No mid FAs want to come

We can draft mids but they are going to take time ... a lot of time to develop and match it with more mature mid set ups

Quite a depressing situation we are in

... these next few drafts are crucial

You're assuming it's ALL personnel

They do as they're told Restrict, harrass, bump, push, and block Pity all those things involve focus on your opponent rather than focusing on the pill Today we didn't back our mids to take them on. We started well and our intensity was quite good, but Port had 31 inside 50's in the first half. We ha...

Dow 7 disposals Wilson 7 Owens 9 Windhager 10 Clark 14 Not good enough For all his knockers even King had it 10 times How many times did Dow go in for a center bounce? What the hell is happening here given his contested/clearance work is supposed to be a strength? Looks like we're tanking to me. We...

CURLY has 3 topics he discusses

1. Umpires are cheats

2. AFL are cheats

3. Ryan Byrnes

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

The op is about channel 7 commentators. Not about the players I understand where you're coming from, and we can talk about overall player profile and strengths and weaknesses...but I wasn't doing that was I? You obviously didn't listen to the call by Darcy. I was simply commenting on his incorrect c...

We had our chances … king must be dropped, keep Sharman in I’d rather not see Campbell again for awhile. Apart from a poorly umpired game both ways we aren’t far from being a finals side Good effort Saints I think the strategy to bring in Campbell was one of the reasons we had Marshall kicking 3 go...

Just watched the most insipid games of football by an individual of the modern era. Max King. Any danger of some commitment to a contest. Or keeping your feet. Or not giving away selfish free kicks. Or running to defend or attack. I'd hope he never plays a game for us again. Wouldn't take him at my...

The biggest problem for this team and our players is that some of them think they lost due to the umpires

Does Higgins do crosswords?

Is there any way they can improve his intelligence

Does he take fish oil supplements?

Are we really kidding ourselves that Jack Steele is any kind of Captain. He’s got one job - stop JHF. Port are cooked without him. And he can’t even do that. This is where you need to just have a rethink about the game of footy Would you have ever made Clint Jones captain? Should Ryan Crowley from ...

Dow and Clark gone missing since early Lyon complains about centre bounce clearances Do something Rossco. Be accountable If you have guys in there at centre bounce attendances more worried about their opponents, them mix it up. Stop being defensive How many centre bounces do you think Dow and Clark...

King has gone backwards under Ross Lyon

It doesn't matter how many talented kids we bring into this team.

At least Phillipou is now getting a bit of propper development away from the messiah

Get the fucker off the ground, his first, second and if he even bothers with a third effort are all putrid.

I've learnt something today

The word fucker isn't picked up by the swear filter

Owens does the ground ball grunt work to get it to Hill

You’ve done some 1 on 1 contest work …and some marking against him have you?

What nonsense. Miers is a significantly better player than Higgins. Whether Miers or Higgins is a better player is not the point. Darcy looked up 2 stats on one layer and gave us figures for that player…AND then he backed up those figures with a comment which was factually incorrect. Darcy didn’t b...

Luke Darcy specifically mentioned goals and goal assists for Gryan Miers from 2022 up to now From round 1 2022 up to now Higgins has better figures. He absolutely destroys Miers for the 2022 year (Geelong's premiership winning year) and also leaves him in his wake for the current season. Miers durin...

Yesterday on Friday night footy, BT said with 4 minutes to go on the clock, that Melbourne were looking like they were going to hang on and win against Brisbane. The margin at this point was only 7 points. Less than 30 seconds later, Brisbane through Kai Lohmann kicked a goal and the margin was 1 po...

You're job isn't that hard How about doing some research before you shoot off your traps with rubbish opinions... Luke Darcy loves to copy what other people say. Garry Lyon on Foxfooty and a few other mouthpieces have rabbited on about Gryan Miers with his goals and especially his goal assists. Luke...

When St Kilda player Paddy Ryder went to the tribunal to challenge a rough conduct charge, he wasn't believed when he said he wasn't trying to cause any injury to his opponent. He basically stopped and stood still. He didn't create the force that caused Will Day to get whiplash. He didn't do anythin...

What really annoys me is that they ask someone what his 'intent' was and they somehow believe he tried to exercise care.

Why ignore the visual evidence that Walsh hit his head? Are they claiming that Walsh acted?

Should Sam Walsh be fined for staging?

RoMa's kicked a massive total of....2 goals for this year. One against Richmond. One against North Melbourne. I think he's such an inspiration to his team mates, and especially when he's a goal scorer... problem is...we don't have 3 Rowan Marshalls. He can't be a chop out in defence, our number 1 ru...

Finey reckons Sean Darcy will be at Geelong next year They obviously need another ruckman with Stanley soon retiring. I reckon they played Sam De Konig because that’s the sort of mobile ruck they’d like to go with … So here’s the possible trade scenario Saints get Tyson Stengle and Sean Darcy. Geelo...

The Dan Butler tackle last year was worse, and he got off on appeal… 🤷‍♂️ How was it ‘worse’? Butler tried to roll Blakey so that he didn’t faceplant. More forceful, bigger impact. Dangerfield tried to hold him up , you can see it. Neither was worth a suspension. Butler’s wasn’t more forceful. Get ...
