Anyone know anything about Angus Schumacher? Apparently he is training with us this summer hoping to be drafted/picked up somehow. He is an ex-Carlton player, that’s all I know about him. Never heard of him prior. https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-11-12/injurycursed-dog-training-at-blues-cut-power-forw...

The one thing I took from that was
Long to play down back?

Love the message he gave the boys though. It’s exactly what we have needed. The young ones to push the seniors out of their spot. Would love to see Sandy pushing up the ladder in the VFL, with that flowing over to the AFL.

I recall going to the first Football X game and caught the train home to find Dean Rice on the train with us. I was a huge admirer of Dean he was for me an absolute gun of a player in some ways under rated. He asked me how I thought his son went. I felt uncomfortable telling him the truth because I...

King, Bytel, Coffield, Gresham, Billings and Howard become A Graders

We will go nowhere

Please add Ross, Steele and Clark to that list. They have the potential.

No one is mentioning Marshall or Battle?

Based off that sentence, no one picked after pick 50 must be that good. Why even bother?

The Saints need to learn a couple of lessons; Don't risk a very high draft pick on a player with a few question marks on health and question marks on their ability to get super fit On that comment, if you could go back and draft Judd instead of Ball, would you? I know I would. Judd’s shoulders were...

Nope, all our accurate inside information departed with parkeytedbundyflamingo2018

Don’t worry. He is still on BigFooty giving the same nonsense up if you need a quick Ted fix.

The Saints only have themselves to blame for this fixture. We were handed a pretty similar one in 2016, over-achieved and finished 9th and therefore lobbied the AFL for a better fixture. I think the quote Richo used was that “we’ve done our share of the heavy lifting.” The AFL responded, gave us mo...

We can’t touch our first round for next year, as we have already used picks outside the first round.
This means we only have access to 2 x 4th round picks from memory.

That was yesterday and by sam mclure. THIS morning it came out we paid to get him over and was having a medical with us. stay tuned. Yeah, it seems we didn’t promote our interest as much as we did in the lead up to the trade period. The media may have just been slow on the uptake on this one. It ma...

I’d give him a go. He would certainly give the team a massive new dynamic. Especially with the players we have already picked up. Give him a list of clauses for performance and behaviour. Boot him out if he doesn’t meet the criteria. It all starts with a medical. If he can pass that, then sign him u...

I believe people call that a “circle jerk”

Does this mean Searle has no further involvement in the men’s team and just focusses full time on Our AFLW team?

You would hope so. She is their Senior Coach.

Some people are overly sensitive when it comes to this kind of thing. They also chuck a fit if you dare refer to it as ‘men’s cricket’. They need women to know that they are and will always be the B-side. Some egos just can’t handle it 👍 No one on here seemed to have an issue with it being called t...

it is bs. it is the afl. i think the op is just having a joke, so all good. if someone wants to pretend he is a member of the 'woke' brigade (most of us were never asleep) that's also fine, but to expect others to change our language around your own little world view to the extent of renaming whate...

wow this thread is an interesting exchange i’m on the side of a long road trip is good for the soul a really long road trip is even better good on him going drive about bastard now i’m jealous. I’m the same. I’ve done the Stuart hwy up NT a few times, and love it. Especially when the GPS tells you ...

maybe have a new board section called AWFL :) in this site for those fans to post on and read. good on them and all, but this forum is for the st kilda afl club. if we do a collingwood and get a netball team (a far higher standard of competition if you like watching elite female athletes, or in the...

We should reinstate the Moorabbin mud bowl. Nah, I’d prefer jelly Wow. This thread brought out the Neanderthals. Watch those knuckles while they drag on the ground boys. Jelly? Really? Wonder if you'd be so flipant if it was your daughter out there? Just think it's a easy ride and a lot of young bo...

Easiest 15k they'll ever make. How so? Base wage for about 10 weeks So you are just going to ignore all the time and effort for them to get this far? That if they don't actually train for most of the year that they would not get picked? That in playing in this competition they will have sacrificed ...

K*nt is a deadset list clogger. Very lucky not to be delisted IMO Unlike Young, his contract would be far more substantial than a recent draftee on the initial 2 year contract, therefore we would be more unwilling to pay his final 2 years of the contract out just to gain a list spot. I’m sure the c...

Actually really impressed with the club. Only caught wind of this at 1600 on Friday... called but didn’t get through. Left a msg but it said it didn’t work and disconnected. Figured I missed out which was disappointing but then they called me back today and followed through. Certainly didn’t expect...

(Big Footy mock draft - Knightmare) While you have attributed that to Knightmare's Mock Draft, it is I believe may be from his early October Power Ranking. In Knightmares Top 40 Biggy is not there. 21/10/2019 - AFL phantom draft two rounds (post trade period): https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id...

Besides the fact he was AA in his second year.
Something Stuv was never able to do, even at his best.

Yep. I doubt they will even show up to the first draft day, for the first round. Just show up an hour into day 2.
