Just saw that Matt Parker has been pushed out of the Saints. A dangerous forward with freakish talent, who is on the inconsistent side. Still young. Is he worth a punt??? It’d be a cheap pickup and we are still in need of a small forward and a Hannan replacement 

last year’s highlights package:-

    Has something happened here? Thought he looked good in his first year but then totally dropped off the map this year.

    Having watched his highlights, one thing I like about him is the aggression he shows. He genuinely loves tackling blokes and knows how to get the shoulder low and drive the tackle. He should be on our radar. He and Kozzy would be a deadly little combo

    Just another 10 disposal player who won't make a shred of distance to our team.  You don't see him for three quarters then he'll have a purple patch for 10 minutes.

    He's not what I'd call a quality role player who'll improve you.

    Surprised by this. Not a definite yes but not a definite no either. He can play. It’s about the scope for improvement.

    What about a certain maybe, or a probable possibility.

    Could he be the small, quick forward?

    Has a bit of height and aerial ability that makes him more like Hannan and separates him from the small smalls we've got.

    Wouldn't be rushing to sign him but he's not the worst.

    The Saints are loading up with midfielders and probably trying to get Billings and Gresham through the forward line more. Maybe with Jack Higgins too. With or without Lonie. That puts a squeeze on their list spots.

    Another I'd consider is Billy Gowers from the Dogs.

    Kicked 26 goals in 2018 in a team that struggled.

    Not saying he's a game changer, but we should look at these delisted free agents for depth in areas we lack it.

    Have you seen him play recently? Could be the worst footballer in the AFL. Genuine space cadet.

    absolutely not, the ferret is not the answer

    I wouldn't go near him. there is a reason a team desperately trying to recruit players with speed and X-Factor has delisted a player with both of those things

    He did look good a year back. Well worth a look, but obviously that includes due diligence on why he got the [censored] from St Kilda in the first place.

    Are the Saints desperately looking for speed and X factor?

    They bought in Hill and Butler last year to go with Billings, Gresham and co but this year they’ve recruited Brad Crouch to thicken the soup. They might be stuck with Lonie and Kent. Clearly they have interest in Higgins but speed is just a part of his game to go with class 

    They might’ve decided Butler, Kent and Lonie/Higgins is enough. Can we say the same about Pickett, Spargo and Bedford or are we better off to keep searching?

    You would think Richardson has some idea here.... then again.

    I agree. I think there are some issues here as to why the Saints decides to delist. It’s a no no call

    He would be behind Brown, Weid, Jackson and Fritsch.  I'd even have Petty there ahead of him.

    He isn't changing anything at the club for us.  Pass.

    Reckon if we wait 12 months a couple of reasonable HF smaller types may be delisted by Ssints in 2031 end of season.

    thinking Billing's Lonie a chance oh and Kent !!! Please NO.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
