Re: explain this ......

Billings appears to be too slow for a guy of his size. He was recruited for his kicking skills but doesn't get enough possessions in good spots to impact the game regularly.

Re: Dougal Howard

Ross needs to tell him like he did with Sean Dempster. If your hands are on the ball first mark it dont punch it. Dempster got better when he started marking the ball instead of punching every time.

Re: Jack Bytel

Captain of Calder Cannons and played a few games there with stress fracture in his back as it was nearing draft time. Second to Sam Walsh in possesions the year they both got drafted and was tipped to go top ten if it wasnt for back injury.My son worked at Cannons over that period and rated him as t...

Re: Young guns who can take the next step

Re: McKernan

He's got a great pair of hands and a good kick; he strikes me as a real confidence player so when he's on, he's very good but the gap between his best and his worst is too great. If he can become more consistent, he'll be a more than handy acquisition for us. Welcome to the Saints Shaun! Agree enti...

Re: Are you a man of youru word Eddie

He still can't differentiate between media personality and club president. He's either one or the other. You don't hear any other president getting involved with rules and regulations yet Eddie keeps pushing his own agendas to the detriment of his own club.

Re: Marsh 2 Game thread

I thought Ryder and Marshall gave Grundy a bath. First Ryder clearly out- tapped him( great to see the number of his taps which went to one of our players on the move) then Marshall played him up close in a completely different style. I don’t think Grundy adapted, and got further lost when they cha...

Re: Geary should not be captain in 2020 because he is not in our best 22 (IMHFO).......

Captaincy is based on overall leadership both on and off the field. Nick Maxwell was not a star neither was our own beloved Danny Frawley but they were probably one of the first picked because their attitude and heart. You don't have to be the franchise, best possession getter, Brownlow medallist or...

Re: Seb Ross

The best of Seb Ross could be yet to come. If our midfield /onball combination can build you may find some of the shackles on his game being released and he could find more of the footy in more dangerous positions to impact games. I feel he has been a role player for too long due to lack of skill an...

Re: Team mates rally around Cowboy

Took my now 21 year old to a family day back in 2003 and got him to get Cowboys signature and he was absolutely wrapped to have my young bloke call him out. Absolute great bloke and footballer back when football was football.

Re: Was this our best win ever?

There was a win against North Melbourne at Arden St. in the late 70s, where we were done, and managed a controversial after the siren goal to steal the game. Heart breaking for North fans. One of the very few, if only games I went to at Arden St. It was in that incredible 1978 season. Robert Elliot...

Re: Paddy to be delisted

Paddy was dominant at TAC playing as a stay at home forward where the tac rules did not allow for extra numbers in defence. His size at that level helped him dictate terms but has not been able to adapt to the bigger bodies he is up against now. Good skills but at senior level you can see he goes to...

Re: One View Of Our Trade Haul

I think the best thing to come out of the draft was the aggressive thought process behind targeting the players we drafted and were not bullied. New blood extra depth creates competition. Fantastic result.
