Did you like what our forward line looked like with only Paddy and Membrey? Cause we'd just have Bruce and Membrey without Paddy.

There's no harm in saying that Petracca is a far better player at this stage. He kicked 3 tonight, which Paddy had failed to do in his entire career. Both have been hit by injuries. Everyone wants Paddy to become a star and we all back him in, but taking off your Saints-coloured glasses it's clear that Petracca is the better player.So have we delisted McCartin, or are you just writing him off after a handful of games?
Incredible how premature some of the views about McCartin are on here.
Heard the same stuff about bj 10 years ago, Steven five years ago and Billings of late.
Please dont let them develop, just shitcan them after 2 years.
Pretty poorcfrom supposed supporters
How am I writing him off? I think he will be good but we missed out on a star. He's not going to be a star simpleSo have we delisted McCartin, or are you just writing him off after a handful of games?

But clearly Paddy is the better key forward.There's no harm in saying that Petracca is a far better player at this stage. He kicked 3 tonight, which Paddy had failed to do in his entire career.

Plenty of players have been "guns" at U18, a lot of the time it's big boys beating up on little ones such as Mathieson, Angus Graham or Daniel Rich. I'm now convinced Paddy is one of these.
Yes Bont is I disagree that petracca is let's say that young is 23 or youngerWhilst I don't agree with canning our own players, I don't think it's unfair to call the drafting decisions out for what they are. Facts are we took Billings before Bont and Paddy before Petracca. Bont and Trac are in the top few young players in the comp. Thats not up for debate I wouldn't think. At this stage Billings might be getting closer to fulfilling his talent, but Paddy is a long way off at this stage.
theres no argument in it. We stuffed up. Got sucked in by thinking key forwards would cost as much as Tom Boyd did when Gunston a premiership player would cost us a pick 20
Paddy will become the player we all hope and expect him to be when we fill our remaining needs and continue to improve as a side. Let's be honest, kicking to our key forwards has been an issue for some time now (hi Roo!) and until that gets sorted out, of course our young key forwards will struggle to impose themselves. He has plenty to work on, yes, but I think our players up the ground need to do a lot more to help him/us perform to a much higher level
Keep in mind that GWS have been very good trading partners of ours to this point, so I doubt that any trade for Kelly will be grossly unfair (ie. the 2 and 7 concern several posters have, myself included). They'll drive a hard bargain for a great player for sure, but could you imagine what we'd be up against trying to prise Kelly away from, say... Essendon?
We took Paddy before bruce kicked 50 in 1 year. If Bruce did that the year before IMO Racca would be playing for us.Yes....he is a massive kick......who on here saw his massive roost at Princes Park in the pre season game......off a couple of steps and BANG....
And yes.......if we did take Petracca,we would be looking for a Paddy ......the club did say the mids would be the last get in the rebuild.....ok then Saints...foot on the pedal please !!!!!
Add 2 jets with kicking skills this year and see what happens. We just aren't getting clean delivery. Give him another preseason and even trim him down a few kegs.Our game plan of bomb it long & hope for a goal out the back or crumb essentially makes our key fwds decoys.
Hard work for Paddy with our lack of foot skills & current coaching philosophy.

Premature and immature.
Clowns can't see the talent that Paddy has got yet pass themselves off as talent experts after reading one of Knightmare's draft profile.

Absolutely not. What a stupid trade that would be.Collingwood fans discussing trading their first for Bruce. I like Josh but if they're willing to give us another top 10 pick I'd welcome them into the office.
For that to happen we need to get Kelly & somehow keep pick 2. Pick 2 is premium & a difficult draft selection to stuff up. How the **** do we do that (keep 2 & get Kelly)? The war room will be having similar discussions.
