Then pretty much contradict the rankings by saying the forwards have a lot of upside this season and the defence is relatively strong. The sad part is they get paid...Clearly we are doomed for the season and the AFL may as well give the premiership to Richmond right now.
Rated 16th for forwards (below Carlton - gf!!) and 16th for backline - jeez what are they going to say about the mids!!!

Dude he didnt make his debut till last year?
The article lost me when it listed Josh Bruce for forward depth. IMHO a large part of the reason our forward line was so dysfunctional in 2018 was his absence. His high work rate, the way he blocks for his teammates and the way he hits the packs hard were sorely missed (All the stuff he does without ball in hand goes largely unnoticed). He looks superfit and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action in 2019.Clearly we are doomed for the season and the AFL may as well give the premiership to Richmond right now.

Yes well pointed out .His leading patterns and gut running up the ground create space for others to fall in behind him .But this will never be an obvious stat on Champion data .The article lost me when it listed Josh Bruce for forward depth.

Young and Parker also look like they might give the forward line a good shake up. All the added competition for spots can only help to make us a better team.
He got dropped before he got injured might have something to do with it.The article lost me when it listed Josh Bruce for forward depth.

His form was not great last year but to quote an article published on the SAINTS website on the 14.4.18
"Bruce had been carrying soreness but there had been no major concerns about him playing through that".
He then had scans and it was revealed that he had stress fractures in his back. He got over that injury and he was set for a return until he fractured his leg at training.
When Bruce is injury free and playing in form, he is in our best 22.
Hi Saints.
How is my boy going - Dean Kent? Hope he gets fit and firing. If he can get a good run with injury I promise he is a bargain and you will love him. I’d take him back in a snap too. I hope he goes well and puts the injury stuff behind him and shows you all what he can do. He’s a really committed mongrel when fit with a great long kick and when he tackles a bloke they stay tackled. I miss him already.
Thanks but I would like to trade for Max Gawn. Name your price.Hi Saints.

Hard to tell honestly but seems to be training pretty normally. Lets just hope he makes it to round 1 without mishap.Hi Saints.

So do you reckon he's a HF or a winger?Hi Saints.

HF would be my instinct. He’s a good kick for goal anSo do you reckon he's a HF or a winger?
I remember the recruiting staff calling him a HF but saying they thought he'd fit in nicely further up the ground. From his stats it looks like he's a pretty accurate kick for goal which we desperately need from our HF's.
I’d play him HF. He’s a decent kick for goal, good tackler and has very good sprint speed which serve well in the forward half. He’s less suited to the mega endurance, trotting up and back the field a zillion times that you might want on a wing.So do you reckon he's a HF or a winger?

Intra club match next month. Seasons nearly here. Wow.
