Re: Chasing Weitering

Scallop With their injury list, who constituted the Hawthorn attack? Noting Hawthorn won the game by only 5 points So that is one game against a lower ranking Club And what happened when we played the Western Bulldogs, a team with variable form The challenging sides do not rely on one KPP sized pla...

Re: Should they come back through the VFL

That suspension to King messed with continuity ...and then the knee injury perhaps messed with his fitness Max definitely needs to work harder and his attack on the ball needs work. He kicked a goal in the last quarter from an easy chest mark (nice pass from Garcia) Our 2 goals in the last quarter w...

Re: Are we going full tilt in 2024????

Ten fn years ago Ahhhhh...hello I wasn't talking about recruitment decisions I was talking about the 'development' of young players right NOW Don't continue playing young guys if they're making the same errors in games or showing bad habits. That includes Wilson, Pou and even Max King who is still ...

Re: Should they come back through the VFL

If the op is implying that Max King may have needed to gain his confidence at VFL level...well... I'm not sure There's a few things to consider. One is the condition of the ground where VFL matches are played. Some are too risky to be trialling your number 1 key Forward. We've invested too much in h...

Re: Should they come back through the VFL

There's a difference between a young bloke and a seasoned campaigner.

Young blokes need a game or 2 in the VFL imo

Take Mason Wood and Liam Henry for example. Both injured in round 2.

One is an experienced senior player who came straight in and performed. The young guy had a stinker

Re: Changes for Freo

Just checked the stats. Sinclair attended 13 centre bounces. That's good imo. He needs to be part of the midfield and the more time he spends in the middle, the better the group getting used to having him there. Owens attended only 3 ctr bounces for the entire match. That's crap! Just start him at c...

Re: Are we going full tilt in 2024????

Saints need to learn how to develop young players. Young players need both time and space to develop. The best develop through both VFL and AFL exposure. Learn, fail, learn adapt and learn again. Players need to make mistakes and have room to fail and learn. Gifting 30+ games in a row and going bac...

Re: Cold Hard Facts

No side plays perfect football The metric is making less unforced errors than your opposition Look at the Adelaide player, probably one of the best kicks for goal across the competition On the three quarter time siren he sprayed a set shot, virtually straight out from goal and just managed a point ...

Re: RTB's Presser

So you're disputing what the coach is doing. You think it's wrong? He clearly gave Sincs the midfielder role. He was in the middle from the opening siren and I watched him go to every stoppage in the first 3-4 minutes. Sincs isn't there to burrow in and win on the inside. I'm sure he puts his head o...
