Their bodies were perfectly fine in under-19s because they weren't playing against bulky hardened men.

They're not suited to AFL at all

It's an interesting point.

Plugger was a KFC-eating colossus.

Would he be suited for the modern game?

Nursing injury-prone marquee players is a drag.

Can't blame King himself but our great white hope is looking a little dubious.

His brother also isn't living up to the hype.

Very depressing.

Hunter Clark? Mattaes Phillipou?

Other teams learned to minimise Wikie's influence on games.

Why can't we do similar?

A worthy bearer of the sacred 7 guernsey.

18th for Scoring Shots Inside 50 is a shocking indictment on our forward line and/or the delivery into the Inside 50.

A new challenge every week.

Cotchin's 300th.

WCE redemption game.

Not to mention the self-inflicted Male Depression Game.

And now it's Melbourne who've been flayed by the media.

Now that the Danny Frawley Centre is up and running there's surely no need for Male Depression Round. It's a downer. In 2021 we'd one the first round when we played it and lost. The first half of our season was a disaster. In 2022 we were 8-4 when we played it and lost badly to Essendon. The second ...

Surely related to his failure to man up or chase Taranto when Taranto kicked the match-winning goal. Was highlighted by Kane Cornes and demanded some sort of response.

Sicily wasn't there to kick it to.

We were a better side than Melbourne in 2020. They won the flag the following year. We were a better side than Collingwood in 2021. Look at them now. Not sure I buy the old mantra "we can't do much with this list". In fact, we WERE doing great things with an injury-riddled list only a coup...

Snapped a good goal and should have been groomed all along as a Milne-like forward pocket.

Either through personal ambition or club overestimation he's been played as a midfielder with dubious results.

I was hoping RTB would turn him into a premier crumber.

If the rezzies are good enough for Windhager (for approx ten weeks) and Bytel (practically permanently) then they're good enough for Phillipou and Caminiti.

Wow.

Feel incredibly foolish for thinking they'd show up to play tonight.

Harsh, even offensive, but I don't disagree that the Male Depression/Kumbayai Game has been a demonstrable disaster for us.

Caminiti completeky out of his depth for months now.

The annual More ImportantThings in Life than Football Game.

Overall, I thought he had some interesting insights but was a bit wishy washy about the teams patchy and up and down form. When asked about the W L W L pattern, he actually said he couldn’t remember who we played last week and doesn’t look back. He didn’t give us anything at all. Does that a lot. C...

Saying something incendiary about Luke Ball "which is an open secret" and then, as proof, linking to an article about Jason Ball is not Saintsaiional's greatest moment.

Funniest, saddest or most actionable, maybe.

Damning footage on the Sunday Footy Show of Seb Ross standing around watching as his opponent Taranto breaks free and waltzes towards goal.

Any consequences for this?

Being outcoached by McQualter would have to sting. But RTB isn't renowned for his flexibility. On a couple of occasions RTB has claimed that the squad is giving maximum effort. He's effectively patting himself on the back because he coaches effort. So if it's not effort, what accounts for the lapse ...

Good on the Tiges.

Made all the right decisions and cleaned up with three flags.

Meanwhile we dicked around at Seaford with half-arsed draft picks and clueless nice guy coaches.

Hiill getting votes? Gee whiz, that's generous.

Earlier in the week Lewis was adamant Butler would get a week (which he approved) and Sicily would get off.

Which had nothing to do with him being a former Hawthorn player.

I'm the first to say people on here are too sensitive to criticism but that was just daft.

You have to wonder if RTB and SOS really want the Saints to finish too high ...
