Let's Talk About the Elephant In the Room

[bobmurray]

I wonder what quarter the spud will go off injured, i hope that's fantasy but with this dude, who knows. Not one of our best KPF's so far.

He'll get the shock off his life, hopefully, when his rip off management are told what the Saints are willing to offer for his next contract.

I just hope it's not multiple years for a player who is bordering on spud level.

[Vortex]

Has to be dropped.

Is soft and is a bruise free specialist

Always at the back of a pack

[Vortex]

We were one man short

[The Fireman]

We were one man short

Remedied when Sharman came in

[Sainternist]

Max looks completely lost. He’s gotta have a stint at Sandy after today’s incredibly poor performance.

[Saintmatt]

Your man Sharman was pretty handy.

[Devilhead]

Again he doesn't look fit ... always gassed

Needs a massive uninterrupted pre-season

[Teflon]

I sadly think the latter which is why I’m all in on a top 5 draft pick this year and possible trades to bolster that so we can fix this midfield issue once and for all
Failure for us this year is a run on wins….honourable 9/10th finish and out of the elite kids in the draft
MUST take our medicine this year
Land LDU next
Rise.

We'll see. One question though. Do you really think Ross will slam on the handbrake in the unlikely event that we do get a run on? Not sure that is in his nature.

But you seem to know him better than most

Let me roll over and ask him…
I hope so

Well it would be tough for him to suppress a competitive instinct that, to all appearances, runs pretty deep.

For instance, I can’t see him wanting to be outcoached this weekend by triple-premiership upstart Hardwick.

I do fully agree that we need more talent, but can’t quite come around to the idea of bottoming out as the only way forward.

To me, we run the risk of becoming a basket-case club like Norf of the past few years. You lose fans and what free agent in his right mind wants to join a rabble? It’s a long way back from where Norf is. Plus the coach seldom survives the journey. Well, GT did … but that was a rarity.

Anyhow, we do agree that Ross is the right man to set us on the journey, one way or another. Cheers

You either find a way to get to the top of the draft or stay in mediocrity while Tas come in
It’s that simple
We don’t have time and FA agent ain’t saving us
That may mean we make tough choices

Our general lack of experienced talent and star power - rather than any sort of plan to finish bottom four - will get us a high draft pick. I don’t think it’s in Ross’s nature to tank. He’s too competitive for that.

[Yorkeys]

The baby elephant is the lack of discipline and composure our mids and forwards display in tight games. Some moves like kicking to Allir down the line is simply bonkers but we kept at it. There are other examples of course but it reflects badly on the coaching and players IQ.

[Vortex]

We were one man short

Your man Sharman was pretty handy.

In one play he showed the porcelain giraffe how to attack the ball and goal.

Drop King and see if Sharman has what it takes for the remaining rounds....nothing to lose.

Good on ya Vorto

That's the spirit...but...one problem

It's not going to happen because they're invested heavily in King. Cooper will be dropped if he has one game with little impact, where as Max will continue to be backed in
