Re: Changes for the Elimination Final
This is the thing we need to get our head around, we fell into the finals with 10 wins and 7 losses in a much shorter season. If this was full strength competition we would be 2 or 3 games short of securing a finals berth Now I'm no Stephen Hawking, but 10 wins from 17 matches is around a 59% winni...

Re: Off Season Targets
Does this force Geary's hand on retirement? With Roberton, Long, Wilkie, Coffield, Webster, McKenzie and the best stopper of them all Paton all locked in, where does Geary fit in. Wilkie, Paton, Long and Coffield are just about guaranteed priority, Webster and Roberton play tall and small and are t...

Re: Different type of thread
The 3rd quarter against Port was the highlight for mine. It was the first time I'd seen a complete team performance of hardness. Throughout that quarter Port ratcheted the hardness up several times expecting us to not go with them and fold as has become our reputation over the journey but each time ...

Re: Training today ...
Assisted Meters Gained
(AMG).
So if a player disposes of the ball backwards 10 meters to a player who takes it forward 50m, that player will have an AGM stat of 40m
Ratts uses this stat extensively to measure his set plays and Kent and Sebby are the best proponents.

Re: Saints looking at Shaun Higgins
This is an interesting development in our recruiting strategy. I wonder if Lethers and Gubby have modified the strategy to meet the influence of the recession and the AFL financial restrictions in place which will only get tighter. The media are still carrying on as though we have a war chest howeve...

I think Lonie is the player we should be trying to keep. We are a better side when he is playing. His competitiveness, aggression and intensity lifts the side.

Re: Steele and Butler in 40 man AA Squad
Accoriding to Slobbo, Steele will line up as the AA Centre and he’ll be in the starting 18. You have to remember that Murdoch papers are very good at tapping people’s phones and having the right connections within the telcos to get the ‘inside’ word. I’m sure that’s where Carro gets all her thorces...

Re: Finals Predictor
If we don't beat the Dogs then it really has been a disappointing finish to the year and means we will have only won 3 games in 9 matches. Win against the Dogs and we might have turned a corner. We will be favorites against the Dogs and I expect a win. After that who know what can happen but we are ...

Re: Billings raring to go after 7 year wait
Jack is a good & required player & has had a reasonable season IMO but I think if he has a good finals series it might just throw the the monkey off his back & self belief might just be the tonic to get him to the next level Exactly. As silly as it sounds, he has an opportunity for a be...

A massive opportunity for Jack to change perceptions that he's a downhill skier. That’s your perception SK. Don’t create a narrative that’s not there. Jack's biggest weakness is his lack of on field leadership. A big reason why Hanners was recruited and it's no accident we play much better when Han...

Re: Keys to beating the dogs
Our game plan hasn't changed much this year with the main obvious tweek around increasing our i50 count and creating potential to score opportunities within 25m to 30m of goal. It is now a strength and the two important cogs in that set play are Sebby and Kent. It's clear they are playing the role o...

Re: You are the coach
If Jones doesn't come up and Jake is still around the team will be unchanged. I watched the replay again last night and Kent was very good, really got us going with his long roaming up the ground and pressing back towards goals. He had the teams highest i50 count of 6 and was 6th for meters gained. ...
