Re: Positives
Why all the negativity. We lost to a team that is a favourite to win the flag. They have much better structure than our guys and are better coached. Always seemed to have plain the correct spots both in attack and defence. Positives are more games in younger players, the hanners nightmare is over an...

Re: Who do we trade out for picks and player
I hope we have a relatively quiet trade period. Not saying we do nothing I just don’t want to go overboard again and over pay for a player ie de goey. Billing may be of some value but can’t see anyone else we would trade bring in a second round pick if that.

Re: Our spot in the 8 is ours to lose
Dare to dream but on paper no chance. Cats will towel us up big time. Not only do they have a better team they have a much better coach. Watch ratten get out classed after half time when Scott makes a few tweaks to his game plan and we don’t adjust well to it

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 19 2022
Billing’s and Gresham. Trade bait Yep Need to be bold at the table We might get a third rounder for each, if we bargain hard. No point now for billings, we would get bugger all as he is average at best now. Once again we drafted a talented kid and failed to develop him. Gresham has value but when h...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 19 2022
Sharman has good skills but limited mobility and has the turning circle of the Queen Mary Having said that, he's had quite a good game, very solid in this last quarter Much prefer him up forward. He has a larger turning circle which is a liability at the back. But he did play well today as a defender

Re: Question for Ratten lovers
The only good thing now is that it is better the devil you know. And let’s be honest it can’t get a lot worse. We also now have two years to start scouting for his replacement rather than hire someone out of desperation ie richardson.

Guys quite clearly we are tanking. If anyone else can give a better explanation for the last two months I’d like to hear it. Let’s play an up and coming forward in defence, let’s have no structure to move the ball forward, let’s chip the ball ten times to move forward 30 metres, let’s handball ten t...

Re: Are We Still In With A Chance to Play Finals Footy?
Easy first half draw where we got thru by a few players having great games. second half is a hard draw and our few glimpses of individual brilliance will not be enough. We need game plans and structure and under ratten we have neither. Another long two years ahead

Re: Ratts gets 2 year extension - email from President
Very middle of the road decision to keep ratts and I am neither happy or sad about it. Now it’s done with focus is back on the team and it’s success. Personally I don’t rate him as a strategic coach and his game plan is poor. Kick it to king. Now do that regardless of what the opposition does. Some ...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 16 2022
I will take the points but not the win. Carlton lost this game rather than us winning it. You kick 10. 18 you are not deserving of a win. Started off great but the moment blues fought back we went back to the long bombs into 50 and only due to a few lucky plays we managed to get back in front. We ha...

Re: Saints v Bluescum Team Line Ups + Ins & Outs
Nwm is our best kick in play at the moment, problem is he kicks it to where he believes our player should be running to. Unfortunately a few times he is too clever for the target and they don’t run where he thinks they should and it’s an easy mark for the opposition. Look out for it this week

Re: Changes for next week
I am not a fan of bringing a player in one week only to drop him the next. But virtually all players could be dropped after last week. We were gutless in the middle but limited options to replace players. Honestly don’t care now as no game plan means who ever comes in will struggle

Re: Changes for next week
I think the forwards are getting a bit of a bad wrap again. Can’t do much with poor service. From the mids. Members never quit and Sharman as well but he needs to find his own ball and stop going for speccies every mark. King however needs a rest if he plays like be has the last few weeks. Where are...

Has been our best defender for a long time, not sure why Howard gets all the attention. Disagree. Wilke is very highly regarded and even has a few articles written about him.

Re: Shaman , have to keep playing him.
Sharman needs to learn amd not try to take marknof the round every time . But the reason he did was the poor delivery. Can anyone remember a short sharp pass into fifty as opposed to a long bomb?

Re: It’s official- Dan Butler is blessed
As most know I prefer Sharman to butler at present but I am the first to admit he has flaws. But in order to fix them he needs game time. Plus the kid impacts the scoreboard and provides another option up front where as butler doesn’t. I also think we don’t need Higgins butler and long all in the on...
