Carlisle 100% made the correct decision.

Other team's players have got off for far worse but because Long has been labelled a "maniac" by the media and due his overt tough player persona its sets him up to be an easy target for the AFL to ram home their agenda Its no different from Baker Yes, he has form going back to his VFL da...

https://www.facebook.com/79666748182/posts/10158260827463183/ We will see plenty of this at Marvel the next 5 years. Saints fans will appreciate this gut running more when watched live at the ground. It takes just as much courage to gut run like this all game than to put your head over the ball all...

Kent stuffed two simple chest marks.

Midfield is where it will be won and lost

Kent’s dash is no good if he continues to drop simple handball receives.

He's a gun ... averaging 270 more metres gained than Long (390 odd to 120 odd) ... and approximately 6.5 more possessions per game (approx 19/game vs 12.5 only for Long). We might have a lot of hb flankers - but this guy is special. We should nevertheless focus on gun midfielders. foot note: Savage...

Marsh, Byrnes, Savage and Dunstan

Any of those emergencies would contribute more than kent .hope he gets a couple of kicks this week

Surely Kent out has to be a late change.

Really unimpressed with this Looks to me like Ratten’s preoccupation with small forwards is going to cost us badly. Cannot believe Carlisle misses again or that Kent survives. We’re persevering with a structure that doesn’t work and gambling on the most inconsistent and limited players in the harde...

Butler and King have taken a lot goals away from him. Its a really good thing actually.

Not really, King has taken Bruce’s goals and Butler is kicking the ones everyone else used to miss.

No room for Webster, prefer current incumbents. Can see Dunstan playing a part in our midfield now that we have better quality, speed and skill around him.

Billings is not the problem. We need more Billings. A guy having a bad day against a top 4 side and then almost turns the game in the last quarter and people want to trade him? Does he need to get more consistent or do our inside / main on ball midfielders need to get more consistent? I reckon Billi...

Yep. Much more comfortable with the ball with Clark, Coffield, Paton they use it much better.

We can make all the excuses we like but, we were good enough to get 5 goals up on North and 6 up on Freo and then capitulated. We’re so mentally weak. We get ahead of ourselves and will only ski down hill. You haven't got a clue and just sound like a footy groupie. The team was extremely disadvanta...

Gresh should be a small forward punch hitting in the middle. Not a starting on baller resting in the bench. Drop Kent give Brynes/Bytel a crack in the middle. Worked ok for Selwood/Worpel to play mid in their first years.

cwrcyn wrote: ↑Sat 11 Jul 2020 4:07pm Our midfield is still second rate. We have not had an A grade midfielder in years. Jack Steven was the closest we had, and he's gone. I look back to the days when we had Goddard, Hayes, Dal Santo, and Harvey in the same team.

What we would give to have a Hayes like midfielder and LEADER.

Saints hack it forward and turn it over. Freo calmly pin pass the ball down the field for the match winner.

Oh it's all bloody scomo's fault.

No that game is still on. Sides will meet twice in 8 days.

Thanks, was also my initial thought as I’m planning to take the kids to Moorabbin.

Love the bit on battle / Marshall. Awesome that these guys are on the improve and hopefully it translates into the field

Yes. I reckon he should be this years captain.

Barry, If you believe EFL and A Grade Ammos is Park footy you are are clueless. Best footy outside the VFL (semi professional) in Victoria I played with and against numerous ex or soon to be AFL players and a lot of players on up to $1000 a game (and that was 20 years ago). And I played in the TFL,...

Last couple of things on Seb Coaches votes Those mentioned are Top 10 players in comp that has 400 players running around every week. They are the very Elite! Coaches votes are normally led by either absolute Jets or players from winning teams as they get the most votes. I would say that Seb again ...

This discussion contains a lot of tedious to-ing and fro-ing which is to little avail. As I stated early on in this thread, I am convinced that under Brett Ratten Seb Ross will break-out to elite level this year, it is simply a matter of fine tuning his decision making and disposal skills, and if t...

“I don’t think people underrate Seb” The in the next sentence talk about all his deficiencies and compare him to the absolute elite of the competition.

Austin is the player that could pbly come from nowhere if good enough... Always liked the kid, good size, can run.
