After the leg break he has always looked a little tentative and didn't throw his body into the fray as he did before. Unfortunately, not the same player post injury.
Good luck to him but I can't see him being any more than injury cover up in Sydney.

He is a kid there is absolutely no excuse to look like a 70s porn star.
The moustache has to go, he looks like Ned Flanders.

I heard from an ITK that we have listed him today under father and son protocols. Alix is actually the son of Jeff Sarau - changed his name by deed poll to a combo of letters that were in line with his belief in numerology. His mum is Swedish and she hooked up with Pup at the Saints Disco. More to ...

While I agree that if you want challenge you have to beat anyone, anywhere and anytime and as such the draw should be irrelevant. However, we are in a position where the club has openly stated that they will be chasing big names next year. If we start by winning 3 out of the first 10, for example, w...

I think 12 is optimistic to be honest, but I hope I am wrong.
We could conceivably have only 2 or 3 wins by round 10.
If we don't make the finals at least we can kiss any chance of a big fish free agent goodbye.

We get the sharp end of the fixture pineapple again. Not really surprising the AFL wanted to slap Bassett and basically tell him to keep his mouth shut. Once Perryman moved the option of giving us nothing for Battle was off the table so the fixture was the best way of doing it. We have to remember o...

People saying he is an improvement on Hotton are missing the point entirely. Hotton was not in our best 22 and subsequently was delisted. For this to be worthwhile he has to be better than someone who is in our best 22 and I simply cannot see who he would be better than. We are full of average footb...

How many other Ex-Carlton players can we recruit. There must be some more floating around. We are a team screaming for A grade talent and we bring in another bog average Carlton reject to go along with Dow and Stocker. We do not have a shortage of average midfielders, particularly ones we can't get ...

Is he better than Ross or Crouch? He was but whether he still is is yet to be determined. He cost virtually nothing so that is a positive. The idea that he was pushed out of the midfield at the Dogs because of their amazing midfield depth is somewhat countered by the fact that they brought in the ve...

Diddy's parties were private functions to.
Until we know what actually happened nobody can say whether the reaction is excessive or reasonable.
Remember a private function that has staff involved is not as private as many would like.

I understand what the dual narrative is however I don't understand how it will be successful for St Kilda. We are not Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood or one of the other desirable destinations who can target the players they want and get them to support that approach. We are also not Sydney or Brisban...

McCrae is committed to having one last roll of the dice before he goes into full rebuild mode. It looks like he has decided that he won't be mired in the middle of the pack and that brining in Membrey may give his forward line a lift. It is good for Collingwood that they seem to have committed to a ...

Hayes has a much chance getting on the field.
No point brining in an injury insurance player that is permanently injured.

Kennedy gives us nothing we don't already have. He is a B to C grade midfielder we lack A graders not average midfielders. I think bringing in Matthew Kennedy is a backward step and a real Moneyball selection which is exactly what we don't need. I personally don't think we should be chasing Macrae e...

We are nowhere near a flag. I would be surprised if we make the 8 next year. I think a number of wins towards the end of the year of which only two, Geelong and Essendon, you would say were particularly good performances, has clouded a few peoples vision. We are truly a mired in mediocrity side, des...

Remember, every single person who confuses correlation with causation ends up dying.

Brisbane's midfield absolutely rogered the Swans. That combined with when they had the ball the Swans blazing away without looking up was where the game was lost. The Swans ball movement was atrocious all game constantly just bombing the ball into the forward 50 and missing targets. Amartya and McDo...

Let's not hang our hats on a guy that has had two good games in three years and will be 29 at the start of next season.

If it was or the other I would go Saddam's as he would cost virtually nothing. Where as Port are going to want to recoup some of their losses on Soldo. I don't really want either I would have preferred to keep Campbell as backup ruck. It seems though that Ross has a plan to play both Soldo and Roma ...

People really do over state Hayes ability. He has played 8 games of which one was great, one was average to good and the others he was basically invisible. Reading what people are writing you would swear he was a star that has played at a high level for years. Not wholly surprising I suppose, before...

What I find interesting Luke Ball was forced out by Lyon (had a low ball contract offer) and was bent over in his last two seasons. I thought he should’ve stuck the middle finger up at us! He was seen as Public Enemy number one Battle has jumped ship, required player, huge contract offer, no geogra...

If we don't get band one then so be it, it is not the end of the world or a catastrophe or a disaster. Supposedly, band one is for players in the top 5% of players in the league, he is nowhere near that level. If Hawthorn had to trade for him we would not have got a pick in the top ten, he is not wo...

So apparently according to some Marshall doesn't play as well with another ruck in the side. How did the team go with Ryder? The team went OK. Ryder and Marshall were OK as a combination. However, Marshall has been vastly improved since becoming the number one ruck so switching him back to a forwar...

Our 85 point loss to Brisbane says we are not close. So what does Sydney's 112 point loss to Port say? That Port are the most schizophrenic team in the competition. I must admit I agree with Otiman, are not close to a flag with the current list. Unfortunately, adding a 30 year-old Macrae and Ivan S...

Roma is a first ruck not a forward, he is at his best around the ground. We played him as a second ruck and primary forward when we had Ryder as first ruck. Roma was ineffective as a full time forward/relief ruck but Ryder made up for the short falls so as a combination it worked. As a tap Ruckman S...
