What effect will this have on the Hawks? None, or some? The Age is reporting that a Hawks Chief Exec (not sure if CEO, COO CFO) Justin Reeves has resigned 'amid the racist investigation' OMG typical of the Age to conflate the 2 things, or link the quitting to the inquiry. Anyway... That is why he r...

We don't set up well and we often have three in-and-under players (Steele, Ross, Crouch) at the bounce, giving us no run and no spread. Our opposition seem to always have an outlier and quickly create space. In my opinion, Sinclair needs to play as a full time mid. We can't continue with both Ross ...

Great having King back, and we sure need him, but the media overhype is ridiculous. So much attention on him, may help Caminiti, Membrey.

Scolops, I know you've been champing at the bit to get into RTB all season , but 7-3 makes it difficult, no? I had been supportive from basically the start of the year and weeks before even Round 1 had started. I'll be wanting to embrace Ross and give him a cuddle even ...if he can get us back to b...

5 Sinclair 4 Steele 3 Stocker 2 King 1 Gresham (nowhere near his best, but he kept us in it when we were really struggling). Howard (apart from one dreadful mistake), Webster, Wilkie, Hill, Caminiti, Higgins and Butler all did a bit too. I agree NWM did many wonderful things, but he also stuffed up...

Tom Green was a problem- esp in the first half

Otherwise pretty good

I agree. Trouble with the Green(e)s. I thought Webster would go to Toby.

Battle not agile enough, and Wilkie on Greene wasting his intercepting ability.

I don't know why posters want Sinclair shifted permanently to the midfield. He is very dangerous (AA) from half back, where he can use his superb ability to read the play and launch attacks, also intercept plenty of threatening moves forward by the opposition. That would be negated somewhat in the m...

So the questions remain unanswered How did our highly rated senior coach go against the rank novice in Kinsley? What aspects did our coaching group get right today? Kingsley? The senior assistant with years of experience who finally got the top job? Other than you, who in the football world is deni...

Am I missing something? Still not being selected despite being a great user. Hitting targets seems to be an issue at the moment and his ball use is usually excellent. Has his VFL form been that bad? Who's getting the nod ahead of him? Batchelor's VFL review (see other thread), gives some insight. P...

So you are saying that all players have off days. I get that... Wouldn't it be wise when a player has an off week to make them Sub the week after and bring in someone fresh and in good form? Isn't that part of the art of good coaching and good management and maximising the team's chances of winning...

Marcus

Yes, maybe he gets first crack at it. Sort of ease him back to senior football with a soft kill

Jimmy Webster.

That's it! Having a personal dig at me is what you're good at It comes down to one thing and 1 thing Only when I criticise a player or rate a player the club has brought in (instead of developing and giving opportunity to the talent already on your list) Has the midfield performed better since Crou...

Voting is subjective and I don't have a huge issue with who people vote for. I just like to express my thoughts and hopefully get people thinking a bit deeper about who we reward. There is no doubt that Crouch gives great effort 4 weeks ago when Crouch was getting 30 touches most on here were ridic...

Clark Steele Higgins Sinclair Wood Up until Jack Steele came off the ground it was clearly between him and Hunter Clark for best Saints player. Clark was one of the few Saints who kicked well yesterday. Clark and Steele went at 76% disposal efficiency. Hunter kept contributing in that last quarter ...

Don't worry about Crouch. He will want to stick it right up Nicks for releasing that you can go (which he did) video. Good point. I'm sure he does but... Would have been better to rest him last week and let him come in fresh for this game. It's not like he was in ripping hot form for the last 3 wee...

Are Melbourne appealing? I hope they do, as any suspension is wrong in my view. Hopefully sanity will prevail, as it did in the Clark incident.

Ben does lack peripheral vision at times. Maybe Crouch didn't call, assuming Ben would see him. Are you going to accuse every player who has a collision accident from any team that they lack peripheral vision? Anyway...where is your evidence that he lacks peripheral vision? You are making stuff up....

The reason I say Crouch wasn't doing the team thing and that he had no right to be going for the ball is that Ben waved and called for it, and Ben was running in the direction of our goals where as Brad was running towards the North goals. Ben is a very good overhead mark of the footy, so if Brad's...

Defensive tall options!? Coops got to more contests, brought the ball to ground more (the highlights show he did it at least twice which is a Cordy PB), more tackles, more marks. I’ve never seen such a spirited defence of a player go hand in hand with the observation that there are also 2 other pla...

So I haven’t seen the game but what did people think..? Sharman - 17d, 11 kicks, 6 handballs, 8 marks, 2 tackles, 1 goal and 2 behinds. For what I can see in the highlights reel… he contributed to the first goal by actually getting to the contests and bringing it to ground whilst also taking a big ...

That’s exactly it When we were poor, someone needed to be responsible Allan Richardson, Seb Ross, MAV Weller and Jack Newnes were to blame Not Woeful list management decisions that meant we had a lot of poor players on the list Poor recruiting Injuries to key players Poor player development We want...
