Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021

We are just not a very good football team. It's quite simple really.

Last week was your classic come from behind, stirring, underdog win. Nothing more than that. Wet Coke let that one slip. We are poor. And the messiah is being found out.

Re: Gresham- Done

Any chance it helps to improve his kicking?

Terrible for the kid, but in all seriousness, his ball use terrible.

He's at GWS. Sav is living in and playing for Port Fairy.

Re: This is how the Crouch deal will go down.......

If the Crows don't match, I hope we give nothing for peanuts during the trade period. Unless of course it is to free up salary for a greater cause. Obviously a benefit to us. It seems Adelaide may have conceded and accept the compensation is adequate. If so, that's our job done. This is a ruthless ...

Re: Webster and Dunstan to Adelaide

Possibly someone on the radar who requires the cap space and/or pick from Dunstan and Jimmy. If so, could be a good deal for both clubs. If not... Well, that wouldn't make much sense. OR it requires us paying Crouch more to trigger the Band 1 compensation for Adelaide, so we actually require cap sp...

Re: Crouch

I like to think this frees Jack Steele up even more. He was almost pigeon holed as an inside mid at the start, used as a stopper etc.... Now we've seen he has plenty of strings to his bow. He's become elite and Crouch gives him even more breathing room. This could end up a really good get in more wa...

Re: ITKs Come On Down

Money talks. If that's what it came down to, I'm glad the club didn't sell the farm.

The best clubs have players who are prepared to play for a little less to be in a rewarding and successful environment. Let's get this right

Re: The Caldwell conundrum

Brian Speaking reckons that Caldwell is going to Essendon but subsequent posts indicate he is sitting on the fence and that Gubby is still trying and doesn't give up easily. We have Bytel who we need to get serious game time into. I think they are similar types too so I am not too fussed about this...

Re: Will Cotchin and Lynch be out of the finals?

"The potential to cause injury" in the Cotchin incident should be taken into account, should it not?

But this is the AFL in real life... We already know the outcomes.

I thought they were uncontested
One on the wing and two in the goal square come to mind. As contested as they come. 4 out of his 5 marks officially

WOW, set the standard for key forwards in the game. Some towering, strong marks on the wing and in the square. Will be a behemoth of the game, let's hope we can bring on board his brother to join in the rampage. Hard to believe anyone would call for him to be dropped. Sour grapes, lack of knowledge...

He's the type of player that really makes you second guess when your head is over the footy. He needs to be careful, of course... But he is a weapon in more ways than one. Yes, he is pointy and he hurts... But once he gets in your head, putting yourself over that ball at a center bounce becomes a lo...

Does need to be careful... But there's nothing worse for a mid with his head over the ball than knowing that might be coming. Once its in your head, it can be hard to shake.

If he does it right, I'm all for it
