This narrative that he is going to leave for less money is a classic saintsational.net story. No chance of that happening. I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean less money than St Kilda, but he may not take the biggest offer from another club. ie North are evidently the highest bidders, then...

Worked out brilliantly for us with BJ, Dal and McEvoy. Looking forward to replacing a consistent top 10 B&F player with the next Tom Lee. I love Battle but to put him in the same category as the 3 above is ridiculous. Also this is about free agency which wasnt really a thing. We don't want to l...

Confused. We have a big war chest but are currently at our cap limit? And as an outsider, I wouldn't say Battle is having poor form. Sure, he's not looking as composed as normal, but neither are Owens Pou Wilkie Sincs NAS Skunk Butler Higgo Caminiti Sharman Byrnes Limit of what we value him at, not...

It only makes sense IF he generates Band 1 Compo, and that is not at all certain. If not, we gain a pick that may or may not be as good as Battle and who will be raw. Whomever Battle plays for you know he will play very well for many years. There is a huge assumption that Battle will go only tilla ...

Just watched the replay of the last qtr (jet lag interrupted sleep) Sharman looked a class above that qtr. His last goal was also a credit to work rate- he started the transition defensive side of the wing and then followed up to ultimately finish the play too. He is the exact sort of player you don...

Takes a good (wo)man to acknowledge that. (Didn't want to assume)

Also of note is the midfielders each side has delivering the footy. Even if they swapped game plans.

Jack Steele was on Reid in the first quarter and kept him quiet. Steele was released in the second quarter and Dow went to Reid. Worked alright most of the time until WC had a dominant period at the centre bounce and Reid, being untagged and alone on the defensive side of the ball up, capitalised. ...

We should have learned by now with the examples of Acres, Hind and others that the issue of players' development stagnating comes down to a lack of real player development. I put it down to Sandy - I mean come on, they were lucky to beat the Dolphins last night, seriously. End this bullsh1t alignme...

Just because they're twins doesn't mean they are the same.

I played with identical twins who were very different.

Midfield midfield midfield It's why it might be time for Ross to be ruthless and bold and look at a possible King trade, a straight swap for a gun mid. King is built like a pretzel and I think his shoulder injury has robbed him of his aerial ability and why he struggles with aerial contests and bri...

Thought Hunts was a bit slow and fumbly with the ball Will be better for the run Often inside players can look like that. One passage I loved- he stuffed up a play (smothered kick), went back to where the ball was, stopped it with his foot, picked it up and delivered to a team mate. Only a few play...

I think...in spite of Ross the boss...we somehow scratched out a win Well done to our players Oh dear Well...you know how it is Some are on this forum telling us the whole playing list ( or 80% of them) are no good...we need to get rid of them. 'turn the list over' he keeps repeating!! I can pull o...

Windy to Reid should have happened 10 minutes into the second quarter. Did it take Ross getting crook and Enright taking over for it to happen?? It’s nice theory Goes well with most of your dribble Not based on facts though Enright confirmed who coached all day in presser Carry on with your story t...

Webster, Wilkie, Howard
Sinclair, Battle, Milera

Heath, Steele, Dow, Windhager
Wood, Hill


Henry, Membry, Wilson
Owens, Hammer, Higgins


Clark, Butler, Sharman, Bonner

Sub: Crouch

If Marshall is okay Sharman doesn't come in (Heath to play fwd and ruck with Marshall)

Not at all- he could be pissed- I have no idea what he is saying.

The difference is I acknowledge I have no idea and more importantly, it was during the game.

Zero issue with whining during the game. It's after it an incessantly all week like up do that bothers me.

God knows what Ross was saying in the last 16 seconds. Could be anything from where has this been all year to I feel like absolute shite Corey you take the press conference.

Addition of Crouch will be welcomed next week too re clearances given we are going to face an even better midfield.

The focus of some on here tells you a lot.

Far from perfect but a win to be proud of as we try to find some form.

Players no doubt learning a lot this year.

In: Crouch, Sharman, Heath
Out: Ross (managed), King (inj), Marshall (Managed)


This is assuming no Witts.

Could come in for King.

2 goals 2 contested marks 2 goal assists In a team that moves the ball like s*** Get a clue It was like someone sprayed some WD40 on the forward line after King went off, I'd take the way we played after King went off over his 2 goals and average stats any day of the week. My clue will become widel...

The set up at the start of the game was ridiculous Playing players out of position Bombs to McGovern and Barrass No fkn wonder we were getting beaten at HT by a team that lost by 99 last week Commentary: "Exceptional coaching moves from Ross" BM: "Things didn't go perfect from the st...

Beat Melbourne by 6 goals
Lost to essendon by 1 goal
Beat freo by 6 goals
Beat Richmond by 7 goals


A win at their ground us a good result. Particularly given our recent form.

Something to build on.
