De Goey has done a lot of foolish things but if he watched the Saints flounder against Sydney I doubt he would be foolish enough to come on board

At least we have mastered the head high tackle

Score line is a true reflection of pretenders versus contenders, not many teams we could beat on tonight’s showing.

Having a bit of a crack but a big difference in skill level and lack of system will make a win unlikely

Our poor tackling giving away the frees most of which were there but the umps certainly missed a few that should have come our way.

Paton, Webster, Jones, Long, Butler and Higgins being dropped would likely be and improvement, alternate Heath with either Ryder or Marshall and Highmore to replace Howard for a few games. Membrey and Sharman could also share AFL duties none of this is likely to happen even though the Saints would n...

Bit optimistic to beat Sydney, expect to beat Westcoast and maybe Hawthorn but that will probably be about it giving us 10 wins same as last season.

After watching Sandy today Windhagger was the stand out and must come back, Wood didn’t do enough, Sharman’s accuracy is his only asset but he maybe better value than Higgins, Buttler or Long who offer very little. Paton is struggling and Webster although good last week gives away silly frees and we...

A lot of posters appear to be putting the failure down to Ratts but in his defence he has not been dealt a very good hand with very few natural footballers out there.

Reality check fact is we a really a bottom four side that has been playing above their weight, time for changes a lot of blokes out there tonight struggle with the basic skills and are not likely to change now. The selectors should have no trouble finding candidates for Sandy but will pogo with the ...

Lot of slow second rate players out there and all wearing the same colours, can’t continue to go with Butler and Higgins hard to pick which one to drop both maybe a good option. I could see this result coming despite most on this site expecting an easy win but again the poor skills and decision maki...

Curly will blame the umps but if you continue to head high tackle, hold and throw the ball you give away frees maybe take a look at the dills wearing our colours

Doubt we will make the eight just finding it difficult to kick goals but on the bright side we will be looking at a top ten draft pick and have already seen a lot of good signs from our young up and comers so the future looks promising

The injectors will be no walkover, a list equal to or better than ours although possibly poorly coached and not playing to their potential so we will need to bring our best game and find a way to score more easily

Tried hard but down on numbers and big difference in skill level and we have a couple of down skiers out there. With our hard run home I doubt we will play finals.

Josh Kyle has also vanished hopefully there is some arrangements for these guys to keep up their match fitness if they can’t get a gig at Sandy. Does anyone have any information on this.

Got enough ball butchers in the side with Jones, Gresham and Ross although the latter has improved we don’t need to add another one

Playing it a little safe as I believe we are required to use three draft picks at seasons end and would also probably like to add a free agent, Gears, Hanners would be expected to retire and Kent delisted then would be looking at Joyce unless either Bytel or Highmore request a trade. Could possibly ...

I believe the penalty was once 15metres but the AFL in their wisdom changed it to 50 just another blight on our game

The standard rule was 6 or 18 months but as we all know the AFL may have changed that as they appear to change most rules if only for the sake of change

Good to see Owens in, Webster, Sharman and Long need to perform or could suffer same fate as Billings, may be a wake up call to either put in the effort or stop giving away silly frees

Makes sense to replace Hayes and Coffield as it’s likely we could have more serious injuries before the season is over but we are not a Monty to do the sensible thing

We have a habit of losing to North but I think we will break the habit this time, Saints by 17 points

Should try to pick up a couple of young players as Gears and Hanners will probably retire, Kent, Allison, Joyce and Campbell maybe delisted but I believe we will probably not participate in the mid season draft.

Great last term got us over the line but should still look at a few changes, Webster should be the first to go surely Connolly or Highmore are a lot smarter than Jimmy, although a great finisher Sharman just does not do enough Higgins finds a lot more of the ball. Long appears to have become the mas...
