cool story Gramps
It is great to see the club step outside of the draft high picks and trade for moneyball. Almost an entire new team in the footy dept this year so have to make up for a poor last few years. They're not A graders (possibly Hill aside), but they don't need to be, they're an upgrade on what we have, they offer something we lack and will alter the dynamic of our side.Good to see saints doing some shifting and landing targets.
Only concern is that their doing another Port, loading up on players. They have no mid A graders which could hurt them
Hopefully I'm wrong, but they need more mids. If they lose Bruce and Steven, they're new recruits don't even replace them

Doesn't help when their best forward in Bruce is leaving. That's a big hole to fill, won't be replaced with the players they are bringing in.
Butler would be great for Dees. I'm surprised they didn't at least ask. Not sure on Jones though. Can be a butcher and I don't think Saints need more average ball use.Honestly what are they doing wrong? I mean they’re doing everything right by the look of it. Personally as a Melbourne supporter I am absolutely livid we aren’t throwing an offer to good to refuse to Butler and Hill. It’s down to St Kilda or Carlton for Butler and they’ve secured Hill who at 26 has plenty of elite footy left, instead we picked up ‘jack of all trades master of none’ Tomlinson.
They’ve also got another speedy midfielder in Zak Jones.
Good point. To have people willing to move there is a great starting point. Something has changed for the better there. And the coach is a great appointment.Putting the $hitfight aside between Carlton and saints supporters like two homeless people fighting for a sandwich, this is a good sign for Ratts that there are players nominating the saints as their preferred club
Ryder hasn't shown he can play as a reliable resting forward.This is the one thing that baffles me Rod. I actually like who they are chasing, the targets make sense. But take away Bruce, you're left with Membrey? Or with Ryder in does Marchall Ryder swap fwd? Not the answer. Reckon letting him go isn't geat.
if he doesn't want to go there this year why would he a year later, rejection's a hard thing to deal with but I thought you guys would be used to it now.Ryder hasn't shown he can play as a reliable resting forward.
Would be piss funny if they decide to play Howard forward because they don't have anyone else.
When he wants out in 12 months he can join us for a late fourth rounder.
WTF does this mean? You’ve got no brains mate.O understand you’re anger but surely Essendon or Melbourne is the new Richmond ??? Just saying .

so you should but you took it personal i was asking opinions more thinking it wasn't really the right time for doing what they are. others may think otherwise.
Cripps was kept to 11 disposals with no impact vs Essendon player I don’t know in 2019 he must be s**tyeah.... im sorry did you achieve something? still have one flag and over 20 spoons
Hill was kept to nearly 0 impact by Lachie Obrien last year.
Jones is a b grader contested player but the Ryder is fair. Marshall is gonna be a jet

Ryder is a stop gap as we will trade Bruce to the dogs. Next year we will be going hard for B.King who at the moment is looking more like going than staying.i like the strategy but i'm not sure about some of the players. Clean House, improve the list across the board not just one big fish.
Think Howard and Hill are what is needed, not sure Ryder is the answer as you'll be looking to replace him next year. Jones i'm lukewarm on.
Sorry mate just saying the Dees and Dons propensity to let their supporters down by (for e.g.) loosing the unlosable' or having some really good talent ( i.e. good list) and then not taking advantage. I feel ( and its only joining dots ) that Essendon are in turmoil , much the same as Richmond was for varying period , all due to the club not being the happiest place. I really liked the Dees late season charge in 2018, ominous and exciting , bit then they did the old Richmond thing !! I think now the Tigers have matured (??) a stack and the old eating our own and overacting is a thing of the past. Thank the Lord !! ( or thank Benny Gale !!).WTF does this mean? You’ve got no brains mate.
How can we be the new Richmond? We’ve been the benchmark low achiever from 1965 to 2019! The question should be; who is the new Melbourne?
agree! reckon they're on the right track. having gubby allan is a plus. knows where the bodies are buried. buried many of them.Kinda like what the Saints are doing. Didn’t have any draft currency but they’ll start 2020 infinitely better than they did this year.
Can they build to a flag? I dunno but right now you’d be happy as a Saints fan.
B.King who at the moment is looking more like going than staying.
Having had a contract on offer from GC for the last 4 months and not signing it. I don't really need to explain the other reasons do i?Based on what?
Mate, I was agreeing with you!

No offence intended.
This business with Brad Hill is curious. I wonder if Freo will have disgruntled bloke playing out his contract for a couple of years?
Ignorant comment. Jack doesn’t not want to be at St.kilda, itd just be easier for him to move to Geelong to see family etc He loves the Saints.Please. An overweight Jack Steven that doesn't wanna be there isn't going to be the difference between you making the finals next year or not.
Hahahahahah all Carlton members would sacrifice their first child for a position in the top 8 in their lifetime
