Re: Improved?
We need another go to forward. Josh Bruce plays the odd good game or good quarter but hes not really the player thats going to finish the hard work up the ground. When he gets the best defender he struggles. I know Battle is playning well down back but we need 3 tallish players forward. I would lije...

Re: Seb Ross had zero tackles last night
Still in our best 5 players and is our best mid at the moment. Would still take anyone in a side that can get it 31 times. He is carrying a big load in the middle at the moment and needs help. See Ted, he is not. That's the problem. Ross and Dunstan play in the middle and get the ball for us. The o...

Re: Rozee and Bailey Smith
They are both good players but we need a key position forward and we hope Max King will be the superstar we need. Im happy with the choice. Not so sure about last years top 10 picks? Could we have done better or aren't we developing them properly?

Drafting and Player Development
I think we have improved our effort, pressure and gameplan this season. Our big issue is we overate our players and list. Our drafting has been poor and player Development worse. We have changed our recruiting team which is a tick but I would like to know how our player Development has improved. Cla...

Re: So... Richo on talking footy
Richo has gone ok this year so far. I think he was forced into changing his coaching staff and stupid gameplan from last year (thank goodness). He has been saying and doing the right things. I hope it keeps going and the team stays competitive and keeps winning.

Re: Changes v Crows
The Crows might be a bit like Melbourne last week. The Swans are struggling and all the talk was Dees are back after beating them. I think the Dees thought the same. Crows are in a similar position all the talk will be Crows are back. Its a 50/50 game Saints are playing great footy. Bring it on.

I felt in the JLT we were hunting the opposition, our pressure and intesity was up. Last week team selection and the way we played was just like last year. Maybe its because we played GC and were expected to win. This week we are underdogs I hope we come out firing and take the game on. It will be a...

Re: Coach's Call.
Coffield and Clark would be playing and further developed at teams like the hawks or Cats, maybe its because there leaders and senior players are better? Im not sure if Savage and Dunstan will get any better than what they are, these two kids are top 10 picks and should be in the team to develope to...

Re: Changes for bombers
I know Kent didnt have a great day. But his kick to Gresh for a goal and his goal in the last quarter were very special, we dont have many players in the team that could make things like that happen. He camt be dropped this week he will only get better. And Marshall just has to come in.

Re: 3rd Tall
It was quite obvious that we needed a 3rd Tall, Marshall is the perfect player I was so surprised when he was left out. Bruce would have been able to stay forward, Marshall would have been a great backup ruck and caused the GC defence to restructure because of his height. I have no confidence he wil...

Re: The Conundrum of the Hannebery Trade
I don't mind bringing him and I'm sure we wont use our first pick. I think the Swans need CAP space. Even though he was well below his best this year I believe having a proven player, AA & Premiership player on the list will help show our young guys the way to go about it. Our 22 yrs and under p...

Re: Richo v Armo
Armo even with his body failing has been much better than most of the other players. He creates, tackles and puts pressure on. Richo is just trying to save his arse and blame everyone around him.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dons Round 21 2018
After the bombers hit the front in the 2nd quarter we had 17 tackles for the rest of the game 12 players with no tackles. Thats a really bad stat mentioned on the couch tonight.

Re: Saints stand by Richo
The players started well but lost control later when they were executing the plan well. Many weren't responsive to what was required. First bite at that should have come from Leadership on the ground. With a few goals kicked against the team the coach then must act to change up the process or a blo...

Re: Saints stand by Richo
The Coach must be accountable for the Team performance for the whole season, yes the leaders should stand up during games but the leadership group has to be selected to deliver what the Team and coach needs on the field. Allan Richardson's greatest failure is that he believed he had a list of player...

Geary, Ross, Gilbert, Weller, Newnes = 5 players that need to be transitioned out of the team not praised every week so kids can improve. The excellent work of the best players and others was ruined by these 5. bad example for the developing players.

Re: Saints will bounce back into the middle six pack in 2019
We really need a ruckman. Hickey is better than Longer however compared to other Ruckman they are both at the bottom end. Develop Marshall, try Peirce and look for another option as well. Our mids arent great but having a decent ruckman will help the mids.

Re: anyone who says it is not poor coaching needs to explain why
The only thing I can say in defence of Richo is that we know the list isn’t good enough and it needs more overhaul and desperately needs more firepower You are spot on but the worry is that Richo thought we had a TOP 4 list? He keeps praising Gilbert, Geary, Newnes, Weller and keeps playing Savage....

Re: Longer
Billy actually played a good game, he matched it with Witts. I still prefer Hickey in the team. I think Gawn will be best on ground when we play either way, if its Hickey or Longer.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 13 2018
Richo has gone back to his one pace mids. Dunstan, Ross, Steele and Armo. We cant break away when we get the ball and hack it forward. And now Longer is in the side. Richo must try a diffrent mix. Stubborn or Stupid or both.
