Re: Players' meeting

I hope there is someone questioning the Players. The second half was awful. How many broken / missed tackles Was there a hard ball get at all? Season on the line. Up by 20odd. DIdnt turn up after half time. The mojo was gone. The mojo is the Saints strength. When it is there they can match it with a...

Re: Do we need to extend Lyons contract now?

Is he really up for it? He is leaving much of the coaching to his Assistants. He stated in a recent interview he is watching the training from the balcony. I think it was WIlkie that said to him that he needs to be harder on the players. Call them to account more often. Is he really that invested in...

Re: The run home

Interesting that website has Sinclair as running 19th in the Brownlow.

He has been our best most influential player. Interesting that we havent got a player rating higher seeing we are 5th on the ladder.

Re: Zak Jones season over

Hopefully gets a one year extension.
He owes the club as he was on a pretty good contract and really hasnt performed up to that expectation.
Therefore if they can give him a chance to repay (eg minimal contract) as he could be very useful next year.

Saints need his aggression around the ball.

Re: King under cloud pre-game?

King has been poor recently. But stkilda have been dreadful For King to succeed we need to kick it too him fast. Quick ball movement to a leading player. Slow ball movement and kicking it on his head he has little to no hope. With slow ball movement he will need to take pack marks or beat 3 (or more...

The conditions on Saturday night were dreadful for 3 quarters. The saints dont play outside enough (eg under the roof) and they looked at sea under the conditions. The conditions didnt suit the talls at all, however they could have done more structurally to bring the ball to ground. The conditions d...

Re: Do we need a tagging midfielder?

I hope Windy doesn't become the new Luke Ball.
Unloved and under utilised by Ross Lyon.

Tagging / run with is a great way of learning the midfield role. Done right with good balance it can be encorporated into a team defence. Especially against the big possession players.

Re: Should we playing Higgins, Gresham and Butler?

They are all too similar. I have always maintained that Higgins and Butler are doing the job of 1 player. They seem to get in each others way. Gresh is the biggest disappointment. He is good, but needs to be more versatile. It is going to be crowded in that forward line. Membrey, King, Caminiti, Owe...

Re: Does king walk straight in?

Wouldn't surprise me if he came back in. A mistake in my opinion.

They rushed back Jack Steele too quick (he is ok now)
But he had a preseason behind him
They rushed back Membery .. hasn't worked
King will need a hit out. He is only just back to practice.
