When the heat comes on “choose your own adventure” game plan falls apart That's probably the most frustrating part. When we bring the heat - the hard contests, the relentless effort - it can expose the plans of others. Yet if we don't (and it's all too often), our way of playing falls apart. Player...

Both will be players Fringe at the moment, and I’m not for picking someone because they’re the future I would pick best 22 EVERY week regardless of age We are NOT rebuilding or gifting games Short sighted We are not winning the flag with this list this year (should make finals but we’ll see)? We ne...

How much are we liking this kid so far? Thought he was "saintsational"last night. Great reader of the game with great skills to match. Windy also did some really nice things, kid will be a beast in a few years. Owens will also make it. Absolutely nailed the last draft.

Nice goal Higgins and Butler bit our forward entries have been very poor once again.

I think Highmore should come in at the expense of Butler. Part of the rotation on the bench. Paton and Webster to be played further upfield at times. Both can play wing or even in the guts at times. Give us some different bodies in there. Gresh more forward time where he is better suited. I think we...

Hunter needs to get serious in the gym. Maybe it's injuries I don't know, but I see him pretty regularly down the street and you'd never pick he was an AFL player. No muscle definition, thin as a rake, looks gaunt in the face. Maybe just one of those bodies that doesn't put weight on easily but it's...

Good to see Byrnes finally getting a game. Welcome back Hunter

I'm not sold on the mosquito fleet gameplan. How many games have our small forwards dominated as a collective? Not many I can remember. We'll have Higgins, Butler, Long and Gresh when he rests forward. We now have no 2nd tall so King will be double teamed at times. Members will have to play forward ...

I'm wrapped for Paddy but the reality is he's one head hit away from retirement and a lifetime of medical problems. The club made the right decision.
Its inevitable the head hit will come. I just hope he can live his life comfortably afterwards.

We're a red hot chance against the Lions. They're not travelling that well. Been fairly average last few weeks. Playing Freo and then have us coming off a 6 day break. We have a good record up there also. I'm bullish!!

Best game for the club and shows why we need to persist in getting games into our "young guns." You can see his confidence growing every week. Yesterday would have been a huge boost for Owens also. Loved the cheer from the crowd when he came off after his 2nd goal. He had a massive grin on...

Owens, Windy and NVM. This is the type of draft that wins you premierships. Getting 1 good one in a draft is gold, 2 is rare as hens teeth. 3 Is like finding a Unicorn in Atlantis. We've made off like bandits.with this lot.

I just saw it for the first time this morning. That's a 50 every day of every week. Doesn't matter if the siren sounded or the player didn't hear the whistle. The letter of the law is, if an opposition player disposes of the ball after the whistle, 50m penalty applies. I'd be filthy if I was a Richm...

Old saying but still true today. Crow lice coach reckons that his side should have won. Interesting comment seeing that the saints won three of the four quarters. Crow lice coach is right. Just like we should have beaten Port!!! What a load of rubbish,game against Port was a lottery,but the game ag...

Sounds like North are imploding ATM. We need to be wary. They came to play last week and after another torrid week off the field, the players may come out breathing fire or fall into a heap. Either way we need to be ready for the first and/or take full advantage of the second and absolutely tear the...

You no longer get Dempstered. You get Wilkied. Great pick up.

The Geelong win makes up for the Port loss, as far as most had us at 7-3 at this stage, which at the start of the year, you'd have taken in a heartbeat. We've had a great start to the year and we need to finish strong with last 2 games before the bye. Adelaide I'll be happy with the win over there b...

Surely Byrnes gets a look. He's been emergency for how many weeks now? Crouch, Ross and Windy can have the bull duties. Get the kid in and watch him tear it apart I reckon. Kid has something. Bit of the Jack Steven about him. Would hate to see him waste away in the Magoos. Clark will need another we...

If we add DeGoey and Amon next year we're Top 4 for sure. I have my concerns about DeGoey like everyone else. Alot of allegations against him and while innocent until proven guilty, there is a lot of smoke there. Also injury prone. Adding them means we'll probably loose a few also. It's a gamble but...

Thing that annoys me though is that Hawthorn gave us a good blueprint on how to play Melbourne the week before and we didn't even try to replicate it. Yeah we got off the leash a bit in the second half but the damage was done and Mebourne probably just went down a gear also. I hope the coaches learn...

Higgins King Membrey Billings Sharman Gresham Hill Jones Sinclair D Mac Battle Webster Wilkie Howard Leinert Ryder, Steele, Crouch NWM, Marshall Ross, Long Agree with most of this except I'd have Webster out before Paton and NWM needs a rest in the 2's. Not enough output. I'd be putting Byrnes in a...

Have to make May accountable. He's doing what he likes. Keep bombing it long is literally playing straight into his hands.

DMac on Langdon
Ross on Oliver
Must man up on Lever too. Don't let him play the loose man in defence or he'll intercept everything. Have to make him accountable.

We well and truly have the ruck advantage in this game. Expect to.see Gresh in the middle a fair bit with Ryder jamming it down his throat. Rozzee has been their catalyst for form change , with him in the middle, so we need someone tagging him out of it. With no Dixon I have our back six covering th...

I'd be resting Marshall. Corks are nasty and a plane ride up and back for a big man is not goingto help it all. We have an 8 day break after this game so plenty of time for him to recover for Melb where we are defintley going to need two rucks. I reckon we can go with Ryder by himself and bring in a...
