Re: Astute trading

I was annoyed we didn’t get Josh Kelly in his draft year as I was a massive fan! But alas he was gone. Would I have selected JB at 3 Yes - even though he was only a HF Bont was a ‘reach’ and I wouldn’t take any risks with FRDPs Bont has paid off for the WBs so good drafting and good luck to them 20...

Re: Free Agency Compo

Clubs can find out from afl what compo is before agreeing to match deal or not for restricted. 750k to 800k min 4 years gets r1 compo - seems a big stretch for Gresham obviously If Gresham left and we wanted Jordan then we swap late picks or ship them a 4th rounder as free agency compo is limited an...

Re: It’s a final

Seb got votes by a few on here - I didn’t think he was great - but had 24 and worked hard - Seb had played 1 game in 7 weeks Crouch was pretty average but had 21 - he wasn’t a passenger - he just didn’t play out of his skin Steele had 38, Marshall 31, Hill played well - so not all senior players we...

Both very poor BM - not arguing they did much at all.

Re: It’s a final

If we bang the table and demand better then they will get better, don’t you know that’s how it works Instead of focusing on Pou and Caminiti, ask these questions Ross went at 45% efficiency up until midway 3rd quarter How did Hunter Clark go, was he effective? Crouch double grabbed everything Higgin...

End of 2nd round has been mooted nowhere
That would be 3 years at 500
We would match that and force trade for pick 20-25 which gets Henry
Very easy really

Re: Finals Week 1 scenarios

Sydney is the clear most likely opponent. 60/40 whether we finish ahead of them. Unless Melbourne tank for a home final against Collingwood instead of travelling to Port or Brisbane. Interesting question if you're Melbourne - Collingwood at the G, Port in Adelaide, or Brisbane in Brisbane - what do...

He has played 30 games in basically the hardest spot on the ground, CHF or at least a decoy HF. He played wing part of the night the other night.

Re: Dan & Jack Make Choices Look Hard?

I actually cannot think of any St Kilda player who makes these decisions look easy, besides NWM & Sincs from half back, so I am a little baffled why these two are singled out. Butler gets criticised for not kicking enough goals but chases and tackles like it's 2nd nature. Higgins presents and k...

Re: Sandringham

Adams doesn't really have the physique to play as a key back. He's built similarly to Nick Blakey. In fact, he reminds me a lot of a guy who used to play for us in the early 1990s called Tim Elliot, who was a kind of defender/back up ruck. He does some good things, but he has his fair share of howl...

Anyone that doesn’t think the change of the coach has made any difference have short memories from last year. We were shocking last year in too many games and lost by big margins.
