One of my favourites.. limited skills but what a teammate he would have been. Steven Baker with Garry & Tim SEN Breakfast 21/3:
Thanks for the article BrutThoughSAINTS’ BOLD TRIFECTA
St Kilda president Andrew Bassat’s bold decision to sign and then sack Brett Ratten was the right one. The club’s bold decision to pay the AFL $100,000 to take Spud’s Game from Marvel Stadium to the MCG was the right one. Coach Ross Lyon’s bold decision to axe Brad Crouch – he had not played state-league football since a run in the SANFL on return from a hamstring tear in 2017 – was the right one. Marcus Windhager attended four centre bounces in round 1 and, with Crouch gone, attended 25 in round 2. Wearing Spud’s old No.2 jumper, Windhager went head-to-head with Tom Mitchell and Nick Daicos and went whoosh past Crouch with 24 disposals, 16 contested possessions, seven clearances, seven score involvements and six tackles. Former Saints football boss Geoff Walsh said in 2022: “This might sound abrasive and the Saints fans might get upset but … I think the competition would say there’s been a degree of irrelevance”. In just 18 months the Saints have redeemed their relevance, and a home win in front of 70,000 against the reigning premier proves that.
STAT OF THE SEASON
Did some digging on Jack Higgins after he kicked 4.1 against Collingwood. Higgins’ first three goals were all unmissable and then – with his confidence sky high – he slotted the sealer from beyond the boundary. Admittedly it wasn’t a set-shot from 45m that required deep breaths to not overthink the situation, but if this stat does not prove that football is largely played between the ears then nothing will. Higgins has kicked 126.93 in his career. When his first score in a match has been a goal, he has kicked 92.27 (77.3 per cent). When his first score has been a behind, he has kicked 34.66 (34 per cent). Last year’s AFL average was 48.1 per cent and nobody kicked it straighter than Nick Larkey (77 per cent). What a wild swing for the loveable little Saint.

A shame he turned out to be a conspiracy theory moron.

Is this a joke? People with opposing points of view a bit too much for you to handle petal?
No joke, playing for St Kilda doesn’t exclude someone from being a moron.
Ghost masks up when he sits down to weeOf course it doesn't. That wasn't the point. Point was you felt the need to jump in and call him a "conspiracy theory moron" when in fact a lot of evidence points to the fact he's a well-rounded, well-liked, successful individual. Any chance the real lesson here is the bloke on the internet with the "ITK" avatar getting randomly triggered by an excellent interview is the real moron? Hmmmm.
Good interview that. Plympton was in charge when we made a couple of ordinary decisions, sacking Stan and moving from Waverley, but he was a dedicated Saints man and both were difficult situations. He helped pave the way for the evolution of the club and for that I thank him and pay respect to those close to him at this sad time.An insightful interview with Plympton and the guys at Unpluggered from 2022:
That’s a great stat, I thought that’s how it worked for him but didn’t realise it was such a stark difference!
I'm surprised it took the media so long to pick up on this obvious story.
Saints’ win highlights bizarre call, Mitchell’s misstep: Key takeouts from round two
The AFL’s second round is in the books and, as usual, there is plenty to talk about after a weekend of upsets, controversy and magnificent solo performances.www.theage.com.au

Not just about Toce though, article mentions Gallagher, Roughead, Wayne Hughes and apparently more ("The Saints also parted ways with a group of part-time recruiters, including Carlton’s ex-national recruiting manager Wayne Hughes, over email in the period after Toce’s exit, the same sources said.")Some actually think that Toce had a lone hand in picking those players?
Cool they did a decent job .... now we have 2 guys that built the current Sydney and Carlton teams .... time to look forwardNot just about Toce though, article mentions Gallagher, Roughead, Wayne Hughes and apparently more ("The Saints also parted ways with a group of part-time recruiters, including Carlton’s ex-national recruiting manager Wayne Hughes, over email in the period after Toce’s exit, the same sources said.")
So the question is who's left out of the team that brought in Nas, Pou, etc.
Flying under the radar .... not necessarily a bad thingAnd speaking of out coverage....or lack of.....loved the comments pre game from people watching broadcasts etc and wondering who Collingwood were playing.
As stavro on the other thread pointed out Naz and Pou were best of the rest picks (although Healy wanted us to select Sinn ) Windy and Owens were locals NGA's so nothing to do with Toce.Not just about Toce though, article mentions Gallagher, Roughead, Wayne Hughes and apparently more ("The Saints also parted ways with a group of part-time recruiters, including Carlton’s ex-national recruiting manager Wayne Hughes, over email in the period after Toce’s exit, the same sources said.")
