Seems like a lifetime ago now but he was a great Saint. Played big in big games. All the best to him, should’ve retired a Saint as well.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Crying out for a new coach and fresh approach for sure.

Should we swap

 

[Hawkboy62]

He should be under pressure.

They had their break-out season when they got an edge fitness-wise on the comp. Good on em but it didn't last and they didn't win a flag. Since being brought back to the pack fitness-wise they haven't really fired a shot with a good list. They are quite a dour and stodgy team really, even though they have flair players...

Crying out for a new coach and fresh approach for sure.

Hinkley has 3 years to go on his contract!

Yep, they are likely stuck with him unless Kochy coughs up the bucks to sack him.

Signing him for that long is a huge mistake IMHO.... similar to our * up with re-signing Richo.

And Freo.

I'd be more than happy to let Richo go back there and be re-united with Hinkley but don't want Hinkley near us so no swap for me, more a giveaway

Forget what the article was but in case it hasn't been mentioned, I read a day or two ago that GWS are under the salary cap pump, with someone on their list due to be the highest paid in the comp next year, at $1.4mil.

Guessing it's Jezza Cameron, on a back-ended deal. Was told when he re-signed that he re-signed for a larger amount than was being reported in the papers and that the deal was from memory for a mil a year.

The AFL won’t be happy . No S.A. or Queensland sides in the finals . Only one WA side . Still no Essendon or Carlton. A disappointing effort by the AFL !!!


Go Saints

Don't worry BT.....the AFL will try much harder for the 2019 season.

Yes was strong including their Cola and marketing $ being mentioned with Cameron at the time .

Was denied but clearly now correct.

 

[TheEnsign]

This Essendon team lost to Carlton during the year and won’t play finals. Justice.

Fixed it for you

Old cheats beat new cheats and the world goes around.

As of half time, Jackson Macrae is on track for a game of 50 disposals (18 contested), 18 marks, 12 tackles, intercept possessions and score involvements, 6 inside-50's, 4 clearances, 2 goals, 2 goal assists and 248 ranking points!

Against the best team in the comp!

 

[Saint Watto]

Looks like the Cats will have another 100 point win this weekend......103 ahead as of right now.

Great for the %.

How fortunate were they to get Freo and the Suns in the last 2 home games before finals.

Bit of a heartbreaker for the dogs. Difficult shot to win the game and it hits the post. They looked good today though.

Been a remarkable turnaround from them since about halfway through the 2nd quarter against us a few weeks ago. Been like the Dogs of 2016 just about since then.

He's had a great year and if the dogs weren't s**t he could have given the Brownlow a shake.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Pretty amazing that at if North and Adelaide win, there will be 4 teams who miss the 8, despite winning 12 games (usually considered enough to make finals). 3 of which will have a percentage of over 105!

Just goes to show that no matter how difficult times are, there's always someone worse off... um... more stupid than us.

 

[StFly]

What's this? Pies traveling outside Victoria and losing their superpower to lowly Freo atm?

 

[PoppedCorn]

C'mon Freo
Ffs.

Typical RL team, get a lead and try to hold then fail dismally and scramble.

Only question was if the Pies woke up to it or not, was afraid them having to hop on a plane might have made them stupid.

 

[PoppedCorn]

******* useless hacks
Lol

 

[StFly]

Positivity thus far: We are not Carlton.

Fmd old mate Firstname Surname is having a howler...
