Re: Hunter Clark
As for comments about the shape of his body, did you ever see Matthew Lappin play? That skinny Kade Simpson went tokay for 342 games. Chunky Dane Swan went okay, too.

Re: Hunter Clark
Wow....nice. So, when Robert Harvey was suffering his multiple hamstring strains in the middle of his career, I suppose we should have dumped him. I suppose we should dump Max King, too. And that Liam Henry. Tore his hamstring in his second game. Let's get rid of him. Clearly hadn't prepared himself...

Re: Sandringham V North Melbourne
He doesn't attack contests with the same vigour as some others. He's a lead up forward who is very good at for finding space and timing his leads.
The problem is his intensity

Re: Players who can land a set shot
Higgins and King are 50/50 bets even when 30m out directly in front
The only players I have a lot of faith with when going for set shots are Sharman, Butler, Wood, Cordy, and Sinclair
I cover my eyes when King, Owens, and Higgins are lining up

Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..
The last few weeks have been disappointing from Byrnes. Struggles to find the ball and his disposal has been rushed, which suggests he's down on confidence. Once Clark, Dow, and Henry come in he'll be back at Sandy. I really like his workmate and attitude and there's no doubt he gives it his all, bu...

Re: Mattaes Phillipou
Petracca averaged about 12 possessions in his first 30 games.
So did Brendan Goddard. So did Lenny Hayes
Why feel the need to kick a young guy who's just starting out in his career.
Poor form

Re: Team v Roos
Sharman has put in some poor efforts recently. Not surprised he's been dropped. Hayes will give us the vigorous contest that Sharman doesn't. Caminiti a bit stiff, but that shoulder of his may be hindering him a bit. Nice to see Angus Hastie on a wing. Clearly the coaches like what they've seen. We ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Crouch gets one week for nearly breaking a player's neck Butters gets off for running past the ball and bumping a player front on in the head. Deemed to be trying to pick up the ball by Christian.

Re: The Roar opinion piece
Yep. It's a hit piece. One thing you can count on from journos is exaggeration. A team wins by one point and they're superstars, they lose by one point and they're an abject failure. We're used to getting kicked like this, but it doesn't make it any less nauseating to read or listen to. 18 months ag...

Re: Durrrrrr Howard
200cm key defenders are hard to find and even average ones are worth having. Howard has played some solid football for us in the past and when it comes to one on one his record is good except for the heavy giants like Dixon and Hawkins. He is not strongly built and that's a pity. I think the issue m...

Re: Dual narrative
Getting Simon Dalrymple to the club surely means we are more draft focused than trade focused. I can't see any evidence of a genuine rebuild from 2012 to 2022, just a series of ill conceived moves, third rate recruitment, and failed development. Our recruitment strategy is different this time. Inste...

Re: Dual narrative
A lot of players these days play until they're 33 or 34, so the 28 year olds could play another 5 years, maybe 6. Our youngsters need two more seasons to get to being consistent footballers with mature bodies. It's a a bit of a tightrope we're on. Let's look at a team of players currently aged 25 or...

Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season
Richmond and St Kilda have been the teams hit hardest by injury and suspension. I think Lyon is trying to manage things because at best he's been 5 players short of his best line-up and at worst 8 players short. The midfield is a liability and he knows it, so you have to tinker with things and put p...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
We've been playing with an undermanned team since round 3. He knows we'd be better with those injured players back in the team. The midfield is killing us. It's putting pressure on both ends of the ground. Marshall is the only player who gets multiple clearances a game. Steele has been good for the ...

Yep. Two goals in the last minute of the second quarter and one goal in the last minute of the third.
Got beaten badly in the clearances in the last 5 minutes.
Umpires have d code that St Kilda played dint deserve a single free kick
