Re: Gawn 8 StKilda 10
Marshall fought it out all day, but got his arse handed to him.

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
I agree that pre-OP, Ball was an A-grade midfielder. However, Judd was next level and already arguably the best player in the game. I’m not saying taking Ball was necessarily a bad decision, but as much as hindsight is a wonderful thing, taking Judd was the difference from that being a very good dra...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
Yes, he’s a tool. But, we’ve been here before and this exactly what happens. Remember when we last had a war chest, two picks in the top 10, Finnis declaring us as a “destination club,” and we were playing better footy than we are now - apparently good enough to extend Richo’s contract. We were in t...

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
Getting the picks is only 1 part of rebuilding Getting the selection right is part 2 Developing them correctly is part 4 Having the right leadership and culture around them - part 4 We got it very right in 2000-2002 GT should take a lot of credit for that We got it very wrong 2012-2014 Elshaug and ...

Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
Our forwards don’t lead to advantage.
The rare occasion we take a mark inside 50, it’s contested.
Whereas Freo’s forwards were marking on the lead like it was going out of fashion.
Is the delivery to our forwards the issue, or do our forwards just not lead to advantage?

Re: So is this rebuild mark 4 now?
I honestly can’t think of a first round pick that has delivered since Goddard.
Gresh was close, but no longer on our books?
Anyone?

Not the answer.
We’re poorly coached at present, but who is available to turn this slightly better than VFL standard list around?

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
We’re just a sh**ty football team. Simple.
The fact that the apologists tried to argue that we were beat by a good opponent when we dropped the opener to Geelong says it all.

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
A good team makes their opponent pay for inaccuracy.
We, on the other hand, just keep the door open…
We are a s**t team.

Re: Philipou’s Manager
It would be naive to think that Pou didn’t have something to say about him be dropped. He’s young, immature and last week was the first time in his careers he’s had to play in the seconds. He’s a prospect, but yet to prove he’ll be a star. I think he’s been he’s been very lucky to play as many games...

Re: Let’s talk about cheating
We didn’t deserve to win. The game was always played on Port’s terms. However, on this occasion, we got absolutely reamed by the umps. Was it a conspiracy, no? Did it cost us the game, unlikely. But did it affect the final margin being even closer and our chances of snatching an unlikely victory. Ab...

Re: Can we?
GWS - no.
Dogs - maybe.
Port - we are yet to beat Hinkley since he became coach of Port, so a resounding no (I don’t count the COVID “stop-gap” season).
