Injury free, it's a mid-table team in 2011.
If injuries strike, they'll struggle. For a few years anyway.

The young guys to watch who are of the standard already are Dixon (key fwd), Smith (ruck), Swallow (mid - super gun), Matera (small fwd/mid), Weller (mid), McKenzie (wing), Alik Magin (small fwd), Jack Hutchins (back). They are all very good players. I reckon all but Hutchins would get a run with us next year. McKenzie would be an ideal fit!! 6'3" fast as and kick like a mule.SainterK wrote:Of course, you live up there yeah...so a bit of quality, just not much depth then.Thinline wrote:Injury free, it's a mid-table team in 2011.

Heaps of Melbourne teams in a simialr position I guess....
There's an older defender out of the SAFL called Michael Coad who would get a game anywhere. Harris, Iles and Stanley have all proven at various that they can play at the level required.
Hunt could be anything.
Then there's the uncontracted guys.
But if the older guys fall down, the young back ups will get stomped.

I have been posting on here for 6 weeks reaising the alarm/saying i was worried about ray. 99% of posters completely ignored me and started banging on about armo who for some unknown reason is an obsession of saintsational.saintsRrising wrote:Ok..if we do lose someone do not be surprsised if it is Ray.
Why?
1/ Suns recruiting guy is Clayton who was at the Dogs when Ray was.
2/ The players that they have taken are all guys that you know can play first 22 and are established. Armo is not established.
ray is a good young player. i will be genuinely concerned/upset if we lose him.
If Ray is happy to move to his third club in a matter of years, maybe he isn't genuinely concerned/upset?Con Gorozidis wrote:I have been posting on here for 6 weeks reaising the alarm/saying i was worried about ray. 99% of posters completely ignored me and started banging on about armo who for some unknown reason is an obsession of saintsational.saintsRrising wrote:Ok..if we do lose someone do not be surprsised if it is Ray.

i didnt literally mean he should/would only get opportunities when lenny retired. it was just a general comment saying that saints have less good midfielders than we need and thatd be good if we managed to keep cj/armo/faz because they are all youngish and all good.DWOODROW wrote:Con Gorozidis wrote:dont assume anything.saintsareprettygoodhey wrote:If true 1 from saints, then it will almost certainly be Armitage.
I am worried about one of CJ or Faz... Real worried.
If armo did stay hed have plenty of opportunities in a post len-dog decade.
So what is he supposed to do in the meantime? just hang out and watch his career dwindle away until he possibly gets a call up or Lenny retires. What a joke.
He needs to do one of two things.
1. Work harder to get in the team for next year, or
2. Leave and join another team or subject himself to possible and short career.
It's as simple as that.
again my opinion., so no reading between the lines you conspiracy theorists.
i have been posting that the coach has been too focussed on so-called "defensive" players and a "defensive mindsight" (you know who im talking about) at the expensive of more attacking minded players )like armo) and that the coach should alter this balance a few notches toward attack.
