TRAINING TODAY : went down today following comments
land of the giants :
Winx . amazing one on one marking with best defenders marked it time and again , also to some running ( Rough head is attached to his hip talking to him all through training )
Carlisle : no pies over off season happy enthusiastic hes back !
Brown : I thought last year he had made major strides in mobility well folks hes improved even more. if someone else want to play full back they have a real challenge , i had him as first replaced not sure
Dougal : Carsilie type marks the ball his height and speed will be telling on lynch and brown types ( if he gets a game in front of our brown ) can kick really well mobile "we have done well"
Ryder : think hes been on the Carlisle diet , i thought he looked heavy at port last year not now , we will call Ryder to Hill a fair few times this year that chemistry is evident already
Marshall : he actually look short in that group still has great hands and amazing follow up , if you didn't want to ruck him he could be old fashion ruck rover
Ryan Abbott :Nice movement and would be considered to be good with the ball for ruckman , hes no physical beast

smooth movers :
Brad Hill : if he plays the way he trains man oh man , i was looking for a favourite out of the new mob and i think ive found it . the ground he covers and the ease of ball handling
Jack Billings : to me he remains underrated by people but he just looks so assured big year ahead
Dalt Langland : this kid had no pre season last year , he is making up for it this year will not die wondering not as sure with ball in hand
Ben Paton : he has really hit the gym and is clean Geary will want to be bloody good to keep him out and right now he doesnt look that good
hunter Clark :not sure were you play him but anywhere would be fine , really seemed to be covering the ground and taking the ball with confidence
Gresham : the zip zip bunny just got fit
Phillips : needs urgency in ball movement , you can see him thinking what to do
savage : a bit like brown i thought he would easily get overtaken , not by the way he trained with desperation and aggression

the grunts :
Dunstan : pushing again on his weakness "run"
Seb : is what you expect cant get much better
Bytel : ive put him in the grunt rather than smooth . seems more like a seb ross type give it off to player in better position , great vision and it a one move give off to first option ( one of my bug bears is not taking the first option or having the ability to ) this kid can and will . his resting position will have to be
forward not a wing , he has to play in the guts so who does he push out ? i think he will push someone out who i dont know

second section :
the utilities :
Membry : will get same as last year but hopefully wont be key forward if they play Ryder and Marshall he will always be the third tall
Marsh : See why they kept him on the list marsh on membry would be a very willing battle and im not sure in marshes slimed down state it would be to one sided . who ever he plays on will be sore even at training , hes not clumsy hes deliberate in his attack on the man .
Battle : the interesting one for me super fit super good great mark , if you didn't have Membery i know were he'd play if you didn't have wilkie and Roberton i know were hed play , seems to have lightened up , not saying hes not built like a bull just a leaner one
Wilkie : once again i thought he might get pushed out till you see him train . compared to last year he seems as if he know knows hes good and once he got beated by battle and man he went twice as hard the next time .
Claverino : even with his height he is a half back flanker ,he looks really good way more coordinated
Mckenzie : read phillips review super brave but just takes to much time to make decision and go both of them need to learn off savage first action is to run not stop and prop
Austin : OK not much change
Roberton : rusty and restricted activity

restricted activity , long , geary , hind coffield all except geary doing punishing runs
not cited : hanabery , sinclair kent , parker webster

 

[Palantine]

sorry if mentioned but did you clock Jones CS?

 

[Keg on legs]

Where exactly do you find training schedules? I'd love to make the trip down from g-town one day to check out the lads and new digs but it's a long way to go if there's nothing happening

 

[saints man]

Would love to hear another persons opinion on the players who has seen them train

There is always something happening down at St Kilda Kegs! You should know that my friend!
Maybe not quite like during the Butters reign!

But at the very least you might see Satan trying to dethrone Matt Finnis from the
CEO position by shagging his assistant!
Apparently intellectual property is very important these days!

