Re: Josh Battle Out
The good thing about all f these arguments is that AT LAST we have a good, deep pool of possible replacements in good form who don't have to be "like for like" and so give the selectors lots of ready-made options. Having said that I am SOOOOOO glad that I am not a selector having to make t...

Re: High-priced Saint makes his mark, embattled star back running
Is it just me - or does Hannebery look proppy in that vision of him jogging the boundary? If you listen to some pf the posters on here, he was probably still pissed. :wink: Hopefully they've installed private ramps for Hanners at Morrabbin. Another encounter with some dodgy stairs could end his car...

Re: Key Defenders and Small Forwards
Why does everyone say Parker is a 'small' forward? I know that he is relatively tall and likes to try to take a speccy but the fact is that he plays the ball more off the ground than in the air. Thus, he is more of a crumbing/pressure forward than a marking forward. Yes, he is taller than Membrey b...

Re: Mature age ex AFL who can play
Sam Murray & Harley Bennell can both play footy. Both have a history of off field issues and clubs ignored them in both drafts. Both have skill & pace. Murray is fit and ready to go. Bennell would need to prove his calfs are ok. If they are fit and over off field issues would be a fabulous ...

Re: The List
Can the rookies play if there are no LTI's? Yes. Yep, now that the AFL has made that change, I don't quite get what the purpose of the rookie list is. Why not just extend the numbers in the main list?? It is a HR issue. Contracts and minimum pay rates. Ahh OK. However, I bet Wilkie has had a pay ri...

Re: Welcome Ryan Abbott
C'mon guys. Get over it. He is a cheap short-medium term back up with a lot more potential upside than Billy and Spencer, who were gone for medical reasons anyway. Talk about a storm in a teacup.

Re: Welcome Ryan Abbott
And, as that article mentioned, Geelong's ruck is remarkably thin with Stanley as the no.1 ruck. He is a good(ish) player but surely he is too fragile to bear the no.1 burden for the whole year ?????

Re: Jono Marsh
huh? ease up. His first year back in AFL. He looked good with ball. Lets just see what happens this year. I like him I agree.

Re: Bennell
Avoid. Bad influence for Hanners. Both of them may end up falling down some stairs together. Nope, different club, different people around him, he is more mature, he knows that it is last chance saloon, etc etc etc. Must push as hard as possible. Would be such a bonus if he comes good and no great ...

Re: Paddy to be delisted
I remember all of the calls on here for us to draft Petracca at that time but I agree that both Petracca and Brayshaw have been disappointing.
Has anybody looked at the AFL playing records of the others in that draft to see who actually turned out to be the best of that year?

Re: List vacancies
I reckon taking Bennell is a no-brainer. His body is close to right (if not completely OK) and he would have a good stable atmosphere around him at the Saints.SaintJohn1956 wrote: ↑Mon 28 Oct 2019 10:57am Would it be worth giving Bennell or Sam Murray a chance?

Re: Jono Marsh
The challenge is how fit can he get ? I would like to see him take Acres spot as the big bodied kind of random mid. He has done it at WAFL Is bigger, stronger and maybe faster than Acres - seems to play in a kind of random manner - not sure he will be quite to Acres levels of randomness though hope...

Very pleased about that. I think that he still has a lot to offer. Maybe even more off-field than on-field.
