Sebs wife Marnie gave birth to twin boys.

The Kings boys mum is also named Marni(e), could this be an omen for the future?

8. TIM MEMBREY’S FINAL QUARTER Leigh Matthews often laments how coaches are hamstrung on game day from making matchwinning moves. St Kilda’s Brett Ratten did exactly that against the Suns on Saturday. Membrey didn’t see the ball in the first three quarters in his customary forward role, so Ratten, n...

Pick number 3 in the rookie draft 2019 a gift really so glad we have actually lucked out with a draft pick they have been few & far between We drafted Young, Parker & Hind then took Wilkie in the rookie draft. Thank god he was still available, very fine player. Reads the ball in flight supe...

Never go back to an ex. She's an 'ex' for a reason Tarrant and Croad.

I ran a marathon with plantar fasciitis .... First thing in the morning you literally can't walk. Once warmed up it is still sore but the pain is manageable. As soon as I finished, world of hurt again. Eventually got it fixed with dry needling and electrotherapy. Not a pleasant experience but did t...

Just last Thursday playing golf I suffered an injury to my plantar fascia ligament on the 1st hole and hobbled around with a sore heel for the next 3 hours, treated it with ice twice daily since and it feels manageable.

Will you be right for Friday nights match?

Lol, he’s taking the piss.

Still, Wood, Slips through his fingers, Frawley on top of Hospital Hannebery if anyone is stupid enough to consider this it would be us.

No idea, just my assumption.
Tony seems to confirm with his comments on Marshall & Billings training.

VHS is superior to Beta Saintbrat.
Also I suggest you only watch the last 1/4

Ran around in the first half like a chook with its head culture off. Hard unrewarding running. Multiple leads to odd spaces, wondering if he was clearing space? Covers the ground well, decent speed and tank, confident and uses it ok. I hope we persevere with him as he looks ok at this early stage. H...

Was Saints BOG for mine yesterday. Strong enough to break or take the tackle and still dispose of the ball. Doesn’t go deep back but links up nicely through the middle. Hannebery is surplus to requirements for mine, we can’t afford a midfield with Crouch, Bytel, & Hannebery due to leg speed and ...

Good question, would anyone who attends training comment?

Under 10,000 attended the match today.
A fair few Saints were there.
Coming a week after their (arguably) best away win ever.

The venue itself is very good, but it’s crap for locals as it has no parking.

Mason Wood, Chips Frawley & Slips through his fingers all recruited this season.

Chips is cooked or close to it, the other two were D grade at their best.

Horrendous recruiting this year, hope we have learnt our lesson come the mid season draft.

Good question. I think Ratts is sending a message to the playing group by rewarding hard work and effort. He’s probably also doing everything that is being asked of him. I thought he was ok today (Joyce). He’s bigger and stronger than Highmore. Joyce is quick and courageous. I think he is a year or...

Could barely walk on it after the match today.

Must really take some management and jabs, he’s clearly playing under duress.

You’d think he may need some management.

5. Crouch
4. Steele
3. Billings
2. Wilkie
1. Jones

Honorable mentions:
Ryder, Marshall, Webster, Battle, Clark, Howard

A couple of observations from the ground. Byrnes running his guts out on the River wing, when he starts hitting the right spots more consistently he will become a good player. Wilke judges the ball in flight as well as anyone. Better intercept player than lock down. Joyce is worth persisting with. V...

Thanks for the heads up, I could have arrived late.

A few sainters on JQ434 last night from Melbourne to Good Coast

Kings biggest effect seems to be on Membrey who is starved of opportunity as King draws the ball so much. Are we a shot to get Max anytime soon? ? Doh, meant Ben. I did speak to a Suns assistant last week but we only spoke about the Saints as he is close with Lade. Let’s call him Wazza. He said Lad...
