Uninspiring Underwhelming Ryan Byrnes 2 weeks ago worst on ground vs Box Hill Last week just OK vs a woeful Richmond VFL Agree with your first two points but you're missing a key point on Byrnes, the VFL game is on the same day. Byrnes won't play at either level. Extended bench selected to allow pl...

Can understand these selections but how does Bonner keep his spot? He played so bad last week he was being boo’d by large portions of the saints crowd, don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Player review from Batchelor https://www.saints.com.au/news/1559953/vfl-player-review-heath-and-garcia-kings-of-the-jungle-as-the-zebras-take-down-tigers Just watched this. Did anyone notice Matt Allison's game? Wow! He can play. A couple of more games like that and he's got to get an opportunity. ...

Hi skeptic, any chance of changing the title of this topic to something more respectful and in line with a supporters forum. Its a bit low rent, I think, and its popularity means its one of the first things a reader sees: like coming upon the latrines out back before seeing the big house. Couldn’t ...

Nice analysis.

Silver lining. We should get a soft draw again next year Maybe. I think hawthorn will be a powerhouse next year and the remaining decade after that. Will probably cop them twice at this rate. North and west coast should also improve. To be honest last thing we need is a soft draw It’s fools gold!! ...

The big guy is great at taking the Sherrin outta the ruck contest, and hacking it forward. It adds to his disposal tally, his coaches' votes, and his AF points. BUT WHAT does it do for the team? The kicks are like Seb's blind kicks to nobody. What good are they? His ruck play isn't like Luke Jackso...

I’m not just talking about his numbers His effort was huge - which resulted in those numbers If you don’t think he was our best player - you were watching a different game to me He was enormous Didn’t say his effort wasn’t huge. But a problem at St Kilda is we put our stars up on a pedestal and ref...

Just watched the reserves and although the opposition wasn't much it was clear a couple things: Clark and Garcia in Crouch was good but needs another week to get a fitness base In: Higgins, Membrey, Clark, Stocker. Garcia Out: Sharman, Bonner, Jones, Paton, Collard B: Wilkie, Howard, Stocker HB: Na...

Ned moyle is a spud

Not at all hill’s fault. Bonner made a terrible decision in the first place by kicking there, even if that kick is executed correctly what is achieved by moving the ball 20 meters forward from the goals square? The kick was terrible and flew over hill’s head in any case. Then not even 2 minutes late...

Can’t wait to see Flanders play us in 2 weeks. Will be on for 50+.

I have been a big supporter of lyon to date. But it’s the persistence with selection of players like Bonner, jones and Howard. Guys who have no right to be playing AFL and week in week out disrespect the jumper and the fans with their pitiful effort. Now the season is definitely over what is the poi...

Really disappointing to see jones selected has not played a good game at afl level in a very long time.

3 qtr time. That was an 8-goal quarter. Suns lead by 60-something. OK, Darwin is tropical, hot, high humidity, energy-sapping, and Suns prob went to Darwin 3 days early to adapt... But history will show a big win and it won't have an asterisk like all the games during Covid lockdown Suns have been ...

Petracca gets forward and kicks goals Steele? Don’t get me wrong, Steele is a very valuable footballer at St Kilda but given the position he plays he is compared to (list the elite mids) 2021 was 2021 but it is now 2024 I just do not rank Steele as competition leading - unlike Marshall, Sinclair, H...

Rather spend on some of that cash on getting a couple 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 ...

Does anyone on this forum seriously think getting rid of Hind was a bad move? He’s probably been worse at Essendon than when he was with us. Biggest whipping boy at the bombers and for good reason. Spud.

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

Owens far better under Lyon last year than in his first season. So factually incorrect.
