Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns of Beaches Round 13 2019

I dont agree with the comments from Dermie and Lynch about Max King. Basically saying he needs more time before coming into senior footy. And listening to the game they did say some good things about Ben King, and he has 5 games. I think Max King should be playing to gain confidence and learn the g...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns of Beaches Round 13 2019

Was thst really stupid for Membrey to not chip it 15m to Billings, instead of taking that shot?

Would have taken another 30 seconds off the clock. Game over.

Re: Poor conversion rate

Couldn’t agree more. But it’s not just a matter of kicking straighter. It’s the whole process, including personnel in front of the ball. We’re continually kicking into a crowded forward line and many of our shots are scrambled and made under extreme pressure. Exactly!!! It's not a lack of ability, ...

Re: What are we selling to free agents?

Select the same players for the game this week and tell me how much Ross would extract from them.

Select the same players for the game in 6 years, and I'd bet my life he'd extract more from them than Cho has in 6.

If you reckon coaching doesn't make a difference, then you haven't played footy. Over the years I've seen many clubs in various comps change coach and started winning more games with the same list.

Re: Match thread, Port in Shanghai

Our coach - even with the help of his able assistants - can't just wave a magic wand and turn our C graders into stars with elite skills, and/or develop game plans so superior to those of the opposition coaches that would overcome our list deficiencies. Carlton and North say hi. That made me laugh ...
