They say the key to winning finals in any sport is having a great defence so another agile mature-aged big bodied defender with solid skills (ie: Marcus Adams at Bulldogs) would consolidate our back line (whether as back up or in the playing squad)

Currently Delaney doesn't cut it so we need to upgrade him - with Goddard and Coughlan still being quite young it might be another 3 or 4 years until they start to positively impact games consistently.

RE: outside speed - another Nicky Elvis Winmar would compliment our already solid inside game - we need x-factor - is it possible that we can clone him??
SPS?

Plugger, Mav Weller told me to my face numerous times that Lachie wanted to A) come home and B) come to the Saints.

Brian,Ghost and jaxons from ss all had the same info. There was a deal that didn't fall over the line in the last 48 hours of trade week. As far as I am concerned Ghost is the most knowledgeable person on this board with internal stkilda info. I back him with everything he says. Yet to be wrong with the info he has shared with me.
Why bother mate

My only reservation about Tom Lamb is whether he is any good at kicking the footy.
Last thing we need is another one who butchers the ball.
There would be much bleating on this board if Lamb gets slaughtered and doesn't give a chop out

purple might be in damage control. first time I can remember where sliding doors doesn't bag us!
I read it as StKilda may not be as crap as he thought they were two weeks ago.

The recruiters would be pretty sheepish.

Any thoughts on Broomhead from the Pies? OOC this year I think?. I don't know much about him but read somewhere that he's quick and a good kick and decision maker. Right age bracket etc. I think he's been injured and had a fair bit of VFL time. Also read he was BOG in the Pies VFL last week yet still not named in the Pies AFL side this week. He could want more opportunity. Worth a look or no?

Their zone includes locals in the Riverena I think they are very loosely local to an area the size of several European countries combined.
Been unbelievable for football in the Riverina. In the past 5 years we have gone from producing the odd player in the draft to several every year and have soared past rugby league in popularity.

Not really fair on the other sides though.

Yep OOC. Pick 20 from the 2012 draft.

184cm 83kg, so he's a good size even though he doesn't look it. Also correct that he's very quick and very skilled, so he'd be a great addition on both of those fronts.

You're right on the negative though as well, he just keeps getting injured, and on multiple different parts of the body too, which makes him hard to gauge; is he brittle or just unlucky?

Only 22, so he'd certainly fit our seeming 'growing together' MO.

The Filth would want the world for him though.

On the above, imagine the vitriol from the Filth fans if we managed to jag Broomhead the year after luring Freeman across... :D

Also, our U23 midfield would be rather nice;

RK: Longer - Ross - Freeman
CR: Broomhead - Acres - Billings

With Dunstan, Minchington (yes, he's only 22), Sinclair, McKenzie, Gresham and Templeton running though there as well.
