Re: for the posters without the rose colored glasses.
Apparently, Richo let the players coach themselves today - reading between the lines in the Age> Sounds good - let's do more of it. It was a hugely exciting turn around after the past few lacklustre performances. I was wondering how come our best clearance players repeatedly took the ball out of the...

Re: 25 years SInce Winmar's Statement at Vic Park
A must for the Hall of Fame. One of the best players of all time IMO - saw him tear Ablett apart a couple of times. He ripped through everyone at Victoria Park that day. Totally underrated! Should never have been let go - and sadly, we never cared enough - in 97! We could use a Nicky in the side thi...

Re: Match stats v Geelong
Leave Con alone - he is aggrieved after yet another pathetic performance, totally justified. We need stats on turnovers, on kicking to 1 vs 3s, on handballing to people is worse positions, on atrocious kicking everywhere, On desire and passion and on why no player seems to care. On the times there w...

Endeavour from the midfield shown but 22 inside 50s count for didley squat if you can't take a mark or kick a goal - and that's everyone!

Re: Why does it always have to end in a thrashing?
I personally believe that a really great coach - like a Leigh Matthews - would know how to draw players to his vision, have them play to his style, fight for every point of percentage and have a strategy forward and back to make the correct decisions. He would be firm when a player shows no fiercene...

Re: Billings
Billings is currently a borderline B grader - like B- He may get better with some help, advice and time. Dal Santo even took time. The problem is that leadership in the team and coaching panel appears to be completely absent - it is so hard to watch them fail. Delivery to the forwards is as bad as t...

Re: Are you still angry ?
Everything since three quarter time in the 1971 GF has been a bad dream. :D :D :D :D .LOL I can relate to that. Actually it was just before TQT. We were up by 28 and they clawed one back to give them a chance. What a shocking sliding door 40 minute period that was. The truth of the matter of the 71...

Yes! For 71,97,2009,2010 and ALL the years we showed potential and got to finals ... but now because EVEN IN THE MID-EIGHTIES and 90s WE HAD PLAYERS WHO OBVIOUSLY CARED, they tried and they fought no matter what! I do not believe these guys do not have the skills required. They need to look inside t...

Re: So what do people want to see happen..?
I want to see desperation, energy, tackling, clearances and running in numbers in midfield. I want to see an attack on a talented opposition so that they then fumble and look uncertain. I want to see constant forward pressure and an attack on goals and turn overs as the opposition try to clear, due ...

Did he try and put trout under the bus again? I’m beginning to think we should cut our losses and give Richo the arse now. I think you might be onto something there.. Agreed! There seems to be NO EVIDENCE that we are going to go anywhere but backwards under Richo. Why not bring in someone with some...

I was a little surprised Billings has kicked 21/34 this year. Even 50/50 ratio and we might be in these finals. Some serious work is needed here, as he is the most inaccurate AFL forward .. all between the eyes apparently. He was a beautiful kick for goal in the juniors Yeah hope he can turn it aro...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 23 2017
29 tackles in a half of wet weather footy just shows how lame we are today. Until the coaches address our pathetic inaccuracy and lake of endeavour in tackles, we are going nowhere but backwards from here, not to mention our complete failure to have a defensive strategy... I blame the senior coach f...
