Clark plus something for Ben King
Is it our first round pick, another player, swap of picks?
Suddenly Gold Coast may have too many tall forwards and Ben is coming off a knee

100% why do the deal
Back Hayes in to turn him around
He leaves for a shuffle of picks at the top end or he stays
He gets tagged most weeks, that’s how valuable other teams see him

Possible trade
Swap north pick 1 for our pick 9 plus Hill
We split pick 1 into pick 7 and say 13
We split 13 into 18 and 30
We get 3 picks inside 30

And yes north could do the swap of pick 1 and give us pick 13 instead

North drop a few spots and get hill

Only possible if clarko gets there obviously

Jeans at Richmond Jeans at St Kilda? Was Jeans a great coach at StKilda? Did he get the best out of his talent base? Did Jeans cost us the 1971 flag by not making a move on Keddie? Keddie kicked 4 last quarter goals and missed two sitters. I bet the 1971 fan forum went into melt down that night on ...

A Wilkie Sinclair tie would be appropriate

He was clean today, didn’t fumble
Looked positive, lead up to the ball
For me played a good game, reckon his best for the year
When he doesn’t fumble he is good

I thought we played like absolute sh*t in the second half (not the first time this season), but reading comments here, it looks like the umpires caused us to lose. It is possible to have umpires change momentum twice but also have our players fold like a deck of cards and lose the game. We were cle...

Time for some left field thinking
Ben King is still there ready and waiting

How about
Hunter Clark and our first pick for Ben.
He goes back and dominates CHB and Clark goes to GC in his favoured HB which they need?

Would we do it?
Would they take it?

It is not a legal possession if it brushes your foot, they have been paying them holding the ball all year.

That decision and the arm chop by Wilkie were massive errors by the same umpire and changed the momentum of the game both times.

Thought highmore had played on and was lucky to have the reset ……..and after 5 yrs of carrying on about umpiring……. You’ve just wasted your time n energy move on just watch the game Problem is rule says umpire has to signal play on before you tackle, so it has to be 50 Doesn’t matter what it looks ...

The difference between his best and worst has always been his issue. He can look like a world beater for a game or two and then not touch it for 3 weeks in a row.
North just gave up in frustration

No draft photo I presume

Poor with the footy in hand.

The back 7 is our best 3rd but Howard and Paton have been ordinary

I agree
No obvious replacement for Howard or Paton really, Joyce is bot up to standard, could Byrnes replace Paton?

Yep simply demand more that will do it
How about we get membership up to 80k and get more than 30k to a game and then we can demand more from the club
We continue to be mediocre because supporters are apathetic and we don’t attract the best to manage the club
Simple as that

Such an easy target
Yes he got tagged out of it, yes his effort dropped
But he did not squib it.. effort not bravery

Absolutely he should be held to account but some of the drivel on here is laughable

Sinclair
Ross
Wilkie
Hill
Gresham

Hunter Clark has covid
Out this week

f****** good footballer though.

Not even remotely funny. Given the only 50 that resulted in a goal went there way. Still a 50 no one knows why it was awarded. Because we are in positive territory in free kicks received and you can no longer bitch and moan over the inequity of the total numbers, you are reverting to specific decis...

Coming from a skeptic who thought his time at the Saints was up, easily our best tonight and the best game I have seen him play for a while.
He took the game on used his pace and skill to give us every chance.
Well done and hats off on a very disappointing night.

Coaches are like teachers, the best ones make a big difference, the bad ones stunt development, lose people in the system they are in and are eventually moved on when people don’t develop The best coach can’t make the laziest player succeed, in the end it is down to the player or person to do the wo...

Give it up mate
You said they agreed and they didn’t, one was pushed into agreeing but the others didn’t
You and the decision are wrong

Umpire just cheated Everyone just saw a umpire caught cheating. OMG how could that be justified? What a farce the AFL has become. No damn common sense anymore. Since when did an umpire change his mind after a player questioned his decision. Players need to learn to stop doing it or it's 50 meters. ...

IMO the umpire made a mistake with one free kick against Howard. The 50 for dissent looked to me to be entirely consistent with the rule. I thought that as soon as Mackenzie started waving his hand around and yelling, there’d be a 50. And so there was. What about when king did it? What about when W...
