Re: As much as I loathe them maybe we should throw caution to the wind...
My Mrs is a Collingwood supporter. Her sisters are Collingwood supporters too. Took after their mum who was a passionate footy fan ... Anyhow... I'm in a difficult situation where I have to watch some of the Collingwood press conferences because I also subject her to some of the Saints ones. I usual...

Re: As much as I loathe them maybe we should throw caution to the wind...
I don't think it's simply about players. Last year was a bit of a honeymoon period for Ross Lyon. The new 'game plan' for players and the new messaging from the new coach was important, but so too was the need to impress and preserve your footy career. It doesn't take much for players to lose faith ...

Re: Cold Hard Facts
The cold hard facts are that we have a core of players at the level So Marshall, Wilkie, Sinclair and Hill We have a bunch of kids we have hopes for, starting with King, Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager, Owens, Phillipou and now Wilson So that is 10 players we hope will influence the results of games wi...

Re: Are we going full tilt in 2024????
His 2019 year was his best and I’d rate him in the top 100 players in the AFL for that year alone
His first 2 years… he was ok
His next 2 years were bog average
…and I think that in his last 3 years he was NO good for the St Kilda team

Only way that’ll happen is if Lyon is our next Richo
i.e. next to zero chance

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...

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: Chicken or the Egg
Will Owens be the next to be scapegoated for our failure to step up and win games we should win? You mentioned another couple of youngsters (our 18 yr olds) but let's just focus on Michito Owens is thrown around everywhere and wasted, instead of just playing as a pure mid. Let him settle in a posit...

We started the 3rd quarter with Paton replacing Hayes. The commentators said that was a good attacking mindset from coach. Where's the attacking mindset from the opening bounce?

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...
