It's interesting with Caminiti going to defence. It probably means he won't be the 2nd ruck option. I reckon if Max King doesn't start crashing packs consistently and if he doesn't show Ross Lyon that he's the number 1 tall rooster in that forward line then Ross will be forced to play him as the 2n...

Interesting to hear the debate fire up in the media today about raised knees in a contest...been saying it for a while now, significantly more head trauma ocurs in the game from legal acts than illegal ones. Also. been saying the AFL know they have to outlaw the raised knee in a contest...it's going...

Mentioned on TV last night that North Melbourne's # 3 draft pick in 2020, Will Phillips, can't get a game even though doing quite well in the seconds. Main reason for missing out on selection is that North have a bevy of strong young mids who are obviously considered better. He's played 35 games in...

Covid recruits are a bit like any movie made in 2020, not that good. Vortex - I totally disagree . The Dry , starring great Saints fan Eric Bana, was released in 2020 and I reckon is an excellent movie. The recent sequel wasn’t too bad either. [/quote] Actually I watched that too and I agree it was...

Although the poorer and weaker clubs like ours possibly won't ever win a flag without considerable AFL concessions like North are currently enjoying, our survival is assured whilst we remain a gambling product. Gambling revenue has become a gold mine and the AFL wants more teams in the competition a...

He hasn't got close to the level of attack on the ball and and want to hunt the ball relentlessly like he did against tbe Pies. Hopefully what he bought to the Pies game is something we see on a regular basis. He's a confidence player unfortunately and that's going to lead to inconsistency. His last...

He's selling heaps of really cheap military hardware and ammunition, rocket launchers etc, stuff left over from the Ukraine war, he can even organise finance...just click on the link.

Moore's raised knee into the back of Petracca will eventually be outlawed. Raised knees will be outlawed soon enough but the AFL will need to manufacture media and fan support as it's associated with an iconic part of the games history, specifically aerial marking. A similar incident to RoMa getting...

Howard, Membrey and Webster no big loss, Cordy and Sharman are equal or better replacements. NWM is a huge loss, hopefully Arie is given some licence to use his big leg to set up some attacking plays. Jones sub IMO We’ll see tonight, I agree Membrey and Howard are no loss but who’s going to lock do...

Looking forward to seeing Arie play at the level.

Hopefully Sharman can have one of those ok performances he has every 20 or so matches .

Howard Naz and Jimmie out is significant.

This could get ugly.

... Both Hill and Nasiah were 'gesturing' to get him to run straight at them... Alas, he is not Nick Riewoldt. Nick could do three leads and still have enough energy for a fourth if needed which usually meant his opponent was way behind. Max is incapable of that, and even his first lead will never ...

Not surprised our forwards aren't getting in the votes, they looked VFL standard tonight. Too bad for the great RTB that he can't go out and recruit a new midfield and a new forward line at seasons end. :lol: :lol: We would have looked much worse without Buttlers game and his game was ok and still ...

Not sure how he actually does it?!

Watch him closely, he moves like a "swarmer" style boxer, the hardest boxer style to reprodcuce, he can sustain a high level of concentration for longer and has an uber complementary athletic profile.

King wasn’t leading (or even trying to lead) he was jostling to get over the back. If he just turned and did a hit up lead he would’ve had an easy uncontested mark and shot at goal That play fully encapsulates his issues And one other play, the one where he gave away a clear push in the back free. ...

I'm kind of sick of people making excuses for King- he got flogged last night and only looked slightly better when he went up the field. He is one of our luckiest players in that regards being the constant and readily available supply of excuses. He just doesn’t use his tools to work hard enough to...

This is pure guess work but I would imagine that even if our injury list was so bad and Campbell and Collard were the only available options to get selected in the ruck, Collard would get picked.

From what I understand

He is a certainty to be a Hawthorn next season

Which is disappointing

Speaking to him in the rooms last night after the game it didn't seem like he wanted to play anywhere else but with us...

Rubbish. The Bulldogs and Melbourne Grand Final in 2021 was one of the best games of football I've ever seen. I remember their former captain Nathan Jones missing out on getting a game. Melbourne have wasted their window of opportunity and wasted the last few years with the talent they had on their...

Good post NDS Claus, but just need to correct a couple of things re Collingwood and Melbourne. They both won flags 2 years after dropping to the bottom of the ladder (not "the year before")...but both showed they could compete at the pointy end. Collingwood changed coach after they "...

Liam Henry had 2 goal assists for the day(the most of any Saint). 1 GA in the 2nd quarter and 1 GA in the 3rd. Goal assists in the last quarter were courtesy of Higgins, Butler, Owens, Steele and Windhager And Caminiti was involved in some nice goal assists. Our forwards won us the game by kicking ...
