if he is struggling in a struggling club why would we want him? serious question

not sure when it became the rule but grabbing possession and then letting go when tackled, either play on or holding the man. since when has this been ok? thought if you grab ball and let go it is either "incorrect disposal" or "dropping the ball" to many things going on in the c...

I was really disappointed that both were overturned. As far as I’m concerned If all umpires being (Boundary, Field and Goal) are happy it’s a goal and the opposition aren’t trying to call for touched the goal should stand. I thought the point of the review after each goal was to ensure they haven’t ...

Embarrassing pathetic and lazy is all you can report for the saints this game at this stage. Disposals.... poor... defensive running..... non existent... forward line failing mccartin def not ready for afl. Even if he kicks 10 last quarter goals. Bruce may not be kicking them but provides a 50-50 co...

If he goes for a one motion tackle after should just drop the tackle and make it touch footy.... had less in it then mummy's last week. Especially seeing as he got the free FFS

Any one still think hickey was the right choice this game?

Had to go longer. Hickey had 4 attempts to show he is off pace this year both around ground and in ruck. Longer should get the same especially against the monster rucks IE Mumford

5 - Roo. Big game all round. No matter where he played he exposed the lions 4 - Joey. Did enough early but putting him in the midfield ended up being the difference, a cool experienced head 3- Brown. Cops a massive knock but lets be honest, he is showing us more and more that he is that defender we ...

hawthorn just want to try set a new record. first team to make the 8 from 0-8. in seriousness though they are a team that in the last 10 years it has just kind of come together. Right now they arent that team and are yet to realise that they need to work that little bit harder to win the games. know...

in Fagan's words The coach had no issue with St Kilda veteran Leigh Montagna's decision to run a few seconds off the clock in the last quarter when he held on to the ball in the goalsquare, instead of kicking it immediately. "Joey's been a humble champion for a long time and I wouldn't have tho...

Do you think he will be in any trouble with this?

Even a fine would be harsh. 0 impact. however nothing suprises me anymore with the afl

I thought it was terribly unsportsmanlike. He ought to be ashamed and the club should fine him. Arrogance and disrespect for the opposition should never be tolerated. Without getting too far off track and into very dodgy territory, I think there should be some kind of moral standard and that falls ...

i think it was a really smart move
didnt rub it in. Gave the boys a slight rest, killed brisbanes confidence and killed 10 seconds
if he was waving it around its one thing, making a joke of it taunting them etc. Just the move of a smart experienced footballer

We were not expecting to win this game so not that important. We are honestly going to be on the end a massive hiding simply because west coast is better. A lot better, Josh Kennedy is a gun that will kick a tonne unless Carlisle gets rid of the ring rust in a hurry. Mitchell has found a new gear a...

Only real positives to come out of that game is we can't do much worse and only lost by 30 points. Our forward line didn't fire 2ND game in a row. Midfield blown away. Back line did OK considering the delivery and lack of midfield pressure.. This week I wouldn't make massive changes. Maybe the week ...

this is not happy reading

how far behind are we ?

We may as well be 100 points down effort no existent

Be patient with this joke of an effort there's still time. 42 points with 0 effort if your wondering

If 15 minutes of football is all this team can manage why the heck am I paying to be able to watch this? If we can't match a top 8 rival at home we've gone backwards over the preseason not forward. Next week wce over here should we expect another 100 point Joke for the 3rd year in a row? Show some f...

I wouldn't look to far into Members form or Bruce'S last night. Neither team went In expecting both the contest or the weather they were in for. Which was evident at the start. They started harder we went up a gear then they went up etc..... The 2 highest paid forwards in the comp kicked 3 between t...

the 3rd quarter broke my heart. not as a saints supporter but as a supporter of the game itself. Year after year i watch just about every single game(not just saints), i watch decisions not just to influence the way the game goes but to influence how many people are interested in the sport(go to SUB...

if we went with bomber over richo i think thatd be it for me, we have a rich history of doing it but I am sick and tired of chopping and changing. Keep doing that you look like melbourne/Carlton and create a history like ours You stick with your coach for minimum 3-4 years then judging results start...

id rather lose this game then next weeks. preference would be win both however everytime i think finals, i come back to the game against the gold coast. It shows mentally we are fragile. This talk of finals scares me and i hope they arent even considering it yet in the club as i feel if they are thi...

Admittedly our % is crap but the way North are going they may not win another game this year. Imagine if we made it? That would be a great experience for the young guys. That was my mentality after beating geelong going into the Bye. Come back lose to gold coast. Win that game we would be 1 game ou...

i feel he loses his awareness in the plays at times. People call it courage however needs to be more aware of whats around.. i know easier said then done however goes to a contest in the same way riewoldt does however cops that hit too many times. Another 5-6 games like that almost career over.

Positives of the 1st half.... Its over. We are 37 points down however straighten up a little and lift the work effort by 20% and we will wind that back in a quarter. Our defensive efforts are making gold coast look like a top 4 team. you watch the contests its 4v2 4v1 etc. IE the last 5 minutes of t...

my only complaint so far!!!!!! is wtf does Paddy have to do to get a free kick? every contest his opponent has eyes only for the man and doesnt get it. Including him having to leave the ground with blood rule!!!!
