Re: The Carter Review

The old VFL Tassie team had a dark green guernsey with a gold map of Tassie on the chest.

I'm glad some clubs are still interested in Billings, otherwise he would be as irrelevant to their teams as he has become to ours!

Re: Daniel McKenzie says hi

My WTF realisation about DMac was the West Coast game in Round 4, where I found myself turning to a rose-coloured Saints couple next to me and said "gee Mackenzie has really played well today"! He was clearly in our best players that day and deserved Coach's votes. I think that was his fir...

Re: WCE vs Dees

If Richo had done the presser for the Demons after the game, I'm sure the phrase "if we can just park that last quarter after the lightning break......." would have been trotted out.

Re: WCE vs Dees

The goalpost uprooting in the relative darkness at Waverley in July '96 wasn't nearly as entertaining as the streaker. I went to the game with my father and we got separated in the darkness (no he wasn't the streaker). I was on the concourse in the outer fotward pocket at the Jacksons Rd end when I ...

Re: Kent

He kicked that goal that he opted to do a set-shot snap from virtually directly in front on the open side for his left foot, but what a weird option. I'm glad it went through, but that decision was reminiscent of Lonie's weird brain-fade left-foot banana set shot against Adelaide on only a 30° angle...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 21 2021

I'm still not sure we can win this, given our failure to run out many games and Sydney's motivation to win and move into the top four if Port keep losing to the Crows.
Ironically our accurate kicking, particularly by Higgins, is keeping them at arm's length so far.

Left field ruck option for 3022

Does anyone remember who rucked for us in our comeback win against West Coast in round 4? Two players nullified Nic Nat that day, an underdone Rowan Marshall and a back-injury hampered Jake Carlisle! Clearly Carlisle's days as a KPP are almost over, sue to his lack of agility, but his sherr size and...

Re: Who would you trade?

If fit and it's a big IF, I would keep Carlisle, Hannebery, Geary and Frawley as all are still good enough to play at AFL level. Ross, Dunstan, Billings et all are all tradeable, with Billings worth a 2nd rounder, Dunstan a 3rd and Ross a 4th. Lonie, Kent, McKernan and Hunter must be delisted and Ro...

Coffield for Clark (injured). Clavarino for Howard (injured). Bytel for Byrnes (Crouch lucky to stay in, but Byrnes was worse). McKenzie for Kent. Joyce for Highmore (he wasn't right to play either, just like Clark). We need to play younger playets, including those that we need to make calls on on t...

Re: Dunstan on Suns radar

Dunstan is more likely to move back to Adelaide, due to their weak midfield and cap space. He would still be on the fringe at Port as their midfield is deeper. The lure of coming home is very strong for unloved players. It is probably also strong for King, but the big difference is that he is much l...
