Even if you intend to take another mature aged Full Back in the draft, its time to sign him up Saints before someone else does! Given our current lack of tall defenders another solid option has to be the way to go!

People are getting desperate. Just because they are KPP doesnt mean they are any good.

Correct. I'd rather get noone and play Kosi there than get someone who is not up to it. Plus haven't we learned our lesson getting Tigers players?clarky449 wrote:People are getting desperate. Just because they are KPP doesnt mean they are any good.

Can we get Ed as well?SENsaintsational wrote:And Wilbur's brother.Stephen Theodore wrote:Sorry for the ignorance, but who is he ?
Re: Sign up Jayden POST Saints !
I hope we have a look at him cos we need someone his size that plays FB and we are getting desperate. I'm not sure if there is a better option, if there is get them but at least consider this guy. He was good enough to get onto an AFL list so who knows he might end up being the best option available.

If we sign him, we may as well play the last post.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

We're pretty desperate for a FB. I hear we have tried to entice SOS out of retirement. Spud will be next.slider wrote:Berp!!! Jayden who? your taking the p!ss right? i dont think Sandy need a hack full back that plays in any position badly.

Re: Sign up Jayden POST Saints !
Before I agree or disagree to this proposal I would like to know a bit about the backmen at Richmond who are so hot that the club felt it has no use for him. The quality of those backmen may give us an idea of whether he is worth a punt......WinnersOnly wrote:Sign up Jayden POST Saints !

Re: Sign up Jayden POST Saints !
I have no opinion on Jayden Post and doubt whether those for or those against have a really informed opinion either, some may but most have probably only seen him play a few times!
My question is why do we appear so adamant that we must recruit anyone in a FB role, we didn't have anyone last year and it was not the sole reason we didn't play finals, part of it but not the whole thing. If we get no one able to play senior footy at FB for next year we will adapt, fisher Gwilt Simpkin Dempster Gilbert and Blake are all reasonable defenders!

Re: Sign up Jayden POST Saints !
For starters Post was surrounded by very average tall defenders at Tigerland, whereas he would have support from quality players with us. Chips, Gwilty & Dempster especially are fantastic at getting across & supporting their teammates.
Secondly Post was delisted as the Tigers rate Asbury as a key defender, have just recruited Chaplin & have hopes that Moore will get fit & be their 3rd tall.
At 195cm, 93kegs & 22 years of age, he has done his apprenticeship & has plenty of upside. He isn't particularly strong but has long arms & is quite athletic. Comparisons to Dawson are not unreasonable but probably without the stigma that Zac had.
In our current predicament then I think he'd be worth consideration.

Re: Sign up Jayden POST Saints !
I have a couple of tigers supporter mates that are serious footy nuts and they rate him. He was the leading contested marking player in the TAC cup comp by a huge margin. They both think he has the goods just needs to relax and enjoy his footy. Apparently doesn't throw him self around enough but heaps of potential but lots in front of him and still a development project.

If he is a development project do u think he could play next year?

Jayden Post vision.
Seriously! Look at these & tell me why you wouldn't at least give him a crack! He's only 22 FFS!

i think he could play next year at least as well as Blake but in three years Blake won't be there but this guy might still be in 10 years. My mate said there was a rumour that the saints were trying to trade for him and were pissed off. They claimed he will be better than Rhys Stanley and has the potential to be elite. they watch a fair bit of coburg games and think he was really unfairly treated at Coburg and the Tigers where any momentum gained was snuffed by poor management and was never given consecutive games even when playing well. Says they broke his confidence down from the time he started.

Totally agree with you Gringo!
Definately worth having a look.
And looking at the vision I posted earlier, has a very "High Ceiling" as they would say in the NBA!

Seems he's anything from a Ferrari to an Edsel.
Thankfully we have a few experts at the club who can kick his tyres and decide whether to take possession of the keys
