Has speed, good kick and has played back, but also midfield and forward. They are probably looking to develop him as wing/midfield with his attributes. Let's see how he goes - I am sure the club don't have him labelled as a "HB flanker"

oh ffs!!! it's not flowering rocket science!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: jaxon's has given us all a good clue. need more help, ffs? ok. want to avoid a dud? flowering easy. don't pick any small lightly framed soft&@#k drummer types. :evil: :evil: want to pick up someone who will be a flowering star?...

Might be a bit of ducks and drakes going on, but apparently the full results of Stephenson's heart tests won't be known until after the draft, so a number of clubs have backed away a bit, including the Saints. Not worth the risk for a low pick.? He may well slide into the teens, be interesting to see.

There's enough material in here for an entire conference.

Quiet time in footy at the moment but at least you keep things interesting DH.

Carlton certainly had a good year in 2017 re Rising Stars, but then again it depends on who you have eligible. We did not have that many eligible in 2017 ( is it 10 games or under?) which could be seen as an issue, or it could be seen as our youngsters becoming more established and are further down ...

All due respect to 3 club champs but Dempster wasnt going to get much game time, Roo was supposed to be running off the wing through the midfield and Joey was coasting until Brereton called him out and when he pushed himself he went down injured. Bad kicking by some inexperienced players and some f...

Happy just to see the team play football. Jack Billings is better honing his skills on the field (ie goal kicking) rather than on the phone to members.

The club have enough general functions where members can attend, that is enough for me.

Don't think we will be bringing anyone else in, but would prefer Hartung over Lonie, Minchington and perhaps Wright.

Brings speed.

Err..... don't think so.

I agree with you TTT. Whitlam did more positive long term things for Australia in his brief tenure than all those after put together, including the ALP Govts. Even an old foe, Malcolm Fraser, who became a great friend of Whitlam, has stated to this effect. We are now back in the quagmire of nothing ...

Whoever came up with the NBN initially and signed up for it deserves jail time. It is quite ironic that wireless technology that will come into the market in 5-10 years time like the new 5G will easily outspeed it. There are companies and governments around the world already working on better wirel...

I have read the age article - no problems with it. To fix the NBN now will cost over 100bn - better to have done it properly the first time, even if it cost 80bn.

There should be NO scenario, where a man can almost singlehandedly determine the trade strategy of a club, and be on a promise to another club. . Despite your baseless paranoia, no knowledge of when Bain's informed the club he was leaving, what timing of departure and roles of responsibility was ag...

I don't think he has totally abandoned the forum - he was just on it a minute ago. Just to carry on your ludicrous theory, if Jaxons was Ameet, he would be best to stay on the forum and find out sensational saintsational info which would be vital for his new club? Are you suggest I was serious abou...

It's like our supporter base are a bunch of zombies. Just happy to accept mediocrity and being walked all over. You really think Collingwood or the other big boys would just accept the conflict and move on without at least asking questions? The apathy of people here is a serious concern. What medio...

What does 'smart operator' mean?

The opposite of 'dumb operator'

Well good luck

So every club that loses a senior staff member to another club should submit an explanation on the circumstances of the departure? Yeah right.

Ha Ha. As if Bains would even consider stooping to Saintsational.
