Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade

I don't think anyone is thrilled with where we're at this season. That said the overreaction is extreme. Reality is we're a middle or the road, young side in a competition where if you're off your game by 10% any side can beat any other. Some early season bad luck has led to a lack of confidence. W...

Re: Harley Reagles vs Saints

Waterman, the new version of the G-Train (W-Train) is going to tear us a new one. We need to get into his ear. But who is the toughest player in the backline capable of putting the wind up him? Hard-nut Howard? Hopefully the rain, as forecast, will precipitate down which will help our plodding midf...

Shame the ball never goes there
Howard is the guard space and plod along champion. Wilkie is also copying his sulkiness. This spitting the chewie attitude is in epidemic proportions.

Re: Last weeks debacle against Hawthorn

Port got up by 1 point That they did - 0:03 seconds to go - but seriously - after last weeks game I fully expected Hawthorn to lose by 10 goals - it was only their lack of experience (we also suffer from this) that saw them try and close down a 28 point lead for a whole quarter. What I found intere...

Re: The Blame game

I’m watching the Eagles and Melbourne game. I can’t see us getting within cooee of both these sides. Superb endeavour, speed, hardness and commitment from both sides. It’s much better than the agony of watching the Saints playing predictable, plodding, boring, dumb football.

Re: Zebras v Tigers

Just shows how out of touch our match committee is Could have left Pou in for another week, let him pick 20+ in the midfield and watch his confidence soar. Instead, we crush his confidence by playing him when he is down on confidence and not ready . We didn’t crush Phillipou’s confidence. Lyon did ...

Re: Sack Lyon

Jack Steele might be carrying a niggle. Didn't he have a crook knee a few weeks ago? I really don't know what's going on because I'm not on the inside, but he looks dispirited at times. Craig McCrae played Jordan De Goey exclusively in the forward line as he's coming back from a sore groin. Why doe...

Foghorn Leghorn?

The players, like Egghead Junior, have worked Lyons out. He’s the uninspiring, bumptious reincarnation of Foghorn Leghorn. He just keeps on flapping off at the mouth.

Wood ran off his line. The umpire called play-on. I could hear the call in Perth. Wood had no peripheral vision.

Lumbering, zone off, insipid, slow thinking Howard. He searches around looking for someone, anyone, to blame for his own inadequacies.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

Absolute rubbish dished up today. Ploddingly slow, telegraphed passes, slow as a wet week defensive running, insipid tackling. The players aren’t playing with any intensity, or for each other. No shepherding. It looks like a team of individual big-heads.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024

Disgraceful, insipid, error-filled effort from a poorly coached team devoid of leadership. Saints were a rabble of lazy, ponderous, individuals. They allowed a depleted Port side to over-run them. Big clean out is needed at the end of the year…starting with Howard.

He's not going to rip it up first game back. Give him a break.
He never rips it.

He can still be hard, but instead he squibs it. He’s not a backman’s ring piece. He’s a sulking waste of space.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024

For a big bloke, footsteps Howard avoids physical contact and is afraid to hit the ball hard and turns it over with weak efforts. Play him in the forward line and tell him to smash into packs, coz he’s petrified in defence.
