I hope Pou is invited into the coaches box to learn the game from that perspective. He is such an intense and driven personality he might drive people crazy in the coaches box but he may also start to see the patterns in the game and apply it to his role when he gets back on the ground.
Also went to the training today. Some random observations mostly about the players who are improving. The top tier, and I include Macrae in that group, all look cherry ripe:
In the first match sim in one ruck contest Boyd literally just threw Max Heath to the ground. If Max can get over Boyd...
I think it will be a toss up between Windy and Garcia for that last mid spot. That's not a dis on Windy but a positive on how Garcia is imposing himslf on the selectors to choose him.
I'll kick in for 4 shares, but can also pick up more if needed. I am happy if Windy is already sponsored to pick up an emerging player. Hopefully the BF sponsorship curse is behind us. Maybe even the new nude nut from Ireland, Eamonn Armstrong. I guess no one has him yet.
In terms of team dynamics, I think that having the skills and arrogance of Tauru and Arie Schoenmaker on the ground together will be delicious to watch. Each game could be a highlight reel.
Very happy to have Harry Boyd join the list. His athletic capacity around the ground will absolutely compliment the RTB game plan. Impressive bloke as well.

Could also guarantee that the Saints will not match any bid on one of our academy boys now before our next selection at 32. Will not get another defender until the very late.
All this squawking about who are the first two draft picks are. I want to know the real mystery of the Saints draft. Which Sandy spud will we rookie? Pretty lean picking now with so many leaving.
To really wind up the pressure on the Dons, what if we trade Collard to the Weagles for their F1 so as to open up a list spot for a small forward. I can see the sweat breaking out in the Dons bunker now.
