Great to see Goddard debut. Dont care how he goes, it dosn't really matter, it's the beginning for him. He needs games!! Ross is very stiff to go out. One poor game after a 25+ posi game the week before. He's certainly being made to earn it. Can think of a couple of weeks where newnes, Dunstan have...

Has the flu.

Going by the vision from the saints website, i cant see roo missing.

The point above is with regards to ray and gilbert waltzing into the team with hardly any decent form behind them. Im going off from what i have seen last year in those 2 games which was more than most 1st gamers. I just want him to be given a fair crack at senior level considering we are not final...

Why would some bloke playing in the thirds get 5 games in the seniors? McCartin would get games ahead of him. White is gawn at seasons end and deserves to be. List clogger. Because the last time he played he didnt disgrace himself in a team that was getting thumped by 70 odd points each game. Also ...

Considering the position we are atm (rebuild) we need to give him a run of 5 or so games to exactly see were his is at with his so called terrible tank. He played 2 games last year and didnt disgrace himself, so give him a chance to see what kind of impact he has. If he shows nothing then we can al...

I keep hearing all these references with regards to 'defensive stuff'. last year i watched both of his games with high interest due to us having no real replacement for Roo. Now in the Richmond game i thought has has shown more potentially and actually played a very good game outmarking chaplin and...

Maybe the older player as sub makes more sense especially if they only going to play 30 minutes. And if Ray was in the 22 anyway its better the young kid starts and gets about 3 quarters. Also the young player who replaces ray maybe better to have a whole game at Sandy that 30 minutes in the senior...

When the pressure is on our skill level seems to be worse than almost every team in the league. Now this draft coming up we need to get a player with best kicking skills. I dont csre if he only gets the ball 15 times a game or is soft as butter, but delivers them with precision rather than racking u...

Hard to get to 100 games when you are playing for Sandringham all year. Who would be anywhere near a 100 if they had played a little more often? You have to get to 30 before you get to 50 before you get to 100. I was happy with the balance a few weeks and was in fact arguing with con & bluthy t...

Amazing player. One of my fav players outside of the saints and have been watching him pretty close. Has increased his engine this year and the work rate and power running that he is able to do is very impressive!

I agree with you plugger 100% with regards to Ray being the easiest to replace, but it's interesting that when say Mackenzie came in and played on a wing/halfback, he really only got half the posi's Ray usually racks up. not looking up exact stats, thats how it felt. Don't get me wrong, i like the ...

Was training with the main group spasmodically, with swimming sessions and work in the altitude room on the harness treadmill. It is not a stress fracture, but after he had his soft tissue injury pre season he put a lot of miles in his legs and it's told. They played him mainly forward instead of r...

i personally think that he should be playing every game... but with him in the current side the backline doesnt quiet look right with Chips Gilbo Dempster Roberton and him.. one of them needs to make way and i dont think its robbo due to his run...

Its a fine line that we have at the moment between the experience and the young guys. Now at the start of the year i was pretty filthy that we were selecting Schneider to play instead of the kids. I take my comments back because he is has been very good with his performances and eli/minch when in th...

I will probably get flamed for this but here goes.. Now i dont like seeing any of our players injured but the one to ray was a blessing i thought at the start of the year.. he is for me a borderline selection with players such as mckenzie and acres in same position as him. We had to play youngster a...

I agree with you on most parts there saintjake and I too was calling for his gead after the essendon game. Credit were credit is due, this is probably his beast season for us. However id still go with sinclair the only reason is because we have got a few older blokes back in the side with chips gilb...
