We aren’t taking shortcuts this time around. Sustained rebuild. Going to the draft to build a core of quality youngsters. Look at the Lions and see what it take to win a premiership.. continual finals series, failed prelims and failed GF’s over 6 years. Not sure if the Wilkies and Marshall’s will st...

Yes, I am a critic and saints 'supporter' and very much hope to have egg on my face.

Love all the decisions the club has made over the past 2 years since appointing Lyon, but this decision I cannot understand.

I hope to be proven wrong.

Hope he enrols his kids in Auskick. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/riewoldt-s-return-saints-great-back-in-australia-for-television-role-20240926-p5kdpj.html Nick Riewoldt is the...

Sebit Kuek just delisted from Freo. 199cm talk key forward. It wouldn’t hurt to rookie him and train him as a key back.

I have been one of his biggest critics but this year he was noticeably better due to ‘staying in his lane’ and ‘not biting off more than he can chew’ etc etc you get the drift. Hope it’s not more than 2 years though and we find a better solution during that period.

It’s a yes for me if we don’t give up much draft collateral.

If we can also draft in the left footed Xavier Lindsay then we will be looking a pretty good team.

Add in Brayshaw as a FA for ‘26 and we’re cooking.

I think Cripps showed today how far off our mids are, and the difference between ‘very good’ and ‘elite’. He single handedly nearly won that game for the Blues. To contend we’ll need to find at least 2 close to his calibre. If we could get 2 early firsts for King, would we do it? Yes, we should do ...

He’ll get a 2 or 3 year contract. He’s an upgrade on Ross and a replacement for the injured Crouch. We aren’t going to contend for a flag until 2028 and need a mature body to take hits. It’s a long season. We’ve got underspend on the cap which we need to manage and yes that means paying this guy a b...

Yes it has to be Keeler for Caminiti. Time to get a look at the boy.

Philipou or Hastie come in for B Hill.

I don’t think Moose will make it. Seems like a ruckman from a bygone era. A poor man’s Tom Campbell. Keeler has the potential but only time will tell whether he has the work ethic required.

Under Ross all the stats say we're a worse team with King playing. King is being wasted, whether that's because Ross doesn't know how to use a power forward or our midfield is C grade, so how many more years are we going to tread water with him until one of those 2 things change? All I know is its ...

I suspect we are using the minimum amount of our salary cap space and we need to spend $ so that we don’t go below. On the other hand, Essendon are probably in danger of overspending. I suspect that Essendon give us Shiel and one of their picks as a thank you for dumping salary. The bigger picture ...

Xavier Lindsay

Watch his highlights. Every kick is damaging on that left foot. Always looking to come back into the corridor, his kicks are worth more than others because of this.

We just have to disagree on King. Doesn’t lead for the ball, gets pushed over easily and has no ticker. He will end up like Billing’s and be unfulfilled potential. The longer we keep King the more his trade value will diminish. That’s my opinion anyway and more than happy to be proven wrong. When I ...

Yea agree , Garcia will make it. It was an oversight. He is a Libba clone.

I think that if we get pick 6 we should let him go. With picks 5, 6, 25, we target the 3 best midfielders we can find. Then in 2026 start chasing free agents and other key position backs from the state leagues. Build the list around the young core of: Nas Henry Wilson Sharman Philipou Hastie Shoenma...

Marshall has currency, and funnily enough, when Campbell was in the ruck out midfielders seemed more assured. Wouldn’t be the worst idea to cash in if he wants out. There’s an opinion from many that ruckman are the most overrated position.

Straight swap for LDU, would you do it?

B Long in, anyone out.

Byrnes = Robert Eddy
Bonner = Brett Peake (?)



When is Keeler going to get a go?? If we’re going to score 50 points and lose every game, at least give us something to look forward to .

Paton has just sealed his fate. Won’t get a game after this and will get delisted.

Howard fate sealed too. Will only keep playing until end of year so that he has some (not much) trade currency.

We've done well so far.

I think we should try to trade in another pick somewhere between 30-40 by trading out a future pick.

So that we can pick an athletic key defender such as Zane Zakostelsky aswell as a strong midfielder such as George Stevens
