Re: Something old, something new.
I’m sure we can all agree Seb’s been good the last season and a bit but he and Crouch aren’t our future, let’s focus on our young core of mids!

Re: What is our best line up?
We need 2 tall forwards.. I like the King & Caminiti combination, with Membrey the hybrid.
That would release Owens to the midfield.
Webster is a lock when fit, as is Billings…agree Jones would be a handy sub but he’s never fit (in the rehab group yet again today).

Re: Is it time to play Row as a Key forward
Rosanna Marshall lacks forward craft..he’s a follower more than a pure ruckman, hence our interest in De Koning.

Re: Nick Walsh Quits
It’s a shame Nick’s gone, he’s a ripping bloke. The recurrence injuries are a big concern plus the long term back issues with Hotton & McLennan. Looking outside the square, with Misson having his hands full with footy manager business, I wonder if Sean Dempster may take over from Walsh? Interest...

Re: Playing finals
Where we finish will depend on how we can improve our forward 50 efficiency. Currently ranked 17th, if We can become more of a threat forward of centre, this will go a long way in allowing us to compete against the big boys. I’d love to see the King/ Caminiti combo..thus releasing Mitch to be a mid ...

Re: Our fwd set up long term
I like King and Caminiti as the tall targets, Membrey as the hybrid type..maybe need a fit Billings for his foot skills. Butler & Higgins with Gresham starting mid…Owens alternating between forward and mid with Hill going to the wing opposite Wood. Byrnes has been ok but a fair gap still between...

Re: the difference between this saints team and those from recent years.
If you drill into how this improved performance has occurred, we need to look at the broad actions that have taken place. For starters, getting an elite senior coach & assistant coaches, which have implemented professional, organised training and general standards. BJ Goddard has given us more d...

Re: Liam Stocker
If we had a fully-fit team, there would be quite a struggle for three backline places among five players: Webster, Paton, Coffield, Stocker and NWM (Howard, Wilkie, Battle and Sinclair are of course all sacrosanct). To my way of thinking, Webster and NWM are ahead of the rest by a fair margin. So t...

Upcoming friday night game off a 5 day break. How do you approach match committee? For me, you make some changes and rest a few. I expect to see a few (managed) in the outs this week including Philippou. I doubt they’ll be any changes…we had a clean bill of health after the Carlton game & there...

Re: Whispers of Bing to Pies
I can't see for the life of me why we'd ever want him. I must confess that I have never even been totally sold on Max. Undoubtedly, he's terrific at winning the ball inside the forward 50, and is amazingly good for a big man when the ball's on the ground. But, like St Nick before him,I wouldn't put...

Re: Ben Paton.( Poor)
When Jimmy Webster is fit he plays!
Unfortunately Paton can’t be trusted with ball in hand.
It’s a shame Connelly hasn’t come on as he’s got speed and is dual sided.

Re: Saints are the real deal
We're not quite there yet, but we're getting closer. Still a couple of players short. We still need a quick dynamic midfielder who can play inside and outside, and a forward/ ruck. I know it could be Hayes, but he's only 194cm. Caminiti, Owens, Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager, Byrnes , Bytel, King, can...

How about picking Tom Highmore this week! Why my brilliant Shane? Because he is keen and firing, and mostly because we will have an all-SA back line playing in front of their own - proving a point ! The only issue with your plan here is, that Tom Highmore is from Canberra, not SA. He played 1 year ...

Re: Improved Accuracy
You don’t trade away match winners..Max has only played under Ratten & Richardson…double & triple teamed due to slow ball movement.
He’s worked his ass off and will form a terrific combination with Caminiti, Owens & Phillipou!
