If Lonie was 5cm taller and 5kg heavier he would be an absolute gun.
Maybe if he had a right foot and stopped staging for free kicks, maybe then you’d have an argument

Your off your tree if you think hanners shouldnt be out there
I think you’re off your tree if you think he should be playing. He cannot run properly and has hardly had a touch
Lacks match fitness but there's no second tier comp for him to play in . Clearly in our best 22....you play him simple as that
Disagree entirely. Such an important game you don’t play someone who is not ready. We are already one down with Geary in the team. Now it’s 2 down with Hannebery and if you include Kent it’s 3. So it’s a huge and massive NO from me

I’d love King to nail 4 in the 2nd. Half but some people should realise Plugger wasn’t Plugger till he was The Plugger. It takes time.

Unbelievable how the Marshall free kick went the other way. It was either a free kick for holding to Marshall or pay the mark to Battle
Thanks Curly. Thought the umpires were OK to that point, but this was a blatant rip-off.

The next 2 goals are important.

Need a few guys to lift.

Is he injured or just shockingly out of form?

10 points up and I still feel like we need a big lift if we're going to win.

Come on Saints.

Stats are a bit deceptive on this one.

They show GWS with a possession dominance, but really about fifty of their touches are dinky handballs and chips.
Clearances are pretty close.

Difference is we have kicked 5.5 Sure they missed some doozies, but King should have two goals up as well.

We are good enough. Need to stop them getting so many easy looks though. The whole field pressure in the middle part of the second quarter slowed them right down. Keep it up and we win.

Hopefully Curly will be delighted with the umpiring performance tonight for once just like me. They've been..... outstanding.

That pressure is shutting them down across half back.
