Spot on - great post - that is what RL did with Riewoldt and Pavlich.

Although he always played Gehrig at FF.

I like Sharman playing as our main forward marking option. Good mark, great kick.


Your friendly neighbourhood samurai.

King must play up the ground. He can run back and damage his opponent with his speed.

The only time King should be in the goalsquare is if someone else is having a shot.

The biggest concern for me is how far in front will the struggling Demons be at the final siren.


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

Ruck and clearance

Gawn and Grundy to a strong midfield vs our weakness - clearance

Grundy plays a lot like Marshall, so should break even.

Gawn's knack of dropping 1 kick back or 1 kick forward of the contest is a worry.

Here's a good article from the past, excuse the ex coach giving quotes.

The Brisbane/WC result shows that we didn't play WC into form last week, just sunk to their level. Another Mulligan tonight.

West Coast gave everything they could last week and this week they had nothing left in the tank. They are the most unfit team in the league. They were moving like treacle today. No wonder their fitness guy got the chop a few weeks ago

Well I was hoping to see West Coast really push Brisbane today and push them to the limit (under 100 points loss)

So more than happy that we stand in good stead for our game with the Top 8a sick child Melbourne


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!
