Be interesting if Ratts gets north up and about and finish higher then us at season end. Yeah right. You can't make chocolates out of boiled lollies. I suppose you also believe that Donald Trump is law abiding citizen. What are you talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did I say anything a...

Be interesting if Ratts gets north up and about and finish higher then us at season end.

F*** me. He's gotten off to an OK start but surely not worthy of a 3 year deal. The Sharman 2 year deal is still hurting. Maybe its a minimum wage deal...hopefully. This is where Geoff Walsh was supposed to provide oversight. If the hammer has a full pre season he could turn out to be a real revela...

Talking of family members - not the O’Donnell’s but the Owens. I was watching (on-line) the VFL match, North versus Frankston. Reason I was watching it, a friends grandson plays for Frankston. North ended up by slaughtering The Dolphins. I watched about two & a half quarters of the match. Very ...

Marshall didn't train on Friday he ran a few laps and went in the rooms so we should have played a second ruck option like Campbell even as a 23 man he could at least ruck most of the day with Marshall off for such a long period of time.

its not good on Owens to ruck we need him in the midfield.

The coach and match committee are playing our best 22. That's the team they drew up at the start of the year and Unless they are injured or suspended all 22 get a game each and every week King, Windhager and Webster are all best 22..none played yesterday! It was a tongue in cheek comment. Match com...

Gresham? If fit comes back in as has something we lack - explosiveness from contest We have a explosive and hard nosed player who can play in midfield in Owens but he is rucking this will wreck him he needs to go on ball now that caminiti and king will be there. Out should be Sharman, Membery, Patt...

no

Yesterday was probably the sharpest I’ve seen our boys train for some time. Very slick, running on top of the ground with guys that have been struggling recently, such as Membrey, Steel & Crouch, looking much better. It would be remiss of me not to mention young Caminiti monstering Josh Battle ...

Who I would you drop to put in Caminiti and King the ones I would drop are either Seb and Patton/Sharman did not have great games been a while now since they did ok. I would drop them for king and caminiti I really thought caminiti presented well consistently in the early rounds Sharman I am not sur...

Leave Membrey in when he is the 3 option with King and caminiti in he will do a lot better. caminity is a different sort of player very mobile should play CHF Membrey on the flank and King deep in the forward line with Butler, Higgins with Owens either in the midfield or HFF with Po. Out this week t...

If you've listened to Lyon's press conference last night and throughout the past couple of months, he doesn't fawn over King and King will need to play to the team's system. He's not getting a free ride. I think ultimately he will come straight in however Lyon is letting him know who the boss is an...

Yes straight back in A fit king takes the best defender even if he is not match fit to good a player not to play.
I would hate to see him in the 2s get injured and out for season.

Unfortunately this type of behaviour is still very prevalent everywhere in society including this forum. The challenge is amongst that group of ppl that harbour those negative attitudes but know what they can and can’t say and walk around the line rather than cross it. All you can really do is conf...

He’s in, finally. https://click.e.saints.com.au/?qs=0b267eb1ea526c12ddd67d03706244f9015350f374d11f4627a28de3d49ea3802c0eb55aff446e2901a4a012c41cc31aea9170f9f356c44ede30f89b1440cdd1 He is in on his great form in the VFL where he has played on the wing and in defence and done nothing And hasn't playe...

Yes I am sure Ben is happy on GC and has brought a house and his GF is up there as well. Its the same for hundreds of players that go interstate to play and they often pack up and move to another club and city its the nature of AFL so I would rule him out yet. He could be saying that to get the heat...

Chances are Max plays for Sandy before the bye.

Lets hope no more soft tissue injuries

Marshall does lack a bit of forward craft but so does cordy and Iam sure the can learn how to play forward, he would be a lot better then Cordy, and can mark so is a target not just our smalls and mid size forwards. Campbell is all we have in the ruck department and he is a good tape ruck maybe not ...

This is AFL not local leagues standards are higher stats show teams with less injuries usually make finals we were devastated by injury some were bad luck but the ones to some players still in rehab is uncappable. Wonder if Paddy would still be playing if someone else was running our fitness program...

drop cordy for campbell for the reasons I said in the post

What was GT going to do about Goose’s broken leg Roo’s Broken Collarbone Watts broken ankle Hayes ACL Hamill torn cartilage Penny - degenerative hip Brooks ACL Kosi - Concussion/Torn quad/Bulging disc Should I keep going?? Coaches don’t control injuries Otherwise it’d be Lyons fault we have 14 inju...

After Last week game were we were constantly out marked in the forward line why not play Row as a key forward, he came to us as a KPF and drop Cordy play Campbell as the ruck and give him 60% of ruck work Row 40% we could try it for the next week game. It would allow our mid size players Owens, Mate...

I wouldn’t throw 800k at DeKoning to fix it

We have one of the best tap ruckman sitting in the VFL Campbell is really good with his feeding to the mids and his body work and marking.
So why not play him for Cordy?

Cordy is a very important player to our team in terms of being able to play multipule positions. Maybe we should have moved cordy to CHB and taken Battle out to play up forward as he was getting smashed. Key defence is Cordy position and he has played on some of the biggest and best forwards and do...
