Anybody on this forum that says that Morton was a better pick than Palmer at number 4 has obviously got very little footy knowledge.

M.Gardiner,Cousins (maybe),Carroll (maybe).... Looks like the saints discos could be up and running again!

Just because a couple of officials have come out and said their not expecting much over the next couple of years dosent mean we're mediocre,it just means we're facing truths. Do you think the players are goiing to think " Aw,crap! The board have written us off already, whats the point in even playing?" No. The players will still be giving it their all. If anything,it may spur them on a bit.

Nice to see the afl listens.

I've been reading a lot of posts and it seems the majority of people don't really rate our list and believe we're at least 3 years from playing finals. I believe our list isn't that bad. Sure, theres a few who shouldn't be there, but I'm impressed with our youngsters. And finals? I believe we're only 2 years away. Comments ?

I couldnt of put it better.Thank you.

The same bloke thats been playing for Dick Pratt F.C ?

So your saying a crap player would look good on our rubbish list?

My problem with all this Warnock saga is why have we said we're only interested in people who want to be Melbourne and we're still chasing this goose??? He's said he wants to be a blue,he's going to cost to much and he aint that good. If we are going to bring another dud ruckman to the club we should get Seaby. After all, Warnock was playing 2nd fiddle to him at W.Perth for the best part of half a year!

Well, thank f*#$ for that! Now maybe all the clowns who are saying trade Davey and ???? for pick ?? will get over it and realise we actually live in a sane world.

Nah mate, im with you. Why would we give away a player whos starting to look the goods. Remember people, when he was drafted there were big wraps on him. He was tipped to go top 10.

You really dont like Aaron Davey do you.

Hey mate, dont believe evrything that comes out in the press.

Include the steak knives, add Sylvia and settle for pick 20-25.FFS,you've gotta be joking!!!!!!

Geez,I hope whoever we get with pick 4 is better than Green,Bell AND pick 35!

Pick 19 to Brisbane for Mitch Clarke.

Why the hell does everyone seem to think any trade we do will involve a pick and a player for a higher pick????WHY!!!And Wonaeamirri???? Yeah, lets give up a good little player for nothing. And Brad Green? Sure, if he doesnt sign,shop him around for the best pick.IMO he should be the next skipper so why trade him???

NO WAY!!!!

He's a tap ruckman whos not going to rack up possesions and kick goals. Remember,he was right under our nose playing for sandy with jamar and we stuck with jamar. Whats everyone so excited about?

Here Here! About time someone got off the kids back and realised what a gun he's going to be. How many 18 year olds his size and (lack of ) weight are running around in developing afl sides with no real leaders to show the way? Have you all forgotten his earlier games, especially against geelong, where his decision making and foot skills were awesome? It's a confidence thing. Get off his back!

Seriously, you're not trying to compare him to David Neitz are you? One difference, Neitz was a gun as a junior. Second difference, I don't remember Neitz ever having short arms or going to ground as easy as Newton does!

If our past board hadnt passed up the opportunity to take the glasshouse ( lexuscentre) we wouldnt be discussing this!

Who says this draft is going to be a ripper? Why get rid of players for the sake of it. Every other club has the same problem with the impending concessions.All it means is recruiters are going to have to work harder.

I, like every other supporter was rapt with the win, but can someone explain to me what happened? Which game plan is the one Baileys been trying to teach. The first 6 and a half games or the last 2 quarters? If the latter, isnt that very similar to Danihers plan of old?
