I think we should get Trump to coach the Saints. That slippery bastard would coach us to multiple premierships even though he doesn't know a thing about AFL. He would be the self proclaimed greatest coach of all time! He could even coach them from jail. :lol: :lol: :lol: We definitely need to think...

At the moment Ronnie isn't in the seniors, so he's doubling up on his umpire bashing

I don’t think players get to AFL if they take short steps or consistently shirk contests In fact I take umbrage at the thought any elite footballer is soft. There are degrees of hardness, that’s positional. But no one who’s got to the elite level is soft. Only people who haven’t played the game at ...

A few posts on FB really panning Billings I used to get upset when Saint supporters would say Billings was ‘soft’ when playing for the Saints, plus that he never lived up to his draft # selection. I did occasionally see Billings have ‘short steps’ when a contest was on. Id argue he was an outside p...

Seating on the plane no longer in groups; goes: defender gets a window, mid gets a middle seat (naturally), defenders get an aisle. Get to know each other. Windy gets to sit with the pilot. Coaches get the door seats over the windows. We let umps have business class and choose the movie. Jimmy W do...

Darcy Wilson is the new Darrel Baldock... There are a couple of similarities. First, he has great skill on both sides - not only in kicking but in handball. That was something back in the 50s and 60s displayed by triple Brownlow Medallists. After watching the replay of yesterday's game, I gave him ...

Sorry Loris but it's Martial Arts. In any event the young guy has anger management issues and is a would be thug. Thanks saynta. At least I got the pronunciation right eh? I think he showed his frustrations, when he couldn’t control his game output. Lot to learn, only young, still has pimples on hi...

"Marshall Arts" is a new one, Loris. Is Rowan the instructor? My all-time-favourite from this side remains "a hare's breath away" though. Is it called marshall arts - all that Kung Fooey type stuff - or have I invented the name? I’m only familiar with tai chi - a little more ref...

If the club wishes to play Sinclair in the midfield I think Clark is the best current option to replace him at 1/2 back. Bonner lacks grunt and can be dodgy by foot, Clark has poise and wins his own footy. Clark will never have the running capability of a top line mid but can certainly rotate throu...

One of the last stoppages on the boundary . Less than 30 seconds left on the clock until the final siren Reid and Windhager. Push and shove. Reid hits Windy with a karate chop to the throat. It's not easy to see because the camera is panning from a distance. No close up. No commentators saw it or m...

Sorry forgive me!!

Seemed to be troubled by it for about 3 minutes. I’m calling it a stinger and saying he’ll be fine for next week, but I’ve got no idea. Isn’t a stinger when it’s a shoulder? This was his elbow that was injured. Can’t recall the actual stage it was hurt in the third quarter. But he was definitely ha...

Yes and they are being managed well with time on the field. Even with limited time on field they really added value.

The Saint’s runner doesn’t deliver messages to Captain Jack Steele or I didn’t notice it against the Eagles match. After goals are scored and the few times I noticed that the runner is allowed on the field. He mostly gave Seb Ross & Wilkie messages. They then seemed to either disseminate the mes...

Wilkie was really inconvenienced with his elbow (?) injury. He was injured in the third quarter. He was in considerable pain with it. Ran around with his arm hanging limply by his side for the rest of the quarter. Though it didn’t stop him going for marks. It was taped up at three quarter time. Alth...

Windhager was mainly playing extra man (7 backs) across back half during first half. He only picked up an actual player when either Bonner or Nasiah left their player to advance the ball through the centre or were having a rest on the pine. Plus he went onto Ryan briefly when Webster was off the gro...

Watch Clark in close….its the deft little touches (no stars for those) that get the ball going our way Several times bottom pack he’s got a hand on the footy dragging it our way He’s a crafty player If he gets his mate LDU to come ….hes even better … Yes Teffers that hand on the ball at the bottom ...

Yeah but how did waterman and Kelly go during those two games?

Well we also missed Darrell Baldock today. What sort of a comment is that?

Has young Stocker been properly fit since Dangerfield kneed him during the R1 game. Looked nasty at the time and he was playing well before that, I thought. I noticed last match he played, he was getting some massage/physio work done on his lower back region on the ground, then he was taped up acro...
