Re: We need some arrogance in our side
Perhaps our team is an example of good guys finishing last. If we get Sam Mitchell as an assistant coach he could inject some of his old on-field attitude into some of the players.

On field arrogance, Plugger was one of the best in this department!!!!!saint64 wrote: ↑Mon 30 Jul 2018 5:07pm Lockett has always shunned the limelight - far from arrogant. Robert Harvey - about as far away from arrogant as you can get. Baldock - nope. Stewart - maybe (?). Barker - flamboyant but not really arrogant. Riewoldt - not particularly arrogant.
We just need good players!
Wasn't talking about off field, that's not even relevant!!!!!
'Cause StoneCold Said So'!!!!!
We will be great again once Billy is back playing!!!!!

Re: We need some arrogance in our side
I didn't rate him either when he was at Saints or probably for the last few years at the Cats, but you rate the performances on their merits. In the last quarter against Melbourne he rucked well even before that last minute when Gawn went off and was also in and under winning the loose ground balls and competed hard at every marking contest. He was an important cog in Geelong's victory against Melbourne.8bloggs wrote: ↑Mon 30 Jul 2018 6:04pmWell....I would not get too hung up about Rhys Stanley's achievements over a couple of weeks. Apparently at the Cattery their fans refer to Stanley as 'Jane'.....why?.... because he ain't Tarzan.Scollop wrote: ↑Mon 30 Jul 2018 4:41pmHave a look at Rhys Stanley's stats the last couple of weeks.

Rhys held his own against Gawn 2 weeks ago and he was one of their best in that match with 21 disposals and 5 inside 50's.
Against Brisbane same. Stanley had 8 clearances against Brisbane and that was same as Dary Ablett Jnr. Had 16 disposals at 100% DE.
He is competing strongly and I am as surprised as most Saints supporters. If...and we know consistency also was a problem for him...if he can continue in that manner he will not only secure the number 1 ruck spot but he will be an important asset to Geelong

Re: We need some arrogance in our side
I agree mate. Arrogant isn't exactly a virtue. Plus, it would it wouldn't be a good look to have arrogance within a team who haven't won any premierships.thejiggingsaint wrote: ↑Mon 30 Jul 2018 5:29pm We need “arrogance” (?!?!)errrrrrrr I’d be happy with “talent” myself.

Re: We need some arrogance in our side
Id be happy with confidence and players consistently beating their opponents. The arrogance can come after we have win a flag.
