Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

General observations…

King - one instance where the ball went to him and he leapt at it = mark and goal

Howard - looks a heck of a lot better when he is doing defender things rather than looking to perform circus tricks

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

A new experience for me…

My Kayo is 25s behind live play.

Every time a forward takes a mark, I can look at the app to see if they kick it.

Strange way to watch but does a lot to reduce anxiety. I feel like a clairvoyant

I don’t get it. What could you hope to get from Paton late in the game other than for him to come on and possibly blanket a staring Hawk mid.

I’d have had him top 22 or nothing

Re: Moderation Log

I’ve locked the thread - Euro-Yroke Whilst there were semblances of interesting conversation there… it took a dark turn once we got into the justifications/rationalisations/paternalism area. That invoked a very strong response and that’s where the thread was worth stopping following numerous reports.

Hi everyone… I’m going to lock this topic as it’s gotten quite hostile with quite a few questionable posts. Apologies for not acting sooner but it wasn’t one I was keeping an eye on.

Re: Clubs vie for Saint

Really depends on the context. Sometimes a weighted value on a particular way of thinking could be a sign of autism… especially if it’s evident from a young age and prevalent across the lifespan (effect of support/severity) not withstanding. Alternatively, sometimes people suddenly latch on to mecha...

Or you could just not be Grandpa Mike. You know Grandpa Mike. Every family reunion everybody has to cater to his absurd hate of the colour red. No rhyme or reason to it… that’s just his thing.

As an aside, I dont get the obsession with bringing Schoenmaker in every week, is it just the obsession with us getting potential value very late in the draft? Not knowing all the VFL stats, with all the focus on how many disposals he is getting I get the vibe he is basically a younger Bonner, all ...

Higgins for all of his flaws is quite an effective and pretty consistent small forward. If he could straighten up his goal kicking to always mail the gimmies, he’d be elite

Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..

I have been bullish on Byrnes since his strong start to last year but IMO his game has too many deficiencies. He’s an extreme runner that can’t win a lot of ball… so whilst it’s great he gets to contests… he tends not to do a whole lot there. Given that he’s not lightning fast… he’s the type of play...
