Last time I can remember it being consistently functioning effectively and looking dangerous… the line up was so,etching to the effect of: Phillipou, Caminati, Gresh Higgins, Cordy, Butler Then as some of those players pushed up the ground, Owens and Wood would drop in Here’s what I remember of that...

Steele with 33 touches and 10 tackles and Sinclair had 29!

Not much of a comparison

I don't know what people issue is with Byrnes. He's one of the only players I see having some kind of impact in tight. I'm not sure, maybe I have to watch our poor moments more closely but it feels like pretty much everyone was turning it over in the first half, so why single him out? The first thi...

Wasn’t he opposed to Bolton

Before Stocker was moved on to him

Huge coaching mishap if that’s the case.

Some things to work on

Hopefully he continues to improve and develop into a good player

What should he improve on?

If you have too many developing players in a team it isn’t going to win many games. We already have Caminiti, Sharman, Owens, Phillipou, Wilson and Hastie, and presumably Windhager will come back in next week. And now you want to add Bonner, Schoenmaker and Garcia. It’s far too many! Not really wha...

Also… I left Hayes off my list of positives.

Nice to have him back

My call at the end of 2023 was to move on 2 of Dmac, Jones and Billings. Too expensive and injury prone to carry them all.

My choice of the three was to keep Billings. I pbly stand by that as he pbly offers more value than Jones… but I can’t say I’m losing sleep over it one way or another

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster so far… 2/2 with a combined losing total of 13 points Injury ravaged list Some what erratic form With a little bit of luck, we could have been 4-0 . Certainly the Essendon game is one we lost rather than one that they won… and we’re pbly all feeling a bit relieved...

I feel triggered

Certainly bounced back - I agree that the criticism last week was over the top but you really only have your self to blame when you have 17 turnovers. Kid has excellent skills but the challenge for him is composure… making the right decision rather than blazing. One thing I really like about him… 4 ...

I’d be prepared to sign him up now

I think sometimes the reality is you play ugly and are lucky to get away with the points… and whilst the negatives shouldn’t be ignored per’se, it’s just worthwhile getting the points and reloading. Like many have pointed out: We’re injury ravaged Not in great form Structurally all over the place Ri...

Need big last quarters from Sinclair and King IMO

Am really not liking Jones or Byrnes at the moment… not great disposal… in which case you need a lot of ball and they’re barely near it. Hate that Butler walked right back in and hasn’t gotten near it King, Membrey, Coops and Caminati is just too tall. Seems like everyone but the club saw that comin...

A goalless half is looking. What a horror show

Go Saints… hoping for a strong response by the Saints led by the midfield with King reminding everyone that he is elite.

Any word on the sub?

We look too top heavy. Not sure we need both Cordy and Caminiti in the team. Came on to post this… Am very worried about their potential run from our backline. Coops most likely going to be expected to player a curb influence/chase role that I’m not sure is his strength. Reckon one of he or Caminat...

After the elimination final last year… I thought we’d finally fallen into the spot with Coops where the sense was that we’d let him ply his craft as a forward and fit within the structure of our other forwards in King and Membrey. Unfortunately however… there seems to be a different expectations for...

Caroline Wilson was pointing the finger at Sam Fisher and implying that he had a drug problem as far back as his playing days. His involvement with drugs seems to go much further back than some are suggesting here. Without getting into specifics… The rumours and stories floating around about Sam we...

I’m a not thrilled by this. By this logic… one would think that either Caminati or Coops would be sub for the sake of balance. Neither is an ideal choice as a come on impact player. Hastie starts back and I assume frees someone up to play more midfield. Maybe Sinclair or Bonner. I’d have liked to ha...

Oh Billings
