He could play as a small/medium forward, sure, but he’s far too valuable as part of our struggling and below average midfield

Re: King ...out of form or
Needed a run and must learn how to deal with a big grappling opponent. Needs to move around more and lead.

Re: Darcy Wilson
Who ran through him? Presume he was merely winded and no concussion involved, but it seemed as if the Norf guy lined him up

Re: Owens
We need to find an elite midfielder and we need to find out if Owens is it. Concerns over his tank can be the only explanation why he’s not in the starting midfield. Owens is a guy too focussed on winning his own ball ( because...that's what he does :idea:) https://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic.p...

Re: Owens
He’s a contested bull Play him in the centre square - rest him forward To me it’s a fkn no brainer It must be that they don’t think he has the tank to play there. I can see no other conceivable reason. But yes, start him in the centre square and rest him forward. Surely he has the tank for that

Re: Paddy Dow to play for Sandy
Good. We need some matured-bodied, experienced players back soon if this is to be anything more than a development year. Brad Crouch, for example, good player but short of superstar status. We’ve missed him a lot more than many would have thought. We need a competitive performance this week against ...

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax
Toby, fantastic player and probably a great bloke. But - given the four weeks to Peter Wright in round 1 for similar - one week for that, with his record? No penalty for Cameron because he is a so-called good bloke? It’s a lot to ask from the AFL, but some consistency would be appreciated. All very ...

Re: VS WB
The Dogs think they are a top 4 side and they certainly have a healthy core of proven top 4 performers so I’ve been surprised by some of our fans thinking we should account for them easy. If they turn it on they will account for us easy but that’s the fascinating aspect to this game for the neutral...

Re: Could we get a selection surprise this week?
Would it be a surprise if we get some AFL capable experienced mature and match hardened bodies into the side? I agree, if it’s to be other than a development year. But who is available? Howard is down as test. Others - Crouch, Wood, Dow, Henry - are weeks to months away. We’re just going to have to...
