I hope he catches syphilis from Mrs Mitchell’s welcome pavlova and his limbs drop off and he has to eat through a straw. Too far?

...or not far enough!?
Depends how he goes with them I suppose

 

[tomjoad]

Saints women's team don't suck!

Cusp of finals last year. A bit like the men's team late this year...the ladies started stringing some good performances together in the back half of the season, and I think only missed out on percentage in the end. They had a good foundation to work with.
Also think Dal has gotten better as a coach.

 

[tomjoad]

I hope his children leave a trail of Lego between his bed and his bathroom every night for eternity.

...Too far man, too F*cking far.
Jesus you're a brutal bastard at times.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Not that it matters but Wilson got seriously dicked in the RS imo.

Which means he's still eligible next year.

I hope he gets gastro on his first day at dingley

Don't think so. Has to be under 21 and played less than 10 games.

Hugo (9 games), Arie, Hastie, Collard, Keeler will be though. As will our Pick 7 and 8.

I don't want to seem biased, but I'm betting $3000 on the Saints finishing top 7 in the RS next year.

Hugo on 9 games is excellent ha. Reckon he is a good shout...

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We definitely do have some great potential coming through with our young fellas. Just need to hold the line and not get too tempted with blowing draft picks on stars.
They’ll be begging us to sign them up soon enough.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Someone in here drew that and yes I seriously am thinking of getting it tattooed on my finely honed rig.

 

[gringo2011]

Have they had any injuries?
That and a soft draw….

Won’t happen again next year. They’re just the media’s latest love child after Carlton saw their a*ses for a while.
Next year? We’ll see.

Actually been good at winning against the flow. They are a well coached and mentally disciplined side. I rate them. I don’t think they are much ahead of at all on paper but the intangibles are there.

 

[Mowman]

Perhaps they’re one and the same

You would be lost without gringo, you wouldn't have anyone to pot every 2nd post

 

[PoppedCorn]

ahhh
welcome back


again

I’m waiting to see how they back it up with a much harder draw.
They also had a charmed injury run if I recall correctly.

 

[Mowman]

ahhh

's most important season. He'll finally get a full pre-season, and we've seen how the team functions in his absence.

What can he and the club do to ensure we maximise his potential for the greater good of the club?

 

[SteeleSaints]

A great summary and I totally agree that Max has to move up the ground to CHF. You nailed it with Max being a better player and team player when he is on the move and shifting the defence. The question is whether he will ever have the tank to play that role?

We become far too Max centric when he is the stay at home forward. He simply draws the ball way too much when sitting in the square and is often out positioned with 2 or 3 defenders on him. Hopefully he can get his body right, get the preseason he needs and get some continuity in his game.

The only thing I will say is that his team mates need to be rewarded as well. Without Max their leads etc were rewarded and we mixed it up beautifully and the forward line looked so much more potent when sharing the work load. Sharman and Membrey came into their own and had great finishes to the year.
