I see on Saintsational Forum they have a thread discussing the all time best indigenous players to play for the Saints. Now since I cant post on Saintsational, I thought I might start that thread here.
My best.
.No.1. Neil Elvis Winmar
2nd. Robbie Muir.
3rd. Xavier Clarke.

Bring back Billy Longer. Wont get anywhere playing Tom Hickey. He may take an extra couple of marks a match, but he does not have Bill's fire. Bill gets more hit outs and does more tackles a game than Hickey.
The season so far.
Bill played first two matches (injured in the second)...
I am sure I started a thread on this, but I cant find it.
Of the kids in this coming draft pool, Bailey Williams is the only ruckman I know. The King boys are tall enough, but I dont think ruck work is their go.
who else might get drafted as a ruckman this year?
Rookie Draft is today.
We are supposed to be picking up Lew Pearce and Tom Lamb. Any chance we reneg and pick up someone else? Holmsey to me would be a better pick up than Lew Pearce.
It is time I started this thread for 2017 being Naidoc week and all. Help me out if you know of any I have missed, because there does not seem to be a lot around this year.
Joel Garner, 18yrs, Vic. 183 cm. 81 kg. Balanced Mid.
Zac Bailey. " " N.T. 180 " 68...
Looking through our list I see a lot of improvements required if we are to be a premiership contender.
1. Hickey. .. We need to trade one of our ruckmen. We dont need 4 - 5 out of 40.
2. Carlisle... Keep.
3. Steven....Keep.
4. Gresham..Keep
5. Savage... Can be improved on.

Why have the Brownlow votes for each player been removed from the players part of the Saints website?
I used to enjoy reading each players success with the umpies votes. Now all you have are the points allotted by journos I think. From memory Roo had over 90 votes and Joey over 60. But the...
According to Tony74 on Saintsational, the team is to have a hit-out, maybe three quarters, on Tuesday. Nothing on the Saints site about it yet. Also time and venue have not been mentioned either.
I hope we have a team in the Womans Leagtue when it starts up. We would be much better positioned with Father/Daughters than we are with Father/Sons. Just imagine, a team with three Spuds. three Pluggers, three Burkies, three Harvs. What a start!!!!!!
PSD did not happen. perhaps this is the end of it.
Rookie draft was over and done with very smartly. Especially compared with the normal draft.
I am happy with the Saints selections. Nick O'Kearney and Nick Couglan, two good gets. We picked up Josh saunders off our senior list as we said we...

KPFwds.
Kristian Jaksch V.
Mason Shaw WA
Joe Daniher Vic F/S Essendon (Determined by ladder position)
James Stewart Vic F/S Collingwood...
How will clubs be compensated if :-
(a) They lose a player to GWS, how will the picks be chosen?
(b) they lose a player of 10 years standing to any club, where will the compensatory picks be?

This will be the fourth year that I have started this thread. It seems to upset some posters, but I can assure you I have only the greatest admiration for the champions of the past such as Polly Farmer, Sid Jackson, Nicky Winmar, Gilbert McAdam and his brothers, the Krakourers, Robbie Muir,and...
