Re: Will changes be significant ?
Saynta, that's a **** horrible thing to do to a kid.
Bloody sadists, and the worse thing is, the Brothers foster those types, and attract them to their ranks.
Absolute horror.
Unbelievable

Groin- at training. Kent slowly recovering from concussion got totally cleaned up. Hannebery doing more than he’s done since pre-season.

Re: Will changes be significant ?
"Soft tissue" injuries continue to wreak havoc on top players. Just bad luck? How's that Moorabbin surface?
Does bad luck ever turn or is it never a nil sum game.
Hannebery doing more. Pleasing, round 23 re-entrance to the game would be so ironic, particularly if its a contract trigger event.

The same prick gave me 6 cuts for moving on parade one day when.we were practising for a st pats day.march.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Thu 27 May 2021 8:17pm Saynta, that's a **** horrible thing to do to a kid.

I was in the cadets band and played a calvary bugle.
It was after school.hours. I moved because the base drum player kept hitting me in.the stomach with.his drum.stick
The band leader was the school.captain and he reported me.
The next day, I was summoned.
Broke all the veins in.my wrists. My.mother had a fit and packed all my cadet gear back in my duffle bag and dumped it in the school.office.End of my cadet days fortunately.
Loved my mum. hated that prick for years.
Funny thing is I went to a School reunion a couple of years ago and the prick was there.
Evidently he was a former student at the school when.the brothers recruited him at a young age.
Don't know if he remembered me but he said when looking at an.old Blue and Gold, the schools annual report, he let slip that one.of the brothers was a fearsome man and regularly was free and easy with the strap.
Their straps were two strips of leather sown together with a lead piece in the.middle. I agree with you f****** sadists really.
I left feeling sorry for the prick.
He was just carrying on.the brutality that he was subjected to as a student. A lot like DV perpetrators
These days the pricks would end up in court on assault charges
But we digrees. Back to the saints.

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Pathetic changes really. Butler and Hill remain untouched, the usual whipping boys in Bytel and Lonie get dropped. Pity about Clark, but glad to see Coff back in. Hopefully Dunstan proves a few doubters wrong.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Yep,
It’s just two changes,..two fringe players making way for two fringe players
Dunstan played North last time and played well.
Coffield is just a token dropping...
Wood an ex-North player so, that old rule applies...I call it the Kent rule ...they’ll play better against their old team
Bytel and Lonie are the two drops.
Dunstan and Wood the ins.
Nothing revolutionary. Neither Dunstan or Wood will be in our quadriple flag streak from 2023-2026. I can guarantee it.
Wood, Butler, Higgins, Hill etc., just too good to drop.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Hill should have been dropped after we lost to Melbourne and Essendon. King should have been dropped 5 weeks ago. The sores aren't healing they're festering

Re: Will changes be significant ?
5 weeks ago or 6 or whatever. I meant he was poor again last week.King is lacking confidence and I think they are going about it the wrong way
I wouldn't mind so much if All our young players were treated like him
He's in development mode and if it's ok to drop Bytel and Not give Bytel consistent games then all players should be treated equally.
I'd be more worried about losing Bytel when he's ooc more than I am worried about losing King

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Saynta, what happened to you was obviously criminal.
At the time, it was encouraged in order 'to keep unruly boys in line' but moving cos you were getting hit doesn't deserve any penalty at all.
The cuts were so over the top, is just proof that they were damaged, as you said.
We used to cop it a bit at CBC as well.
A few times, guys copped it for wagging school and other minor indiscretions.
One fave method of the Bros was to do it in front of the whole class, but make all of us stand up and turn our backs during the violence.
We could hear the whacks and heard the guys rubbing their hands furiously after each whack. Maybe rubbing palm on shirt or shorts to ease the sting.
It sent a very strong message to all of us

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Awesome STATEMENT Saints
Drop the perpetual whipping boy (lonie)
Up and coming marginal player (bytel)
Player that should back from retirement (frawley) who has been excused with injury
And a player that is not AFL worthy (listed with a sore toe)

I had an L1A1 rifle that I proudly carted around. I think it was the successor to the 0.303.
On the range, we each got to use all the guns, including a hand-held machine gun (M50?) that had a barrel with an outer pipe that had holes all around for cooling. On automatic, it wanted to rotate in your hands
Never had any leeches, the only water was at the obstacle course, that woulda been horrible.
I fully understand the Brothers thing, as I went to CBC about 2-3 years ahead of Eddie Maguire. Never ever met him.
Brothers could be incredibly harsh n overbearing, their attitude was always that boys were like feisty horses that needed to be whipped into shape, and what u say exactly fits their own standards. I reckon they wanna punish boys for their own life choices of the cloth, like 'I'm miserable, so i'm gonna make you unhappy too'.
Remember that 'give me a boy for 5 years, and I'll give u a man for life' or something.
The military with us were all NCOs, no officers.
These folk were career desk jockeys, had absorbed the public service ethos of 'near enough is good enough' and cruising a bit (like Benny Hill).
They did get us up at 5am each day by starting a 5-ton truck and leaning on the horn for half a minute, giving us a strict time-frame to get up and organize ourselves.
He lined us all in on the parade ground and made the cadet bend over and then started whacking him on the arse with his wooden baton or swagger stick until the poor kids nose bleed like a leaking tap.
A horrible memory imprinted on my mind even some 60 years later.
Bet the kid had hatred imprinted on his mind as well as welts on his butt.
Yeah they were cruel bastards. De la Salle Brothers , nothing Christian about them at all.
What a bunch of vicious pricks. A couple of the younger ones were alright but the older ones were shrunken and twisted. Their methods were 100 years out of date.
I reckon that CBC was a anti-Catholic factory. I would say more atheists (me) came out of there than true believers. The hypocrisy was blatant and daily.
Any guy who had the spirit to stand up to them was just expelled - end of story. Weak as piss I reckon.
Cadets was great for new experiences and the sport OK but the rest was just tolerated.
I was at Pucka for a week. Wasn't there a mound nearby used for punishment called Nipple Hill?
And I don't remember any hot showers at all. Not that it bothered me, the place was a furnace.
Nothing better than a good Dad Joke.

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Re-arranging the deckchair changes by and large.
I would have thought it was in the club's longer term interests to get as many games into Bytel as possible. Yes, he going to have games where he is down but they need to give him a good go at it.
Can only go on what I read on here but am surprised that Connolly hasn't had a run by now as well and I would even give Joyce a run in the forward line before some others.

Re: Will changes be significant ?
Why not move players around
What’s not working
Kick outs - just because Howard can kick long doesn’t mean he knows which option to pick
Battle - has struggled up forward or on a wing. Either drop him or put him back
2nd forward - with Marshall injured all year we need another one. Battle is not it. Why not try Howard forward and 2nd ruck
King - if he’s not getting it forward and his effort is questionable, throw him in the ruck for a while. Yes he is 20 but he won’t get beat up around the ground, in the centre square maybe. If there is questionable effort around the ground he needs a rest. We can’t accept pick and choose effort
Hill - he plays on the wing or he doesn’t. He can’t defend so shouldn’t play back. Put the acid on him, no free passes
Coffield- lucky to be back, has to show intensity
Clavarino - give him a 3 week block to show something
Connelly - where is he?
Lonie over butler - terrible decision, butler has given us half the output lonie has. His selfless effort in the middle against Geelong deserves more
Bytel - gutless for mine. Gutless because they want a win against north, not a win against a top 8 side.
Club is gunshy and has taken a weak route for mine

Does it matter? Anyone who didn't play last week could not try any less & all that should be expected is effort whilst wearing the jumper.
