We need someone if Marshall goes down. Our back ups just aren't back ups. They are part time fill ins. Owen's is a future star. Can ruck for a quarter here or there. But you don't want him thrown to the wolves. What if Rowan does a knee in Round 1. Season over for the saints? Hayes is a crystal vas...

Apologies in advance for a long post. Probably should start a new thread :| A fully fit Liam Henry and Max King must be first 22, so how do we also fit Mcrae and Soldo into the team? Especially when we need a replacement for Battle Can Shoenmaker or Caminiti do the job as well as Battle or do we hav...

There is a video of Max on the Saints website. He is looking good...and strong. So get off his effing back all you detractors. It's great to hear how excited Max sounds when he talks about slotting back into the line up. He was frustrated that he couldn't play, but happy to see the team playing an ...

Lindsay could slot into the half back flank role pretty smoothly in his first couple of years

Good replacement for Jimmy Webster and should be able to transition into the midfield as his body grows.

I like him

Just on the Brisbane defence having an easy time of it, my recall is that Sydney led by 3 goals to 2 in the early going so had momentum Then the Brisbane mids took over and momentum was the other way - including 8 goals straight on the trot Sydney led early on but it wasn't 3 goals to 2. Brisbane k...

As one who has put that St Kilda require support for Marshall , King and Howard (plus adding midfield class), the absence of Lyon saying Battle is a required player is telling So Battle, playing as a KPP at 193cms and 83kgs was part of the problem, not part of the fix We're on the same wavelength. ...

It's pretty obvious he's left because he thinks he'll have more chance of success at Hawthorn. The hard question to ask is then, what does that say about the direction of the club if someone who's been there for years and a part of the inner sanctum doesn't see success on the horizon? You haven't b...

Why ?

Obviously CURLY knows something and he's come up with a conclusion

CURLY can predict the future.

Curly is Nostradamus and Shifter Sheehan rolled into one person

Yes, I’m comparing them right now, not their histories. And it seems you agree with me , Steele has dropped off from his peak of a few years ago. I think many forget how good he was, a genuine elite mid who was a game breaker and was picked by many to win a Brownlow. Whoa!! Hold on there ...I outli...

Ridiculous that people question votes when they have no idea of the players role.

It's difficult for you to figure out Rowan's role each week is it?

I reckon ridiculous that Battle ahead of Marshall. Almost criminal. Thought NAS should’ve been too 4 as well. Tbh, I’m a little surprised that Wilk’s won it. Thought Marshall would win it from Sinclair and Wilkie 3rd, NAS 4th and maybe Josh 5th. Owens top 10 a little surprising. Although his work i...

I didn't say anything

You just cupped your hands and smelt your own

That one smelt as bad as your first post

Another brain fart

As I said Sydney’s game is based on mids well it failed miserably again as defence wins finals. Yes. I know you want to ignore Brisbane's midfield dominance. I know you want to ignore how poor many of the Swans mids and half forwards played. You're like someone who reads the last page of a book and...

He didn't do much at the Tigers when he took over. But good luck Mini (just not too much of it against the Saints). Did ok actually Won 7 lost 6 He did extremely well as caretaker coach. When he took over, Richmond had only 3 wins and they'd lost 6. Mini won the the next 5 out of 7 to put them in c...

Is Sydney chasing him? Is Melbourne or GWS or Geelong or Carlton chasing him?

Just like no club was interested in Dan Hannebery... similarly... no other club is interested in Jack Mcrae

That tells you all you need to know

Ah Chee, Lohmann and Morris kicked 10 goals between them. That's the final margin!! Add Rayner and the goals from mids and it's a telling story. 158 marks versus 88. The Lions controlled the footy. Their entries inside 50 were clean. The Lions mids were amongst the best for disposal efficiency of a...
