This time last year probably no one predicted that collingwood would have chosen that young
Brodie fella over Jolly.

Re: Farren Ray
there's lots of fringe players,and the second 14 or so players have been the critisism for years.
there's opportunity for young players and hopefully they will get the chance ahead of the older ones
when its almost a toss of the coin decision particually when we are openly "rebuilding".

Re: Jimmy and John and 'that' day...
I was at the game that day on the fence next to the stk race it was well and truly behind play.We lost the game.
mumblings around at the time about greening & O'Dea's wife but nothing public, probably crap.

Re: Reports saints will sign Jolly
Jolly was offered to stay at Collingwood but told as backup to grundy,they see that as the future he wanted to be no.1 so decided to leave. Hudson joined as a ruck coach then they decided to put him on the list. I believe Gardner & King were good for us a couple of years ago but they were taking...

Re: Captain J. Geary 2014?
I dont get to see as much footy lately(no more foxtel+ work) so I cant see/judge our next captain.
Leigh Matthews said Goddard wasn't captain material,so who is?
From memory Robert Harvey had his worst 2 seasons with injury as captain of a not too good team
(and probably not elite medical support).

Re: It's Time....Line In Sand Moment
I think the timing of Lyons departure made it harder also,several new coaches that year meant we didn't get a go at the frontrunners we didn't know we needed a new coach until he left.Watters is probably doing the best he can with whats available,I doubt he'll still be there when we make another gra...

Re: Emma Quayles Draft Guide
I read somewhere recently that about 4-5 clubs have a specialist indiginous development coach/person,maybe we need to look in that direction going forward.

Re: Hickey
I too thought of MacIntosh for 36,not bad, Gardner & King worked well for us,in the past, but the fact is here we are again needing ruck stocks
I think we need to recruit another long term prospect and play them,and develop them,ahead of playing older types.The older types become back up.

Re: Another "Super Draft"!
It still poses the question,do you recruit the best to fill a hole ,play him to fit a spot forever,or recruit the best talent ,
not play him ,he cracks the its and leaves.
It might mean paying overs initially but cheap long term.

Re: Why can't we make the eight in 2013...
win a few more games that are winnable, those close loses, when it's all said and done we get the ball inside 50 but dont kick goals,
old blokes older, need to recruit a couple, other teams improve, similar to this year lf we fall into 8 won't go far.
Hurts to say it though.

Re: this about sums it up- Baum
It is true. Really it's the same for us supporters:-
players we end up with ,we hope will be an improvement,
players we lose weren't good enough,or were lured by a pot of gold,
and any delistings- thanks for the effort ,
love em or hate em while they're wearing a saints jumper we'll support them.

Just on fox news reported 4 years worth over 3 mill. No way we can match that and recruit other players.How much is Ess paying their other players? We never have salary cap room.
