We wanted Ladhams but we were never going to get him. Didn’t rate Xerri, Campbell was always the next pick So why then did we try and get Xerri if we didn't rate him? well we didnt rate him to the level of what North was asking... which wasnt that much.. we would have paid up if we did rate him hig...

I really think this needs to be empathized and restated. From the age.com.au Earlier on Monday, St Kilda announced that dual best and fairest winner Seb Ross had re-signed for a further two seasons. The midfielder was an unrestricted free agent after 10 years’ service with the club. “We’re really p...

Nah but he failed the psych test.

I mean...what a load of pseudo scientific bulls___.
No doubt the club payed big bucks for the moron snake oil salesman who made that report

anyone able to fill out the top 20?
Billings etc?

Good list, appreciate the work :) Should Dunstan be in the "Changes" list? Pretty sure it is confirmed that he is not being offered a new contract. That means we will have lost 7, although Heath and Sharman were added mid year so our net less is really 5. My guess is that 2 more will go, w...

Hawthorn made a few blunders You missed Elstone, Muston, maybe Ladson too… Having said that, those players were expected to go there in the draft and were predictable selections. But they got a few right too, more importantly Hodge, Mitchell, Roughead, Franklin, Lewis, Birchall, Rioli and so on… Th...

Yes good news.

JB is a loyal saint. Seems public knowledge that he will be on significantly less than his last contract.
A real professional and sets good standards.

Lets hope his best footy is in front of him because at his best he is a very good player.

would expect us to pick up another ready made tall defender, having discarded Carlisle and Clav.
I assume they have someone in mind

Best two players in the comp right now and Melbourne and Bulldogs the best two teams by some way IMO, despite the Bulldogs few weeks of wobbles at the end of home and away.

Yes it was the worst recruiting decision in history, because it is not a case of "hindsight heroes". Everyone was saying it at the time, and anyone could see it. Petracca monstered the TAC cup *as an underager* as a forward, then mostered it as a midfielder in his draft year. He was the mo...

ISkeptic, I wonder if he was picked on merit for those last two games..but then the soup has many a varied pea swimming in it. really we had barely any fit players. And to be honest, he was travelling a bit better than Connelly if you want to talk merit... one could argue that Connolly has shown pr...

collectively the bulldogs are the biggest stages for frees in the conp. i have. no doubt they train for drawing high contact frees. beverage is a win at all costs type of guy.

Sam Skinner apparently tearing it up at SANFL level since moving to CHB.
I think there are a couple of others at state level doing ok as well.

Would not be the first KPD to get plucked from state leagues and do well. KPDs seem to develop a little later than others.

Port have a lot of key outs. Their injuries are worse than ours: Gray, Butters, Rozee, Duursma, Fantasia That is 5 clear best 22 and indeed 5 very very good players out. If we bring attitude, we should be too strong for their depleted line up. Gresham Paton Higgins Hannaberry Clark Coffield Not a b...

Great work Tom Highmore to get 4 votes from one coach and 3 from the other.
Thought Wilkie was a miracle but we seem to have repeated the same formula for the same result!

We have many other Coodabeen stories, more than most clubs

Don't know...
Tambling over Franklin
Fiora over Pavlich

Those two alone have most teams (including us) covered.

McCartin over Petracca is worse then those two. Seriously.

Owens really seems to be progressing very well.
Windhager also played but seems he was quiet.
But two good academy prospects who will likely fall in a good range, i.e. outside the top 20.

Although Owens may be moving up draft boards!

Time to move on from Geary.

We DON'T NEED another mid. Need a ruck back-up quick smart. Roma is having plantar fascia issues, and it's not good to push him too hard until it's resolved. Remember Luke Ball and osteitis pubis? Ryder isn't young, we don't know how long he has left. The Paul Hunter/Shaun McKernan experiment hasn'...

I dont think it was lucky. We were the better team for the last 3 quarters. GC got 3 in a row in the 3rd but that was a pretty good little run from the umpires for all 3... we were the better team clearly overall

Ross has been a big out. His run would have helped. Wood has been useless.

Didnt we pick him for his "great character"
Now he playing reserves grade footy and is punching people behind play?
Yes. Great work Trout.

Will get 6.

They have no idea about how to get him back on the park.

Unfortunately he is finished.
