Big time!The comments in this thread is embarrassing
Yeah I’ve actually been watching saints games. I told a lie. One good game amongst barely affecting games at allPhillipou has genuinely been really bad this year.
Was good on the weekend.
Yeah, I doubt anyone’s coming with a blockbuster offer.Twomey thinks people will come sniffing does he?
Can't see us trading him at a low point.
I’m pretty sure the recruitment guys at other clubs read this thread so I think we might be screwed.Good Callum , plant that seed. Now we just hope he can't get a game before years end so his kicking isn't shown on live tv, then bang, we grab our first rounder back. No harm no foul
You watch the saints VFL too?Yeah I’ve actually been watching saints games. I told a lie. One good game amongst barely affecting games at all
Oh yeah he looked like Hird thereYou watch the saints VFL too?
Tom Hird?Oh yeah he looked like Hird there
I don’t watch saints VFL games. I told a lie.Tom Hird?
I still remember Jordan Gysberts getting 30 touches and brownlow votes in a game against us. He lasted one more year on the Melbourne list before they booted him.I don’t watch saints VFL games. I told a lie.
dean polo 28 touches and 3 goals. we were dogshit that year, but man.I still remember Jordan Gysberts getting 30 touches and brownlow votes in a game against us. He lasted one more year on the Melbourne list before they booted him.
That's a good comparison.dean polo 28 touches and 3 goals. we were dogshit that year, but man.
Yeah but can the guys taken after Tsatas kick the footy? That's the only thing that matters. Footy nous, work rate, marking ability, clean hands etc don't matter. CAN THEY KICK?Some have gone pretty early on Humphey too. He has averaged under 6 touches and kicked one goal in his last 5 games. If you take out the 5 goal game, he hasn't been that great this year.
Only really Wardlaw, Sheezel and Ashcroft from the 2022 draft have shown that they are consistently high quality developing players (IMO). None taken after Tsatas have consistently set the world on fire just yet. Some have shown glimpses and that is about it.
I'm hoping Tsatas develops. He has the appetite and has his head down. He missed half of is first year but can find the footy. Let David Rath work his magic for a year or two.

100%. I would probably add Ginbey, Michaleney and Weddle to your list of guys that have consistently played high level but I think everyone accepted Ginbey would go to eagles (wonder if there was a go home factory worry there?) and we werent looking at a backmen so that ruled out Weddle/Michaleney (plus he was a F/S for adelaide).Some have gone pretty early on Humphey too.

Harry Potter just hasn’t aged that well.Rath doesn't look like a musician to me. But hey, it may be a side thing his doing.

I’m in the Sammy Draper camp.David Lee Rath should have stayed with Van Halen, far easier gig than fixing that kicking
Including player movement speculation. Just ****ing wait until the season is over.I stand by my point, I was a throw away line. I have seen two media (both professional and amateur, sorry ZeroHangar) present this as an almost fact.
The media is a circle jerk recycling and regurgitating someone else's opinion. How many articles do you see saying "Kane Cornes says.."?? or what about "Caroline Wilson says..."?? Maybe even the shock jocks like Jon Ralph and Sam Maclure?
My point remains, the very minor research is thrown out the window if you can simply use a throw away quote from someone who has limited insider info as your own and direct that.
Its horrible that off the field is covered more than on the field.. Ive seen more articles on Isaac Heeney than I have who would be in the running for the rising star award despite I being covered more for weeks, if no months longer.
anyways, off topic. I hate the football media and all the sub pros and narratives I tries to push
Weddle was also a bolter, and taken with pick 18. No chance in all hell we were taking him. It was really between Tsatas and Pou, and whilst i think Pou has a higher ceiling, Tsatas is much more likely to be a consistent player at AFL level. He was also the best player all year behind only ashcroft. Im glad we didnt take Pou, praying that he'd turn into the 'next bont'. Thats what we want/ed for Perk and its also what Dodoro said would happen with Ridley when he got drafted.100%.

yeah not saying we made a mistake as weddle wasnt really on radar. But just with hindsight he wouldve been the best pick due to our new found midfield depth and lack of running back depth. (Im still not ready to give up on Tstatas for the record).Weddle was also a bolter, and taken with pick 18. No chance in all hell we were taking him.

That tracks with my recollection of the commentary at the time around the quality of the draft, a handful of very good players at the pointy end before a sharp drop off to an even, comparatively mediocre first and second roundSome have gone pretty early on Humphey too.

I watched an old interview with Ginbey before he got drafted where he stated that he was happy to go anywhere.100%.

If you think a draftee would answer that question honestly then I’ve got a bridge to sell youI watched an old interview with Ginbey before he got drafted where he stated that he was happy to go anywhere.
