I always liked Bruce for his effort and hard work during a strange era but he's definitely made a few unnecessary comments after leaving the Saints... And then finishes with this... "The move to the Bulldogs has been one of the most defining moments of my life." He played 99 games with us ...

Unless someone is injured or really sore then they play. We're still playing for a home final and we need to keep working on building chemistry between mids/fwds.

No resting.

I reckon Cordy is a certainty to come in...

Funny, because i thought it was his best press conference of the year.

You are one out here. A lone voice. That was a really inept disgraceful performance which clearly shows that the side has gone backwards this year. I blame the coach but you can blame the players. Bookmark what you like. i will prove to be correct, and not you. So the Coach murdered the ball by foo...

Considering he inherited exactly the same team and then that said team has been decimated by injuries we're probably 3 wins ahead of where we should be! Problem is we were 6 wins ahead at one point. Shows how well he started then... 5 of our starting fwds have played under 25 games... We're up agai...

Considering he inherited exactly the same team and then that said team has been decimated by injuries we're probably 3 wins ahead of where we should be! In saying that, losing the same way every week and playing the same style has been frustrating. Clearances, bombing it fwd, questionable team selec...

The same as every week. . Our mids get slaughtered and when we do get it fwd we kick it on top if the heads of our fowards, who are also just jogging or standing still and an opposition defender/ spare man gets 15 marks, 35 disposals and BOG. Or our defenders stop running and kick down the line to c...

He's 28 this year, as much as id hate to lose him, if a club offered three 1st rd picks then you'd have to take it. Its not the same as trading 21yo McEvoy.. and it would give us good draft picks before the Tassy team starts hoarding them all. Allowing Gresh to leave is a given, but really, id happi...

Unfortunately 'the Prospect' is turning 28 this year. Whilst not old, he's also not at all young, he is what he is., slightly undersized ruckman who gets some hitouts but not really to advantage, gets out bodied but bigger ruckman, is great at rushed clearances and around the ground, a nice mark is ...

Has already shown he'll be a good player at this level but as many have said, he (along with Byrnes, Caminiti) should've been rested or gone back to Sandy for a couple of weeks at least a month ago. Yes we have injuries and yes we dont have many knocking the door down but their diminishing returns a...

From Dan Hannebery’s megabucks deal, to Billings-over-Bontempelli and McCartin-over-Petracca, it makes for grim reading. FFS, can the Billings/Bontempelli choice be killed once and for all? Nobody...I repeat Nobody would have taken Bont at pick 3. Rather than continually bagging the Saints for taki...

FFS...is this for real At the risk of sounding callous (which I’ve done before)… Why would you or anyone be surprised. He’s injured coming back from injury this week… like he was during the preseason, like when he came back to to play seniors mid last year, and 7-8 times before that. I called this ...

It almost feels like Lyon has his plan for the year and he's not actually too fussed whether we win or lose. He should've been more aggrieved after that loss than he appeared but maybe he was behind closed doors.. My most concerning part of the game (and its already been mentioned) was the lack of f...

Knowing our luck we'll be bottom 4 just as Tasmania start getting their draft concessions

Didn't see the game (can you watch outside of Vic?) Keeler 3 goals, all in the first half. Connolly looking promising without being world beating. How did Membrey play haven’t seen him mentioned??? Not much to mention unfortunately. Watched the 2nd half and besides a gimme goal he hardly got near it.

I don't get the hate for Howard and Battle. We lost the game in the middle rather than inside our defensive 50. They had 58 inside 50s to our 43 and yet we were still leading the game with a couple of minutes to go. I would consider those stats to reflect favourably on our backline. Battle had a sh...

I hope we concentrate on recruiting and drafting the best midfielders from now on ... no second stringers. Id rather we lose whilst playing Windy and/or Bytel and seeing if they're upto it then trotting out this current midfield who as a coolective haven't been getting it done for weeks now. It put...

Wow. This this was rubbish bordering on gutless with a heavy dose of stupidity.

Steele has certainly never looked his normal self pre or post injury.

Hawthorn midfield dominating Will Day, Jai Newcombe, Connor Nash and James Worpel What an opportunity missed where Windy and Bytel could have gone head to head with 2 of their young blokes We needed to mix it up 5 weeks ago. Nothing has changed and instead of competition for spots we see mediocre p...

Midfield getting smashed again. Been struggling fir weeks and its been blatantly obvious for weeks we need to change it up a bit, even just for a week or 2.

Wow, this is woeful. We should be 35 points down.

We're just not good enough to turn up to a game with this level of desperation and commitment when we show such a low level of smarts and skills.

Wow! Thought a couple more changes may be on the cards but great to have stability in the first 22 and confidence in getting the job done Also drives real competition for spots Yeah but competition drops off if form isn’t rewarded Personally I’m very frustrated that Bytel, Windy and now Billings ar...

If it's for this season then yeah, another ruck in case of emergency would be reassuring.

Not really in the spirit of 'mid season' draft but i dare say like when we got Heath we'll approach it with the intention of getting the best young prospect regardless of position they played.
