Re: Why False Optimism Is Demented And Dangerous

The club has gotten rid of about 1/5 of the playing list and most of the senior coaches this off-season. They are clearly doing something about a problem, so why can't people be optimistic about it? Should we continue to bag the club even as they make changes? You can't be serious. The only player ...

Re: Draft guess 1st pick

I would go Smith

His playing style is almost Judd-esque and he breaks lines better than Rozee and Rankin

He is fierce in his attack at the ball, and also a tackling machine.

He is a beautiful kick of the ball too...and he is from Vic

Re: More like it

However, if you believe, as I do, that the club is clearly getting its s*** together (imo made clear by a plethora of off-season additions off the field and a clear shift in direction), then power to you as well! Why silence someone for positivity? The same negativity was coming from all angles pri...

Re: Ten players for 2

God I'd love that trade to happen... but even the Gold Coast aren't desperate enough to take that list of duds....pity

The funniest thing is if they did take those players, they would finish bottom in 2019 instead of second bottom.

Re: Should we let Newnes explore elsewhere?

If Newnes was traded to another club. his absence would have no affect on the team, at all. He won't be going anywhere, he'll be like Geelong's Menzel, no one wants him so he stays put. Agree - although I strongly believe Newnes leaving would make a difference - in the positive. Younger players lik...

Re: Should we let Newnes explore elsewhere?

Many Newnes fans on here - not sure how or why...all you have to do is watch him play. It's important to pretend that the player we're discussing is wearing another jumper - say Newnes played for Brisbane for example - not St Kilda Now ask yourself: "Do I want this player wearing a Saints jumpe...

Re: Hickey to Wet Coke

They wouldn't even want or need him if Natanui was injured and Lycett left. Remember that. We did very well to get pick 39 for an average ruckman that could barely get a game in a bottom 6 side. Plus it frees up 600k. Win win. Why do posters just explode on here without analysing the situation corr...
