Blake Acres, for example. Can anybody see him becoming an A Grade midfielder at West Coast?

Paddy McCartin winning the Coleman at Geelong?

What about Jack Billings kicking 40 goals from the wing at Essendon and runner-up in the Brownlow?

Jack Newnes winning a Norm Smith off half back at Richmond?

I just can't see any of the above examples becoming reality.

We do need to change the playing group so i wouldn't mind if we traded a couple of those players, i'm not sure though what a fair return is on trading any of those 4 players. :?:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

All of our players would do better. Look at Cripps and Hutchings at WCE.

Maybe 4 or 5.
They are the ones that are good enough to get a game at another club.
- Carlisle, Steven, Gresham, Ross, and maybe Roberton.

The others would be WORSE off as they would be condemned to playing VFL with no prospect of a senior game.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

I think they would all do better at Sandringham.

Newnes would thrive under the Sydney system.

Reality is if we’re basing this off this year absolutely ALL would.. I don’t understand how anyone can disagree with that.. if you have Clarko as a coach all would definitely be better

None. they have been beaten down and lost confidence by Richo's coaching. Made them think they are hopeless. That's what happens when you are led by ineptitude
