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: Philipou’s Manager
Read the Coach opinions on his game for Sandringham? The season before last Phillipou was playing Under 18’s for Woodville West Torrens in the SANFL He did not represent WWT at League level nor Seconds level - so never against players over 18 years of age Then straight into the AFL So there you go ...

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: Chasing Weitering
We have never replaced Carlisle - and that has been to our detriment My view is that you build sides from defence So there is your answer from me Yes, we also need support for Marshall and for King but the question is where are the options across the competition And mids - well, we have started wit...

Re: Chasing Weitering
It's a pipe dream How is getting one good defender going to change our fortunes? We couldn't prize out TDK so what makes them think Weitering will bite? It's also a stupid amount of money and typical of our club looking for short cuts. Every player looking to move and every player manager will be tr...

Re: Changes for Freo

Re: Windhager
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...

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...

Re: RTB's Presser
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...

Re: David King and Whateley analysis of what's gone wrong this year
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...

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.

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 ...
