What about Matt Crouch?

Where did he go in that draft?? I remember the three of them and Connor from Freo all in a basket

Again
Then and now still
I'd take Luke

Hmm
Opinions change don't they? But most I'm still happy with

By the way ... I know of three previous Saints #7s that rate Luke VERY highly and very happy he wears #7.

And while we are at future planning stage (given this year is over in terms of finals contention) I would love to see Meatball Minchington plays as a half back flank. His foot skills would tear structures apart from there!

Ask Freo fans who they rate higher Pavlich vs Riewoldt
The popular opinion
Pavlich

Ask non biased supporters of those not in purple glasses
Most will say Riewoldt

To find the answer
Guess what... We go to the evidence

As soon as there is a bias, popular opinion is just that ... Popular

Donald and Republican Party have some popular opinions in the US within their party
Correct?
Opinions of small biased samples are not popular opinions.

And as saints relatives, sometimes you shed a few tears mourning the losses.

I love this club.

I hope everyone here is as excited for the future as I am.

2016 Season
1 Port Suffered a heavy knock after a bruising tackle on Hartlett and had limited impact. 4
2 WB One of many inside midfielders who struggled to get their hands on the ball. 4
3 Coll Tackled brilliantly (seven) and had four clearances and three inside-50s to keep midfield wheels turning. 7
4 Hamstring.
5 GWS Started with all guns blazing but then diminished influence. 5
6 Melb Good ball-winner but tapered at the end. 6
7 NM Whole-hearted effort in midfield but a few late kicks missed the target. 6
8 WCE Not incisive enough in midfield battle. 3
9 Ess Won ball well and had high handball to kick ratio. 6
10 Frem Steady input from midfield although dipped in second and third quarters. 5
11 Adel Started well but usage below par. Early missed shots didn’t help. 4
12 Carl Low-key but kept grinding away in middle. 5
14 Geel Solid and honest game in the midfield. 5
15 GCS Chugged along but didn’t do any damage. 4
16 Ess Toiled away in packs and the bulk of his disposals were handballs. 5
17 Melb Tackling work and determination in packs made him a handy contributor. 5
18 WB Impressive midfield performance in terms of pressure and creativity. 7
19 NM Like several teammates couldn’t make an impact in midfield. 3

2015 Season
1 GWS Looked to be pitted against Treloar and was just OK. 4
2 GCS Relished midfield workload and a constant generator. 7
3 Coll Solid and consistent effort in midfield. 6
5 Ess Solid game and showed great work-rate. Lack of right foot power a worry. 6
6 WB Blue-collar worker in midfield. Not a big player but did his bit. 5
7 Adel Powerful midfielder struggled to impact the game. 3
8 WCE Tagging role on Priddis which he found hard. Lacks zips and may need rest. 3
9 Bris Big second quarter and a key midfield driver. Off with head knock briefly. 7
10 Rested.
11 Melb In and out of the game, but did a few nice things. 4
13 WB Matched on Wallis most of the night. 5
14 Ess Sub came on last term and handy with a goal thrown in. 2
15 GWS Shiel got away early. Not an incisive player. 4
16 Rich Looked sharp and won the ball inside packs. Tackled well. 7
17 Melb Had the better of duel with Jones in first half. 6
18 Port Had job of tracking Gray and found him hard to contain. 5
19 Soreness.
20 Calf.
21 Geel Solid performer in midfield. 6
22 Syd Sub came on in third quarter and won some touches. 3
23 WCE Worked hard inside and out packs. 5

2014 Season
1 Melb Did the lot with tackles and hard ball gets. Looked like he had been there forever. 7
2 GWS Not as prominent as first game but still a meaningful contributor. 5
3 WCE Excellent work in close and went head to head with Priddis. They played wide. 7
4 Adel OK but not as influential as in earlier rounds. 5
5 Ess Busy and creative early. A solid contributor. 5
6 Bris Bored in hard all game. 5
7 Concussion.
8 Carl Mainly used handball and was usually creative. Heavy knock but kept going. 5
9 GCS Did some nice things, but was quiet overall. 4
11 Coll Good game in midfield and up forward. 4
12 Port A quality performer in middle. 6
13 Geel Quiet day and had attention to a shoulder. 3
14 Shoulder.
15 Rich Quiet day. 3
16 Carl Kept working hard. Copped heavy hit to ribs. 4
17 NM Handy without having huge impact on game. 4
18 Frem Strong game despite hurting his shoulder along the way. 6
19 GCS Not a big day and may be feeling the pinch of a long debut season. 3
20 Shoulder.
21 Shoulder.
22 Shoulder.
23 Shoulder.
