Yes, it does smack of jobs for the boys, but in reality what Roughy brings is 'in your face' honesty, the no bullshyte kind of stuff. I suspect that he might have helped turn the careers of not just a few players around at the Hawks.
Fantastic for us and thank you Saints, another step in the change-up from the last 6 years. And for mine, Roughy wouldn't have been interested if it had no substance to it. This could be considered to be a master stroke in the next 6 years, who knows?

Re: Roughead could do for Saints what Hodge has done for Lions
OK, so the consensus is that Roughead is no longer capable of playing at the elite level - nonetheless I would argue that if he were able to play another year, his value to contribute to the improvement of St Kilda's young talent would be so much greater than providing this support off-field. He is a really inspirational player and like Luke Hodge would give the team a winning edge, especially in close games.
I would not be at all surprised if during the pre-season the adrenaline kicks in and he decides to pull the boots back on, here's hoping!

Re: Roughead could do for Saints what Hodge has done for Lions
How would we fit him into next years forward line? especially if Battle goes back forward, as has also been discussed here. I like the idea thoughSanctorum wrote: ↑Wed 04 Sep 2019 11:23am OK, so the consensus is that Roughead is no longer capable of playing at the elite level - nonetheless I would argue that if he were able to play another year, his value to contribute to the improvement of St Kilda's young talent would be so much greater than providing this support off-field.

Re: Roughead could do for Saints what Hodge has done for Lions
Roughead can pretty well play in either defence or attack, if for example Carlisle is traded away he would be a rock in the backline, and of course pinch hit in the ruck, he is a great old fashioned "follower".barneyboyz wrote: ↑Wed 04 Sep 2019 11:30am

Re: Roughead could do for Saints what Hodge has done for Lions
I'd rather have Roughead on the field next year than off it.
Reckon he's got more to offer St K/Sandy in that space for the next 12 months.

<1 day ban for commenting negatively on a poster>
POSTER INTERACTION RULE
Vigorous debate and even some friendly banter on St. Kilda Football Club matters is encouraged on the Saintsational Fan Forum, as long as respect is shown for every poster and all opinions.
No matter how much you may disagree, or dismiss the worth of any opinion posted, or dismiss the worth of the poster in your own eyes, your response must be always be respectful and polite. Argue the facts. Post an opposing opinion. However ONLY make football related commentary on the football content. Do NOT ever make any form of negative commentary about posters or posters.
Any post that negatively relates to or references, or baits (directly or indirectly) another poster, or posters, or group of posters in the Saintsational Fan Forum or leads to bickering to the level of an ongoing dispute, will be deemed a breach of rules and the penalty will be either a 1 DAY BAN or 1 WEEK BAN.
The poster who reported me shouldn't be here.
