I heard Max did a faster beep test than Gout Gout in his under age year.

His leap also tested higher than the Olympic pole vaulter that knocked the pole off with his willy.

And his heart rate under pressure was also lower than the Turkish shooting guy.

 

[Mojorisin]

Maybe it's true, no idea. But I heard the same thing about Libba and Wallis' brother's and they couldn't make it on an AFL list lol.

It also came from a member of his immediate family so that has to be taken with a grain of salt. They're not exactly going to say he is rubbish.

Bergman is my dream off-season target. He is so good and would fit us perfectly down back, able to play on talls or smalls. Really hope we are offering him good $ to come across.

 

[Doggies7]

Moreas looks good also, I remember him being one a few here wanted. No complaints though as we grabbed Dolan before and then Davidson after his pick

Saints are offering him the warchest and he's a bayside boy

Essendon also have a similar offer infront of him and he is good friends with Duursma.

It was out of him and Dolan but we decided on speed.

 

[Here we go dogs]

If he can recapture his form of 2 years ago again I’ll be very happy but very surprised,

I hope we target from 2 groups:

Young player ready to explode:
Ned Moyle
Nick Madden

Solid Battler type:
Marc Pittonet
Ned Reeves

I watched a fair bit of VFL footy last year and second Nick Madden. He was the best VFL ruck I saw last year. Not sure why he hasn’t been playing with the Briggs injury.

Madden reminds me of Briggs when he was stuck in the vfl.

Dimma talked up Moyle. He suggested he could be one of the best rucks in the league. So he will be a watch.

Have we even been linked to him in the media?

Not to my knowledge, but we rarely are

 

[W W Biscuit]

Not to my knowledge, but we rarely are

And only as a precursor to whomever Hawthorn ends up signing.

Only saw 3-4 of Maddens games however he looked like the next Nank/Cameron/Sweet/Meek type to pick off struggling to get a game to get entering their prime

Only time was that we liked him pre draft.

Sen saying saints should try to for Jamarra. Ross and Brad Hill could probably could have the best chance of straightening him out and would be better than swans or lions in a trade.

Ross would be perfect to help him, he did such a great job at Freo straightening out Harley Bennell, Shane Yarran, Jesse Hogan and Cam McCarthy. Really well considered by the media as usual

Saints culture is actually really good
A huge shift over the last couple of years

I personally don't like Ross but he does a great job at building a culture that attracts players

Wasn't the rumour (from this board) that they were prepared to offer their two 1sts in the last draft for Jamarra, but decided it against it after digging further into him?

That's my recollection.

This board would have still melted at the time but you'd take that every time in hind sight!

The club knows what it is doing. Whether it is contract extensions, list decisions, team selection, whatever. Altho not everything works out.

We aren't the poorly run club any longer that Kevin Sheedy lampooned us for, as we were back in the 80s.

Yep. They hired someone to see whats his lifestyle is like
Hawks did same thing with Bailey Sniff

 

[VitalDread]

Can we provide Saints English AA season
We might get a good pick for him

It really is becoming a major issue. How on Earth was this guy running around tonight the AA ruck just 18 months ago?

Where's the Media's heat on English?

$17m couldn't attract Callaghan across.
