What we have is a group that is very young and they need games against VFL squads They will learn the game and they can grow and improve their footy together and build connection. That’s what we need for a successful side. Players that are connected and want success for their team mates Play them al...

I like what you’re saying. I totally agree on the youth thing, but you lost me with your line about your criticism of Jimmy Webster and praise for Ben Paton …

Paton is the better lock down defender.

What did Paton do today that you’re giving him credit for?

And what does that mean? Perhaps if we did not - we wouldn’t be 3-6 We dropped to 15th on the ladder in 2018. We refused to trade out Jack Steven when he was worth something at the end of that year. We brought in a banged up and washed up ex champion in Dan Hannebery. Swans keenly and gladly let go...

Always got some fkn lame excuse to blame losses on someone else but himself I suppose the nuffies in our cheer squad and the fanboys will drink that kool aid Why play favourites Rossy boy? Why play Liam Henry straight back into the seniors when Dow and Clark have to play multiple games at Sandringha...

I don't agree with Paton being preferred over Dow. Paton was ok but I reckon Lyon wants him for a tagging or run with role Hawthorn have a pretty good midfield so not a bad strategy, but we recruitd Dow for our midfield. With Crouch out, we need to see if Dow can improve our clearances. We should b...

He was good last week. Could have possibly been important in the second half for us but Lyon decided to sub him off early Might have been part of the plan to sub him out, but he wasn't killing it before that was he? He wasn't alone in that respect The fact remains that we had half a dozen players to...

But the thing is... you have to coach that out of him.
Lift your game Max or you're playing VFL son

A good coach will get the best out of the talent he has. Either you motivate him and get him to perform or ship him off

Let's see what the magician can do with that wand

Hayes was awful Membrey contributed a lot more than Jack Hayes It's not Membrey's fault we lost the match and I doubt very much whether it would have made much difference whoever was subbed off. Hill had 1 disposal in the last quarter. 1 touch only for Liam Henry in the 3rd quarter and 1 touch only ...

And kicked truly

But King fumbled it as he fumbled and double grabbed at a few other non marks today

My old girl commented on his body language before the first siren....and ...

SHE DOESN'T EVEN READ SAINTSATIONAL

The pies were obviously having a run of poor form after winning the flag ... with a reduced pre-season following their extended flag-winning season, Teflon. How do you on the other hand explain the hot and cold form of our players? Our players were obviously good enough to beat the pies! You can't ...

So Ross has failed with this team Teflon? He is going to rebuild now?! lol We surprised opposition for the first 5 rounds and snuck into the 8 since then have won 9 out of the last 27 Not the genius you lead us to believe And remember, when Ratten was coach - it was all about the coach?! Its still ...

You weak insipid **** pricks Give sides 5 goals head start you get what you deserve I don’t give a **** about honourable losses That was as gutless , weak, dumb football as you’ll ever see Gotta clean this place out Seb, Membrey, **** passengers - gone Draft pick time we are wasting our time and $ ...

Ugly football again. Just imagine if we'd won. There'd be people posting that a win is a win. Positives...etc

The really funny thing is that no matter what the result, Teflon would be still telling us it was great coaching.

Actually... it's not funny... it's tragic.

Genuine effort. We could have won but we didn't That's your ultimate in tanking today Thanks Ross Lyon and selection committee for playing Ben Paton instead of Paddy Dow Not saying Ben is hopeless, but game was nearly all over by the time he came on. Dow would have made a difference in the middle fr...

Good finish to the quarter. Kicking improved. We won clearance in the last 10 minutes

Henry a bit rusty

I don't mind it if Hastie and Garcia make mistakes ... they're teenagers but Ross and Marshall ...33% disposal efficiency

It's up to our senior players to get us over the line

Well done Riley Bonner

Dribble kick instead of kicking the footy over the defenders head

We got a lucky bounce

Need to match them for contested footy and clearances

Haven’t most countries been invaded at some point or another? It was inevitable The truth is we weren’t (237 years ago) advanced enough to defend ourselves And the country was colonised by the British If it weren’t the britons it would have been another country Now that’s a different topic altogeth...

Never read the Herald Sun, my views are totally the opposite of Andrew Bolt. However, I will obviously not get the answers to Yorkey's questions on here, so I will have to go and consult Auntie Fay. It's great if you have direct access to someone like Auntie Fay, but.. ..it's not hard to educate yo...

It’s all token bulls***. End of story. Without cOloNiaLIsm you wouldn’t have a house, a job or a decent life. They had a decent life you moron.

I wonder who Jack would have replaced in our team that beat Collingwood earlier this year.

Good point. We didn't have too many weak cogs on that night.

Bytel to make debut for Collingwood He will do well there. He has a point to prove and will show us up as poor judges of talent. We develop talent poorly. Just when he was showing good signs we made him the sub 3 weeks in a row. Steele does a collarbone and there was no like for like replacement. W...
