Did we actually get a free kick in the second quarter? First quarter 4-9 Second. 1=5 Third 4-2 Fourth. 5-4 Total 14-20 It’s the inconsistency The Higgins non free was outrageous, clearly high the umpire looking straight at it Based on the frees to the Carl forwards I look forward to Max King pickin...

Disgraceful non free

Umpiring is completely outrageous

Currently free kicks 14-4

well if steele and membrey aint back, and cami is gone, then i can only see one change. who best takes cami's spotand role? sharman, campbell, or highmore? How about Heath as a wild card to replace the hammer (dependent on Membrey) His form is pretty ok in the Zebs, maybe he would be inspired by wa...

There is no way Paton will be dropped

Do people calling for him to go actually look at the opposition

Carlton forward line apart from the towers is full of small fast forwards (Fisher, Durdin Motlop maybe Owies)

Who is going to play on them?

A bit of perspective. Paton is part of the best defensive unit in the competition. He's behind Webster, but with so many injuries he's a decent replacement. Guys like Coffield and Highmore play a slightly different roles, and I feel that Paton has good endurance running ability, a key ingredient in...

I have an awful feeling of dread over this Takes me back to the Baker disgrace etc I think they will make an example of him (as an unknown player) and he will get 6 weeks The defence should go hard on the fact that Murphy was slipping/sliding/falling and therefore a chest hit became a head hit If yo...

Apart from 91 and 92 we were a pretty ordinary team during Plugger with us. He was an extraordinary footballer. The first 9 games of 1989 he kicked 70 goals ffs. However I believe him leaving was the best thing for him and for the Saints St Kilda were able to develop a side that didn’t rely on 1 pla...

Owens gets held every contest

Free kicks 6-14

Doesn’t help

So Saturday Ben Long (not a great player but wore the RWB with pride) gets booed because he left the club (irrelevant why) Why boo? It’s just completely classless, and don’t come up at me “well I’ve paid my money” or “its all in the theatre” I remember years ago in Sydney (my seats were amongst swan...

Agree with Teflon, Windy to Naicos, Byrnes to Jaicos and Paton to Elliott with help from Stocker. P.S.: Stocker has been an inspired pick up. He wants to play for the jumper and his team mates. Plays like a Ross Lyon. I am not sure Paton is strong enough for Elliott (who is short but plays tallish ...

My understanding is that the decision will be made to either

1 Operate now, weeks out
2 Keep playing and assess after the bye, apparently the injury cannot get any worse

3 Wilkie
3 Wood
3 Crouch
2 Sinclair
1 Hill
1 Higgins
1 Ross
1 NWM

What happened to him this week? My impression was that he was subbed in the third not having had much ball but looking at the stats… 37min game time to that point?! Not a lot of game time. Was he injured? I don’t think he had a great match up (the Ess defence is quite mobile and not huge), also as ...

Likely to be a Bulldog fan unhappy with the performance I think that all reports seem to indicate it was one of our own unfortunately. Wrong. All reports were quotes from our club, feeding the assumption that it was an oppo supporter, i.e. a Saints fan. I saw nothing to suggest it was a Sainter. Th...

Firstly Paton will not be dropped, filth have a few small forwards to watch If fit Webster comes in and I would play Sinclair through the midfield Mason Wood to play forward on Redman (make Redman accountable) Therefore in Windy and Webster Out Steele and either Butler or Higgins (only 1 goal betwee...

Wow

In what regard, because that is a pretty big statement

How did he he do? 7 kicks 2 handballs 6 marks 2 tackles 113 MGs 93% TOG Whereas Harris had 18 kicks 4 handballs 10 marks 2 tackles 429 MGs 100% TOG You'd say probably did his role but who knows. I thought he did well, forget the 12 minutes post blackout, Brisbane before that were sensational There ...

One hour before the bounce

Looks right at home on the big stage

Good luck to him

Was just looking at the list with the injuries, basically i think the fit players we have that did not play last week are: Ross (fitness test, possibly unlikely) Windhager Campbell Sharman Connolly Highmore Van Es Peris Adams Heath Very slim pickings, especially to replace a running defender and a ...

On that performance both Bluescum and the Tuggers will be in the middle of the pack somewhere I wouldn't be banking on them making Finals If their middle of the pack, we're in BIG trouble. :lol: Oh yeah if that is middle of the pack then I am so jealous. Both sides have 3-4 really great players who...
