Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Really goes to show what sort of opinions are posted on here. A few were saying he'd end up being a really good player and wondered why he wasn't taken in the main draft a couple of years ago.
Posting 20 years of holey crap!

Not sure I can remember posting anything about joe baker least I don’t think I did lol.kosifantutti wrote:I'm not sure if Saintly66 is an ITK or just posts things he half heard a month ago.

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
They didn't give him much of a chance. Kind of like they didn't give Hutchins a chance and now plays every week at west coast.

With all due respect Hutchings was terrible at Sandy showed very little. Met him and he was a great kid but was a slow as a wet week and did not win a lot of the footy.Jacks Back wrote:They didn't give him much of a chance.

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Hutchings and Nicholas Winmar came to the Saints at the same time. I thought Hutchings was the better of the two (more a natural footballer). One played seniors with the saints and one didn't get a look in. Guess who's still playing AFL?Junior wrote:With all due respect Hutchings was terrible at Sandy showed very little.

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
NOK looked like he had something but to not give him a go is pretty poor when you consider some of the current players have had heaps of chances and done SFA.

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
This has been my thinking the whole time, don’t see the point in the coach giving him the run around at certain stages either.Jacks Back wrote:NOK looked like he had something but to not give him a go is pretty poor when you consider some of the current players have had heaps of chances and done SFA.

I thought he had been delisted with an option to be recalled as a rookie (assuming the conversation above is not true).kosifantutti wrote:I'm not sure if Saintly66 is an ITK or just posts things he half heard a month ago.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Went to school with him and gresham and O'Kearney was always considered the better player, we were all shocked when he wasnt picked in the main draft.

I know someone who taught at the same school, and he was of the same opinion.

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Be careful what you wish for mate, I suggested that a few months ago and people jumped down my throat for knowing nothing. He was touted as a top 10 pick at one stage then fell away for whatever reason.Brunswicksainter wrote:Went to school with him and gresham and O'Kearney was always considered the better player, we were all shocked when he wasnt picked in the main draft.
Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
With NOK gone where does that leave us with rookie picks?

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Maybe we are taking Hartung. That is why NOK got chopped. I'm suprised Wright is still on the list.

Bains brilliance (!) again
2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Re: Where to for Nick O'Keaney.
Very disappointed to hear we've delisted NO'K.
Can really play, though I did worry a little re his lack of size.
The good news though, delisting Nick means we're clearly not going to pick up Hartung... he lacks size and he can't play.
