Re: Saints v Hawks Marsh Cup Match Thread 2020
If my memory is not playing tricks Carlisle’s attempts to repair a back injury by various means were not successful hence he was forced to surgery which kept him on the sidelines until the latter half of the season If you play you are deemed fit but most obviously Carlisle was working himself back ...

Firstly, The King...he was played a bit deep and struggled to get into the marking contest. This takes increased size and experience, but he never stopped giving effort which eventuated in him kicking a goal from receiving a free kick in the contest. I was getting worried the coach would leave him a...

I was impressed with Abbott in the last quarter.Took the bloody commentators about 15 minutes to realise he was playing though What exactly did he do to impress you? I just rewatched the 4th...Abbott not only wins the hitouts, he consistently taps to advantage, to be honest....he was better than Ry...

Re: Geary should not be captain in 2020 because he is not in our best 22 (IMHFO).......
So if not Geary.....then who? Who has been at the club long enough, who carries the spirit and culture of the club, who trains and performs 100% , who keeps his personal life tidy and has the respect of the players, who is the one players stop and listen to? I guess the next best option is Ross. But...

Re: This Sunday
I'm glad we got our slice and finally have a Women's AFL team! About time! I'm not blind though, it's the same game played at a different level. I'm okay with that. We can't compare it to elite men's games just as we can't compare a local club to elite men. It's going to get better and eventually be...

DeGo Or No...
I'm interested in this idea of a seasoned mid/medium forward who can kick 40 goals pretty easily... but I think he'd have a big price tag.
Also, he was very inaccurate in front of goals in 2019 but still averaged 2 goals a game.
Do we need him?
Who does he replace?

I honestly would trade goals for a full season....He plays every game and stays healthy, that's worth 50 goals.

It will be challenging on China, no doubt. But American sports are investing 100's millions in China and some sports have a 20 year plan already. Basketball.

Re: Nick and his other Nick’s turns over a new leaf.
If the club is after fans they should chase Shanghai not Auckland. With a population just under 25 million and about double that within 100 km of the city, you only have to chase fractions of a percent oF the population recruiting fans to make it worthwhile. Chasing Auckland market share of sports ...

Re: Should Geary follow example of Walker, Hurn and Davis and hand over Captaincy?
I'm interested as to how people know what sort of leaders these players are. No idea how anyone would know that we have huge leadership void either. instead of taking a potshot can you attest to knowledge as to other worthy alternatives I would think the dearth of replacements in senior ranks is pr...

Re: Should Geary follow example of Walker, Hurn and Davis and hand over Captaincy?
Captaincy is 85% about who leads the lads in rooms, practice and in actions. Geary has always been a decent player not elite. However, his effort is 100% everytime he sets foot on the grounds. That said, it is time for him. I wish he would pull the plug. I wanted Reiwoldt to pull the plug and nomina...

Re: Do you honestly think bringing in 5 traded players was the right move?
If we get the club culture right and get winning seasons we will attract young stars ( that some other club paid to develop). Trading in players that have 2-4 years of upside (some have more) is a gamble but no more than any draft. Drafts alone as some type of fix all or security for the future is p...
