I saw you blabber on constantly about Rozee but as I recall it you were simply describing your arse cheeks.

And I certainly wasn't swayed by all that begging!

He has done more in one game than your love child has done in four years

 

[Sab22]

Don't want Ben King just yet. I think its probably for the best, if we let GC develop him, and steal him as FA. Or do that Lever type, lets see how he goes before jumping the gun. I'm hopeful but theres no evidence that he'll turn out a gun.

 

[Sab22]

I'm also hoping we are into Luke Hodge. Everyone makes out Mitchell as next Clarkson, but I think its Hodge, I expected Lions to surge but not this much, large of that is due to Hodge.

He would make the perfect replacement for Richo imo. But obvs he needs to do all that assistant coach stuff. He's presence is enough

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

paddy was never a once in a generation tall forward. i haven't heard anyone describe him like that. people more identified him as a throw back to something from 20 years ago. the paddy selection will go down as the worst pick 1 selection in the history of the modern.

Here we go again.

He was my first choice i was near begging for us to take him . In saying that i have faith in Max unlike that other big forward we drafted

Is Rozee an inside bull? What we need is a Tom Mitchell/Lachie Neal/Patrick Cripps type hopefully Bytel can turn out to be one, Unfortnarely Maccartin has not worked out so far, and King does look like a special player, so we have to take him.. the question would be what to do with Maccartin.

Looking at the midfield options below, we really need the next groups to step up, we need 6-8 going through the midfield in a game..

Our midfield stocks
Stars:
- Steele, Ross, Steven, Gresham

Dependable:
- Newnes,

Could be guns:
- Hannerbury, Sinclair, Clark, Acres, Coffield

Question marks:
- Philips, Bytel, Paton, Langlands,

Not good enough/too old
- Dunstan, Armitage

 

[Mighty_sainter]

At school footy he does. We have to wait and see in afl footy. Also don’t like the idea of 3 marking forwards especially if one is learning the game.

He did it against the north Melbourne vfl team? Played on some seniors body’s and killed it. He’s a star

I am jealous of port though, they got 3 mid guns Rozee, Duursma, Butters in one draft, but they already have Rockliff, Boak and Ebert and a good ruck to get the ball.

When was that? Must have been 2 years ago

It was Ben playing along side Rankine and Luko in an AFL academy match versus the Norths ressies.

So not our guy?

No, but looked a hell of a lot like him!

Same thing though, got confused in the womb and doubled up.

Worst pick 1 selection? Maybe, but it's not like Petracca is lighting the world on fire either.

Last year mate, before he did his knee in April. Also the draft class this year litterly has no key forwards to even compare with max. A lot of very decent midfielders this year

 

[StCicatriz]

He's playing and he's contributing. Give me that any day of what we currently have.

**** oath! What a selection!

[gringo2011]

It will because I think he'll be the only #1 pick who will end up not playing 75/100 games.

In time no one but Saints fans will remember Paddy could actually play really well when given half a chance. Remember that game against Rance where he took him to the cleaners before breaking his collarbone. When he could actually launch into packs and take marks like he did against Hawks in Tassie.

In saying that if we go back to 2014 I'm comfortable with the decision to draft Paddy without rehashing things, we simply couldn't see him getting 8 concussions in 40 odd games or whatever.

Edit-
Fmd, I just checked, Paddy has only played 35 games. I don't think the bloke is going to play 50 games

2011 was a good draft for us where we got Webster, Newnes and Ross but then we really ran pretty badly most drafts with around one long term quality player per year at best. Paddy and Hugh are off set by Mc Kenzie and Lonie both being capable players at least otherwise from our place in the draft we really blew it.

Correct this was last year, Ben King was named BOG and the academy side won. Ben had 20 touches aswell.

Bytel played really well through the midfield in that game just quietly.

 

[nitewalker13]

Few of our key players are out and in today's game against Freo, we had 2/3 passengers. Our reserves are not doing that good in VFL.

We have very young playing group and if we don't do well this year, we may lose some good players.

Whatever happens, we need to sort out our recruiting otherwise it will be back to 1980s.

From what I’m hearing. The vfl side is struggling due to a lack of tall forwards. Rowe King Paddy all not playing. Wilkie would of been pencilled in to be a regular had it not been for Roberton.

Yesterday’s result sucked. But I saw a lot I liked. Especially with our leadership to get the game back on our terms. We will need to be better going forward as we lacked runners behind the ball to break lines. So for me, I want to see a Hind get a chance.

Kent and Dunstan can get dropped for mine. Clark I thought did some good things and the pace of the game got him a few times. Acres and Sinclair on a final warning.

Billings and Gresh. When can we realistically talk about them as stars? Like do we need to see this for another 10 weeks for example?

Everyone says it was ben.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Nope, Max kicked 2.2 against North Melbourne while Ben played in defence.
