Your mail is terrible.
Billings will be announced this week as part of the future fest.

I am waiting to see if Markworth is part of Future Fest (fingers crossed)

You hope in your heart of hearts that maybe your great grand child will live to see the saints win their second flag!

Questions?: - Siposs (didn't come on) - Roberton (not up to great standard of last year) - Jones (worked hard and thanks for the service) - TDL (???) - Lee (showed glimpse but didn't see improvement) - Schneider (injuries made an big impact) - Simpkin (not quite up to it) - Milera (going home) - Gw...

Improved/lead from the front: - Riewoldt - Hayes - Delaney (just what we needed) - Newnes (great year) - Dunstan (Next Lenny) - Billings (so much class) - Steven (great returning from injury) - Armitage (stood up when not injured) - Wright (stood up when not injured) - Dempster (very solid down back...

At the end of the coverage of the game Lenny grabbed CJ who hugged someone special and they headed down the race together.

Thank CJ. You always worked hard and played to the best of your ability. no one can ask for anything more.

We would need a really good deal to consider trading Rhys. We have so many with potential up forward (Lee, Stanley, Sipposs, White and Bruce who I thought played the 3rd tall very well). i would give them all another year to see who comes through.

After White's improved VFL form and solid debut combined with Patton's injury, I am really hoping we go for Petracca with one. I'd love to watch this kind of team play a year of footy, developing and improving: B: Dempster, Delaney, Geary HB: Fisher, Bruce, Webster C: Riewoldt, Armitage, Wright HF:...

Great stories!

Thanks.

Offer him an off field role for next year.

Make the end of the year easier - Petracca in the 2014 draft and see what comes of White, Lee and Siposs. Locks Boyd is as full forward for GWS next year. I feel more comfortable deciding of forwards in 12 months time. Who knows, if those three plus Bruce and Stanley come on we may be needing a back...

Instead of just mindless bagging Stanley "He hardly takes marks on a fast lead' (which is a completely meaningless statement - he's taken a lot of contested marks that way) Yes that quote from Plug was plain wrong - I agree with you that Stanley this year has taken many marks (contested and no...

A lot of comments on the ABC coverage of the GWS about Boyd wanting to return to Melbounre and how good a fit he would be for the saints.

It would be terrible is GWS (who have soooo much talent on their books) end up with Petracca!!!! Their game against the cats showed some really promising signs. I think they will win one more. We could get up over the suns (though less likely up there) which would mean that it comes down to us and t...

Great to see Big Boy have a fantastic game for the Hawks. His dominance in the ruck and some crucial grabs in the last quarter played a major role in the Hawks coming through.

Glad to see him having success. Looks like the deal could be a win for both clubs.

I saw the Sydney/GWS games a few weeks ago. Patton(seniors) looked far better than Boyd (in the reserves). Patton was a really dominant big man gaining big marks all over the ground.

Retire: Hayes, Maister, Jones, Schneider Delist: Dunnell, TDL Trade/delist: Simpkin Possible trades if the price is right: Siposs, Lee, Geary, Milera, Gwilt Also think Ray is less than a year away from being out of our best side. Markworth entitled to one more year. If he has not come up by this tim...

How has stanley's game (and next few weeks) impact on our rebuild. I wonder if this could sway the reciters towards Petracca. If - Stanley continues and shows he can play the tippet type of role - Hickey plays the ruck/forward role similar to Cox - Bruce works hard on providing a third option - Spen...

Means that we can head into pre-season on a positive note. As opposed to the death spiral that we were on.

Completely agree

I would take pick 22 for Geary in a heartbeat!

I went to the open session at Bellerive Oval on Friday and was concerned with what I saw. While the event was promoted as 1:30 - 2:30 the players and coaches didn't turn up until 1.45. Then they slowly crossed the oval and went into the rooms for the next 20 minutes. No waving to the fans, no "...

Do we assume that all others (with the exception of Roo) are on thin ice??

My current team would be: Geary Delaney Dempster Webster Fisher Gilbert Montagna Hayes Newnes Armitage Riewoldt Schneider Billings Stanley Curren Foll Hickey Steven Dunstan Bench Wright Acres Weller Sub Savage Emerg: Templeton Longer Bruce Ross in 2015 - No Fisher, Hayes and possibly Schneider Trade...

Anyone watched Cameron closely this year? Been average at best and is not the sort of key/power forward I'd have at the top of our shopping list. I watched GWS on the weekend and Cameron was average. Patton was the one who really stood up in the forward line. Jacksh looked really good in the back l...

I would upgrade all four.....plenty of room after retirements and getting rid of all the spuds... correct. Could easily clean out 8 players at season end. CJ, Milera, TDL, Maister, Fisher, Schneider, White, Siposs, Lee, Markworth, Gwilt. Take your pick! I think CJ and TDL will not be here next year...
