Re: Next Gen Academy

It would be stupid to pay a higher draft price for Biggy than the club rated him at. In business you do not overpay , and if an investment is not working out you cut your losses. The Saints have a tiny draft zone and are thus unlikely to gain the benefit that many clubs can extract from it. With Bi...

Re: Jack Bytel

I just can’t believe some of the trolls in this forum... you give some serious intel from within the club and people are commenting on standard football terms used commonly in the industry and commenting on its literal meaning!!!

Yes, it was needed. If ever our list needed an overhaul it was this year. As long as we don't do this too often I'm on with it. next year we should focus on kids You have obviously missed the point entirely Viscount Jeremiah. Next year we only have our First round pick and a few Forth round picks. ...

Re: Do you honestly think bringing in 5 traded players was the right move?

Do the math Hill in for Steven... we’ll get more years Howard in for Bruce... other end of the grand but no major change to the profile Jones in for Acres... same as the above The only quick fix is Ryder. So let me ask this... are the players traded in representing more value than failed draft pick...

Re: Should Geary follow example of Walker, Hurn and Davis and hand over Captaincy?

You’d be surprised to know how much Jarryn is rated in AFL circles, particularly by those who play against him and especially his opponents. Eddie Betts rates him as one of his toughest opponents! Skill is not just about kicking the ball... that’s one skill amongst many others, that mustn’t be well...

Re: Should Geary follow example of Walker, Hurn and Davis and hand over Captaincy?

I actually reckon Geary stepping down from the captaincy would be a great move. It would remove a lot of ongoing conjecture re his selection/place in the team (FWIW, I reckon hes definitely in our best 22) whilst also allowing someone else to take on the responsibility. I would go left field somewh...

Re: Should Geary follow example of Walker, Hurn and Davis and hand over Captaincy?

Geary should step down from being captain. He is no longer best 22 and will only play when we are hit by injuries.

We need to get as many games into Coffield, Clark, Long, Bytel, Phillips and Patton. These are the guys that will make our backline more daring and potent.

Re: Barwon Heads bonding

Obviously I want all our players injury free but above all else specifically King, Bytel and Marshall. If we are ever going to challenge then these 3 players need to stay healthy and reach their full potential.

Well the consensus is well and truly Yes. I just hope you are all correct. I would like to see a premiership before I meet my maker.
