with lynch coming in where does he get a game from forwards of lynch-jack-caddy 3 big bodies and then the smalls danx2-george-higgo-titch would very hard for him to get a game and was seen this year
And Moore might be ahead of him now as well.


I know who i would rather trade out of Townsend and Moore.

Yes - the player with the higher ceiling - which would be Moore.... :shh

Towner's manager Scott Lucas saying Towner did not meet with the Saints and that it is not really the case that he is on the move. We are still working through things.

Out-of-contract Jacob Townsend wants to stay but is considering his options after being dropped three times this season.

Being satirical. Towner on one leg is tougher than what some of those blokes dished up vs Pies!

Honestly I'm surprised anyone would pay anything for Conca after that performance...mind you he wasn't that bad throughout the year, just clearly shouldn't have been playing, same as Lambert, Dusty etc.

Still think Towno could be utilised in a tagging role and be used inside 50 when required. That would release Graham so that he can accumulate more disposals and impact more offensively.

With TL coming in, the question is can we have a medium forward like Towner or Moore in there with Jack and the smalls (ideally Rioli, Castagna, Butler, Bolton rotating through - Higgins I think should go into the midfield).

Why are people saying graham needs to be released from tagging duties? From memory hes had a tagging role very minimally, i can remember him slaughtering sloane in the grand final and being beaten by cripps in round 1. He may have done it a couple of more times than that but realistically at this stage of this career he is an elite defensive tackling/pressure player and is still developing his midfield game.

Why we would even consider letting this guy go is beyond me.
Just not one of Dimma’s favourites most likely.

Sometimes the stars just align and a bloke heavily contributes for a short period of time and then it's over. This won't break the club BIIIIIIG Tone

Sounds a little like another player we once knew, only difference Bellis didn’t really contribute.

Yeah played a big part last year,but in 2018 his goals and marking dryed up big time.Can't have him in the team just for tackling and pressure only the other major component went missing this year goals.1 year deal if anything.
