A bit dated now but interesting interview with Tauru's coach. I am very bullish.

You’ve got every right to be bullish..an incredibly exciting prospect is Alix..

Another pointless and speculative article from Jon Ralph 26/11 naming potential 10 targets for Saints.

Interactive nature of it, doesn’t show the list.

1) LDU (yes genuine star)
2) James Worpel (pass - meh, just an average player)
3) TDK (yes, less important if Keeler comes on this year)
4) Brayden Maynard (pass - overhyped)
5) Ed Richards (quality but unlikely to leave Dogs)
6) Oscar Allen (quality preagent player but not really a need at Saints, would cost a fortune so a trade wouldn’t be worth it)
7) Kane Farrell (quality kick to potentially release NAS, Sincs and TT in the future) but not an absolute need
8) Brayden Fiorini (meh, average kick - career 57%)
9) Dom Sheed (not required)
10) Jack Silvagni (not required)

Basically gave up towards the end, was probably told by his editor that a list of 10 reads better than a list of 5

We were confident with Battle too!!

i think, most people knew he was going to leave. players who don't re-sign until the end of the year, are nearly always going.

 

[saintmike65]

Seven new faces have been welcomed into the club over the last week. Plus a new crest. Lots happening down at Moorabbin and it's very exciting. Oh and Damian Barrett has a swing at the club again.

Damian Barrett’s sustain towards our club is borderline visceral…wonder where it stems from?

It’s turning out pretty well though…good player Battle but Tauru could be a star!

Who really cares? The bigger question is why on earth footy media employ him? Every 3rd Big Footy poster has substantially more to offer, he's hardly charismatic or easy on the eye, quite unlikeable. He doesn't seem to do any actual journalism, just sits there spouting off.

Start giving guys like Dylan Alexander money and exposure and make Purple redundant.

Yes I’m a huge Dylan Alexander fan, loved his work on the draft!

Do we really need him now? I was on board but after Dodson got to us at 53 if we bring on Boyd that's 4 pure rucks on the list in Marshall, Heath, Boyd and Dodson and Keeler probably isn't developed as a ruck but long term i think we see him as that player that can swing in there. Feel like the time is now for Heath to become that second ruck but if Boyd is like 10 times better than Heath is i could probably start to get around it

I think it's good we are trialing him before comitting a spot to him.

It's time for Moose to have the preseason of his life and beat Boyd in the match sim.

It was mentioned last year that Ross would like a second ruck to free Marshall up to spend time forward.
If one of Heath or Boyd is that player it would leave one of them to be number one ruck for Sandy.
I think Keeler is a key forward who can pinch hit in the ruck but won't be number one there.
Of course I could be wrong and we go with Mitch as number two ruck and Sandy becomes land of the giants.

Yeah I hate Mitch in the ruck, it needs to be either Heath, Keeler or now Boyd. Do we know if Boyd can play forward or is he just like Campbell and can only really play as a ruck?

He was bullied a lot as a kid because he was an easy target. Now he bullies the easiest targets in the AFL, and that's often us because we have limited political power and no on-field success to fall back on.

Big Frase gave him a swirly or something.

St Kilda shake up coaching ranks after 2024 disappointment

An AFL champ has been promoted while the club’s new faces have been handed their instructions.

It certainly looks like Enright being groomed to take over

Damn that sounds like a demotion for Harvs. Enright's senior assistant now?

He's a lazy hack and we're an easy target. See also my Idiocracy post from a few days back.

I’ve been asked to set up a much more complex template for his journalistic work. Here’s my first draft:

What do you think? Don’t be too harsh, it’s only the first draft.

This is why we’ll go hard for TDK…perfect fit for us!

 

[NextYearPlease]

Hahaha so both Tauru and Trav got asked the same question by the Blues... (would you dob a mate in)

Sounds like they gave different answers though !

Although Trav backtracked.

Carlton ask everyone that question - then they know whether it's safe to bring up the discussion re Brown paper bags.
