Obviously not.
Saints asked the question last year, and again this year.
It didn’t ever seem all that firm this year though.
I believe he re-signed a couple of weeks ago at port.

Hill is not a small forward. He is a winger / outside midfielder.

Re: All Australian Contenders

Marshall has been great, and a MASSIVE improvement this year. But in terms of “Best Ruckman 2019”, well behind the best ruckman in Gawn and Grundy. I would go as far as saying he would be happy with top 5. Steele would be top 5 taggers, and Battle has had a good year, but not AA. Not even favourite...

To be fair, I think the folks here at SS have not made enough noise about Battle’s nomination, so a second post is fine by me. Stoked for him. Won’t win, but I have been stoked to have him on board since the start. There are already more posts about Ross Lyon’s sacking within 4 hours. Negative news ...

Re: Changes v Blues

Brown needs to come in. Carlton play tall in their front half. Maybe he'll replace Acres, who looked injured at the end. Webster is the obvious replacement for Webster. I'd put Marshall in cotton wool for the rest of 2019. He's now our most important player, so why risk further injury for two games...

Jones. Both of them?

No rumour, just a fleeting thought for a minute. Apparently we are having a go at getting Zak Jones from Sydney. Uncontracted, but will need to fork over something via a trade. His brother, Nathan Jones is a Free Agent this year. As far as I am aware, not signed yet. Should we make a play for both? ...

Teams don't want steak knives
Also, if GC want Newnes, he is a free agent. They don’t need to trade for him.
If anyone offers anything worthwhile, Saints won’t match.

Re: According to fox Dunstan wants a two year contract

I think in 2 more seasons he will become a restricted free agent. A couple of good seasons will see his worth and next contract balloon upwards. I think that is why he only wants 2 not 3 or more. As to his value - I personally value him highly. - wins clearance ball - wins contested ball - wins the...

Classic hummous? With a basil pesto for contrast? And maybe a beetroot purée for a splash of colour?

It's good news, but unless King puts in a couple of blinders, I would hold off for a bit longer. There's no need to rush him. Agree. He's at that age where he's not really strong enough to play against men. Pre-season is when young guys hit the weights to build muscle, which he really needs. Senior...
