He definitely looks slow when i watch him at training, time will tell where his best position is.

As long as it's not at another club. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Not too slow, but that his disposal wasn’t up to it.

Re: What’s going on with Owens?

Probably my most disappointing player this year only behind King. After Rd 2 I was as excited as anyone as to what this kid could produce this year. People keep saying, play him in the midfield. As if he’ll magically start getting 25 possessions a week. I actually reckon he’s more of a backman than...

I sadly think the latter which is why I’m all in on a top 5 draft pick this year and possible trades to bolster that so we can fix this midfield issue once and for all Failure for us this year is a run on wins….honourable 9/10th finish and out of the elite kids in the draft MUST take our medicine t...

Re: Zac Butters

Put THE GLOVE on him this week.

Once he’s been worn like one, he will no doubt lash out at Windy and cop a ban that’s been a long time in the making, Then again, special players get special treatment by the judiciary

Re: Something changed

Wonder if Schenmaker could play at CHF? Word is he's a bit loose as a defender, but he's about the same height as Riewoldt, he can mark and can kick. Who knows. I wouldn’t rule it out at this stage of his career. Way too early to pigeonhole him as solely a defender who gets lots of kicks off half b...

Did good. Neale is multiple B'low winner, never fumbles, finals experience, strong as, low cog so keeps feet.

Re: Schoenmaker

Kid’s a star in the making and one of many pluses in a development year. It will be interesting to see how he develops and how the club makes the most of his talents, including the booming left-foot kick. For instance, is he destined for the wing, where he can launch attack after attack? I’d prefer ...

Re: Something changed

Our game plan against Brisbane, especially after quarter time just seemed different. Was there a difference, and if so how do the Saintsational experts explain this difference? We had Campbell in the Ruck, and we won a lot of clearances, certainly a lot more that usual, but I'm not so sure that was...

He will need it.
Hipwood and Daniher will be a handful. Webster and Howard out he will need to take one. Battle to be the floater.

Can't be used as a sub. He is not versatile enough.
Cordy will get one of them maybe

Let's not forget Owens, who is not given much of a go in the middle We saw glimpses of it on Saturday, which was encouraging. Couple of times where he burst clear from the middle and went long and direct with the kick. I’d like to see it more often, but am not holding my breath. He’s a very powerfu...

They are yet to get close to winning away Except against us Talent is only one measure Lance Collard has lots of talent I’ve seen glimpses of it the couple of cameos he’s played. It can’t be easy for a young kid away from home for the first time. Let’s hope he can fulfill his ability with the Saints
