Couldn't agree more. I have been saying this for weeks, we seem to run along side the opposition when they have the ball. I'ts almost as if we are umpiring the game. There seems to be this urgency in getting numbers back into our backline. How about doing what Nathan Burke used to do, go at the player and tackle. If he gets the ball off at least you have tried to negate the player and pressure him.St Chris wrote:The Saints have every spot in the Top 20 covered in this stat.

This acquired skill has taken a long time to master and has far greater effect on the ball carrier.

Disagree with Ferguson. He could make a great leaping forward. Although he didn't take the grabs, he had his hand on every marking contest. I remember when Stewie Loewe first started out he couldn't hold onto his marks for the first year he played.mad saint guy wrote:Don't forget Clarke, Gehrig and Ferguson.borderbarry wrote:M.Gardiner, Birss, King, C.Gardiner.

Really pissweak argument.
C.Gardiner and King were for pick #90. Name the last time the Saints got a player out of 90 +. Already Gardiner and to a less er extent King have done better than anything at pick ninety.
M.Gardiner was in the post season draft (whatever the F*** thats called) so no pick there. Also he has gone OK before the hammy issue.
Schneider and Demptser @ pick 26 may prove a little rich but worth the gamble.
So to say 6 young players is just pure BS.
A bit of research would tell you that
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

schneider has been horrific but we need 2 give hime time. he may not have settled into the club yet or there may be some other reason why he isn;t playing at his best. i cant see schneider just burning out and never being as good as he once was for the swans. be patient and he will prove 2 be the barain that he was in draft week.

It's not about his playing ability, it's about his constant struggle with injuries. Every time he gets a crack at AFL, he performs well for a player of his experience, but undoubtedly gets injured after a few weeks.barkers heros wrote:Disagree with Ferguson.

Body just isn't up to it. X. Clarke not far behind in that area.

Schneider also excels in running up to a team mate who has taken a mark or received a free kick and pointing down field. Whether Schneider is confirming which direction we are kicking,cowboy18 wrote:
Take off the rose-coloured glasses. Terrible post. As for Schneider...
1. He regularly fails to hold the ball over his head to signal our gameplan to those poor souls who occasionally forget it.

Re: Adam Schneider
agree. saints should get cameras installed on their heads cos they make great close up camera men. . they just run a few metres behind the guy with the ball. they get a great view of the play. never mind tackling or trying to actually get the ball - thats for fools!barkers heros wrote:Couldn't agree more.

the occassional arm wave gives the impression there are 2 teams out there and keeps the fans happy.
