An article here on Yahoo7 about it. Funny stuff! https://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl/a/29822362/tex-walker-and-kyrgios-resume-twitter-beef/?cmp=twitter

I have to admit, putting a highlight of yourself was a tad toolish

Saints really do not have a choice.

Good play saints if you can't win it does not mean you can allow your opponent become stronger.

True but i can't really say that they would consider each as rivals

Whats the requirement for making the state combine? 1 afl club nominating you?

 

[Carnthedockers]

Surely thats overs? Mediocre back and forward imo..

Two clubs I think. Or it was last year iirc

I think it's three. If you're the only club I believe you can test them yourself.

Or I'm way off base.

I thought 3 was to make it to the national combine?

But second half of the season all the team we play apart from hawthorn , eagles ,n. Mel that we lost are bottom team. That why we need to utilise this weird talent we got play him against weaker team. ( gws, st kilda, the blues).weaker team don't punish us as much when turn over than big team.

No I said his disposal was good in the second half of the season. i thought he had a solid season overall and performed pretty well in the finals. He isn't a superstar but he does ok.

Just said I openly bias against him that's all. I remember somebody posted they wanted to throw their remote at the TV watching him play so I am not the only one been critical on him.

I know you are not the only one. And I can understand why people get a bit upset with him. But personally, I quite liked his season. I thought it was better than last years and importantly for him he didn't fall apart in the finals. He was quite composed this year and reasonably consistant. But I found the way we played in the second part of the season very uninteresting, so I haven't watched replays as often as I usually do. So if I saw the replays I might change my mind a bit. Instinctively though, I liked his year.

OK enough time on him , don't want to get my blood pressure up

Certainly used to be 3. Not sure what it is currently. Probably same.

If you're the only one then, as posted above, the club can do their own version.

I assume you're referring to Carlisle for pick 5 - I agree. Most seem to think that's a fair deal. Not sure if I'd use the term 'mediocre', but I agree he's not worth top 5.

I know Hawks have pushed the agenda, but if I were in the Saint's shoes I'd probably hang on to my pick myself.

It's what they had to do ... and we should be glad they bit on it.

Any news on whether Aaron black has been approached? Considering we could get him cheap (pick 53) as he's fallen well down the Oder at the Roos and they want him off the books... He could be a good option up front

It was pick 25, wasn't it?

St Kilda traded pick 12 for Lee, pick 24 and 43
