........... Our players look and act like they’re carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Maybe it’s the weight of expectation. I’m sure that’s been drummed into them. No premiership for 68 years etc etc.........
But I was 10 years old when we won the flag .. and I'm only 68 now ...

Re: Changes for Gold Coast
It would be great to reward Heath if he was that good. If Max King is injured, perhaps Marshall & Heath can rotate between Ruck & Forward, not likely to be much worse that Max's recent form. It would be fantastic if we could find a 2nd ruck who can play forward. Keeler may be another option....

Re: Kane Cork Sucker
Well, I completely agree with Kane Cornes. The Ross Lyon 'blueprint' game plan is designed to suck the life-blood out of talented footballers. I'd imagine Max has a lot of team mates who'd prefer to be playing for a team with a less taxing, and more positive game plan. The boys just want to play foo...

Re: Team for Saturday
I’d rather play Crouch than Steele. I've seen so many similar comments. I'm still not happy with what I witnessed from our Captain last Sunday. I can only imagine its been tense between Coach and Captain this week. If you weren’t at the ground on Sunday - it’s hard to put into words. There was a lo...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Which would you prefer? The opposition ruckman hacks the ball 40 meters in their direction to a contest .. or .. Marshall hacks the ball 40 meters in our direction to a contest? With the Marshall scenario, the ball is 80 meters closer to our goal, and it's to a contest. So the question should be, ho...

Re: Zebras v Tigers
Only watched the 2nd half, a lot to like from a Saints perspective.
Garcia looks all class, hard to understand why he was dropped.
Couch and Hunter Clark also looked good.
Allison kicked 5, and Keeler looked good. Keeler might be good, he moves with a lot of poise for a tall guy.

Serious question; can anybody please describe the actual game plan? The next question is: Is there a plan B? And is the game plan actuall...

Re: Chasing Weitering
Make sure we keep Battle and Windhager. Recruit another batch of decent kids. Then look for a couple of quality mids ..like Butters, Gulden or Tom Green .. hopefully around age 23-24 Then a couple of free agents to 'complete' the list so it's good for the next 4-5 years. Oh, we may also need a new c...

Re: Philipou’s Manager
Usually where there's smoke there's fire .. King and Owens have both been disappointing this season, and so has Philipou. Actually the whole squad has been quite disappointing, some may suggest lacking passion and positive energy. Some supporters, like me, are frustrated with our game style. It's qu...

Hopefully Henry is back, probably at the expense of Hastie. I'd also like to give Shoemaker a game in his home state, possibly at the expense of Cordy.

Re: win banked and move on
The question of forward craft warrants discussion. It was encouraging to see Jack Hayes actually lead toward the ball carrier on a few occasions. This has been lacking, by most, possibly with the exception of Jack Higgins. Max King rarely leads, but rather presents himself as a contested marking opt...

Re: Forward coach under pressure .
Agree that something needs to change, but I'm not sure it's just the forward coach. Our forwards don't mark on the lead, mostly because they don't lead. And the main reason they don't lead is because they're up at the wrong end of the ground. And the reason they're at the wrong end of the ground is ...
