Re: RTB's Presser
He had enough talent to be on an AFL list, but the red flags meant he should have gone at 4 or 5 or pick 10. Even the great Chris Judd wasn't taken at pick 1 due to a pre-existing health concern. Now that I think of it...it was all set up wasn't? Recruiters from Melbourne and Collingwood knew they d...

Re: RTB's Presser

So here's a guy with pre existing health concerns... which firstly prevented him from training at the required level and... secondly restricted him w...

Re: David King and Whateley analysis of what's gone wrong this year
We obviously have some personnel issues with injuries, but the main issue right now is the playing style. We have to start playing an enjoyable brand so that the players do what comes natural to them. Win the footy. Get first use and share the footy with someone who is on the move. And practice atta...

Re: Philipou’s Manager

Re: Coaches votes Round 9 vs Hawks
He's fully fit so he should be back to what he was doing...if ...as you say 'he's playing much the same role' In 2021 his centre clearances were 2.7 per game and he was equal in total clearance averages to most of the best mids. Easily top 20 in total clearances in 2020 and 2021 in the league. Centr...

Re: More coaches votes

The most obvious change to the team going forward is to put Mich in the guts and play Cooper forward. Or... maybe if our focus shifted a little toward...

Re: Coaches votes Round 9 vs Hawks
In 2021. Cripps and Steele had the exact same centre clearances average per game of 2.7
If you compare Cripps in 2022 (the year he won the Brownlow) with Steele's 2021 year, Cripps just beats him with 3.0 vs 2.7

Re: Philipou’s Manager
CLEARLY some Saintsational posters want to defend coach and club no matter how bad things look on field. Tom Morris isn't the story here. Don't attack the messenger.

FMD Teflon is crediting Ross Lyon with Sinclair's form and Wood's form. Both became elite under the tutelage of Ratten. Sincs 2022 All Australian jacket had nothing to do with Ross the Boss.

Re: wallpaper fallen off - cracks exposed
We’ve been competitive at VFL level now that a few senior players are in that squad. We won last week and nearly pulled off a win today. That builds good culture. The other advantage of having senior players in the VFL is that it helps support our youth as they develop. Having 3-4 youngsters in the ...

Keep playing the kids. Give them a fair go the way Garcia and Hastie have had multiple games in a row…NOT the way we introduced Lance boy to his debut game. The other extreme is playing an 18 year old for each and every game and expecting them to perform like the senior more experienced players. You...

The more useless statistic is Steele because what did he generate with ball in hand (when not tackling)? How many times did Steele control from the contest either kicking forward (including to 6/6/6) or dishing off to the bypass in space? Worms Roxanne worms!! Let’s look at numbers: Steele got 30 t...
