not keen on your ruck set up Big Mal I pesume you must have Kozi changing with M Gardner a FF, as Blake has a role on Rico Would think it a great oppoetunity to get a game into Mcevoy, even if Gards is ok He wont get a look in when both Gards and King are back , and this will leave Kozi up forward f...

agreed, and whats wrong with bringing him in addition if Gardner is OK He's not going to get a look in when Gardner and King are both back Then wouldn't need to ruck Blake,( who may get a run on Richo), and it would leave Kozi down forward for the majority of the game as well a great opportunity to ...

Is it possible that the game plan is an attacking one but impossible to implement successfully on a consistent basis? this may be the key to it and we are missing the crux of the matter by over complicating it..... maybe the skipper and coach are both telling the truth .....the game plan is an atta...

Roo, Max and Banger, and probably the less talented Baker who works his but off, all shine out like beacons for their weekly competitive spirit.....sadly they are the exceptions and not the rule.

tough call on Lennie and possibly Ball sRr !

Lions Pies North Swans Crows Dogs Hawks Cats which of these teams above us on the ladder have better team lists than us?and how many of them would we have beaten last Sat? certainly not all of them in both cases cos a champion TEAM will always beat a team of champions this weeks opponent the tigers ...

yeah but roughnut popped up with a bag
they seem to be able to function with a 2-pronged forward set up ok
but perhaps they both apply heaps of pressure an chase a bit too

good thread! there was one not far back where we surrendered a humungous 3/4 time lead of 40 or 50 points or something (maybe 60... yeah 10 goals I recon) to Hawthorn ...shee! think its some kinda record still only the sainters could hold that one ! earlier game comes to mind when i was a kid down a...

but i wouldn't play riewoldt in a defensive role on richo. put blake on richo and let riewoldt dominate the other wing. that should provide a bit of entertainment for a change, particularly when they meet up at each end in the goalsquares Big Carl! we could do with a bit of your namesakes endeavour...

good for you shadow! don't necessarily agree will all your post but defend your right to have a go here! ( we could well do with a bit of the of the old "shadow" as the big blonde was affectionately known by his teamates in the 60's, out on the field at present also) the arrogant responses...

Roo takes a couple of uncontested marks out on the wing A few minutes later he flies in our defensive g-square and doulbe teams with Max to spoil their FF Soon after he takes another mark on the wing and minutes later a screamer in our goal square to kick a goal! now was that a dream I had or was it...

yesterday i watche Richo take a few pretty much uncontested marks on the wing, next minute double teming with ther fb spoiling in the hawks g-square , then taking anothe mark on the wing before making and goaling r from their g-square all in the space of 10 miuted or so it seemed! I immediately thou...

i think our photocopier is running out of ink......

maybe we need to pull the plug
and get a more up-to-date model....
a colour one with a few more options instead of this out dated basic black ink one

3W-3L does'n call for knee jerk sack the coach reactions rationality must prevail having said that, I sense there is a deeper problem starting to surface I could well be, and hope I am, horribly wrong here, but as a died in the wool sainter for the past 60 years whose seen a fair bit, I think Ross i...

Armitage Might sound funny with only 7 touches...but he played less than 1/2 the game....and involved himself in every contest while he was there it seemed. Heard him described as our best recruit for five years and havent seen anything so far to argue against that. Will.be.a.star imho yep quite a ...

Yes turnovers to some extent but it was our lack of intensity and overall committment that lead to them getting a 5 goal zip start Ross Considering the conditions what would that have equated to at the Dome? About 7-8 goals?? Least it was in contrast to our Dogs & Cats losses And we seem to be v...

fair comment!

And NO I dont need to take a "long hard look at myself"

don't look down then or you'll see your ugly reflection in the gene pool you obviously fell out of!

His senior form too has shown a lack of match practice. thats for sure! but more importantly do you really think hes having a go? I would unfortunately think not, and that since his return we have been effectively playing one man short down back Thank heavens for Max. He's often had to try and cove...

The possatives.... We won quite a few unofficial ANZAC Medals presented to those who were listed as "missing in the feild of action" and at least they were "over there" on a cold dark night, and didn't have to suffer the indignaty of 90 thousand odd witnessing their pathetic disp...

Or is he simply a very good coach that is prepared to sacrifice his own win/loss ratio for the long term benefit of the club? i wish I still shared your optimism, buts its diminishing every week, as are our supporters and the bums on seats forced to witness him trying to achieve what your suggestin...

I know I will get shot down for this, but I love Blake. Yep he makes mistakes, but at least he is no pretender like most of our team. If only everyone tried as hard as he does, he wouldn't get a game. To be honest I am sick to death of our so called "star's" being put up on a pedestal. If...

(To those saying Matt is finished, he snapped his leg in half.. it took Nathan Brown a very long time to recover.. he will be fine!) _________________ have to watch it again but at the time i got the impression max was trying to cover his man and gooses as well dont blame him for the serve one bit ...

Anzac Medals for quite a few of our boys who went among the missing in action!
just as well they were over there on a dark night and not at the G against Collingwood in front of 90 thou!

i muted the sound after the 1st quarter It was bad enough to watch the gutless effort by two thirds of the team without putting up with Dwaynne Russell...what an absolute pain in the but They should have handed out a few more Anzac medals for those who went missing in action! Maguire needs a heart t...

hes gotta learn to fade into the game rather than out of it!
