I will be pissed if Essendon land kako and we missed of McKenzie
Had we gotten McKenzie we would've missed Mattaes, I'm ok with missing him.
As good as Van Rooyen is, Mac Andrew is the one I'd be missed with as far as Vic NGA misses go.

I will be pissed if Essendon land kako and we missed of McKenzie
New dad Josh seems very engaged with the little fans.I saw Josh battle today. Seemed very engaged at the family clinic. He signed my daughter’s poster and I said to him ‘that’s the signature we need on a contract.’ He tried hard to ignore the comment but after 2-3 seconds turned and smiled/chuckled…..read into what you will. The body language was very positive though.
Hope he stays. Was great with the kids at the junior clinic today and looks ready for another 6 big seasons of footy.
You'd want a fair amount than 1 end of first round. Tough **** for Steele, he's contracted on big money so it would want to be a game changing deal for us.Steele’s name has come up as a potential trade out. Or him wanting out. Not advocating it, but if it came to pass I wonder what would happen.
Where would he go, and what would we get? End of R1 from a contending team? Many don’t think this draft is good at the top end. But it apparently stretches out in to the second round with similar levels of talent.
Would that be good long term? Certainly not short term.
You're being very kind with your words regarding Gubby.The Northern sides are good because fans don’t hold list management to any account. They can do cheap deals for clearing cap space without getting members upset. This is exactly the type of dealing we should look at. Gubby was meant to use his contacts inside GWS to steal all their talent. So far he’s been quite slow.
I laugh...but know where you're at. Just can't get into it at all either. I usually watch at least the first 5 or 6 rounds avidly before getting on with other things in life, knowing that once again we're not going to do anything worthwhile.You guys always prefer being down the ladder and winning trade period. I want to win matches. I haven't got 5 years of interest left in this blackhole club. At some point they have to move forward. Sunk cost isn't working as well as it used to. I don't think I even like footy anymore.
Why no signature at the beginning of Round 17? Surely would have signed on by now if he wanted to stay at the Saints.No wink
But definitely an audible laugh
Twomey undoubtedly, but I get the sense with Riley Beverage that he's more of a kinkmaster into anyone and anything, stuff that even Dutch pr0n producers would get nervous about.Coupla virgins
Fixed that for you.You're being very kind with your words regarding Gubby.
Looks like he's just using St.Kilda to get his retirement fund bumped up to me.
Has he done anything since joining!?

Disagree. McKenzie will be a star and we could have moved our first into the following year and double dipped. That’s where the real advantage isHad we gotten McKenzie we would've missed Mattaes, I'm ok with missing him.

I mean, Acres is move that servicable for Carlton, Dunstan looked like he would be an elite mid in his first season and Billings had all the tricks you could ask for.It depends on the junior talent.
All the strategy that Pelican put in place was fine...except they ignored the actual process of identifying talent.
They assumed if you took Pick X you would get player Y.
Clubs media training players and erasing nearly all their own personality in interviews is criminal.I'm a bit over footy. I used too like watching other sides play. It makes me angry now. Umpiring ruins most match outcomes seems and there is no real personality or excitement in the game. Saw some footage of an old Freo v Saints game with G Train raging today. That era was so good. The game was absolutely peaking with great personalities in announcing, players had character and the game had raw energy and felt like it was rising. It all feels a bit flat and tired now.
If they young guys get injured or poorly out of form we need a backup
Hayes would cost nothing.
Not sure about Tomlinson.
Outside of that if battle goes our depth is very thin
Van Es
Cordy
Keeler
Shoenmaker
Howard
Mclennan
Wilkie
Hayens def sures that up for 1-2 years. Stay strong defensively and play the kids in the middle. Owens more than capable as a big body.
Means if the bottom falls out it doesn’t get too messy
I mean, Acres is move that servicable for Carlton, Dunstan looked like he would be an elite mid in his first season and Billings had all the tricks you could ask for.
Might not be Pelican's ability to assess talent but the clubs inability to actually set standards and develop talent during that period.

This year I got to round 3.

He probably lets Cal watch from inside his wardrobe from time to time because it gets his partner/s off.
Not that Cal is even watching that crazy shit, he's sitting in the wardrobe checking TAC matches on his phone.
What a great job the club did with the junior members clinic yesterday.I saw Josh battletoday. Seemed very engaged at the family clinic.

Hope he stays. Was great with the kids at the junior clinic today and looks ready for another 6 big seasons of footy.
I watched the Bombers match with a Richmond mate and said that was season over. He was laughing at me giving up in round three but you could just tell we weren't going anywhere. This season can't end soon enough. Every game seems to be an endurance exercise. Then I've just got to hope we don't **** up draft and trade period and then have summer to not have to deal with these campaigners.
Agree with this, saints are pushing it up hill under the current system
Doesn't matter if we absolutely kill the draft, there are teams like GC, Sydney, GWS, Brisbane, Carlton, etc, every one either in the eight or near it getting free NGA's F/S and then double dipping with their frdp's.
It is a rigged system that can't be won.

New dad Josh seems very engaged with the little fans.
Surely he won’t break their tiny hearts
Don't worry, thankfully none of the frail hearts on here have any say in anything to do with the club. I think we'll see some big decisions made this year, but nothing as capitulating as that.We need to be patient. I haven't read this thread but I assume the King trade talk is all media generated. This season feels far worse then it acutally has been because we've lost 6 games by 2 goals or less. Think we can all agree finals was not on the radar last year and was also driven by a hot start and a soft draw. I didn't expect us to be this low on the ladder but the worst thing we can do now is panic trade.

We shouldn’t forget that rule changes and tactical shifts relegated slower players with unremarkable disposal like Dunstan within a very quick timeframe.I mean, Acres is move that servicable for Carlton, Dunstan looked like he would be an elite mid in his first season and Billings had all the tricks you could ask for.
