Re: A Missed Opportunity. Big Time.

Richmond had a host of speculative shots at goal in the first half that all sailed through. They couldn't miss. Typically, those shots have a 50% return, yet they had a 100% return. Everything they did worked in that first half. In general play we were with them and at times had control of things. ...

Re: Hear Shane Crawford?

Would you buy a racehorse from that man. Has sold his soul, like plenty of others, to the gambling industry and with it credibility. Richmond knew they had been in a game. Looking at a stat is lazy commentary/theatre; boys tried but had trouble putting combination punches together. Clearance domina...

Re: Will AFL review Cotchin, Lynch and 3rd umpire?

The umpires had a very bad night, missed a lot of frees more than usual...and it definitely helped one team more than the other. Richmond play on the edge, they went over the line a lot last night. It’s the umpires responsibility to keep the game within the rules, they failed, and it cost us. Our m...

Re: Schadenfreude

Fifth would normally get you pick 14 BUT AFL has donated pick 11 to Gold Coast as a bonus who have already on sold that pick. Makes Saints pick notionally pick 15. At least one lowly placed clubs is wanting to exploit the free agency compensation. If they can push out an older player who attracts a...

Re: AFL Endorsed Cheating

The AFL want a Collingwood v Richmond grand final. That’s interesting to ponder. Is it the AFL who want it or Channel 7? Do Channel 7 have an influence on the integrity of the competition because they want to maximise audiences? Did you notice how quiet Brucey and all the 7 commentators were when t...

Re: Post Mortem

Perhaps that’s a lesson for our defensive line coach to ensure that when Dougs is up against a tall forward (if Carlisle isn’t playing or another tall defender isn’t floating around ) that we have to have someone supporting him as third man up in a 2-1 contest. Especially when Dougs is up against so...

Re: Two mids and a forward.

Both Billings and Hill are exquisite users of the football when they have space and time. That’s why they have secured their large salaries. There were times in the game last night where some of our players were reluctant to use Billings when he was free. This has to stop. We had the same situation ...

Clark is not ready. Would love for him to put his hand up for a leadership spot, but I like the idea of co-captains for 2021. I’ve had second thoughts about Steele since watching him in a few interviews. Steele may grow into the role but I wouldn’t be making him sole captain just yet. If Hannas is o...

Re: Will AFL review Cotchin, Lynch and 3rd umpire?

The media commentators and sports journos are concentrating on a love tap on Dougs from Lynch (albeit with his knee), when they should be scrutinising the elbow that Paton copped to his ear hole in the first quarter Lynch was late in the contest and his arms were no where near the footy.

Re: Confirmed. Battle Marsh and Savage In. Tigs Lynch & Broad in

Marsh played as a running defender at Collingwood but mostly forward at the Saints. Wouldn't surprise me to see him line up on Lynch so Howard can take Jumping Jack Riewoldt with a plan to run off both of them. Wilke will take Dusty when he goes forward - even when he hovers around half forward. i ...
