Re: Changes for Freo
I keep reading about the slow midfield. It is not leg speed being the issue. Long gone is the forward 45 degree handball. Handballs are backward and sideways. If they ever go forward it is to a stationary player. The only time this ever changes is when we are down by 30 in the last. We open the ball...

Re: We deserve every bit of criticism
We are back to over handballing.
Too many short kicks
If you have a full forward that is as tall as king is. Why do the saints move the ball slower than a sloth on a hot day?
Saints have hit a new low

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF
He needs a change in role as he needs to find the ball again. Half back might give him that opportunity. Needs a run at VFL level. Both to find the ball, get away from the spotlight and settle in his own mind. Learning takes time. Confidence is a strange concept. Takes time to build, seconds to dest...

Re: Hunter Clark
Weights will ultimately strengthen anyone. I can't believe some of the comments on this page. There is inside mids and outside mids. Inside mids need to be strong outside mids need to be fast. Clarke isn't blessed with speed (or much endurance really). Therefore needs to be strong around the ball ot...

Re: King ...out of form or
Saints also very tall in the forward line at the moment. King, Hays, Membrey. arent exactly known for their crumbing ability. Therefore mark the ball or lose it. King is dreadfully out of form. Playing with no confidence at all (ability or body). Looks to want to curl up and cry most of the time. He...

Re: In a way the Hawks will be the ultimate test .
Saints won't go anywhere if they can't beat Hawthorn.
Bottom 6 team.
It shouldn't be a major concern for a team vying for the premiership. Eg StKilda circa 2010 would have a query on their ability to win thus game?
Therefore that is where the Saints are at. A long way off the pace at the moment.

Re: Ins and Outs
Pou needs a break. Haste needs game time. Too much time as a sub will limit his progress. Better playing a full game at Sandy. Garcia has great aggression. Good enthusiasm. Needs time to develop. Part of developing should be 3-4 games in the seniors. Back to vfl to develop. It takes time to develop....

He is 23 and yet to reach his peak. Yes. But he hasn't improved in years. Why would he suddenly get better. Reminds me of kosi. Promises, has odd good games but never really delivers. Doesn't work hard enough. Lacks pressure. Yes Saints midfield move too slowly to him. Less than 50/50 chance of kick...

Re: Mattaes Phillipou

He needs a rest.
Our depth is shallower than a puddle in the desert.
But he needs a spell. Maybe a week off and a run in vfl to find the ball. He has forgotten what it looks like.

Re: Higgins Alir incident
No holding the ball paid if the contest is not bought to the ground.
Therefore tackler needs to bring the opponent to the ground.
They need to change the holding the ball interpretation if they want to change these outcomes.
What if Higgins got concussed? Would Alir be suspended?

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Good. 2 years is right. Fair for all. If he comes good he will get his just deserves on his next contract.
He has shown glimpses of his potential but the jury is still out whether he will be able to become a star of the game.

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Absolute disgrace. But fully expected. Saints have no media bullies therefore get done. The AFL need to change the interpretation of holding the ball. Frees for holding the ball are only paid once the ball is dead. The tackler needs to pull the player to the ground and kill the contest. If the tackl...

Second year drop off
Will come good however will take time. Expectations are high and been given a free pass to date.
Needs a run in the 2s to find the ball.again.
Should wait on the resigning.

If we can get to 7-7 at bye.
We would need to win 6-9 to make finals.
Will need 13 wins realistically to make it to September.

Re: Garcia. Great Debut
Reminded me of an over wound up toy.... seemed to be everywhere.
Great start.
Pou is doing pressure acts as not getting to the ball fast enough. Needs more size to spend long periods in midfield.
