He guards space, has soft hands, lopes and won’t commit his body to the contest. Luckily he’s surrounded by quality players.

Re: Autopsy Thread: Saints v Freo
The game started with lots of fierce contests and there were very good signs early We came to play and congratulations to the coaching staff on the preparation Ratts gave them a huge spray at quarter time and we dominated that second quarter with 16 inside 50’s. Apart from our messy entries and som...

THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAD HILL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF STOPPING HIM This is a two-fold section, highlighting not only what Hill is able to bring to the table, but also what the Saints lose when the forwards work hard to deny him the clean run from half-back. At halftime of this contest, Hill had only ei...

Re: Are we closer to…
The root cause of the problem seems simple to me: Nettlefold, Watters and Pelchen traded away what remained of our best talent after Lyon left, and recruited rubbish in return. We have never fully recovered from that. Picking McCartin over Petracca also didn't help the situation. In recent years, t...

Re: Match Review
The obvious is apart from Marshall and glimpses from Gresham our midfield was smashed. We were absolutely slaughtered at ground level with Collingwoods winning first use with quick hands. Collingwoods have found a player in Lipinsksi - WTF can't we pick up players like that? We couldnt match their ...

Re: Match Review
6 months to come up with a winning game plan and all we get is the same as last year. Definition of insanity is what? Slow ball movement, no run past, no play on, no up field structures, no corridor, long down the line, no stoppage strategy and outcome is mostly kick and hope long bombs into a crow...

Better in that space????
“Gotta get better in that space!” What the hell does that mean, Ratten?
Meaningless, uninspiring drivel.
What actions will you and the players undertake to improve?
We’re a team of individuals, some ludicrously overpaid!
Gresham’s response to Dorothy Dix questions wasn’t inspiring either.

Re: Why don’t we take the game on..?
Out coached today. The team lacks a few hard, uncompromising, inspiring players. Today’s effort was abysmal. Too many overpaid plodders unwilling to play attacking football and to defend ruthlessly when necessary. Apart from Hayes there was a general reluctance to hit the ball hard and create avenue...

Putrid.
Lazy unaccountable football. Too many overpaid front runners. Yet again, Ratten’s love-in hasn’t worked. We are looking at a whole lot of misery if that effort is accepted by the coaching staff. Go Carine Cats under 10s. My grandson’s team play with more passion and for each other this team of over-...

Re: Prepare for meltdown!!!!
I don’t know that it’s a Sharman vs Kent discussion. Kent is a forward, crumber, play maker type that hasn’t cemented a spot in 4 years. He is 28yo, kicked what... 5 goals last year and has played a little under 100 games. He’s not some 23yo kid that was promising, stagnated and finally getting a g...

Re: Prepare for meltdown!!!!
Kent+Ross geezus... They're named in our side but if there was any honesty in Champion Data, their disposals would be counted in thr Filth's column. They'll be good for at least a dozen turnovers, just quietly. I predict Kent will get under 15 disposals, most will go to the Filth or nowhere near a ...

Re: 9th of March
I like his highlights package ....he is big and keen and seems pretty coordinated. Can see him adding some much needed height to our backline, and at 27 he is in his prime re maturity and experience. Good signing for mine. Nothing to lose really. From the forums, many PA fans thought he was highly ...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 19 2021
Their ability to score so easily and our innate ability to pick out opposition backmen, for the first three quarters was the difference.Trev from the Bush wrote: ↑Sat 24 Jul 2021 8:13pm Eight points. The difference in the end was their ability to score from centre clearances.
