Re: Ben Long. Furious
So you aren't dropping him this week. Cool.

Re: If Hannebery comes in...
For what it is worth Watson said that by playing Burke in the back pocket we could extend his career for a couple of years. Not sure if Burkey agreed! And whenever a game was close to being out of reach at half time Tim would move Burke back into the centre and we would win clearance after clearance...

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Time to get ruthless. It’s way overdue. I thought his tackling and pressure in the past two games WAS ruthless. But you disagree and are dropping Long for the rest of the year so we can play finals? Who is having the lend? For me I am tired of watching other teams like Geelong, bash, crash and thro...

Back pocket?
What was it that Tim Watson used to say when he infuriatingly played our best aging mid Nathan Burke there over and over again?

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Is it another symptom of the failing "bomb it to a pack inside 50" end play? I saw the Saints bomb it to packs of weagles players on more than a few occasions yesterday "Look up for god sake. Kick it to a loose fwd." I scream repeatedly as they drag me into the ward in a strait j...

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Long was pretty ordinary before he was dropped. But so have been 90% of the squad hence our collective coniptions. Last two weeks has brought the relentless intensity we have clearly been lacking. Gives me the shytes when a player comes to play, turns a corner, does the team thing without hesitation...

Re: Ben Long. Furious
...reasonable pressure player in very small patches... 3rd in the Saints tackle count after coming on at quarter time. Had west coast players ducking for cover and all totally legal. Nailed a shot on goal from distance. And last week Long's intensity as emergency sub with short amount of game time ...

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Five possessions lol 🤣🤣🤣 It’s not even a duscussion. Wouldn’t get a game in Geelong’s reserves with 5 possessions. He’s 24 years old. Seriously, how much more do you wait?? He’s in delisted territory given he cannot find the ball and doesn’t kick any goals So look at stats and drop Long and Battle?...

Re: Team v Eagles
It is a compliment and well earned. This year Long has been very disciplined without dropping his intensity. Kudos.

Re: Prediction for WCE game
My prediction
Ratten: Win this and we will be back in the eight.
Players: S### the bed.
So hope that I am wrong. Hate it when we lose even after all of these years. Would love it if we have a massive form turnaround starting in Perth. Stanger things have happened.

Re: Game Plan - Two Loose Men theory
Rather than fill space the unmarked players should move into space unopposed. Let their defenders crowd around Max and take the advantage.

Re: Tasmania
We should distance ourselves from a putrid history at the junction Anyway It’s a cricket ground We left there 50 years ago for that very reason I may be missing something having left Melbourne a few years ago, but wouldn't the JO need a silly amount of money to get up to even 20K capacity?

Game Plan - Two Loose Men theory
My footy qualifications are strictly limited to being a keen observer and long suffering supporter. But from a tactical perspective I can't stop thinking about our forward structure and failed effective passes to King inside 50. Is the solution as simple as pointing out to the rest of the team that ...

Three or four more Ben Longs would have been handy last week. Baffling not rewarded for bringing it.

Re: Tasmania
What are the logistics of developing the Junction Oval or nearabouts and getting St Kilda Council, City of Melbourne, Tourism Vic Gov on board? The whole precinct would be buzzing on game nights win or lose, and, as a I mentioned, going up to the Espy or wherever after a game would make everything a...

Re: “Frankly atrocious” - GT’s 2 cents worth
No point in worrying about a new coach until we know why there has been a Colombia bull ring type collapse. And no prospective coach would be interested until they know as well. Surely Ratten didn't take the squad to the movies over the bye? Given past history surely that would be negligent and a s...
