Heaps of rumours but pretty clear as good as GWS are going to be a lot of talent is coming back to Victoria. GWS knew that from day 1 hence why their tactics heard Graeme Allan talk about it for 90 minutes last year. They want to control the draft for next 5 years by releasing players out of the clu...

Would you ..when 8 clubs are after you ? Guaranteed to play home in Victoria every 2nd week be paid double due to :
Scully , Mumford, Shaw , Ward , & Cameron in the future years.

Yep in twelve months Boyd will be playing somewhere else .
Jaksch , Orourke , Shiel & probably Plowman .

They are missing a 2nd Ruckman , we have 4 . Rhys buddy you are on soft ground.

Hope some are with Saints.

Just learning how to kick it through the middle of the ground fwd is probably the biggest problem We are just rubbish really... As rubbish as Richmond when they were crap and Melbourne also.... Luckily the system allowed them to just become contenders as matter of course, as we are supposed to? It'...

Jones should not be in the side had enough seen enough . We don't have a midfield ... Steven not fit enough Hayes is finished anyone who says different are you kidding ? Great player but finished. Selection poor again ..Schneider should be the sub nearly every week . Play Dunnell Play Markworth We a...

I disagree stronly. Hawthorn play 4 games in Tassie and their membership base has gone from strength to strength. And besides, we have no choice. If we do slide down the ladder we will be in big trouble financially. We need to embrace NZ and make it work. We also need to show the Docklands that if ...

Eddie already saying on the radio that Collingwood have plenty of cap space and a 5 year deal would be doable. :roll: oh Eddie must have Maths at broadmeadows. :lol: Cloke 8-) Pendlebury :roll: Beams :mrgreen: Reid. 8-) Brown :wink: Swan :D Sidebottom. :?: Grundy. Need 2 salary caps . Saints would ...

Better still Jeremy Cameron won't sign with Giants long term contract .
Saints offer him large $ x 5years 2015 no one will get near it
Draft best players available this year .

Boak, Hartlett, Winguard, Wines, Trengove, pittard, Lobbe, and more They made their selections count Don't think they missed.... Yup they have lots of talent. They fell hard after the 2007 GF and cashed in with their picks. Some savvy trading getting Ebert 8-) South Australian, Polec 8-) South Aust...

ORourke Plowman Jaksch all uncontracted so will be Josh Bruce situation if any of these want to get opportunity and payed more $ saints are the best fit plus finishing low means Gws have to deal as all these want to come home to Victoria they won't go the Lions . Really hope they get Lamb can play W...

i agree that the expantion clubs need that leg up to be competitive early on .. but the problem is the leg up they got given in my opinion was far too big ... the sheer ammount of draft pick that they stockpiled has set them on a path to be almost too strong ... now they might not even win a flag i...

In the old days it would always be pinged as a throw. But in recent years it seems to be tolerated. Yesterday there were 4 instances that I noted; three were play-on nothing to see here. The other was a free kick against us for a throw. Can anyone explain the rule please? Nothing wrong with doing i...

[quote="Old Mate"] The 20 players to watch at the NAB AFL U18 Champs WITH the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships starting this weekend, it is a perfect opportunity to make note of some of the talented draft prospects of 2014. Here's a list, in alphabetical order, of 20 players to watch through...

[quote="skeptic"][quote="Con Gorozidis"]Im struggling to see enormous differences in the way we play either. Remember in 2012 we won 12 games in Watters first season. We wont win half that many this year. Ive never been big on coach hype or the coach as a messiah. The good ones a...

I don't understand how people are saying drop Jones. Jonesy has been really good this year , he has done better than half the team and some people want to drop him? Might aswell drop the other half aswell while your at it. My Thoughts In : Dunnel & Saunders Out : Acres & Gwilt :roll: really...

Spenc-aarrhhhhh! I'd be looking at a rest from all playing, and just hit the gym and the track for around six weeks. Hopefully a few AFL games mid-late 2015, then looking for some significant steps in 2016. By the 2018 flag year he'll be a very significant contributor. 8-) Patience is the key with ...

Geez he would have to be really good to be better than Dunstan. He doesn't have the flair of Billings but boy he can play, doesn't fumble, cool under pressure quick hands and is as tough as they come 8-) Like all 3 but Dunstan is Captain . Liked Longer too give him 2 years will be good because he i...

I don't understand this post ! are you saying that if he plays on monday and does no good , he'll get the chop at the end of the season . If you are , i think there are probably 8 guys who will get de-listed before him . no,s. 4, 7 , 8 , 13 , 25 , 31 , 33 , 37 . number 7 will be his call ! the rest...

Sam Fisher - gone James Gwilt - gone Jarryn Geary - certain to get extension Sean Dempster - Expect extension through 2015 Tom Lee - Might have another year Trent Dennis-Lane - gone Sam Dunell - HAS THE SEASON TO PROVE HIMSELF 8-) prefer Jaksch uncontracted at Gws wants to come home.

Try uncontracted gun players like Jaksch Plowman Orourke for a start from Gws
Also a bloke called Sloane is restricted free agent might head home 2015 likes saints very much does Sloane.

So Jones is getting games every week because hes 'popular'? Sounds like same old same old saints. You know sometimes I wonder why I bother. Come down to training. Ask the club for a pass to the pre game warmup. Get to the rooms after the game and see the mood. Get down on the fence and listen to th...

Thought he made only 1 mistake should have rested Riewoldt kept Bruce in team play him forward . Was always going to lose this one and keep Nick for Carlton & Suns games at Etihad . Disappointed with result for sure but if anyone had said the Saints were going to be 3wins 4 losses by round 7 you...

Forward Line: A big concern with Riewoldt in the twilight of his career and no player yet to stand up. Stanley the most likely however he’s not the type you build a forward line around, more a supporting act and has played his best football when playing ruck as part of his game. Lee as a mature rec...

Can't comment on Baldock or Stewart as I never saw either play. From what my dad tells me, he is Tasmanian so might be a hint of bias, Baldock was as good as any player to wear out colours. The Tim Lane article during the week was a super read. He must have been an incredible football player to pla...
