Please don't mention leon davis around our clubausfatcat wrote:Batnoe wrote:The Saints foot skills as a whole are terrible
His are not... If he wont cost anything it wont hurt...
Half the people here carry on about our kicking efficiency and then a name is mentioned and you bag the crap out of him before he even plays for us..
30 next year yes for a pick we wouldn't use anyway. Personally I would prefer Leon Davis as a upgrade on McAulter or Eddy.
Rumours Saints are keen on Travis Johnstone.

Why the F not ?
Everyone is jumping up and down saying we have to make big calls (we don't) and that we have to improve our bottom 6 players then a player pops up that could replace one of our bottom six (McAulter or Eddy) and proved as much if not more forward pressure and the ability to kick more goals than them for a fairly cheap price and people say "don't mention him"
I mean FFS.....

It is all about improving our bottom tier players, we should play attacking footy, not this negating type...
The players ross usues are well coached and they do a job for him... We only need 1 or 2 years out of these guys as our window is still open
What is an 18yr kid in the 4th round going to offer us for a tilt next year?

I think Johnston would set up our midfield a lot better than L davis.
The guy has great skills just a bit ordinary on the motivation would be my guess. I can see him as a slightly better Farren Ray for us.
We need quality mids and he can play that role, his best is outstanding his worst looks like he's waiting for someone else to do the work.
Sign him on one year and get him going.
I heard Cam Bruce is trying to get a 2 year deal and Melbourne wont go there. He was a saints supporter as a kid and is massively skilled. I would be talking to his management on how much he'd like a premiership. And Brad Green would be nice too if they want to unload some old boys.

I've heard the Bruce rumour too. If only. Can't imagine we'd be able to offer much money wise. But would be great to get him.gringo wrote:I think Johnston would set up our midfield a lot better than L davis.

I'm not against the idea of Johnstone if he comes very cheaply. Is he still under contract at Brisbane.

At the expense of more time to Steven and the Dribbler.
