Bruce would have stats better than Membrey if he was allowed to settle in the position he thrived in.

Why don't you tell that to Richo.....and to all those managers you know
So I'm not a good supporter because I think a player who has been average for years is considered a B grader?

Once you start getting personal I think you are out of ideas to support your suggestion that Josh Bruce should be on $800,000 PA.

Membrey plays up and down the ground as much as any forward.
Bruce is a key forward who chops out in the ruck a handful of times each game? where else do you think he has played in the past 4 years?

Which of these players has been allowed to settle into one position

If Josh Bruce gets an $800,000 contract, fold the club.

Roberton would be worth $600k, perhaps (if he didn't have his ailment).
He is a huge loss.

Bruce is an okay key forward who is important for structure and can take a spectacular mark and kick his 3-4 goals now and again - and maybe 40 goals over the year. He's carrying an injury at the moment.
When we beat Essendon, Bruce took 3 marks in total, and one spectacular one that made the highlight reel - while his opponent Hurley took a lazy 14 marks! That's 11 more.

Bruce has to be worth up to $400K - at a stretch?

Now you're talkin'. This is good and I'm greatful for people to argue the point and make an effort to educate all of us. Now please let us know if the heat map is from a particular game, a particular year or for their whole careers (and can you please provide a source for the map if it's publicly available).

This was an exercise based on my opinion regarding who I thought were our most important players. I am just a punter with no vested interest on who gets paid what. The problem with some of the posters here on SS is they may not be. By the way, I think you started with the personal insult saying that I'd be laughed at

You seem to be having a crack at a few different posters Scollop?

Are you in a bad place?

Are you going fishing? Teddie troll or King12

And why choose to post a nothing question in this thread? Why not go the other thread where I am 'actually' having a crack? I'll tell you why...you're a troll...I wonder what your next nic is going to be?

What the f***? You are now the caring, empathetic newbie poster who asks if everyone's in a bad place? And then what do you do when they answer. Spare me your bs concern

I'm not a troll.

Just a concerned citizen, nicely reaching out to see if your ok?

Your theory is along way off the mark, I was trying to be nice really, but obviously no point being nice if you are going to throw untruths and abuse my way.

Thanks for your time.

So it was just a coincidence that you turned up just after ted put his new signature up saying he wouldn't engage with the HOH gang?

Yeap, looks that way. What's the HOH gang?

Really not sure what your talking about tbh!

Anyway, good luck with your theory, but I ain't Ted.

I'm not even Roo, so I'm not Roo of Ted, or both put together.

Maybe you should just focus a little more on following the footy a little closer.

All the best to you.

OK thanks, your a charming happy little Saint. I'm not Ted, so once again your judgement is out, no surprise there though really! I won't be kind to you anymore, but hey, your ignoring me anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter!

Any wonder the 'C-man' doesn't rate ya, along with many others by the looks.

Yeah if we weren't paying Hannebry 800k Billings would stay for 400k. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Lol. Whatever Hannebery is on will not effect any contract negotiations for current players or bringing in any new players. Its amazing how Hanners or Richo nearly slip into every thread on here, no matter how obscure the link.
Of course it will have an effect - look at Adelaide's contract negotiation (McGovern and Gibbs) for proof.

So, that's not a no then!

I've been here 5 minutes and have worked out the relationship status of certain posters, pretty smart really.

Probably not but they just about try to outdo each other on the plane of negativity regarding the Saints. If they were anymore negative they would flip the polar caps one day into the not too distant future.


Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.
Total = 1.
