Official Club Stuff Trevor Barker Award 2024 Mon 30 Sept 7:30pm

[BrutThough]

I find the Battle stuff a bit over the top now actually. It’s hardly like he did a Jason Horne-Francis or something. And for his time here he always committed 100%. I mean, it’s easier for him to do that because he’s got an absolute cement head, but still. He must have said or done something on top of just leaving to **** the club off like this.

Suggests the text message story might be very true.

I have just realised I have seriously underrated how good Wilkie is and have just taken for granted that he wins his position every week.

 

[SaintOfLondon]

Well deserved wilks

Great stuff by the pres, he has my full support

Not surprised Marshall didn’t finish higher, his tap work at times was putrid, straight to opposition mids

Good to see three youngsters in the top 10 although Owens surprised me, didn’t think he had a great year

 

[Captain Paddy]

Saints only posting graphics for first and second is exactly the level of pettiness I need tonight

 

[Saints43]

Wilkie spoke very well.

I’d make him captain.

I’d run through walls for that bloke.

Cal said he'd run through walls for Steele.

Fair bit of a mention for Seb too

 

[Saints4ever]

Congrats Darcy Wilson
8th in BnF year 1 quite remarkable
Well played young fella keep cracking in

Was listening to Nathan Buckley on SEN.

He was asked if Ashcroft was ahead of Daicos at the same time.

He answered by mentioning Daicos, Sheezel, Ashcroft, Harley Reid saying they will all be stars and what was interesting he also mentioned Darcy Wilson with those guys and thought he was a serious talent.

That’s high praise to be mentioned in that conversation.

I also believe Darcy will be a super star.

Well done to the accountant from North Adelaide.

Dug up last year's top 10, and it included 9 who also featured in tonight's top 10 (Wilson replacing Crouch).

Hopefully the Poo breaks into the top 10 next year and Macrae to have a strong year and feature also.

 

[Saints4ever]

Great effort from Sincs to finish 2nd also having an interrupted pre season and injury early doors.

 

[Munga]

One of my favourite winning speeches. Loves his parents, and the finals are shit because we're not there.

Absolutely loved that he said he turned it off and he was pissed off.

Could see the fire burning.

Bucks knows when a bloke has the work rate to become a star.

Buckley respects Robert Harvey for a reason and you can say a lot about Buckley but **** me he put a lot of effort into his game.

1 thing I must give Battle credit for and his 3rd place also shows this.
When he had 1 foot out the door, which I believe he did for a long time, I don’t buy that he was undecided and 50/50 if he was staying.
Every week when he pulled on the jumper and ran out he gave 100 percent and was fully committed so props there Battle.

**** battle

 

[Ads734]

Didn’t like all the Bathle stuff tbh. Spiteful, disrespectful and took away from the evening. Ffs move on

 

[Saints4ever]

**** battle

I agree but players come and players go.
How did we end up with

Steele
Howard
Buttler
Higgins
Hill
Henry
Wood
Crouch
Jones
Stocker
Dow
Cordy
Campbell
Bonner

All come from other clubs.

While true, Battle's very good season saw both St Kilda and the Hawks up their offers to him.

100% it’s his lively hood and I’m sure he never considered half assing it because he was out the door.

 

[stfan]

Hopefully the Poo breaks into the top 10 next year

Pou was a different player when he came back in after his stint at Sandy. The start of a new and better Pou, and the Pou that we will now see more often.

Pou is only 19 yrs, 9 months. So he will only get better from now on.

Brad Hill finished 3rd in Freo’s BnF in 2019 after winning it in 2017…its swings and roundabouts I guess…

Also the quality of the teams and the midfields he performed against should give him a real boost to know he can do it against the best imo. Some of his tackling and use of his size really started to flourish.

 

[Saint Watto]

Very exciting so far. Hope they have Andy Zhang from Cherry on again this year. What a star he was last year.

Andy Zhang was absolutely hitting it out of the park last year............a crowd favourite.

 

[Saint Watto]

Great welcome to country. Aunty Joy acknowledging the struggles of indigenous players at the club in the 50's and how far we have come having the most first nation player in the league.

That was a truly tremendous speech she did..........the singing prior was magnificent.
