Re: Arie SCHOENMAKER
He's playing quite well. He has some things to work on, in particular his tackling (or rather his willingness to). He tends to let players get around him far too easily and then doesn't follow up with any urgency. I think this may partly be because he doesn't have a big tank and doesn't accelerate q...

Re: Trade King
TheNotSoGreatZacsby, I'll have you know I once karate chopped a 1m length of balsa wood with my bare hand.
My assistant, Mr Batfink, was suitably impressed
How dare you question my mastery of martial arts!!!!

Re: Trade King
His goal kicking is a problem. He's never going to be a smash and bash forward. He has to lead more. He gets held off the ball all the time and struggles with it. Someone should send him to a martial arts specialist to teach him how to get out of the grips of his opponents off the ball

Re: Gacia. Great Debut
It certainly does deserve its own thread.
He's got that manic attack on the contest. Energetic, aggressive and quick.
He's a keeper
That's two we can give a tick to from last year's draft.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2024
We actually matched them from the 2nd quarter onward, but made appalling errors that gifted them goals and denied us of them. Take those half a dozen howlers out and we win the game.
Some people on here say we're badly coached. If that game had been under Ratten or Richardson we'd have lost by 80

Against Bombers, multiple unforced errors. Lose by 4 points
Against GWS, multiple unforced errors. Lose by one point.
Hill, Steele, and Marshall were awesome. Garcia is a keeper.

Re: Can we?
Looking at that GWS line-up. Wow, it's a seriously talented team. They have more run than us, better clearance players, and a key forward who is a beast. Taylor at fullback is going to make it very hard for King, and Greene will provide a massive headache, as usual. I'd be inclined to play Stocker o...

He's fumbling below his knees at the moment and snatching at the ball. I'm confident he'll turn it around.

Also, the key position players they've brought in from other clubs in recent years have been, for the most part, plodders.

Re: North - AFL fiddling
North did the the old 'top up' method when they picked up Dal Santo and a few others in the hope it would get them the cup. Then they coughed up too much for Stephenson, who has turned out to be a massive bust. Along the way, they took their eye off the long term during the 2014 to 2019 period and t...

Re: Cooked
Lyon sees this team as a work in progress, and rightly so. He inherited a team that was way down the pecking order in relation to contention with a worrying lack of emerging talent. The sins of the past (recruitment) had left him with a lopsided list and the focus has shifted to bringing in young ta...

Re: Isaac Keeler
What's noticeable about him is his light frame. He played on Sam Weideman and Weideman looked like Tom Hawkins compared to Keeler. Although the same height, Keeler could make no physical impact with his one on one contests. He simply couldn't move Weideman off the ball and Weideman is not known for ...

So......not having near your best team on the park is absolutely no excuse?

We've not had our best team in. If we had, there'd be a strong chance we'd be 3 - 0 right now. Have to look at everything in context and keep an eye on the future.

Re: Changes for tge Richmond at Gather Round.
We're running out of options. Replacing Windhager when we already have Dow, Henry, Crouch, and Clark out is near impossible. It's really out of Collard and Garcia. Hotton's form has been poor. The only other youngster who's played well is McClennan, but he's the wrong position. Schoenmaker did very ...

Re: Match thread. Saints V Bombers
It's simple. Kick goals when you're on top and you demoralise your opponents. Kick behinds and you energise them, and demoralise yourselves in the process. We should have been 7 goals up half way through the 2nd quarter. Instead, we were one goal up. At that point I knew we'd struggle to win. The te...

He completely lost his nerve after quarter time. Started ignoring team mates in space and bombing long. The pressure got to him.

If you look at players aged 27 and under we have no genuine clearance midfielders. In the next two years we need to select a couple of midfield guns or there'll be no chance of winning the big one any time soon
