Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints
Nasiah , when he gets going and sells candy 3 or 4 times in a row is good to watch 😎 Liam Henry can light things up and I think he's due for a big game soon. His match fitness will now be at a stage where it was before he did his hammy. I think with Clark and Crouch coming in to the side this week, ...

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints
Off topic, but a great read on concussion and technology used to measure the forces involved when there's head knocks It discusses the Battle/Fyfe collision along with other incidents involving Saints players https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/hi-tech-mouthguards-in-fight-to-tackle-concussion-and-i...

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints
But who is the toughest player in the backline capable of putting the wind up him? Hard-nut Howard? Stocker or Battle are our strongest and most suited. I remember years ago when Josh smashed into Fyfe. Took him out of the game. That was allowed back then. No MRO citing, no suspension https://www.p...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Of course it's not Ross' job to develop apprentice or specialist coaches, is it. And by the way, be cautious of cause and effect linkages. E.G. do great teams inherently contain chaps that are natural coaches and pursue or ....... Will Fly be credited if Pendlebury becomes a good coach. If it's onl...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Moods brings up a good point about succession and mentoring We know that in the last 20 years Clarkson has been the most successful coach (with 4 flags), but his assistants who came through under his tutelage, have also won premierships (5 flags!!) Simpson, Beveridge and Hardwick x3. Leigh Matthews,...

Re: Salem yet another
Teflon is pointing the finger at one of the few players who can hold their head high... Makes no sense, but is understandable when you consider that he's looking for someone to blame... anyone really... anyone except the senior coach Steele has been close to best on ground in 7 or 8 games this year....

Re: Why the young list disconnection ?
Exploration should mean we take risks to be creative. Did you know our fans booed Bonner recently, how farged is that, no wonder our players have gone into their shells. Who would boo their own fans. They love a good scapegoat. It's usually the guy who just joined the club from another team...takes...

Re: Why the young list disconnection ?
You can't celebrate goals too much on game day if your coach highlights defensive actions and structures during the reviews every week. 'Release the shackles' should be interpreted as drop the negative brand of football Exploration should mean we take risks to be creative. Don't try cute kicks for t...

Zero leadership. I hope Lyon had a chat with Steele about his poor attitude, especially not giving chase. We still don't have any players who stand up when. team is taking the game away from us, least of all Steele. His goal celebration lacked more emotion than a Max King goal celebration. He gets ...
