Dean Towers is a 21yo half back player in the mould of Issac Smith who has played off half back this year in the VFL. Given that under Pelchin Smith and Saad, as well as Milera have been picked up relatively early in order to deny other clubs a chance of drafting them, and have gone on to have immed...

17 disposals per game for a 26 year old midfielder with 8 years experience is not good enough. Ray looks laconic and is laconic. He lacks intensity and consistency. If he is traded I hope we can get adequate compensation. laconic is the last word I'd use to describe Ray! He is a running machine, wh...

for the first time since they joined the club both he and Warrick Andreoli finally look as though they have adult bodies. With another preseason both of these guys (most likely from the rookie list) will at least be able to show what they have to offer. I feel as though both of these boys, Winmar i...

Completely agree that we should target BJ ahead of Caddy...pick 24 should be shipped off for BJ asap, and then 34 for Hickey-potentially plus a clarke or even a pick we get back for Ray

Jolly?

The delisting Lee had is virtually irrelevant now, as is the fact he was initially drafted at 60. Firstly he was delisted after 1 year indicating he really wasn't settling in at the club and was in over his head (being drafted at 17 he was one of the youngest blokes in the afl, moving cities, immatu...

Key Defender? read somewhere he's 193/94kgs?

at least with a name like tommy lee there are a heap of nicknames to choose from!

I guess that's what I was getting at in a roundabout kind of way, his skills are up to afl standard, whilst not at goddard or dal's. If he gets opportunities he'll be fine

Sam Mitchell is certainly someone tom would model himself on. Sam's a pretty special player though!

A few have mentioned poor footskills as something that may hold tommy back, but given that he plays the inside mid role I reckon his skills are pretty good. He reminds me of a (probably less good) version of chris judd with his ferocity on the ball as well as the burst of speed to break outside. Ju...

good point!

As much as I would also love to confuse opposition sides they would probably say get on "#21" or "#3" which would alleviate confusion

This is the greatest rumour ever, a lot of my close mates are melbourne supporters and would be dead set filthy if Chip left. It would be the greatest ammunition ever, they wouldn't hear the end of it! I doubt very much this will happen but as stated before its lovely to dream. Has certainly got me ...

I reckon dan will start his afl career off a half forward flank, so with BJ gone if Sippa takes the bj quarterback role that may allow markworth to get games on the hff. I reckon fergo plays the same role as blake/gilbert/fisher/simpkin (if we have a big KPD) so it may be harder for him to break int...

both kosi and gram had clauses in their previous contracts to activate a 2013 wage. These were both signed in late 2009? meaning there's every chance they're both on good coin for 2013

eric the eel is a saints supporter?

Found myself willing something to change in the last few minutes, was still so hard to watch

Armo is more agile than we give him credit for...he did win the agility test at draft camp, surely that indicates he's quick over 5-10 metres in close. As for his sprinting he certainly isn't slow, but I would have thought Terry Milera, Stanley, Markworth, Saad and even Gilbo/Ray were quicker

clokes now resigned so s***s about to really ramp up on the goddard and other potential trade targes now i feel Oi Jimmy..., stick to the protocol... don't go posting facts ! :lol: Well considering cloke is signed to collingwood for a further 5 years the rumour that he had "resigned" was ...

I like the centrebet sponsorship purely because it's meant that the St. Kilda brand is getting more exposure. Every time that "fire up" advertisement comes on tv I like the fact that the game on in the background shows the saints (cripps?) kicking a goal. Maybe I'm easy to please but if ce...

BLAKEY!!!!

I heard a rumour saying that the heart surgery to Lenny Hayes wasn't to do with a leaky valve at all...its all part of a plan to take the stem cells from his heart (scientific reasoning may be dubious) and grow 37 exact replicas (38 players on the list?). Every player at St. Kilda will be undergoing...
