If he gets a go elsewhere and we pull up just short everyone will be saying we should have got hold of him just like Cousins.

not a criminal at all.....hope someone gives him a go....he'd be woth an extra 1000 bums on seats imhfo....

I didn't mean it that way, gringo. Scotty has dealt with wayward kids (and Fev in many ways is a big kid) and hence he would be perfect if the Saints go done that path.

He is a big kid alright, I hope he gets another go because as big a stuff up as he is he was an A grade forward and would still have 2 years left at least. Maybe Hamill could be his minder and have him hand dig holes for swimming pools in his spare time.

He's ready now... you either want to play him or you don't... don't know if we need aging midfielders on our rookie list for depth.

Don't get me wrong... the guys a winner and I was disappointed we didn't get him in the draft.

Is there a point to rookie listing him though

Think we are able to promote 2 rookies without placing anyone on LTI with how they have structured our list this year.

Will also be on a much cheaper wage, so helps out our salary cap.

With Hamill his minder, he will be right in 2 weeks.....

Bit of late interest in a couple of Werribee lads. Believe the Saints have sounded out Kyle Hartigan

Dees and Saints are a couple of clubs to look at Sandy's @jamesmag23. One bloke who would be a shrewd pick. Big body, wins clearances.

I believe we have one spot left on the senior list so whoever performs best or meets a need will be able to be promoted when required.
