Wow.
I got slammed for questioning Skunk's value when I said we can't carry him and he's past it

SaintPav wrote: ↑Fri 26 Apr 2024 9:50pm Cordy is much better than Howard.

Cordy has a football brain. He's got a medal from 2016.
Earned it by being accountable.
Unlike Dougal

We have Goddard, Harves, Harvey, Enright as former legends in the coaching box.
Not their fault.
It's the players fault

Well that hurts.
He went to ground

He needs to go. Blames everyone except himself for his stuff ups too.
Membrey is unfortunately a liability now too. His time is over.

Well.
I got slammed for saying Skunk shouldn't be in the team

A twitter coterie just posted that Misson said guys were sore, tired, 3 games in 11 days.

Caminiti might be ok.
Byrnes will be back to his best. Trust me

Howard supposedly hates fwd play and came to us on the promise of no fwd play

In a few weeks we get a lot of players back! Hopefully not too many more get injured in the meantime?! Clark - 1 week King - 1 week Henry - 2 weeks Webster - 1 week Wood - 1 week Paton - 2 weeks Crouch - 2 weeks Hayes - playing VFL Dow - playing VFL That’s 9 players in the next 1-3 weeks returning ...

I still say that IMHO it would be far better for both club and the Pou if he went home. I would prefer him to go so we could snag one young talented mid. We don't need Pou's 9 touches a game; we need a nice mid getting 20+ f*** and what if the next kid that we snag gets 8 possessions for the next y...

Come in DB Cooper, Loris and Willard Saint because you are all exactly who I am referring to And I back in the knowledge of the likes of Lyon, Enright, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard over the nonsense you all contribute here They have all at the very least actually played the game at the level The peopl...

King still sore?

Killa, this thread is about Pou re-signing.
You've gone on a one-man Sermon on the Mount rant about our club and staying the course;
And veered off into a history lesson about the Hawks or Cats or who knows

Let Pou walk to SA.
His second year shows zero improvement.
If Crows or Power offers up a decent mid or a nice draft pick, take it.

The Pou won't get better under our guidance.

We CAN'T DEVELOP PLAYERS.


Give him a chance to improve at a better culture.
We'll get a decent mid.

What’s the purpose and benefit of the tactic of sitting back in a game of keeping’s off? I don't listen to commentators, but even they saw folly. Fox guys kept saying we 'were guarding grass, not players'. Astounding. 134 uncontested marks. At no point in the game did the brains trust (cough) reali...

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...

Confirmed by club.
Bone bruising is ok now.

Mason Wood close
Henry close too

When I read the first few paragraphs, i coulda sworn it was a parody.

Who speaks like that?

Wilkie was caught out several times. And each time, he was angry. He had a game he'd rather forget. As a leader, I'd expect him to speak up at each break when Boris spoke to the defenders- and say 'guys, this cr@p ain't working' Why wasn't it addressed at qtr time, 1/2 time, etc. 'Insanity' is repea...

Let him return to SA.

I wom't miss him.
Gone backwards

I thought at the time that Bassat bringing in Lyon was a PR stunt from a desperate president who was impatient for success, and who thought looking backwards was the answer. I was really disappointed with Lyon coming back, as I see him as the past, had his time and been out of the game for a while ...

One thing stands out to me. When we are getting soundly beaten, we turn the game into a combo of rugby union and Auskick. Rolling mauls. We strangle and smother the free-flow of the game for a stalemate until we can get the ball out the back for Higgo and others to run into a vacant fwd line. We can...

Fair to say he gave Owens a bath

170 AF points?

Our club will help someone get a Brownlow.
It used to be a mids' award, for the first time in a long time, it'll go to a HB.
Thanks Saints

So was it the unlucky bounce in 2009 or more this unfortunate game plan? It needs to be asked at some stage. Shaw, Thomas, O'Brien etc. kept rebounding everything at will in 2010 .. we made them superstars. Enright, Kelly and Milburn destroyed us in 2009 ... we gave them too much latitude. Martin 4...

I don't like commentators but they made fun of our guys guarding grass and not oppo.

You look at the disposals for Doggies and it was 100 more than us.
Pathetic

Based on what we've seen so far, Here's my tips for worrying games where our poor midfield and fwd line will see us get touched up badly. You might call me a fool, but look at the style that had us beat Pies, Tigers; and get close to Cats n Giants. We devolved into rugby scrums, like Auskick. Becaus...
