His ferocity, his fitness and his courage is enormous. We need more players hunting the footy and winning clearance like Windy. Loves the heat and loves pressure. His ability to find the ball is elite. Just needs to work on his disposal and trying to get on the run sometimes instead of kicking the f...

Yes

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...

Didn’t he have 2 All Australian players and an AA squad ruckman in the midfield yesterday?! 😂 is that best u got?? He had an AA HBF he’s desperately had to put in the middle cause he has no one ..so midfield all fixed ? Brain dead No hope I will desist from responding further as it denigrates the f...

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...

McCartin got concussion prior to getting drafted and he had problems with recovery which he and his own doctor claimed was due to his type 1 diabetes. 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...

I was wrrrrr.....wrrrrrrrr Wrong on Marshall.

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...

When you can't say anything nice say nothing at all! Best If I stay mute. Doesn't matter to the apologists Doesn't matter what you say. They'll attack any one who doesn't believe in the messiah coach Doesn't matter how accurate or true the criticism...all criticism is unwarranted, unjustified and j...

Our results warrant criticism This sort of spotlight on players and game plan and coaching is actually a good thing The coaches need to be accountable. It's as simple as that. Take responsibility and get the morale back. And...I'm not talking about going for walks on the beach or Ross telling jokes ...

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...

Sharman did a good job last year on one of those prolific hb flankers if I recall correctly He was specifically asked to play as a defensive forward. 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...

Scallop my only issue with your analysis here is the fact jack has only played a containing role once this season (GWS) he’s generally ran free or been tagged in all other matches. Have you got access to inside info on his role in each game? Nice. I'll be sure to follow all your posts more closely ...

Couple of minutes before the 3/4 time siren in the Collingwood vs WCE game, Bytel was dishing out a handball while a West Coast player behind him was trying to tackle him. Darling was facing Bytel as he approached and just 'accidentally' whacked Jack Bytel front on. Darling made careless contact wit...

I’m still getting back from Tassie, but from what I hear is that Bytel not great compared to other kids out there Bulldust Played his role and was going well for the time he was on ground. Got bumped a split moment after he handballed the footy. Jack Darling was careless with an elbow/forearm to Ja...

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

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. It's embarrassing for the person who made the comment. Same with the Draper podcast. You can't erase what has already been said. I'm o...

Then he should have put his hand up to stay in Melbourne and Sharman or Caminiti should have played

I think Collard would develop better by playing in the AFL. The standard the Sandy games.....well...you'd get the same benefit to your development playing local footy I think you're right I also think we messed with his head by naming him in Round 1 and then not giving him a proper opportunity in t...

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. His 2022 stats versus 2023 are virtually identical https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?play...
