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

Geeez let me think…

Half Forward Flank and Billings is going to be awarded three Brownlow Medals retrospectively

Needed to show something in the VFL first?

That’s a def for me. I’d have gone Collard first. Ideal game for him to properly debut IMO

Ryan Byrnes… too hot and cold. Game was on the line and he had 1 touch on the last quarter. Seb Ross was voted as best on ground by the Saintsational crew Sebby had 3 touches in the last quarter. All were uncontested. His disposal efficiency in the last was 66.66% That means he had 2 effective disp...

Riley Bonner - he gets a lot of airtime this week for his infamous 17 turnovers overshadowing his 32 touches. Obviously Essendon get credit for shadowing and reducing the impact of NWM who is the key play maker of our HBFs. Here’s the thing though… this isn’t the first time a Saints play maker has c...

You certainly couldn’t bank on him having 17 touches a match against quality opposition

Admittedly his 32 touches weren’t as impactful as the 8 Jack had
Riley had more touches on Saturday… then Jack has had in three of his games combined

Didn’t have the best game on Saturday but he’s turned up every week so far and busted a gut.

The other 250k would be tied into Riley Bonner

If Bonner is the trade off, then I reckon so far, that I’m pretty happy with that.
Bonner looks to me to be a much better prospect

have we lost that with the new site?? I was loving life…his little mate will be along soon if so…sadly.. Just tested it out… seems to be working fine for me.

I said he took a courageous contested mark - since we were giving singular incidents to mark a players courage? Luke Breust is obviously a star Matt Guelfi averages 13ppg Billing 20ppg Just admit he was a good HFF at his best He wasn’t the elite player we hoped when drafted (for a variety of reason...

What's noticeable about him is his light frame. He played on Sam Weideman and Weideman looked like Tom Hawkins compared to Keeler. Although the same height, Keeler could make no physical impact with his one on one contests. He simply couldn't move Weideman off the ball and Weideman is not known for...

BM, you just said he won them those games. Don’t flip the script as if I’m the one creating a false narrative. No one but you is expressing the belief of a false narrative that he hasn’t had good games. Like many… I’m just pointing out that he isn’t the consistent, elite match winner that you’re pai...

Why not - most AFL teams are pretty good aren’t they? He just did it for Melbourne - they’ve won 3 Honestly- I reckon we rewrite history to suit our agenda Don’t we just :lol: :lol: :lol: Just did it for Melbourne did he!? With his 8 touches before he was subbed off - Take a note BM, Melbourne step...

Soft means different things.

I don’t doubt his courage or ability to put his head over the ball…
I wouldn’t want him on the field when the game is there to be won against quality opposition

Waaay too early for this call IMO

Seems to me that the mistake here is that Windhager turned instead of catapulting into the air and grabbing his leg like he’d broken it.
