Re: Match Thread Saints v Pies Round 5 2023
Collingwood are a 4 goal better side than Saints at the moment. Poor shooting for goal kept the Saints in it. They have a more practised system, more dangerous going forward, and smarter around the ball. It is only 5 weeks in, Saints are still bedding down their system, so there is a fair chance we...

Re: Tribunal is a joke

Re: I like the team without Jones in it.
As far as I’m concerned, Jones and Billings are done. Put a line through them. Have completely run out of patience with 5 years of ‘they’ll come good when they have a decent run with injury’. They’ll both return to Sandy after the bye. Give me 7 weeks of playing every week, peak fitness, with those...

Re: The quandary
It's a really interesting question, is Caminiti a better tall key forward than Max King?? Based on the 4 game sample so far you would have to answer in the affirmative, he appears to have a lot more confidence than Max, takes strong grabs and has a reliable action kicking for goal. When King become...

Re: Malthouse urges AFL to change rules
I totally agree with Malthouse. The way the AFL myriad of rules is going, we will have a bunch of boring robotrons running around like a computer game. I'd hate to be an umpire trying to interpret the rules.

Re: Hunter Clark
Interested in the criticism of Hunter's on field time. Simplistic view: If there are 4 true mids/followers but only three can be on the field at once for balance doesn't that mean standard average game time would be 75% ( displaying my inability at complex math?). So 66% as stated means Hunter is g...

Re: What was on the audio?
I wouldn’t consider “I can’t take this group anywhere” to be innocuous. The implication is that we are years away and he’s not renowned for patience. It adds credence to the other post on potential deep cuts to the list. It wouldn’t engender a high degree of enthusiasm amongst the playing group and...

Re: Roughead
Suggest you avail yourself of your "membership rights" and get in touch with the club for a full description of Roughie's duties, objectives etc, etc for the interest of the forum.
I'm not fussed, myself.
Look forward to the results.

Re: Final ‘hurdle’ removed in Saints’ pursuit of Lyon
Apparently Corey Enright actually quit Geelong because he disagreed with the change in gameplan, the change that won them the Premiership. Not saying he can't coach, but if true, he got that one wrong. I doubt that as the Cats actually became more attacking after we knocked them off. That mid-seaso...

True, some played in premierships with other teams, McEvoy & Steven were very good players, others OK Another way of looking at it, Peake recruited/drafted 47 players, only 11 of whom played over 50 AFL games. Elshaugh brought in 60, 27 of whom have played over 50. Much better strike rate at le...

Re: Ross Lyon put saints back ten years by not playing youth
John Peake was Recruiting Manager during Lyon's time wasn't he? Elshaug was there, but more a coaching role, took over recruitment after Peake left. (2011?) Peake didn't have many high draft picks as Saints were up the ladder a bit, but his recruiting results were worse the Elshaugs. Well, you are ...
