I have a simple question for you then Con. Why hasnt he put on weight so he looks like Tarzan. Now that is an easy one. Just give us an answer to that. And what playing sport at any level has got to do with this is beyond me.Con Gorozidis wrote:Ur a total douche plugger.

U can make large improvements in strength if u train and eat smart and hard. If u haven't seen people do it u have never played sport at any level.
Why is Dawson being touted as trade bait?

Do you know how happy some of our young guns are now Ross has walked? Some including the much talked about lunch and Walsh have said they would not have stayed if Ross was still with usDr Spaceman wrote:Some cruel people might suggest Ross wasn't that interested in certain St Kilda players while he was still at our clubSt Ick wrote:afl.com.au article stating RL not interested in any former Saints players.
Blessing in disguise
By the way I heard a number of clubs have shown interest in Walsh but we have played a straight bat and said he is well and truly off limits
I am sure plugger will say this is all bulls*** but I say it as I hear it

Dawson is okay on forwards without body strength.
..i.e. against a big forward he's no different to a Harry Taylor vs Cloke or Reid of Collingwood vs Hawkins - he can't take on a big forward with body strength.
We need someone like Lonergan too or instead .. someone tall with a body - who can shut out a Cloke or a Hawkins.

I agree with this. Can't understand what the obsession is with Zac having big guns.... Not going to help in a one on one marking duel.samoht wrote:It's lower/core body strength that comes into play... not so much body weight.
Perhaps it's just for eye candy???? In the Seinfeld tradition... Not that there's anything wrong with that

Might be a mistake if they trade out Dawson, FBs are much harder to replace than mids.... again unless it's a super deal the Saints way.
How many times did he have bags of goals kicked against him?
Also Gwilt will not be ready for the start of the season, and we don't know what's happening with Blake.
I hope the new coaches have a succession plan for the tall KP backs with any of Simpkin, Walsh, Johnson and Archer.

small forward pocket players are just as tough to find. would love to get walters from freo and a higher draft pick for dawsonMCG-Unit wrote:Might be a mistake if they trade out Dawson, FBs are much harder to replace than mids.... again unless it's a super deal the Saints way.

Yes what I've seen of Walters is impressive, small left footer and still only 20 - seems to be harder at the ball than many FP......defacto wrote:small forward pocket players are just as tough to find. would love to get walters from freo and a higher draft pick for dawsonMCG-Unit wrote:Might be a mistake if they trade out Dawson, FBs are much harder to replace than mids.... again unless it's a super deal the Saints way.

Need to get a decent DP/player for Dawson if they are going to trade.
They need more hard running mids as well, and I like the look of Simon Hogan and Rohan Bail. Bail can play F and B

We have one elite defender in Sammy Fisher and two guns in Jimmy Gwilt and Sam Gilbert. The rest are average (Raph, Dawson and the Blake). Overall, I think we get way more out of them as a unit than the sum of the individuals. Hence, there would seem to me to be little gained in trading any of them UNLESS one is touting for a serious wage increase, in which case only Jimmy would be one I'd accommodate. (Presuming that Sam Fisher is already in the top 5 paid players in the team).
Dawson, I think, is likely to have been getting paid near the minimum so is good value and not worth trading at present UNLESS his manager is looking to change this and he has serious offers elsewhere i doubt that he will be getting moved along.
For mine.... one more year from the Blake as back-up ruck and back-up defender, with Tom Simpson a likely bolter this coming year.

Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...
I like Blakey alot and he has done some great work filling holes but I don't think we can stall the next level of development in our younger players for much longer. If you want Simpkin, Walsh, Stanley and others to come on they need game time.Richter wrote:We have one elite defender in Sammy Fisher and two guns in Jimmy Gwilt and Sam Gilbert.

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
