Go Sainters

[damienc]

The club has kicked arse.

As supporters, we have good reason to get excited.

We've recruited some quality, speed and skill.

We've got someone to mentor our up and coming ruckman.

Our list will bear little resemblance to 2019. We needed change. What we had was not going to get it done. .

We lost some players. I am sad about that.

But look at what we gained.

The club deserves much praise for how they handled themselves.

Can't wait for 2020.

Agree agree, but not sad about who we gave up. JS was a shadow of his best, Josh ok but there was something missing in the crunch and Blake is the prototype that just had one line of code wrong. Done good Mr Gallagher.

[Captain Impossible]

Great result by the team, they deserve a ton of credit. Potentially 7 new players (including Roberton and King) in our best 22 next year.

[Stian]

And Jack Bytel; so that's 8 class players.

[Rocket]

All said. We. We had to have a crack and make some changes. The club has done that.

Bruce was a good player but did struggle against the best opposition and did here some negatives. He was on good coin too. Howard is 4 years younger and could be better long term.

It will be painful to watch Jack Steven next year. No doubt he will get close to his best. Can only hope we got some good salary relief and his life moves in right direction

Acres. Potential potential. I don’t think he worked hard enough. This might be the kick guts he needed.

[Stian]

On Jack Steven, does anybody have "real" information on whether we are still up for payment of some of his salary next year???

Hard to judge until next year

In
Hill - Overs
Zac Jones - slightly unders
Howard & Ryder - Unders
Butler - about right

Out
Jack Steven - clearly unders
Acres - part of a deal that was costly
Bruce - slight unders

Overall
Probably better than last years list... but not much

Bruce vs Howard
Hill vs Acres
Jones vs Steven
Ryder vs Longer/Pierce
Butler vs Armitage

Then you’ve got King, Bytel, Roberton

Yeah, better players

But we did lose a First and Second Rounder

Bookmarked for the same comparison for those picks without Hill, Howard and Ryder. Should I bother? In fact, I won't bother. Just ridiculous.
