I'm still not sure we can win this, given our failure to run out many games and Sydney's motivation to win and move into the top four if Port keep losing to the Crows.
Ironically our accurate kicking, particularly by Higgins, is keeping them at arm's length so far.

Don't sell us short tonight, I think we're just as capable as the Boomers of winning (bronze).

No I don't think Carlisle has the longevity to last untill 3022 (typo)!

Does anyone remember who rucked for us in our comeback win against West Coast in round 4? Two players nullified Nic Nat that day, an underdone Rowan Marshall and a back-injury hampered Jake Carlisle! Clearly Carlisle's days as a KPP are almost over, sue to his lack of agility, but his sherr size and...

If fit and it's a big IF, I would keep Carlisle, Hannebery, Geary and Frawley as all are still good enough to play at AFL level. Ross, Dunstan, Billings et all are all tradeable, with Billings worth a 2nd rounder, Dunstan a 3rd and Ross a 4th. Lonie, Kent, McKernan and Hunter must be delisted and Ro...

Coffield for Clark (injured). Clavarino for Howard (injured). Bytel for Byrnes (Crouch lucky to stay in, but Byrnes was worse). McKenzie for Kent. Joyce for Highmore (he wasn't right to play either, just like Clark). We need to play younger playets, including those that we need to make calls on on t...

14.1 at one stage, which speaks volumes for defensive pressure.

Game Over Saints.

No ontendity to defend the contest.

We talk of culture but then go and recruit dubious (at best) characters like Lovett, Carlisle and Hannebery? I realise every club has these types but say Stringer and Liberatore etc came into the game as 18 year olds and subsequently showed bad "habits"! The three I've mentioned were all ...

What Carlisle, Geary andMcKenzie?

We seem to like the bigger grounds these days. Might help us a bit against the Swans if we have to play them at Metricon or the Gabba in a couple of weeks time. [/quote] Why wouldn't we play Sydney at Marvel, after all it's our home game and teams should still be able to travel to Melbourne in a cou...

Cardiologist said all is ok with my heart today, which eased my anxiety somewhat, but failed to explain my symptoms, which are now easing, but I won't risk ivaccination again. Vaccine hesitancy is justified, we still have freedom of choice in this country. Having said that I really feel for airline ...

I had my first Pfizer vaccination about 5 weeks ago and had no significant ill effects until about a week ago, just as I was contemplating dose two. While I was at the Suns game on the Gold Coast I felt like I was going to collapse, with a heavy sensation around my heart and a sense of nausea and li...

Dunstan is more likely to move back to Adelaide, due to their weak midfield and cap space. He would still be on the fringe at Port as their midfield is deeper. The lure of coming home is very strong for unloved players. It is probably also strong for King, but the big difference is that he is much l...

Lonie kicked 5.1

Bytel 36 disposals.

5.1 is amazing accuracy for Lonie!

It has been a long time since Ratts was 50 (kg)!

Never post half cut!

I'm antocipating a 4 goal margin, not sire whocj way though!

Both games on Channel 7.

2020 feel about this.
Saints often on TV late in the season and we're up on the Gold Coast this weekend, so we might get to see the team live, so actually it's nothing like 2020!

Ahem, if I remember correctly Ratts moved Members to defence late in our round 1 game vs the giants once we hit the front halfway through the last quarter. He's been doing it for months, not weeks.

Must be Lonie on turnovers from F50!

I would keep Joyce as a back up defensive 3rd tall, Clavarino too, but Kent and Lonie are surplus. I would have stamped Lonie's papers 4 years ago after he opted for a set shot snap from 30m out on a 45°angle on his preferred side and barely made the goal square at the Punt Road end in the final rou...

Normally fringe or failed reserve players get delisted, but this year many aging soldiers need to be retired and some should have stayed retired by their former sides. Carlisle(29), Hannebery(30), Geary(32), Roberton(29), Frawley(32), McKernan(30) and Hunter(28). All are finished due to injury (2, 1...

Once kicked 10.7 ( out of 13.18) on ( apparently ) the full back of the century. Lockett had one free that day and eight against him. Knowing Silvagni’s scragging tactics, if that game was umpired under today’s rules Plugger would have got the frees and kicked 20+ goals that day. Best ever I saw Pl...

No I think Melbourne are like St.Kilda 2009, with a dominant defence.
Sadly for them the season will probably end the same way with another pussy parade!
