Encouraging potential long term player (preferably fwd). Saturday proves he can take big grabs and he gave us glimpses earlier of dead eye dick goal kicking capacity.

Regarding next two games - I will leave that to those who know better than I do. Player availability, fitness, matchups etc.

Brand, work rate, attitude. Yep!

Recruiting several messiahs. Fine but not the current main concern.

I can't see Sharman losing confidence from his game on Saturday. To me it was very encouraging.

Fixing what happened after half time on Saturday (which looked similar to what we have done in other games since the bye) I think is key to being competitive in 2023. Otherwise it could be a very long year.

Points taken older saint but Sharman's game show he is definitely a keeper. Was good to see someone taking contested marks around the ground. How many did he grab was it three or four? Could he be a potential matchup for Hipwood?

He’s on Bigfooty if you miss him I still skip his inane dribble Just argues for the sake Not a club apologist that’s Saynta or Mehebabblelots But each to their own if you like that stuff I certainly don't miss his dribble. It's not like dribble stopped on here after he was gone. Especially when the...

No I’m Cairnsman and sometimes on here go by the name Vortex For real? And do you purposely run different personality traits for each? i.e. Vortex is the prickly one? Or is that just arbitrary? And do Teflon and Vortex have conversations/arguments amongst each other? Has one ever reported the other...

I think that second half should be a boiler plate of what needs to be addressed in our game plan. What needs to be changed/adjusted so that we would be competitive in that situation instead of ineffectual. Hard to watch it but if we dont address it we will get to watch it over and over again against...

Sadly not as laughable as q3 and q4 on Saturday night.

Fill in a mid season fortnight break with return of state of origin? I'll never forget Dunstall and Lockett wearing the Big V at the G. The 10 million dollar question all week was which one of them would start in the goal square. Of course before the ball was bounced at the start of the game they bo...

I agree but not with a top 10.

As exciting as it might be even a top 8 is rewarding mediocrity.

Should go back to top 5 or top 4

Revenue raising was the only reason for going to 8.

I suppose playing for 8th position prevents a bit of tanking so there is that.

This is one (of many) reasons why AFL can no longer really be considered a professional sporting code. The manipulating of the draw is done to increase revenue and create blockbuster events. To maximise audience ratings. This puts the sport more into the entertainment field like WWE wrestling. And j...

I forgot what forums were like. You can put together a 500 word post addressing various situations, concerns and ideas, and then some Poindexter will jump on one word and endlessly harp on about the semantics of one word in an attempt to, what, show some type of intellectual authority? Embarrasing. ...

Can’t be a terrible coach

Can he?

Keep changing the subject. Your claim is that coaches have no influence on results. I am not going to address random diversions to limit spamming the forum.

I'm out. cheers

Why does he say hello? Is he a great coach? Change the subject. Good on ya. McRae appears to be a tad more influentual on game day results than Buckley at the minute. But you would appear to disagree and have a different understanding of how the filth have climbed 15 places on the ladder. Nothing t...

But as far as influence on results go

The quality of the list is what gets it done?

Craig McRae says hello.

How do you hand pass with determination? The difference between fumbly, awkward handballs in the general direction of a team mate, typically at their feet, and into more traffic (watch replay of last night's game for countless examples) and solid, purposeful, determined, hand balls out of traffic t...

We typically lack movement when one of our players has the ball or has a free kick. So most of the time the choice is a high pressure kick to a one out or kick to a pack. Both options potentially result in turnover and against good teams this means goals against. So we end up playing nervous footbal...

Guaranteed to make us competitive for four quarters: 1. When we have the ball all players to run hard into space to give the playmaker options. (as opposed to current practise of most players being stationary making the ball holder stop, prop, and then aimlessly kick to a pack hoping for the best) 2...

Maybe they could switch to nitrous; wasn't Grant Thomas getting a dentist on board?

I liked the roar of the horn of the diesal train that went past ~5 mins before time while we were a few points up followed by the cheeky cheers from the Saints supporters in the crowd. I like to imagine that the train driver was listening to the game on his radio when the Cats scored that point in d...

Guaranteed they are going to inflict physical pain on us. A bruising. They always do. Billings should thank his lucky stars if he misses and it would be cruel to name NWM. Lienert needs to be a definite in. Docs better bring a heap of denkorub and panadols for later. Best tactic will be to try and k...

However it came out to me its still win/win. Whether it was an over hyped rumour confected by a "journo" or an intentional leak from the club the net result is that the perceived value of the contract is diminished. So potentially if he does come to the Saints we won't pay overs for him. I...

Happens daily. Journo calls board member: Will you be voting for Pauline Hanson? Saints Board Member: What?? That is none of your affair. J: So its confidential? S: Are you kidding me? J: So your not voting for her? S: Look. I will be weighing up policies and candidates and will vote for who I vote ...

Couldn't he just bomb it forward without looking?
