Take Petracca at 1.
Then get Reece McKenzie if he's still available. (Forward/Ruck, solves the Stanley dilemma.)

He's 106kg so could play in his first year - but is very raw (from what I've read).

I think it does. This idea that we will finish last anyway so what does it matter if we lose by 5 goals or 15 is rubbish IMO. Lets pretend Cameron was interested in us or WB next year. If we finish last with a percentage of 45% and probably one to three wins and they finish 14th with 9 wins where would you go. I would take the WB in a heartbeat because we would have still been going worse than this year. Its important we occasionally stay competitive. Yep we got smashed many times this year but we also had a couple of great wins. Got to keep the supporters and potential players a little excited.

Re: Stick With Petracca
My kid had about 5 other Saints supporters in his class and now 2 have dropped off since the start of the year both Swans now. The danger of being uncompetitive can have very long term consequences. We want to be offering hope to the people ready to pay their memberships and paying sponsors. I know my motivation to attend games wasn't high this season and my son was the only one in the family that made use of his membership with me. He wouldn't come to games that he thought we would lose even. I think we are pretty much the norm. If it costs us $100 000 ever game that doesn't meet 20 000 people we might be very poor by the end of the year.plugger66 wrote:Bunk_Moreland wrote:plugger66 wrote:HitTheBoundary wrote:Take Petracca at 1.

Re: Stick With Petracca
I know of a few younger Sainters who lost interest this season and don't sound too keen to follow through next year. The only way to attract new supporters and sponsors is to win, or at least be competitive in losses..just like business, people don't buy crappy products or services.gringo wrote:My kid had about 5 other Saints supporters in his class and now 2 have dropped off since the start of the year both Swans now.

Re: Stick With Petracca
Petracca sounds exactly who we are looking for, a class player who's not bringing any baggage/politics from another club. We'd be crazy not to snap him up!

Hi Pluggs, yes I agree re the importance of being able to sell the supporters some excitment, but more importantly... hope.plugger66 wrote:Lets pretend Cameron was interested in us or WB next year.

I realise your example above is just that, a theoretical example.
But regardless,
we have a plan,
we are building a very exciting list.
We will shortly be going to places on the field and off the field.
Any young gun's manager would be able to work that out. Going to the Saintas should be a very easy sell IMHO.
(And which other club can seal a deal, with that offer of the photo opportunity with you, down at the Junction...?

The Pet only has a 3.0 20m sprint to his name.
But still if the Pet ends up a Travis Boak type thats a bloody good player.
Re: Stick With Petracca
would've said that about the Dogs after last year too, the fact that they were disappointing this year just shows that it's a long and winding road back to competitiveness.Dave McNamara wrote:
