Re: Philipou’s Manager
So are clearances that are blind hack bomb it forward kicks to no one Marshall is elite around the ground as a general play tall .... as a ruck in a ruck contest not so much If he is going to continue to grab the ball and hack kick it forward then maybe we need to anticipate this better ....

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
Sicily's 46 and Martin's 44 possessions off half back was the player's fault too ... it can't be the genius game plan.

I thought Sicily missing would have tipped the scales our way ... but the better-coached/drilled team won.

Re: Hunter Clark
Clark has strong legs. Probably not a good idea for him to put on upper-body bulk (he doesn't have speed to burn, as it is, to be fair) - anyway, he doesn't need to (bulk up) given his evasive skills and footy smarts. He will be very handy when he returns. No doubt. Overdue for a change of luck. Imp...

Re: King ...out of form or
Billings is not a midfielder. Was never considered one. We have tended to draft the best tall forward in the draft, or worse stll, even a half forward flanker (Billings was not even a key position forward) and have been happy to overlook obvious midfield talent to get one .... Petracca, Rozee, Butte...

Re: King ...out of form or
The thing is a skinny, lanky key position forward or ruckman, etc... takes years to develop/reach their peak, and might eventually get there ... but it is never a given. Whereas a Rozee, Butterrs , Darcy Wilson etc.. are ready to hit the ground running from the word go.

Port Adelaide nailed the 2018 draft. They took Connor Rozee at pick 5 and Zac Butters with pick 12 Both have been All Australian and Rozee Is Port Adelaide's captain. St Kilda took Max King at pick 4 and Gold Coast Ben King at pick 6. St Kilda did not learn from the 2014 draft chasing after the all...

Re: King ...out of form or
King is not a natural forward. He averages a contested mark or two a game ... but that's all he wants to do, contest. A Dixon, Hawkins or Tex Walker can probably get away with that (contesting mostly) with their builds. Sure, he will kick a bag of 3 or 4 once or twice a year (well, Wilson did this w...

Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season
If we swapped Membrey with Dixon and their midfield with ours, we would have won by 10 goals. We need a decent midfield and a hulking, one-grab forward. We're probably only 4 star/high-impact players away from a premiership. We are/look "boring" because of that (probably not the game plan ...

Re: Aberration or reality check or both?
Anyway, when we get everyone fit and back, we will do okay.
Liam Henry was a big loss.
If Bonner and Stocker are considered bottom 6, we're not doing too badly.
