Owens should have just had the shot

I’ll pay a comment that that should have been 50 for Marshall

Just FYI,

There’s a few expressions of displeasure about various posting habits on this thread obviously RE the umpiring and other things. I’ve reached out to everyone and will keep an eye on this more closely in the second half.

Carry on

For anyone watching the game… I see Josh Sinn, the player many wanted before NWM has 6 touches. Obviously no one has any buyers remorse on that one but any observations on this kid?

Really not winning enough ball

NWM and Wood one touch each
Steele at 3
Dow, King, Owens and Ari on donuts

Decent IMO. I think I like it

The thing I like about Byrnes is he has a dip I could go out there at 40 and guarantee you an effort that would shame many of the youngsters at AFL level. 100% 100% of the time going full ball. Of course I’d be 50-60m behind every contest, if the ball somehow fell into my lap I’d be lucky to kick i...

Apparently the Sun are reporting that they’ve essentially spoken to him and he’s reported that he’s very happy at the club and shut down talks ofmoving.

They’re also reporting that we’re interested in both LDU and Brayshaw. Now that would be a coup

Dow, Webster, Campbell and Wilson would be my choice
Coops as sub has he has the versatility

Would be an absolute $hit!$#0W if Byrnes comes in with his recent form both in the seniors and at Sandy
Jones and Ross haven’t done much more either

Geeez that’s a fun question.

On the one hand Marshall pbly only has 3 years left and LDU more so it’s tempting… but you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul and I worry about the impact of trades like this on a club’s culture.

I’d pbly pass

Would be wild to lose Marshall.

Greater player, highly respected, well liked, would be amongst the best paid

Harder to think of a bigger disaster than losing him.

Club would lose a lot of face - doubt there’s much to it

I never liked this narrative - I know it’s a thing but if a club can fire up because of criticism/the sacking of a coach… then another club can resolve 2 push themselves even harder because the opposition is going to go harden than ever. To me it reeks of loser mentality and making excuses. RE Port…...

They are looking very gettable

It’s very hard to believe that the game plan or preferred style is to kick a low score and restrict the opponents to a low score (though I’m sure restricting the opposition is a part of it). Perhaps this is an example of the team better executing the game plan and being more effective up forward and...

How do you get rid of it without opening it? On the right side of the PM, you should be able to check a box (tick a box). After you mark the PM, scroll down to the bottom of the page where there is a drop box that says mark/unmark important messages (or something similar). Click on that and a 3-4 o...

Can we please move on from the political talk before the reports start coming in

So the situation is that the forum is under attack by Bots. Most of the time they’re trying to start new threads and I can nip it in the Bud by rejecting them. I block a large amount a day. However… occasionally one figures out how to PM which slips through the filter, which is annoying. Please repo...

To me… it’s not a thug mentality. Hamil wasn’t a thug. Powell wasn’t a thug. They were just players that weren’t easily pushed around and were inclined to remonstrate if out youngsters copped a cheap shot. We haven’t had one for a long time - our players get felled quite a bit and no one stands up f...

Saints win and back in business

Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience.

Happy for the kid but a big ask… tough circumstances

He was ok.

If he kicked the 2 gimme goals that he completely fluffed, he might have been a match winner but he didn’t and wasn’t

He was an effective pressure player but it always boils down to the same thing… effort counts for less than damage. He was almost damaging
