The sooner Hill goes the better. He is probably one of the most experienced players we have and probably the highest paid. He can't kick anymore. He gets tackled way too often and it is always holding the ball.

Carn the Saints!!!!!!!!!!

Seems pretty close to the mark. It also tells me that we don't have that many out anymore that would normally play.

I always think a player coming from another team always plays well against that team. Strange decision to leave Stocker out against the Blues.

I reckon other parts of his game - vision, creativity and generally good skills and delivery - offer a point of difference. Thought the midfield struggled badly when he went down for a few weeks. I hope he stays. Good player. I tend to agree. He wants to make his possessions count rather than count...

Phillipou, Cordy, Owens,( all selected) and arguably King, Membrey, Holmes( returning from injury)

We've had the wood on them for all of the 21st century.

Yep, ever since Hamill came to us and their pres, Elliot, said we were crap and why would he go to the Saints.

You'd think King is straight in but he's named on the extended bench while Hill is straight in. King mustn't be ready yet. Membrey and Hayes are no where near it.

FoxFooty On the Couch had a 'form' ladder showing just the last 6 rounds and Carlton sat on top with 6 wins and the highest percentage. GWS were second. If we can limit the supply to their forwards we can beat them. We need to break even in clearances and contested footy If Steele, Crouch, Owens, C...

Cooper absolutely needs to hone his skill set to continue being picked. He has great potential (no doubt), and he is currently in the fringe selections where he could find himself out of the team on matchups, form, or availability. If Membrey comes good, I think he takes his spot. It's a tough deci...

Thanks Nick. I knew it was down but I went to start the match thread on Sunday anyway...lol.

Some of that was funny (I think you should put a warning of how long the read is - like a 10 minute read - or all day if you look at the videos).

The only players out yesterday that would benefit us are King and probably Membrey. Yes, our two best forwards. I read on here they were worth 4 goals a game between them last year. And of course Hill (when he can kick to one of our players). But really, who else have we got (if all were fit) that w...

Can anyone at the game confirm?

- Wet seats
- Slippery and poor ground conditions

The roof was open when their was drizzle for about 2 hours around lunch time. Drizzle doesn't show up on the rain radar I have been told by the BOM.

Just trying to read this thread and all I see are double and triple posts. What's going on?

Carn the Saints!!!!!!!!!

I remember a game where we lost to the bulldogs when we were 6 goals up, and Max Haughton crying, that seems similar to todays game. Hopefully their as flat as a tack next week.

I got no walking things back from that all What I got was an honest appraisal that if we don’t stop stumbling and fumbling we won’t and don’t deserve to play finals I also got ownership from the senior coach that the narrative around the saints has been directly impacted by his messaging He owns th...

Apparently Butler managed?

So Peris out and Butler managed. Who brings the manic forward pressure? Certainly not Higgins (always looks unfit to me).

Sinclair to the middle only in break-glass emergency times.

Owens went in there for a few bounces in a row and didn't touch it.

I don't know what we're going to do with the midfield.

What's happened to Hill? His kicking (and handballing) have been crap lately as has Sinclair's (to an extent).

11 scoring shots against a side that was 14th lol Well….welcome to the bottom 4 for the next 10 years. Deserve to be kicked out of the comp (and would be if the AFL didn’t prop them up since they can’t get their affairs in order). You sound annoyed Broken record year after year.
