Jimmy sounds like a busy schedule. We are in Chiang Mai now and next off to Cambodia, then Laos. Glad to see the Thai Saints are so strong.

As an interstate and now overseas travelling Saints tragic, I love the pre-season with the training, reports and development of our new and younger players. This is a time of hope, promise and success still to come. Pre-season is non existent to most of us without the track reports, wild...

Sorry I missed that. Has Crouch retired? I thought we just selected him on the rookie list

And that Saints flew him over to Melbourne for the medical and testing. They mentioned that he is 209cm?? Interesting.

You think our attitude of supporting the club is timid and dull, yet you slam the club for being aggressive and trying to bring in new, young players from the draft. Work out exactly what it is that you want, or is this simply complaining and grandstanding for the sake of it.

We left home a year ago on our drive around the world. After Australia, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Malaysia, we will get to Europe in 18 months or so. If by then we are winning, I will message you to watch a match.

Myself and my wife have both just had our annual interstate memberships renewed. Won't attend any games, but will support the club no matter who they trade, delist, sack or give away.

Yes they do, but trading out their pick 9 now for a future pick gives them 3 first round picks over this year and next. Not trading it, if there is a bid for Kako before pick 9, that eats their pick and they end up with only 2 first round picks over two years. So for the Injectors its either...

But doesn't this give Essendon 2 first round draft picks over two years (including Kako), versus the scenario outlined a number of times here, where they get 3 first round draft picks over two years (including Kako)?

Here is the reply to post to the hawk fan: "Josh Battle, a Hawk, but was it the best? In a nest full of hopes, you took a bold quest. With Casey and kids, you thought it was right, But whispers of doubt now shadow your light. From St. Kilda you soared, with dreams in your stride, Yet now in...

I'll be shocked that after tomorrows announcement of the pick we receive, that it will be the end of discussions on the pick we got, or should have got, or were gifted, or robbed of

If you truly want to make father son fairer and more equitable, then lets bring in some changes: Father son selections give a disproportionate advantage to successful teams. With the minimum number of qualifying games for father / son to be eligible, being 100 games, teams that were at the...

Didn't say that North should go for more picks, or even deserve more picks but would bet that they are investigating how to improve their picks in a deal with Richmond.

The opposite will be the case. By Bassett making this such a huge issue, it would be pouring petrol on the fire by not giving up pick 8. The AFL likes to pretend all is fair and equitable and can point to the justice of the system when we get our first round pick. With Bassett saying nothing we...

If Richmond do end up with 8 picks under pick 30, then sensible list management would be trying to slide some of these to 2025. Otherwise you have a bulge of 8 players coming up at the end of their initial contracts, being in similar development time lines etc. They have the picks to do very...

Boring accountants. No Tom Cruise working there.

Couldn't agree more. From child care, wife / spouse / partner support services, financial advice, mental health, marriage / relationship counselling, employment services, spouse / partner career advice, family engagement etc all should be areas we are working to be best in class. This is not...

Battle is yet to find out that this means, that his little one will be tied on a short lead, in a windowless, sound proof room, with 10 other little hawk infants. Free childcare out at the tip. But there will be a coffee machine for the parents and carers.

Would think that those who do have true family connections actually don't advertise it, or continually bring it up. It would possibly only come up in a high news event eg club captain wanting to leave the club. There are lots of people with family, or inlaw family, friendship, football...

Or is this a Claytons bid? Is this the bid you have, when you are not having a bid. We are known to have a large cash pile we want to use, preferably on free agents. Essendon now has a disgruntled captain (who is contracted), for which there is little downside in this, in us seeing if we can get...

Yes, but what do you really think? Don't hold back.

And I like that you have number 4 hard and fast rule ready to bring in if needed.

Well that quickly killed that one lol Thanks ScrappyDo & beside the seaside

A purely speculative scenario for Saints: - Saints with picks 7 & 8 swap, pick 7 & Membrey to North for Pick 2 - North dont need more mid fielders and can secure a forward plus not reaching and overpaying for a key position player in the draft. Saints secure one of the key mids we want and...

Not sure where their is a benefit to Houstons manager in doing this, as Houston is contracted to Port and any discussion, or speculation wont change his contract terms with Port.

May I suggest that Battle holds off on the banner run through until Round 1, 2025. - If he stays his banner run through with his daughter is to read "Strength Through Loyalty" - If he goes his banner run through with his daughter is to read "Sorry Saints, the $ Trumped My Values & Loyalty"

Is it bad that I had to go to the Essendon board to read their autopsy of todays match, before coming here to revel in our great win? Consensus on the Bombers board seems to be that we are crap, but that they are far, far, worse. This made todays win even better, by us letting the air out of...

Unfortunately it may not be a matter of us letting him go, but his desire to chase success with the Hawthorn dream. If money and terms are similar, it may be simply that Hawthorn has turned his head and he wants to go.

Great thing about hearing from the uniformed and intolerant, is the chance to illuminate your ignorance. The point of the story wasn't to make excuses for Collard, but simply that to say that sometimes there can be extenuating circumstances behind an incident. A story can be a way of showing a...

A swearing story. In the distant past when I was a primary school teacher, I had an 11 year old boy in my class who every second or third word he said was XXXX. It was so ingrained that even when he was trying to be polite, it would come out as Sir XXX can I go next in the XXXXing game etc...
