List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2
If rumours are true and the bench is going to 5 with the sub being ditched, having a second ruck as a starting 23 will become the norm. Particularly in a side like ours where one of the rucks (Ro) is a legitimate forward threat and extremely mobile. Sydney basically do it now with Grundy &... -

Autopsy Round 3, 2024: Essendon v St.Kilda
That was less about Battles kick and more about Butler’s fake attempt to mark overhead. There should be a team rule to never kick to Butler overhead. He just does not put in any effort in to at least halving the contest. He intentionally runs under the ball to make it seem the kick was poorly... -

Autopsy Match Simulation, 2024: St.Kilda v Essendon
Mitchito I initially compared to Kouta. After deeper thoughts, he plays exactly like Phil Carmen from the Magpies. For those old enough to remember I’d like to know if the comparison rings true. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Autopsy Match Simulation, 2024: St.Kilda v Essendon
4, potentially 5 AA by years end I’m guessing. Atleast one of Wilks & Sincs, Marshall a lock, King with a cap & a Coleman, and NAS will certainly give it a nudge. Top 4 a real chance, injuries permitting obviously. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

We need to talk about Mitchito. Kid is Kouta reincarnated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Training 2024 Pre-Season
Did a bit of work with the mids in a drill transitioning from defence in to attack. Full contact drills at the feet of high impact pack contests from long balls coming in. Tried to do a bit too much on occasion but the amount of skill the boy has (and his size considering his age) is immense... -

Howard is the new Longer. Traded in for a medium-high price, has a number of rusted on fans that point to a particular stat that backs up their claim, but reality is, like Longer, he’s a dud and easily replaced/upgraded. The sooner he’s out of the equation the better. No coincidence that... -

Autopsy Round 24, 2023: Brisbane v St.Kilda
This would have to be the worst take I’ve ever seen on any online forum. Absolute stinker! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Dal was All Australian in 2005. By 2009 he was miles better than Billings has ever been (keep in mind he won AA in ‘09 also). Sure, he was coasting and needed a rocket, but they’re not in the same galaxy aside from both having a perhaps laconic approach, maybe unfairly, due to their skill... -

This is the game Mowens will explode. I expect 50% midfield time and going forward he will terrorise the blues. Predicting a 25+, 4 goal game. He’s been just paddling for a few weeks, he’s ready for his next step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Autopsy Round 6, 2023: Carlton v St.Kilda
Rubbish. 1 out of theyre 5 goals from free kicks was maybe there. The other 3 + 1 ridiculous 50m penalty were all panic whistles with no look at what was going back at the defender. Horrible jumping at shadows by the umpires. 16 of Curnows 21 goals for the year from free kicks. That’s as... -

I love Roma, pretty much my favourite player, but I thought tonight was his worst for the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

If we start winning we’ll, will the Pies players start to ‘care about their opponents’? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

At this point of the season, round 3, Mitchito has kicked more goals than Eddy did in any of his complete seasons as a Saint. I still don’t know what role Eddy played in those teams, but it’s certainly different to what Owens is doing, which is playing super high level football. Sent from my... -

One good thing about ticking off another decade is I’m at stage in my life now where I can drop the years of football watching to add weight to any comparisons. In that, in 40 years of supporting the Saints, I can’t recall a player that thrives on body contact as much as Owens. Absolutely...
