Re: explain this ......
Billings appears to be too slow for a guy of his size. He was recruited for his kicking skills but doesn't get enough possessions in good spots to impact the game regularly.

Re: Dougal Howard
Ross needs to tell him like he did with Sean Dempster. If your hands are on the ball first mark it dont punch it. Dempster got better when he started marking the ball instead of punching every time.

Re: Jack Bytel
Captain of Calder Cannons and played a few games there with stress fracture in his back as it was nearing draft time. Second to Sam Walsh in possesions the year they both got drafted and was tipped to go top ten if it wasnt for back injury.My son worked at Cannons over that period and rated him as t...

Re: Young guns who can take the next step
The 2 question marks I have on Bytel are his decision making and his lack of professionalism on the training track. What utter crap. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Have to agree with Saynta on this one that’s not the intel I have heard about Bytel.. He is known to be meticulous in his training and pro...

If you had to compare him to anyone he is similar to Justin Westoff but more speed.

Re: Matthew McLeod-Allison
with no footy in 2020 those that have big last years in under age footy never got to show their talents. Hoping that we saw this guys as one who would have climbed the charts had he played and therefore got him as a steal. He is also young for this draft . Need to trust the guys as have got it corr...

Re: McKernan
He's got a great pair of hands and a good kick; he strikes me as a real confidence player so when he's on, he's very good but the gap between his best and his worst is too great. If he can become more consistent, he'll be a more than handy acquisition for us. Welcome to the Saints Shaun! Agree enti...

Re: Are you a man of youru word Eddie
He still can't differentiate between media personality and club president. He's either one or the other. You don't hear any other president getting involved with rules and regulations yet Eddie keeps pushing his own agendas to the detriment of his own club.

Re: Marsh 2 Game thread
I thought Ryder and Marshall gave Grundy a bath. First Ryder clearly out- tapped him( great to see the number of his taps which went to one of our players on the move) then Marshall played him up close in a completely different style. I don’t think Grundy adapted, and got further lost when they cha...

Re: Geary should not be captain in 2020 because he is not in our best 22 (IMHFO).......
Captaincy is based on overall leadership both on and off the field. Nick Maxwell was not a star neither was our own beloved Danny Frawley but they were probably one of the first picked because their attitude and heart. You don't have to be the franchise, best possession getter, Brownlow medallist or...

Re: Seb Ross
The best of Seb Ross could be yet to come. If our midfield /onball combination can build you may find some of the shackles on his game being released and he could find more of the footy in more dangerous positions to impact games. I feel he has been a role player for too long due to lack of skill an...

Re: Team mates rally around Cowboy
Took my now 21 year old to a family day back in 2003 and got him to get Cowboys signature and he was absolutely wrapped to have my young bloke call him out. Absolute great bloke and footballer back when football was football.

Re: Was this our best win ever?
There was a win against North Melbourne at Arden St. in the late 70s, where we were done, and managed a controversial after the siren goal to steal the game. Heart breaking for North fans. One of the very few, if only games I went to at Arden St. It was in that incredible 1978 season. Robert Elliot...

Re: Paddy to be delisted
Paddy was dominant at TAC playing as a stay at home forward where the tac rules did not allow for extra numbers in defence. His size at that level helped him dictate terms but has not been able to adapt to the bigger bodies he is up against now. Good skills but at senior level you can see he goes to...

Re: One View Of Our Trade Haul
I think the best thing to come out of the draft was the aggressive thought process behind targeting the players we drafted and were not bullied. New blood extra depth creates competition. Fantastic result.
