Port knew this. Their supporters knew it as well.

We all knew it a few games into the season as well. Took Ross til the 2nd half of round 21 to realise it

 

[sauce_head]

Could see some good interest in the Membrane but where would Seb go ?.

North for some leadership possibly but couldn’t see him getting a run in that midfield.

Insane re the Membrane. Insane in the brain!

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Membrey is such a conflicting one. Great player for the club, just loved seeing him with the two foot jump and accurate set shot over the years.

But - like many others, it's been frustrating to see him not adapt to the slingshot game style we've been working on. While it improved, even the last couple of games of the season there were those periods where it just killed momentum.

He will do much better (for him, and the fans I think) in a different system and I hope he gets somewhere he'd like to go. I reckon the Tiges wouldn't be a bad shout.

Membrey has been a ball stopper in the past, but I thought he moved the ball on pretty quickly on most occasions this season.

If we were to bring in a ruckman to free up Ro to play fwd more often then one of King Hammer and Sharman become pretty much a Sandy fwd.
I can’t see any of them liking that.

Who cares?

Regardless, what are the chances of brought in ruck/forward, Ro, King, Hammer and Sharman all being fit at the same time?

Also, Sharman and Hammer aren't locked in best 22 players either. Need to be more consistent.

I agree mate.
He has improved his speed on decision making.
I think everytime he stops and props now looking for a good option, we all remember the past few years and instantly think not again!
His low bullet pass into 50 to someone in the Geelong game was something I haven't seen him do before...it was sexual
It reminded me of Goddard.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Membrey has been a ball stopper in the past, but I thought he moved the ball on pretty quickly on most occasions this season.

I often wondered if that was a coaching instruction? Its hard to tell watching it on TV, but I always thought he would wait until our forwards got into position. Because of our midfield weakness Lyon often pushes the forward flanks up around the ball leaving 1 or 2 spare opposition defenders. The role Members plays he is often having to wait until we cover the lose defenders.

Then when Max Kings leads he very rarely gets separation and 50% of the time his opponent/s wins the ball. I think Members has been told to wait until Max gets help.

The problem being is that Max is cooked after 1 lead, which Membrey too often has to ignore and then Members just kicks to a pack where King is easily shifted off the ball. Hence I dont think it is a Membrey issue more a team shifting the deck chairs.

See you Josh.
Hope Sam Mitchell’s arse tastes nice. Off ya trot.


Jokes aside, great servant for our club and will be missed but if you're not with us you’re against us.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Honestly pretty sad to see Josh leave us.

One of the few guys we've developed from a talented prospect into a genuine gun player.

 

[MordySaint]

Very sad, Josh has been one of my favourites for a long time.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Make him regret it St Kilda.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Gotta keep Dougal now.

 

[EddieMurphy]

How much extra $$$ for Josh?

[Saintbloke]

Going to the Hawks gives Josh more of a chance to play in finals in his prime, which every player wants. Gave us great service, so good luck to him.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

How much extra $$$ for Josh?

The club has helped him get a better offer from Hawthorn I only can assume hence he pulled the trigger today, when the better offer came through.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

Very sad, Josh has been one of my favourites for a long time.

Bugger... Josh has been one of my favs. too.

Does this bring LDU for a FRDP into the equation now whilst still going to the draft as well, I wonder.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Does this bring LDU for a FRDP into the equation now whilst still going to the draft as well, I wonder.

It means we go to the draft with another pick/s. LDU is a FA next year thats when we will pounce if it is to happen.

 

[D2D3]

Lots of comments on FB from Essendon people.

Essendon? Pick 8 or no deal and we give him 5 years

 

[beside the seaside]

Does this bring LDU for a FRDP into the equation now whilst still going to the draft as well, I wonder.

LDU is a free agent next year, if we get him surely we wait until next year?

 

[Pardon me]

Josh doesnt strike me as being an extrovert, be interesting over the journey to watch the dynamic he has with the Ginnivan-types he now shares a locker room with.
I really wanted Battle to stay, but onwards and upwards.

 

[Sully111]

LDU is a free agent next year, if we get him surely we wait until next year?

What makes you think he'd choose us over other clubs that will be after him next year?
