Deal Tomorrow

One of the things we truely lack is leadership. Hopefully Hanners can bring that aspect and the deal will be worth it. Assuming that our medical department can keep him on the park.

Will we ever keep a second round pick in the next year. Always seem to be trading them out.

Re: Ben Long to Essendon/Melbourne

Long is an elite kick.

Try as we might we havent been able to 'coach' that out of him.

If he can hit a target and score more goals than points in a season he definately doesnt belong at StKilda.

Get pick 9 so we can give it to Sydney for our latest medical project.

Disgraceful.

There are dozens of other players that are seeking to line their retirement with a few more years on a list and a club to pay their medical bills.

Re: Mc Cartin

worth a shot in the backline. My concern would be his ability to pick it up off the deck.

He would benefit greatly to learn how to play as a backman. Fraser Gehrig style. Use that knowledge to become a better forward.

Re: Wright and Goddard have been delisted

Goddard has the skills. Has all the attributes to make a quality player. Ultimately his body let him down. Recruiters cant be blamed for that. Wright showed glimses but couldnt bring consistency. Not sure whether he outperformed in patches or the coaches couldnt push (or pull) him to the next level....
