I will defer to your knowledge of kpp who hadn't debuted by 20/21 (which he turns in 2 weeks). Care to name a few from the modern era because I can't think of any who ended up making it.

Lol they are trolling. They saw the outrage from some corners and said "f*** it 5 defenders here we go"

Re: Do we need another Key Forward

He is only 20yo though. Yes, he is raw and come from a long way back. But he’s a powerful lad who’s shown glimpses I’m keen to see if he can play a bit at CHB He has only kicked more than two goals in a game once in 33 games. I hope he does make it (like I hope everyone in a Saints guernsey does), ...

Re: The Academy and Father Son Piss take

Lucky to win the flag? Not sure they would see it that way. Getting players for less than they are worth, what does it matter where you finish? Might need to reread my post there BM. I didn't just say they were lucky to win the flag. And I think you are agreeing with me, Curly suggested it was unfa...

Re: Do we need another Key Forward

I'm not convinced Hammer makes it yet, averaging a goal a game basically so needs to have a big year coming up. So adding some more potential there is top of the list I think.

Re: The Academy and Father Son Piss take

By essentially two top ten picks, do you mean pick 5 and pick 25? Ashcroft and Marshall both extremely highly rated. Ashcroft rated 1 by most and Marshall who was BOG in the Grand Final in a team Ashcroft was in. Lol, 'essentially' doing a lot of work there. The reality is, regardless of where they...

Re: (NO) Surprise! We pick 2 DEF

How about Garcia as a small/lockdown defender? Unless he can really step up I feel like he might get squeezed out of our midfield with the crop already in front of him and any new free agents/recruits. But he has pace, hates to be beaten and loves a tackle. Maybe a question on his overhead work, but...

Re: New Logo Incoming

Which was a load of s***! Also, don’t like the fact it’s smaller and below the sponsor. I like the crest bigger and on the chest (heart) On the draftees, the crest was small and under the pec Looked crap I am once again begging people to read the clubs release about the crest.

Re: (NO) Surprise! We pick 2 DEF

Have you heard of best 2 available? Very debatable that these are best available. I think Allen and Armstrong are better prospects. Appears to be more need based recruitments to me. Defense is our best area of the field so unless we are planning 2-3 years ahead (and still I think mids and forwards ...

Re: 2025 Fixture

Would love to see the math on how a couple of 80 minute plane rides over 5 weeks is going to derail our whole season 8-) Not so much the plane ride that is the issue it’s the nature of the crowd. It is immense on Adelaide away days, never see more one sided crowds which definitely impacts performan...

The Latin is still there, just in the hem of the guernsey.

This just gets it out of the logo to make it more versatile for marketing.

Good call early.

Re: Draft Preferences

Cal Twomey’s phantom drafts have been incredibly accurate over the past 4 years, I think he’s barely got a pick in top 20 wrong over that time (last year only missed Phoenix Gothard). He would have some intel on travaglia for sure, we’ll be picking him. I still think north would be crazy not to tra...
