By the same token, Cotchin is an average disposer of the air conveyance and won't hurt you ... and has no gotten anywhere near his 2012 form since.
Martin is not adverse to turning it over (which I know many will ignore).
As an aside, I'd give my left nut for one of the Saints young key forwards.

St Kilda in 2016 had the easiest in season draw, Richmond on the other hand had the 2nd hardest. ( based on games 3-22, rounds 1/2 not counted )

Yep and if we make finals next year people here will be saying how it's cos of an easy draw (like people said the reason we made finals in previous years was due to that) and yet st kinda did well because they are "well coached and rebuilt properly"

 

[Nantes]

Not sure mate .... Jack Steven is as good a midfielder as there is running around in the AFL right now.
Armitage and Seb Ross are pretty handy and like the look of Billings.

I'm prepared to put my neck out there. I think they are doing a rebuild perfectly. Remember there is no such thing as a 'semi rebuild' or a 'mini rebuild', they are just renovations. And as for doing 'little rebuilds' that's just called progressing which is what all clubs do.

Do I think they could achieve success this year, again neck out, I think they could be a smokey. They haven't stockpiled older C graders just to make the finals and crash, they are building something more powerful IMO and whilst teams like GWS are making it hard to see a window, I think the Saints are ripe for 2018/2019 to give it a real shot.

Again, these are just words thrown together in an off the cuff opinion and they could get the spoon. But we'll see.

Agree brother. The saw the writing on the wall in 2012 after a sustained period of top four and just went for youth and got games into kids, hence their kids are further advanced then ours.

Agree. They went about it the right way. Parted ways with del Santo and while he had a couple of good years at Norf, it was the right thing. Kept hold of Montanga and Riewoldt and just brought in kids and traded well. Josh Bruce is a very underrated player and McCartin is a beast.

Love the look of their young forwards.

Maybe, judge Morrow can't count. Round 7 should have been 9 points with the deduction. Granted it only would have made his score 95-94 (imgur link if the below tweet doesn't work for you)
Minn made a fortune last night I bet

Middle judge had it about right with his score. Green was more offensive so deserves more points, Mundine mostly evaded but landed more hits
I reckon you take the 1 point deduction off Morrow in Round 7 and make Round 9 score 8-10 to Mundine. Green was going down in the 9th, he clinched to save it. Very rarely see 8's or tied 10's though, it's dumb

Of course fight could have been completely different if the ref had said "break" in the first round where Mundine got the cheap shot in

 

[DrMike]

Here's the cheap shot, pretty shit way to start the fight
I saw elbows from Mundine later in the fight too
Not that Green was a saint either, he punched after the bell around the 5th or 6th I think it was

I don't reckon McCartin will be anything special, personally.

Scary that I 100% agree with you on this

Actually in my view the saints have not "rebuild" perfectly, considering the huge amount of high end picks they have had at there disposal since lyon left. I do agree however that they were brave in removing Goddard and Dal Santo but they did not cut deep enough and then fell into the trap of continuing to play a large portion of there older 22 in way to many games. First with the excuse to protect the kids, which early was valid but then it has evolved to playing the older guys to "make finals" as was 2016.

Below is just a quick list of who played in 2016, how many games played and there age. Now which young kid, not getting games on there list will replace them without them falling down again?

Nick Reiwoldt Age 34 Games 2016 21
Montagna Age 33 Games in 2016 22
Gilbert Age 30 Games 22
Dempster Age 33 Games 19.

Short version, they should have bit the bullet and traded/ or played less games from the above group and pumped more games into the younger players on there list, they havent done that. The white knight ( pun intended) has missed a year of footy and wont alone fix there issues. they also did not need to stock pile C graders to make finals as they already had enough on there current list that still cant make finals. I am really interested to see how the Saints adjust when the above retire.

Some interesting points, with another view on the subject.

N. Riewoldt is the heart and soul of St. Kilda and could almost be used as an inspirational motivator in the same vein as B. Murphy. He is in so many ways to St. Kilda the equivalent of what Richo was to us. Not to mention he is still in exceptional form and is tracking nicely for a fluid transition development wise for their young forwards.

Montagna, not as much as above, but still a required player in my opinion, with money to spend and two first round draft picks (they will look heavily at mids) this year, he will be phased out smoothly one would think.

Gilbert and Dempster I concur with you.

I still stand by my opinion/prediction however, also I stated I'd put my neck on the line and even said they could get the spoon for all I know, but again time will tell. I don't want them to succeed (although they would be my second behind Richmond) and I'm all too aware of thinking the grass is greener on the other side.

 

[captain blood 17]

Right, gonna vent. Dyson Heppell gets named Essendons captain today. That has to be the second worst draft blunder behind Tambling. Dyson Heppell was just so ****ing obvious. We had the kid training with us FFS. But no, we go for some unknown that Francis gets a hard on for. We are still feeling the implications of that ****ING bust of a pick on toilet paper hammys Conca. If Jackson the useless campaigner wasn't so inept we wouldn't of been forced to trade pick 6 last year for starters. I don't wanna hear Conca is good, blah, blah, blah, he's not. He's a bust. Heppell is a gun. He should of been a tiger. **** me.

Anyone who vaguely follows the draft were WTF when Concas name was called out, 99% of us were expecting Dysons name to be called FFS

still too early to tell, but I would trade any of our key forwards for him (except Jack)
