Ground in terrible condition so hard to make calls on players.
Without singling out individual players, I would be worried about our depth.
On that performance I would not consider any of them for seniors next week.
Only positives for me were Walsh continuing to learn the game and Winmar getting some game time.

Is there anyone here that thinks we have drafted well/smart over the last 5/6 yrs??Junior wrote:Ground in terrible condition so hard to make calls on players.

Who are our promising 1st/2nd round draft pick players?
We are relying on late picks and rookies...
I'm not saying that rookies are no good but surely the higher the pick the more quality you inject.
ball banger to give some sense of balance
the geelong VFL side was a powerhouse a couple of years ago but now has only two wins to its name. Add in that we are playing interstate (2 youngsters going over as emergencies) and it's no wonder we are lacking some youth coming through
Kingy is just keeping himself match fit. Disapointing about ptto as he was getting into a little more form. Armo is out, macca, geary are in the firsts. We wasted our first rounder last year.....
But it's good that winmar is getting game time into him. Walsh is a 2011 project.
Would like to hear more about the game. Steven seems to be struggling which is disapointing

for once we picked a guy who has foot skills.

Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell
wasn't he note for his ability to turn it on but also turn it over? Winmars foot skills were up in the top 5 at drafting camp?Bernard Shakey wrote:Heyne has foot skills.Solar wrote:for once we picked a guy who has foot skills.

They didn't look great prior to joining the Saints (from the footage I've seen), but his kicking has certainly improved.Solar wrote:wasn't he note for his ability to turn it on but also turn it over?

glad I'm not going mad! Was one reason (with workrate) that he drifted in the draft.

Wow, a MASSIVE call. I've only seen him play a couple of games for about half a dozen kicks so it is too early for me to make a judgement. I hope you're right. I was pondering "where are our kids??"

Has a long kick, but nowhere near bj.
bj is almost the best most penetrating kick in the AFL.
Heyne may one day develop into something near bj, but to say he rivals bj by foot is absurd and ludicrious.
Lance or James??

So who should the above replace in the team?BigMart wrote:Ours just dont get a game...
Armo, Geary, Steven, McEvoy, Heyne...etc.....all developing in the VFL
Freo, Coll, Ess develop kids in the AFL if they can play
None of the above can play on a man so defence is out of the question.
We are a mature side with few vacancies, the Pies, Freo and Bombers are young developing ones with a poor talent spread.

Heyne had suspect kicking coming to the Saints from memory.
Even still to compare him to BJ's kicking is a very loose call.

How have those teams been going the last 5-6 years?
They've had to gift games to players.
Or are we comparing apples with camels now?

i agree. we need to get game time into heyne. look at travis varcoe. he is just on 22 and already has 62 senior AFL games to his name. how the hell did that happen?Bernard Shakey wrote:From what I've seen at Sandy and his couple of games for the Saints, Heyne rivals BJ by foot.

where is our 22 year old with any more than 30 games? varcoe is the same age as eddy and geary but miles ahead of them or dare i just say miles better than them..
benny mac and heyne look our most likely. lets just give them game time.
I was talking about the last 3-4 years....not now
Armitage <30 games - 4 years
Geary < 30 games - 4 years
Eddy < 30 games - 4 years
McEvoy <20 games - 3 years
Steven 2 Games - 3 years
Lynch 0 Games - 2 years
Stanley 3 Games - 2 years
Heyne 2 Games - 2 years
Winmar - yet to debut
All played 75% of their footy in the VFL

Varcoe was a first round draft pick (#15)
Eddy & Geary were both overlooked in the draft and have had to work their way up via the rookie list.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch.
