As much as Bains, Elshaugh et al head the recruiting, Pelchen's penchant for drafting left-footers continues.... White & Murdoch are predominately left footers from what I can tell. Hopefully not in the Sam Gilbert mould where the right foot is 'persona non gratis' Not sure on the other draftees...

Just great !

I'm not sure Caddy has done enough to justify the hype. I see a number of people on here compare him to Judd. I saw Judd play a lot of his junior footy and I still remember how gob smacked I was when we passed on him in favour of Ball. Let me state this now and if I'm wrong, may the wrath of all my...

Wouldn't dilute it, if anything will add to it

Correct - completely seperate 'transaction' to Goddards.

The only way Goddards FA pick would be diluted is if the Saints pick up a player through FA, not lose one....

I agree - if Caddy doesn't want to come surely there are other options out there.

I haven't noticed him too much while watching GC and I can't get out of my head that he (evidently) finished 17th in their B & F.

17th......doesn't sound like a gem to me whatever way you wish to sugar coat it !!!

No surprises - Goddard GAWN - off to Essendon

Q Lynch - 2 year deal at Collingwood.

by Royston » Sat 08 Sep 2012 4:36pm A saints contingent are dining with the young GC ruck next week . A big defender has also been earmarked, don't know whom or where from (current afl listed or from another comp) as his identity is being very tightly held by a certain few. All really positive. * f...

Jarred Rivers - to Geelong Brett Thornton - to Melbourne Jacob Surjen (?) - to Freo Alan Didak - to Carlton Scott Gumbleton - to Port Adelaide (3 yr deal) Liam Jurrah - to Geelong Shannon Byrnes -...

Looking at the Hawks last night, and the Swans today, we will not win a premiership without a major rejig/ rebuild of the midfield, which is one-paced and just not hard enough as a unit. Other than that, tall defenders, ruck, tall mobile forwards..all required. A saints contingent are dining with t...

Blake has to go Can't play back 1 out Can't play him forward And you would not pick him solely as ruck Geez us .... I think some people want to keep all players till their 60 and pretend somehow they'll do a job with no thought to the future... Blake taking a starting 22 spot from a kid misses the ...

Is the pick you get for FA....say Goddard going, is it 'that' clubs round pick or is it a pick 'created' by the league. Do we get a first round pick from say Richmond if he goes to Punt Rd or do they keep their 1st rounder and we get a 1st rounder 'created' by the powers that be?? No the club picki...

Didn't say trade him, just put him on the table.

I hate to say it, the kid has no awareness!

I thought the same - haven't seen any Sandy games or much of his time at senior level but was amazed at the lack of awareness.

Either that or he overrates how quick he is....

Barrett also reckons gws having a sneaky look at Reid from Pies who after signing Cloke (hope he bleeds them..), Beams, Wellingham.......might struggle for coin left...(Id keep Reid before Wellingham if I had no choice but..) Reid would be nice.... Sydney are into Reid from the Pies in a big way......

A member of the Collingwood recruiting department will be leaving at seasons end - bound for the Dees....not sure who but one of the leading lights.

Rendell and Mifsud were at the Saints together under the GT rein...

Played at Old Melburnians in 2011.
Son of Frank Dunnell (ex Essendon player)

Tall, rangy build, quite mobile and a very good mark.
Very light on weight wise though...

Correct - played forward.

today the 13th good to see mini get another crack good on him hard worker Have heard that mini's potential selection may also involve a post career position in welfare or admin. Details scratchy but to me it seems they are quite impressed by his character and feel he could offer a bit off field. No...

I'm led to believe Lindsay has discussed purchasing/providing a plane for the Saints to use on their interstate trips....

Played a couple for Old H this year - gave it away to concertrate on the Pies running role.

Ripper bloke by all reports

royston i asked for the the hat scarf tshirt packs and do remember saying: 'also could i get the medallions from 2011 as well, two please?' and the girl said no worries ill get them sent out as well "For Social Club Members, we will also see the return of the Social Club Medallion. In addition...

Our full back in that game was Murray Pitts....
Could have been anything ol' Muzza
