The reactions from subscribers on The Age have a very different flavour to this thread:

Saints land De Koning on eight-year mega deal

St Kilda have secured their second multimillion-dollar signing in the space of two weeks as Carlton ruckman Tom De Koning committed to joining the Saints on an eight-year deal.

I sincerely hope you all end up being right and those people end up being wrong.

Time will tell.

Welcome to the Saints Tom.

Welcome to the Saints Tom.

The club is making moves and taking risks.

Who dares wins.

Who dares wins.

Or..... a fool and his money are easily parted.

There's an old saying for everything.

Time will tell where the wisdom was. Hopefully with the Saints.

SOS signs TDK, JSOS and bids on Harry Dean with our first pick.

Beep Beep Beep

How will we even fit all these players on the field?!

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Is he an inside/outside combo mid? Nas is more outside than inside. The past coaches always just thought the answer to our poor forward entry, poor general skill level is outside class hence Hill, when our biggest issue is to get the ball and get it cleanly so he can release it to a running player streaming forward, if we can do that, then the whole team's skill level will instantly improve. Flat footed and skills under pressure are never going to result in quality football.

Whist Hall, Garcia, Philipou and Windhagher have shown good signs, we still need more mids who can win the first ball, can either burst out himself or has the nous and composure to bring it to the outside. Along with a better tap Ruckman, that's how we will improve, less panic kicking, possession under pressure.

In the last 10 years, you can put prime Carey, Lockett and Dunstall in our team, they'll still struggle because how poor our skill level is and the long bomb down the line 100% of the time is nothing but a losing strategy in the age of uber floods and spare men in defence. So, the best way to win is to get the ball out of the centre / clearances first and quickly transition it outside then forward with speed.

Personally, that’s Boxmania. And I generally hate people getting up and about outside flash. But Box, Garcia, Pou. Hall hardly a shrinking violet either. I’m not necessarily full bore sunshine and lollipops either. Our young mid plus mid-capable has been transformed in 12 months. Nas out of nowhere mid development, Hugo continuing, Windy continuing, Hall and man beast Box, and perhaps confirmation of the game changed from the old “ruck rover”, “centre”!

I think we just pick the best 23 yeah?

Safe to say Cuddly Ross will be 6ft under preseason day 1.

Highest pressure season coming up in 15 seasons to show something. We will need the bubble back to block out the grub media taking shots at the slighted inkling that could mean we made a mistake, I expect a story on almost every loss

If it blows up in our faces then we hit the drafts post tassie coming in, but a taking risks beats being dull, we flat out do not have the creative accounting to be dull like a cats or have nepo baby shenanigans like the nepo baby clubs

Its go time.

Glorious

 

[Falchoon]

It is kinda sad how many "DVD BOX SETZ" references that opposition fans are doing.

It's a 21 year old dated reference. ****ing hell when we do something it triggers the shit out of people, like a national party member reeing over net zero.

I prefer the game where we put 196 points on them, though the 91 point win at Princes Park goes well too.

They've been pretty shyte since we pinched Aaron Hamill so there are a few to sit back and enjoy.

Didn't you hear, son, they are scrapping the sub rule next year!

 

[Hubnester]

Has this been confirmed? That would be amazing, I absolutely hate the sub rule.

Yeah well l hope they've figured out not to run the players into the ground before the season starts.

 

[Joffaboy]

Who is TOC?

Tiam O'Connell of course.

Phft, Greg Williams’s daughter told me this two weeks ago. (If you know you know)

[SainterinSydney]

If tomorrow Flyin Ryan requests a trade to us and JSOS confirms he is signing with us, my head will explode!

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Elliot would be rolling in his grave.

OMG need footage.

 

[moirae42]

Rather salty bunch of cents over there.

 

[carlton_99]

Just mentioned in the TDK general forum thread that we will bid on Harry Dean with our first pick and this Blues' supporter says, "there is no universe where that ever happens".

Apologies for the intrusion but why lie about something that can easily be checked? I said there is no universe we would ever use the TDK compo pick to match a bid on Dean.

But you will...

 

[carlton_99]

But you will...

If there is any chance of a bid the pick will be moved on like every club does if they have a father-son or NGA prospect at that part of the draft. They can even do it on draft night if they wanted to

 

[SainterinSydney]

We are being fact checked by Carlton supporters, lads! This is becoming a legendary thread--first, salty Port supporters and now the Carlscum!
