PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN

Updated: Tuesday, March 3

That just means they haven’t been pushing themselves hard enough.

We’ve been masterfully managed to maximise the physical improvement each player could make over the pre-season. 
That May,  Max And Hannan are all likely to now get up for round 1, shows just how well they’ve don it (Especially Vs last year)...

Definitely no excuses for the Saints then, if they aren't winning then they simply aren't good.

i think the Saints might be this years bolter. They have recruited well and i really rate Ratten as a coach.

They've also sped up their team even more and now have 9 out of 11 games on the quick track at Marvel to start the season, and 15 games there for the year.

They might have some good mids but their forward line is crapola! I’m tipping 12th.

Agreed, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Essendon have a better list IMHO

That’s around where I have them, maybe pushing around finals.

I think they have over recruited. Too many new additions to the squad. Could take them up to half a season or more to gel.

The saints have recruited 1 good player in Hill. 

Ryder is finished 

Howard is a poor mans Sam Frost. 

Jones is a hack 

Butler is a very average AFL player 

They also lost their best forward in Bruce.

Couldn't agree more, dd36.  I emailed the AFL about my dissatisfaction with their shoddy product and unsurprisingly they haven't even had the decency to reply.

However, if every poster on this site were to do the same thing, maybe they might take notice.

I did the same last week.  I think its the first time I have ever sent in a complaint in my life.

Thats how horrendous their new website is.

Membrey will just kick all 8 goals against us instead of sharing them with Bruce.

They also lost their best mid in Stevens, and a promising kid in Acres.....but they have added 6 players who WILL fill the gaping holes in their list.  It will work for a while.

In the end Stevens wasn't their best mid. The guy barely played. He's no loss to them. If Hannerbery gets his body right he'll be a much better player then what Steven was.

Some on here are underrating their pick ups. The likes of Howard, Hill, Butler and Jones will make them significantly better. Add in a Max King who i think is going to be a genuine star in the mould of Tom Lynch, then they will go well this year. 

I see them really pushing around the 8th position.

Agree. I wouldn't write off Ryder either. He was carrying bad injuries for most of his time at Port. He is apparently fit now. Agree Hannebury sounds like he's got his body right and same for Carlisle who has had injury worries for a few seasons. 

Their pace cut us to pieces last year and they've gone up another notch in speed with Hill and Jones. We haven't.

They looked formidable in that first Marsh game. Very well structured around contests and clearing the ball to outside runners. Something I've been hoping to see us do but haven't yet. They had clear passes i50 to clear leads. Something I've been waiting to see since Goody took over in Roos's last year. We still don't.

Hill is a match winner. Explosive pace but with elite decision making and skill to deliver the ball down people's throats. Langdon's stats pretty much matched Hills in the last period of last season but he doesn't have the same skill level. If he plays like he did in the last 5 weeks of last season he's going to be the smokey pick up of last year's trade period.

If he was any good, Sydney would not had let him go. 

Sydney tried desperately to hang on to Jones but he was determined to go home. He had tried to leave over the previous couple of seasons. 

On your theory Langdon must be a dud.

We're screaming our for run and carry, and sausage rolls. He provides that.

Last year, sure. I'm not sure about that this year.

Sydney need outside speed more than anyone. 
 

He will be a serviceable player at the Saints but he won’t be the difference between them winning and losing games.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
