Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
I would take him. This is our chance to show the footy world we are a Great club. We have the leaders and culture to turn his life and career around. If he is willing to put in the hard yards then it's a no brainer. And to those morons that are saying it's Lovett mk II well that is nonsense. We wou...

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
I don't care about Callum Twomey's strike rate. He's either making this up, or...he's doing a favour for Thomas's family and friends, testing the water. Seeing how supporters would react. Twomey would be on X and this forum, gauging reaction. There's nothing in this. TT is more trouble than he's wo...

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
We also forget the bloke is 23 which fits our age demographic like Liam Henry (22), Owens (20), Windhager (20), NWM (21), Phillipou (19), Dow (24), Battle (26), King (23), Stocker (24), Wilson and Schoenmaker (18). This is the core that is going to take us further than before.

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
According to Cal Twomey we are linked to him and he announced it on his podcast Gettable. He’s usually right, and predicted Paddy Dow this time last year and he’s here. I say get him in. Like it’s no draft picks to get him. Just straight salary. We got a good indigenous community with Aunt Katrina a...

Re: I would like everyone's honest opinion
I think with all the personnel out we are in trouble and look unlikely to beat them there. Battle and Wilkie will be on Hawkins and Cameron because Ross will more likely play Schoenmaker because of Dougal Howard’s injury, so we are screwed there. You could argue Cordy will play over Schoenmaker whic...

Re: Training Reports
Some more things to add for todays training report: 1. Dougal kicking bullets in the drills. 2. Collard is in Perth with Covid. Make with that what you will. Is it because he’s homesick and doesn’t want to come home or he’s genuinely sick? Could mean Garcia might be debuting round 1 with Butler miss...

Re: Will Ross Continue to Play the Kids?
Been reading a lot of posters here and on BF praise Ross for playing the kids last year in support of their argument Ross is now a proven developer of kids as part of the wider argument about his ability to rebuild a list from the ground up into a flag team. As we know he only had a win rate of 33%...

Re: Arie Schoenmaker’s club punishment
This is a rumour and I’m not one to believe them but I did read on BigFooty by one of the posters that Schoonerdeleter was late for training one time without explanation and a player had to go pick him up. Maybe that has something to do with it? AGAIN only a rumour and not fact. It would be nice if ...

Re: Lance Collard
I can confirm that Lance wanted to leave WA and really wanted to join a Victorian club. There was at least one other Victorian team that was very keen to recruit him, given how impressed they were with his maturity and self-drive. But the Saints got in first, and the rest is history. Good to hear!

Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?
History shows the hard line works. Only with a list that is in the premiership window and with a group of mature match hardened and conditioned bodies. Ross failed in his only attempt at a rebuild and one of the greatest criticisms he was receiving in his final year at Freo was he only had a one-si...

Re: If we were to win the 2024 flag is 100,000 members a possibility???
Can we win the 2024 premiership? - Potentially. A lot has to go right. Steele for Brownlow, King for Coleman and Wilson for rising star. Rowan, Steele, Sinclair and Wilkie are all Australian.
100k members? Without a chance no way.

Re: Will Keeler be the real deal??
Ross has had plenty of players fail to develop under his coaching, in fact he is notorious for not being a developmental coach (hence the role of Carroll) in days gone by, it’s been reported that he hardly speaks to guys outside the top 26 players - especially if he doesn’t rate them I’d argue diff...

Re: Will Keeler be the real deal??
The kid has got some serious X factor.
I’ve watched a few of his VFL games this year and he turns it up. I hope he debuts this year and gets a string of games going and tag team with Marshall just like Marshall and Ryder and teams were scared of those two.

I hope we go deep into finals. Knock off Melbourne, get a win over Port and Brisbane as we are due for one and take it to Collingwood. I hope we win that “special cup” as RTB has put it.