 

[curly saint]

sorry if mentioned but did you clock Jones CS?

missed a couple of players but dont think zak jones was there certainly not training with group
butler and lonie did train butler looked really good in what he did lonie from my times viewing never trains really well and thought this was the case again

If she’s intellectual maybe she could be the CEO

What didnt like my opinion

Thursday at 10am was always a sure bet under Richo but Ratten changed up the start times week by week when he took over, so it can be hit or miss.

Wednesday is generally our day off so dont both then, but every other week day morning you're a good chance.

 

[saints man]

What didnt like my opinion

I did and thank you for writing that update. It has got me excited but to just hear the same feed back from one or two more people would get me erect

 

[prophetic1]

is Matty PARKER training at the present..hows he looking ? I guess they cant change that much in a few weeks but one does like to dream that they've grown wings and breathe out fire from both nostrils...!!

 

[Impatient Saint]

I see it a different way. I think this embarrassing behaviour should be highlighted and called out in open forum. And with the utmost respect, I don't care if he can't defend himself. He drove away many good people from this board over the last few years and was one of the main proponents behind most of the arguments we used to have on here.

He had a long history of abusing other posters and threatening them with physical violence so I'm not sure what decency you saw in him.

He says he was a big advocate for mental health yet continued to be divisive and abusive.

We have that mental health thread stuck for a reason - you are very active there and offer great support to those there that need it - but with the amount of messages we received about his appalling behaviour, he was going to be shown the door anyway.

He wasn't the first and won't be the last person that has their privileges removed and I hope the general consensus now is that this forum is a much more civil place to be.

Would love to get back on topic - yes I know I'm not helping!

Who did he threaten with physical violence?

When are you going to admit you have a major conflict of interest with your position at the club and being a moderator on this public forum? There is no way you can remain objective as moderator with your involvement and VDS being permanently banned just highlights that. He had been on the forum years before you became a moderator I dont think its any surprise that he is now banned.

You're wrong on this one,
It was on here and people seen what was said, it was 100% the right decision and he has no one but himself to blame that he is no longer on here.
And for its worth I think we are lucky to have the Mods we do have on here

 

[Joffaboy]

I am in touch with VDS via PM and it was his decision to leave.

I didn't see the alleged threats but if they happened it is the correct thing for him not to post.

Reckon people should move on.

Thought would give an update of sorts for those interested, went to function tonight at RSEA.

Upon of completion of women’s fixture the first sod will be turned for the Health & Wellness centre
including specialised pool....it will named after the great man Danny Frawley.
Finnis announced it tonight ...

Lade gave update on players .

Anyone in doubt how good is Dougal Howard Shouldn’t he is a gun , talked in raptures about the kid.
Said Jones as we generally know will bring speed & toughness on the edges , something team needs.
Talked about Hill said he brings enormous energy to group , particularly verbal ,Lade said the Saints
are a very quiet team not anymore with Hill buzzing around .
Talked about Ryder ...very very motivated to prove something lost 7kg since he last played for Port Adelaide
wouldn’t be talking about him playing at Sandringham much on a mission.
Butler brings edgy speed to front half , also some very good IP with him to add to StKilda new style of
play which will mean moving the ball faster and defending significantly better than we have in the past.

Who is the most impressive & improved player on our list .......Bytel.

Spoke conservatively about Max King ...said his body is in shape , but a 200cm forward is not going
to be allowed to run & mark the ball in the big league , without developing a forward craft and is working
on it.

Ratten’s focus is bringing old players in rooms pre / post game bringing enthusiasm to match days .

Really enjoy reading things like this. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Haven’t been this excited about the Saints for a long time, I feel like so many pieces of the puzzle are starting to fit.

Thanks for the update. Naming the new stand after Frawley is a fantastic tribute to him.

Bytel is quickly becoming the player I am most looking forward to seeing play. I haven't heard a bad word about the kid yet and he keeps appearing more and more impressive every week.

Love that initiative from Ratts. Our club is in great hands with him as coach.
