Damian Barrett is a cretin of the highest order who is despised by a lot of footy clubs.
The “stories” he breaks are bad enough but some of the personal stuff in players and staff’s lives that he’s tried or threatened to publish is disgusting. Unfortunately footy media has taken a big step backwards over the last 5 years with a lot of top journos leaving the game.

Yet he is still there, and still earning AFL endorsed $’s.
Which says something about him, the AFL, or most probably both.
 
This is more "media" than Saints media, but just came here to promote a podcast you may or may not have heard of.

Where Do We Begin? is a series of episodes of between 30 mins and 2 hrs, each containing an interview/chat with a sports identity. They've interviewed a few Saints people - Matt Allison (twice), Hunter Clark and even old Adam Schneider (he qualifies as a Saints person doesn't he?) - but also many other interesting AFL folk and people from other codes. Latest interview is with a certain Jye Caldwell, and obviously his story may be partially of interest to us but he plays a pretty straight bat about the trade decision.

Harper Pestinger and Lachie Gibbs clearly know sport and are intelligent interviewers, if a bit young. Full disclosure; I'm a family friend of young Harper.

Give it a go and support decent grass roots footy journalism!

Very enjoyable productions. Just finished listening to both Matty Allison’s interviews and he comes across as a ripping chap.

It's absolutely laughable..........what on earth goes thru the minds of these clowns.

They seem to just be getting worse and you just cannot take most of the clown show(the journo pack) seriously.

Myself....I've never counted Hanners in our best 22 on field......he's never out there.

Would have loved to watch Jake play within earshot of De Goey in round 1.
 
Looks like Hayes hasn't been our only pre-season signing ;)


St Kilda’s summer train-on rookie Jack Hayes has put himself in the picture for an unlikely Round 1 spot as the Saints prepare to elevate him onto their list.
The Herald Sun understands Hayes will be put onto the St Kilda list as a 194cm ruck-forward who has been totally dominant at SANFL level.

SANFL star Hayes is the only player pushing for one of two vacant list spots at St Kilda and Saints players believe he is a strong chance to win a position early in the year in the senior side given his brilliant summer form.

The 194cm utility has taken all before him in the SANFL, captaining the state team, finishing equal third in the Magarey Medal and winning the Jack Oatey Medal as Woodville West Torrens claimed its second consecutive premiership.

St Kilda said this week it was yet to make an official call on Hayes, but St Kilda players believe he could make a similar impact to Callum Wilkie, a revelation since joining the club with an impressive SANFL pedigree.

Wilkie was this week elevated into the St Kilda leadership group after the Saints took him with pick 3 in the 2019 national rookie draft after being overlooked in four national drafts.

Hayes is a dangerous and versatile utility who averaged 128 ranking points, 19.6 possessions, 10.8 contested possessions, 1.1 goals, 4.3 tackles and 7.1 score assists in his 20 SANFL games this year.

At only 194cm he isn’t a pure key position player on size but given his running ability and marking power is able to cover the ground and amass huge possession tallies.

His SANFL premiership coach Jade Sheedy told the Herald Sun on Thursday he could make an impact at AFL level.

“He plays as a forward-ruck for us and he’s only 194cm but he does have a huge heart. His ability to throw himself at every contest and will himself at every ball separates him from the rest in our competition.

“The knock on him about why he hasn’t got drafted is he is too small but you can’t measure someone’s heart and he has long arms and stretches out long at the footy and jumps well and takes the ball at its highest point. He plays above his height.

“People in SANFL circles can’t believe he hasn’t been given a chance at AFL level. That is universal, not just from our footy club, so I hope he get an opportunity and it’s one that would be well and truly deserved.

“What he has done in our competition is pretty significant. He was second in the Magarey Medal and it’s pretty rare for someone who plays up forward, the Magarey has always been a midfield award like the Brownlow so he’s pretty dominant.”

St Kilda has a number of key position targets up forward in Ben King, Tim Membrey, Josh Battle, Rowan Marshall, Paddy Ryder and recently acquired ruckman Tom Campbell.

But Hayes has for several years been one of the top handful of state-league players not able to crack it in the AFL.

The Saints can sign him during the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP) any time up until March 9 this year.

This is actually an excellent point.

Think how great Rooey was and where he'd finish in the Brownlow count during his peak seasons. Often polling behind midfielders you'd never pick ahead of Rooey.

I'm really excited about this signing.

Mongrel Punt has a stats version of a Triple-Double, it's a 50 point mark. Stuv and Monnatagna in there and Rooey one of the few forwards who ran close.

Dropping 50 - The Mongrel Stat Everest (Updated) - The Mongrel Punt

Are there Monty Python fans amongst the Mongrels? I sure hope so, or I hope that you’ve at least watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail at some point, otherwise the next line will be totally lost on you. “50 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 50.” No...
