This time last year we had St Kilda odds to win the flag (~$21). what a 12 months it’s been

I certainly not peeved with our resignings. Chandler is super quick and has good skills, plenty of upside and why would Bobby be on a similar contract to a virtually untried kid?

Cannot believe Mitchell has been calling coaches trying to offload his leaders and best players! I get the feeling he will go down swinging. Culture killer moves last minute deals for O’Meara likely I’d say. Clubs will wait until the hawks are more desperate

I don’t doubt Scott is a very good coach. To finish top 4 with that list is no easy feat. He is very stubborn however and if he doesn’t change things up they could go down hill quickly. Selwood and Danger’s beaten up bodies will have to drop off very soon. And the Hawk can’t go on forever. Higgins and Dahlhaus etc are now starting to look like busts and they have very little youth coming through. if it wasn’t for Stewart at the back I’d say they wouldn’t make finals next year

Is a 10 year deal too long?!?

Carlton have finally recruited an actual quality midfielder. they may finally move out of the bottom 6 next year

my argument is that players that have been suspended many times for doing much worse then Greene have not had their reputation tarnished, in fact sometimes they are admired for it. admittedly in the old days rough stuff was more common

The way we smashed our way through finals, I feel there are few players carrying major injuries. Given the short break this should put us in a great position to rest the players and get them ready for round 1. I would be cautious with the kids and the oldies. Rivers/Kozzi/Jackson, give them a big rest. then May, Gawn etc. but the majority of the list are in the sweet spot of big hardened bodies but still young

Articles in the media about Greene's reputation being tainted by suspensions. what a joke, he is a gun footballer. Matthews and Dermie are in the media and regarded as legends despite being thugs on the field

I wonder if we'll ever just keep our future first round pick instead of trading it away to get into the current first round? lol

Unlucky not to play more AFL footy really. You can't beat the Peado

Meanwhile at Bailey Smith’s Instagram page....

Nev going where he can make a big impact on footy and on Australian culture in general really he will be welcomed back in a few years no doubt

Watching Trac mature over the past 2 years has been nothing short of astonishing. I feel like he knows how us fans feel and wants to be our hero, our legend. 100% invested and emotionally connected now. Could go down as one of our greats of all time.

wow that is fairly damning on the Saints culture. Players fall out of favour which is fine but the Saints have not been good in recent times are respecting their players, especially outgoing players

I really hope the bombers don't get their hands on King

the Saints have plenty of mids with average disposal. they need some class

I wouldn't have guess the Dunstan one! Saints fans regularly lament his disposal but he does add grunt. who would have thought the we would lack inside mid depth?! Sparrow, Harmes, Gus, Jordon are there but I agree an extra experienced big bodied inside mid would be handy as injuries are inevitable

Maybe Pies fans can buy it and pretend they won the flag?? wow I’m getting arrogant pretty quickly 😂

I'll wait until it comes out on VHS

Was there any confirmation from the club about training loads or other reasons for our drop off in form after the bye? just curious. We looked unbeatable the rest of the time

Hilarious that the best bloke picked by Carlton in this period is the one they traded away 😂

Cmon mate, it’s time to delete all those Real Housewives and Judge Judy episode 😂

Thanks for not mentioning I picked West Coast for the flag! 😬😂

Look at us Melbourne supporters, just won the flag, millions of $$ of merch flying off the shelves and the sale of the bentleigh club and we are talking about big home crowds to rustle up some money. once we can attend games, the crowds will be huge, memberships will go through the roof. If we don’t get the home ground one year it will be the next. im personally going to just enjoy the ride and not worry about our finances for once
