Who is Coffield going to replace in our team? ..... He's not competing with Webster, Stocker, Paton as the lockdown small defender. .... Turning circles into squares - not "lockdown small defenders". More importantly, potentially a better player than all three ...IMO Yes, naturally a bett...

Who is Coffield going to replace in our team? As I see it he is competing with Highmore as the backup for our 3rd tall interceptor - Callum Wilkie He's not competing with Howard, Battle, Cordy as the tall back KP He's not competing with Sinclair, Nasiah for the role of playmaking HBF He's not compet...

IIRC, it wasn't our choice for Plugger to leave. It was entirely his (or his manager Hession). He was on his way to Collingwood until one of their board members decided he would rather have his son playing in the team than Plugger. Then someone at AFL/VFL House decided it might be a good idea to get...

Big Max comes in for Hayes. Suggest Battle comes back into the team, so who misses out? And if Seb Ross is fit? Suggest Byrnes makes way? The backup ruckman concerns me, I'm not a fan of using Owens in the ruck, especially in September finals. Battle was concussed and subbed out of the last game, s...

Agree with most. Stanley was a mistake - never really tried as a ruck properly at Stkilda. Made worse drafting Goddard at 21 who didn't work out at all. Names such as Steele, Touk Miller, Maynard, Mitch McGovern, Dougal Howard, Langdon drafted afterwards doesnt help - also that stanley is now a Pre...

The funny part is the negative free kick ratio last year was proof the umps were cheating against us. Now that ratio is positive and we are the ALF's biggest beneficiary, the stat is no longer posted on a weekly basis or relevant, yet some supporters still bitch and moan. How good do we want it bef...

Maybe the fool who thinks it’s funny to have a photo of him as an avatar will finally discover some class and remove it?

It would be interesting to see some other statistics :- How we rank in most tackles laid? Is there a correlation between tackling and getting/giving frees? What area of the ground we were penalised? What areas of the ground we received frees? How many frees we gave/received for deliberate oob? How m...

So it looks like Billings is on his way. Will he join the Saints hall of fame list of players whom we let go and who went on to win a premiership medallion at another club? The only way he is leaving is if we let him - he's contracted for another year. Much like Hunter Clark last year - if someone ...

Would people consider trading him to GC for a guy like Mabiour Choi (or however it’s spelt). GC have suggested he’s on the table. Big unit, kicks goals, could pinch hit in the ruck as he has a decent leap. Have no idea what his value is Is Chol any upgrade on Jack Hayes? That’s a good point actuall...

Is Chol any upgrade on Jack Hayes?

Not selected on the bench

Great appointment

Magic Am I not allowed to defend my position? I wrote a post, you felt the need to address it - I chose to retort You got desperate and made it personal- typical That’s basically what happened That's your view. Mine is different You chose to use an emotive term in the Thread Title - one you knew wo...

I believe we spent all 24 weeks inside the Top 8

You seem to care what I have to say… Otherwise you wouldn’t have responded?! And responded multiple times???? If I’m right and Gresham, Clark, Billings and Paton ask for trades And We field offers for Steele Maybe I’ll revisit this thread? And Magic I love it when you get personal and start sledgin...

Did I use the term revolt? Believe I said exodus - which = departures Stop spinning it to a get BM thread with all your sook apologist chronies Yes - I rate Lyon No - I don’t think coaches determine success I rate Clarko Did he win Hawthorn 4 flags - no the players did Clarko also missed the finals...

Agree with the rest, but that is just wrong - it's a big big sound and it's great

You like it because your mate wrote it!

]Im not sure what the point of this thread was. No massive ladder position changes either, well not till now, oh and the year of Covid. Just the OP, who likes Lyon as a coach but thinks coaches are overrated, wanting to give the impression that there is a 'mass revolt' amongst the playing group and...

I think the correct term you’re looking for is :- Exit and not Exodus Exit as in leaving no matter the reason Exodus usually is used when people leave of their own accord Semantics I know but you chose the term (maybe mistakenly?) when you composed the thread title and everything you’ve posted since...

I might humbly suggest that the thread title has a connotation of a walkout by a large group of players, which is actually not what the OP was saying and most posters were agreeing with. There will be at least 6 new players next season some will be moved on by the Club some (not many I guess) will w...

Just asking
Why didn’t Higgins get 50 when dumped into the ground after the mark?

in an earlier post some one mentioned...Sincs to the middle and Windy on Neale. Has he made any other observable changes? Thanks.

I think Steele played on Neale that quarter
Since remained at half-back
