Re: RTB's Presser
For me, the worst thing about most of his pressers but especially today, was just how flippant he is. He was totally unprofessional, at one point says ""s*** happens." I don't care how tough or ruthless he may be behind closed doors, when he fronts up to the public, I would like to s...

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
I find it fascinating that the original question I asked - "why is the community exclusively focused on female victims of violence/homicide when across the community in total 70% of the victims of violence and homicide are male"? The focus is entirely on 30% of the victims and "we sh...

Have I missed something? WTF does a knee injury have to do with conditioning? Impact injury isn't it?

Re: Well blow me over...
It was inspired stuff from Rossy. I'm sure it provided Wilson with a good shot of confidence. Anyone critical of his actions would have looked a bit "namby pamby"

Re: Higgins Alir incident
The AFL is F######. I love my football however increasingly getting so disillusioned by the game i.e umpiring rule changes and Gestapo running the game. How good were the good old days. AFL clearly have it in their sights which teams they want in finals. 28-8 free kicks last night absolute joke. Ca...

Re: Coming back
Hayes could be our 25th ‘best’ player But structure wise he’s critical He’s a better forward than Caminiti and a far better ruckman than Owens or Caminiti Caminiti has been woeful this season and was only given a pass for last year because of where he came from and we had no King or Membrey But the...

Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season
The opposition coaches have worked Lyon's game out after one and a bit seasons. Similar in a way to 2011 where the strengths of the game plan of 2009/2010 were picked apart by the opposition. Yesterday's man I'm afraid as I feared when they appointed him as coach again. If opposition Coaches worked...

Re: Team v Port
I don't think we're going with 4 big defenders. I initially thought Howard (or Cordy) might play forward, until I realised Membrey, Sharman & Camminiti are all still in. Josh Battle had a huge part in our comeback against GWS when he went into the middle in the last quarter. We couldn't use him ...

Re: Injuries have derailed our season
Another cop out. We took it to GWS, we took it to Collingwood and beat them, we came close to Geelong. With the same level of injuries. Todays' performance wasn't injuries. It was much more than that. "Emotion doesn't get it done". Maybe so, but it can certainly lose you the game if you d...

Re: AFL great Carl Ditterich charged with child sex offences
I don't know Carl Ditterich and I don't know the person making the allegation. So I have no idea as to the substance of the allegtions. Unfortunately, I can't rely on a Criminal charge as substance, as the Police often press charges even if they barely have a case. Given that it allegedly occurred a...

Re: Owens
Owens was definitely up the ground more in the 2nd half yesterday and we were using Hammer as 2nd ruck Also saw a bit more run and movement from Pou with a bit more kicking than usual Well I wouldn’t be surprised if Phillipou becomes an A-grade or better midfielder, but I reckon it’s a couple of ye...

Re: Owens
I agree that Owens ideally should be around the footy as an inside mid. I also don't think Lyon is a fool and there may be a good reason why he hasn't really played there yet. Has anyone considered the possibility that Owens doesn't yet have the tank to run through the midfield for any longer than h...

If he goes up a level during the season, then he gets a better contract. Phillipou does strike me as the type of ...
