Re: Match thread - Saints vs Bulldogs

Think it's time for a new direction and a new game plan. This one doesn't work.

Re: Match thread - Saints vs Bulldogs

Wouldn't it be nice to have a forward who can actually mark the ball in the forward line.

Re: Our Paddy

I think everyone here wants Paddy to succeed and as I have doubted his talent. I do believe that right now he has issues above the shoulders regarding his career because he could virtually be only one more concussion away from being forced out. He just needs a break out game for his own confidence a...

Re: Mcstake

No Stevens and others showed form early and probably should have been played more early in their careers. My belief with Paddy isn't his ability, I believe it's above the shoulders because of the numerous concussions he's had and other injuries. If they can't fix that than all he will be is potentia...

Re: Mcstake

This is the price you pay for developing your number 1 pick power forward. He's only played what 20 games or so? He is going to have some ordinary games like today. To step up to the pace of AFL where there is no space is really hard for big forwards who rely on timing and takes a lot of games to g...

Re: Perspective.

Perspective, Longer is not our first ruckman, okay at the hit outs, not so good around the ground. Hickey is the opposite, good around the ground, not so good at the hit outs. Holmes, really good at the centre bounces, ordinary at best everywhere else. To make matters worse, using Gilbert or Bruce a...

Re: Saints v Swans match thread

There's something not right with McCartin, his heart isn't in it, maybe to many knocks and he just isn't willing to commit like he did last year. If he doesn't produce something by the end of the season, he could be traded or just delisted.

Re: Revenge - for those of us 40 and over

As good as last week's win was, winning today means so much more to me. Carlton are a real club where the GWS is just a made up one by the AFL for tv rights.

Re: What's an acceptable result tonight?

GWS is one of the main reasons I have lost passion for the game. Given everything to win a premiership and barely average 5 thousand people at home games.
Love my team, despise the AFL.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Hawks Round 6 2017

We dominate all the stats but the scoreboard, turnovers are robbing us so bad and they're inexcusable turnovers missing targets that are well in the clear.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Hawks Round 6 2017

Once again, ineffective in the forward line and not scoring enough. It's all good and well told the ball in our forward line, but it needs to result in goals, not stoppages.

Re: Roll on next Friday night! Bring on those Giants!

They're actually the Frankenstein team, given way to many concessions for too long and still struggle to attract 5 thousand people to a game. I can't watch them because there is no atmosphere at any of their games.

Re: Bruce - Ruck option Game over

Do you remember when we played Pierce last year for that one game. It actually worked and I was surprised the kid got dropped the following week because I thought he did enough to warrant another game. Also, I think Bruce had his best game for the year where he was able to just stay at home and not ...
