Billy Longer - where's he at??
Watched Richo's "Ask The Coach" video and was pretty concerned about his comments re: Longer and Hickey Said that Longer hasn't joined the main group (assuming that means hasn't joined since day 1??) and Hickey was in front for the No. 1 role. Anyone know what's wrong with Longer?? Did he ...

Re: Unfulfilled talent over the past 60 years
Kosi got worked out pretty quickly by defenders when he was at FF under Ross. If he got a free run at the pack he could latch onto anything. All you needed to do was apply a little bit of body on him on his way to the contest (ie. as he went to launch) and he was gone, out of the contest completely....

Re: Armo working slowly slowly to return ( article)
I reckon our midfield group has moved past Armo. He will be a handy experienced addition if he can get back to his best, but we're in trouble if we're relying on him to be starting in the centre for Round 1. I'm expecting Dunstan to have a Ross-like breakout year, along with Steele improving, Jack S...

Re: New guernsey number suggestions
There’s been a definite pattern since Richo came aboard that the draftees get high numbers and “earn” an upgrade.
I reckon we’ll see that with Number 11 (maybe White), and the brand new kids will get the later lockers...

Re: Wool - Troy Schwarz
I was there that night, and it was a massive beat up.
Pretty sure McGuire had plenty to say about it which gave it oxygen, and it was that week before round 1 with no footy so it filled some column space.

Re: Can the integrity of our B&F voting system be questioned
All stems from Gazza winning the GC award. They tweaked the results knowing he was getting traded - it was more important that they improved their trade value than keep integrity in their B&F. As far as the Saints are concerned, I cant think of too many shocking results in our B&F in recent ...

Re: Tom McCartin
Was it Tom who jumped on Twitter earlier in the year when Paddy was dominating at Sandy and couldn't get a look in??
Someone supposedly from the McCartin clan had some choice opinions about the Saints coaching staff....probably not a great idea in your draft year??

Re: List spots
I wouldn’t be surprised if we took on a delisted player as a rookie. In a draft that’s supposedly shallow in depth, the kids that don’t make the cut in the National draft are unlikely to be potential stars.
Someone like Tom Lamb might benefit from being a rookie pick, to readjust the attitude a bit.

Re: Trading Our Top 10 Picks For A Higher Pick
Unfortunately this year is a year for using a second round pick to get a decent player.....Balic, Saad, Smith etc. We already did this - We can’t be upset with giving up Pick 30-ish for Steele. I reckon, given the general commentary about this years draft, we’d be better off trying to score more pi...

Re: I am worried ....
Problem with using 7 & 8 is that Jack Steven will be 28 come Round 1, and Armo 29. When fully fit, both are still our best mids (or at least 2 of the best 3 with Seb). For us to improve, we need players that will help right now, while Jack and Armo are still around. If we wait until Pick 7 &...

Re: Arnitage up for trade
Fully fit Armo can perform the 'Mav Weller role' of defensive half forward better than Mav (IMHO). Assuming Weller can get fit and find something close to 2016, he is far better in the air than Armo, and because of that, demands more attention from his opponent, which is critical for that half forw...

Re: Finals discussion thread
Last nights game could have been any game in any round - just didn't have that finals intensity about it.
GWS will take care of either WC or Port next week, but I just can't see them beating either the Cats or Richmond at the G in a prelim. Not how they played last night anyway...

Re: Then there were 3
Word on the street was that Lonie has been offered a deal, but wasn't happy with it.
Most likely that his manager calls around to a few clubs, realises there's not much interest, and Lonie accepts the low deal.

Jamie Cox, as the General Manager of the footy department, would be in charge of "coaching" as a whole. Not necessarily Richo's boss, but would have a lot of say on the coaching group as an outsider. He is closer to the action so he'd have a better idea of the coaches performance than Amee...
