Ratten started Hill on a wing Struggled to impact due to decreased fitness from previous years Moved him to the easier position of HB where he played some good footy. Occasionally he played HF but was again inconsistent. Hill had a HUGE pre season and got his running power back Lyon has played Hill...

2 + 2 = Whatever stories that are conjured up by some supporters who are only too eager to harp on about when they only have the absolute minimum of detail.

Nothing wrong will predicting for fun but even for a magician it would only be very wild guesswork as we don't even know how our team will line-up, we don't know all the other teams line up, and don't even know the draw yet.

Nevertheless I'll 'predict' Saints 4th-8th

Dogs sniffing is a normal act, as long as the club don't get pissed or shat on.

Interesting to revisit this after the trades, draft and preseason but what would everyone say is a pass mark for 2024 after the year we've had in 2023, where clearly the selection decisions were being made for 2024 and beyond. For me it's fighting for top 4, within a game at the end of the season. ...

Bytel is not our answer

Giants are playing Saints footy better than us.

I couldn’t decide who I wanted to win last night. In a Bangkok Irish pub of all places, it appeared on the screen. Now Jack Newnes and Blake Acres have won games for Carlton off their boot in the most dire moments. Bloody Carlton! Enough is enough I nearly always know who I am going to go for in ev...

They won a Grand Final by 13 goals. They lost two finals this year by under 8 points. Same as last year. They're going alright. That win against the Dogs who were stuck at Adelaide during the GF week, were flown in late from memory - Dogs didn't have an equitable chance on the day of the dance and ...

I would have gone for Howard but the Cordy was selected. Nevertheless, everything is about the future development and no matter what is said in hindsight is just making unnecessary noise. In the end I say congratulations to the coaches and players and thanks for your effort to get where we got and i...

Well we had a pretty good ride this year, considering.

Cordy?

We'e in disarray

A few mistakes and missed marks

Just for you mate.

Thanks for the transcript

Great to see our youngsters getting final(s) experience.

No use asking this old bugger who is unconditionally biased against Collingwood and Melbourne in the first place. I was stupid enough to believe that 'Front-on contact', 'Hitting someone in the head', and 'Causing any sort of concussion' were all illegal, intent or not, so obviously I won't be havin...

Who do we think will take his place as the scapegoats if we lose?

Exactly

Vid: Saints' huge selection call with fit-again defender to be left out Defender Dougal Howard won't regain his place in the Saints' line-up for their elimination final against Greater Western Sydney. Ross Lyon on Thursday answers questions pre-selection. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1025310/st-kilda...

GWS are on a roll. Statistically, in some key areas, they are the strongest team in the top 8. Their form is different to when we played them 3-4 months ago. Their players (and I mean some of their stars) are high on confidence. Our pressure and tackling and defensive strategies alone will not win ...

I know people in the crowd seem to panic when Dougal gets it, in d50 but his clangers and turnovers have not been high numbers. A few high profile ones in a game and it was knives out. The bloke is 199cm and people expect him to play like Caleb Daniel. You may have noticed I'm a Dougal defender, bu...

Not sure why so many people appear to be convinced that the Giants won't have Bedford's suspension overturned.

If we play at our best we have an excellent chance of winning no matter what their line-up is, as long as AFL tribunal system is timely and accountable. The issue of keeping our coaching staff in the dark is nothing short of contempt.
