May be George’s. Not 100% sure.

Not unless he was in Lord of the Rings

 

[Oh When the Saints]

Dow is a better player than Gresham. Better kick, just as quick off a step, better clearance player, finds more of the footy, bigger, stronger. Controversial take but reckon history might prove it right (here's hoping).

[Joffaboy]

i can show you my broken 5th metatarsal, . has 8 screws and a plate.

Weak. I didn't get it x rayed until I was home 6 weeks later.

Too late to do anything by then.

LeBron James foot is more attractive than Joffa’s.

Wtf is that? How do the NBA let mutants in?

 

[Diehard Saint]

Yeah, I had a look at Essendon's board, pretty much 20 of me on there.

Wash your mouth out…you’re not even close to that sort of delusional poster!

And see our midfield gets slaughtered next year and maybe 2025? Because Owens / Windhager and our 2023/2024 draftees are unlikely to be ready right away.

We came 6th this year where our midfield was the weakest part of the team , Steele was well below his best , Crouch was more than serviceable however Clark , Gresham and Ross were not the answer however throwing Sinclair in there a few times helped us out.

To add to the problem Bytel never showed enough by the sounds to be given a run and Jones never got on the park and Owens was required in the forward line and Windhager was sparingly used and when he was it was in the backline.

Roll on to next season - I'm pretty sure we will see a improved Steele , Crouch is always serviceable and with the forwards fit Owens will surely be given a good shot at the midfield and knowing he is one of our best players at winning the ball - I wouldn't say he is not ready the way he played this year.

On top of this Windhager will only get stronger and better and these 2 kids have the determination to make a impact now and with the addition of Dow and hopefully a rejuvenated Clark , Jones and players like Sinclair getting a spell in the middle we should be in far better shape.

I think a lot of our growth is going to be just from Owens, Windhager and Philipou becoming all that much stronger and faster and being able to have more midfield minutes. None of them will be able to be be pure mids just yet but I can see Owens and Windhager both doing 50/50 splits between the Forward and backlines.

This x1000

 

[bladeyy21]

Are we still likely to get pick 13 compo for Gresham? Feels like the whole ess-stk shiel-gresh talk has faded away, amongst the journos too

Or we could have had both.

 

[Max the great]

Have we ever considered how collectively bad we are for each other's mental health in here?

Yep. Heaps. We don't need you to prove your virtue and be convinced how decent you are. We are all adults... Don't need superheroes in here.

 

[Max the great]

Things of f'kn beauty, especially with the 5th metatarsal broken in three places.

Had to troll through my old photos for this so enjoyView attachment 1825735

Walked 10 ks on it the next day through Edinburgh. Felt like I was in one of those drug fcuked scenes from Trainspotting.

High chance I think, even James Jordan / Flynn is getting a second round pick, if it’s true Gresham is signing for $850k with the bombers, along with his age, should trigger band 1 comp easily.

Shiel if we can get for a 3rd round pick, then it’s a win-win.

Opposite imo. Caring deeply about something you have zero power to change - the STKFC - is completely irrational. Going somewhere you can be surrounded by other crazies who feel roughly the same way and go through similar ups and downs can assuage the negatives slightly.

It's like if you can't quit drugs then at least find a connect that sells you good quality.

Trade latest: Blue requests move, Coffield-Henry link to unlock deal
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...l/news-story/6229f02cb8b65f3c1d5b2bf131c6049a


HS have put a new article up saying Saints will do well with Gresh pick due to market conditions. Used James Jordan as an example.

Also we are looking likely to use Coffield pick to get Henry and a late pick to get Dow. Also it will be a late pick for Shiel if we do it and by the end the Saints should have 3 picks inside 32.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

Looking forward to Dow's helicopter meat pie floaters to hit the feet of King for the next 10 years

Pie floaters are considered a culinary delicacy to some...I like mine with pepper and salt, no sauce.

 

[gringo2011]

My “mate”

‘ I can’t ever remember seeing a worse kick in Navy than Paddy Dow and I so wanted him to be a gun - can find the ball though’

Being a human bin-chicken, I watched Dow with a keen interest at VFL level think a top 2 DP would be a handy pick up. Honestly must have seen his worst patch of footy because he made Clint Jones look elite by foot. The announcers were saying he was going at 35% or something. He had about 28 kicks and he turned most over. Blind bombed most of them straight to the opposition backs.

When he got back in the side this year he looked to dish off and play to his strengths at least. He has a bit of a Stuv ability to hit the ball moving and busts through packs though. Like Jones he adds a bit of something different to the midfield mix too.
