Re: Team v Roos
Sharman stiff. He would have a field day against the Kangaroos. No Dan Butler, No Jack Higgins and we’re not replacing them with a crumbing forward Are they expecting Hayes, Membrey and King to be clunking everything that comes their way? I suppose they could…it’s North that we’re up against :mrgree...

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
The government has caused financial distress through its inept policies which is putting a lot of pressure on households and causing all sorts of problems for families like domestic violence. But the government wants us to point the finger at other men. Which government? The one led by Albo that's ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Even Gerard Whateley was sympathetic to the Higgins case. What does that tell us!!! There's been inconsistency for over a decade. The MRO and MRP before that, and the tribunal have all confused footy fans and players alike. The AFL has failed to properly adjudicate on head high collisions, or anyth...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Gerard Whateley said if you’re going to tackle someone who is upright then you’re better off letting them get a kick or handball away, rather than tackling them to ground and risking suspension. Have a read of a conversation they had on Fox Sports 2 weeks ago - before the Higgins Aliir incident. Ger...

Re: AFL’s play thing
I can assure you no one is more vocal and proactive to the AFL than Basset. He is a true Sainter so when the supporters feel an injustice has been done, I promise you he is just another disgruntled supporter who actually has a voice to the AFL. And he uses it. But as we all know it’s a fine line. U...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
They're calling it a dangerous tackle due to Jack rotating Allir. So in their eyes it's a sling tackle. Watch Higgins body and arms. Do not fix your eyes on Allir's body or his head slamming the ground Does Jack twist his own body or change direction with the way he brings Aliir to the ground? http...

Re: Owens
We need to find an elite midfielder and we need to find out if Owens is it. Concerns over his tank can be the only explanation why he’s not in the starting midfield. Ross has tried Zak, Stocker, Battle and the younger guys -Garcia, Hastie, Pou, Wilson- but he sticks to his regulars. They have stric...

The AFL is a rigged competition. We know that.
They need change at board level. I say...if you can't beat em...join em
I vote for Sainter_Dad to join the AFL commission and CURLY to be the new Chairman

Re: Higgins Alir incident
I get that people want to discuss Collard and other players who might replace Higgins, but what I don't get is ... Saints supporters accepting the fact that Higgins cops 3 weeks. It wasn't your traditional sling tackle. Higgins DID NOT lift Aliir. He did not sling Allir Every other dangerous tackle ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Payne argued that Jack began to 'rotate' him BEFORE Aliir attempted to kick the football In what fkn universe did Jack rotate Aliir's body?

Re: The Jimmy Situation
I agree. You make a valid point. Makes sense to ease him back for his own sake. We don't want him doing a hammy first game back. He hasn't played at any level for 8 weeks. He was denied any match practice when the club asked if he could play in a practice game for the VFL side a couple of weeks ago ...
