Re: Something changed

Wonder if Schenmaker could play at CHF? Word is he's a bit loose as a defender, but he's about the same height as Riewoldt, he can mark and can kick. Who knows. I wouldn’t rule it out at this stage of his career. Way too early to pigeonhole him as solely a defender who gets lots of kicks off half b...

Re: Windhager

Did good. Neale is multiple B'low winner, never fumbles, finals experience, strong as, low cog so keeps feet. Neale showed his class but Windy made him earn everything really toughed it out, was targeted by other Lions, eg Dunkley. Really like Marcus' style, guts and skills. I see Neale referred to...

Re: Schoenmaker

Kid’s a star in the making and one of many pluses in a development year. It will be interesting to see how he develops and how the club makes the most of his talents, including the booming left-foot kick. For instance, is he destined for the wing, where he can launch attack after attack? I’d prefer ...

Re: Something changed

Our game plan against Brisbane, especially after quarter time just seemed different. Was there a difference, and if so how do the Saintsational experts explain this difference? We had Campbell in the Ruck, and we won a lot of clearances, certainly a lot more that usual, but I'm not so sure that was...

He will need it.
Hipwood and Daniher will be a handful. Webster and Howard out he will need to take one. Battle to be the floater.

Can't be used as a sub. He is not versatile enough.
Cordy will get one of them maybe

A couple of those are the modern equivalents. As close as you’ll get to enforcers.

Re: RTB finger on the pulse

Let's not forget Owens, who is not given much of a go in the middle We saw glimpses of it on Saturday, which was encouraging. Couple of times where he burst clear from the middle and went long and direct with the kick. I’d like to see it more often, but am not holding my breath. He’s a very powerfu...

Re: Ross Lyon tactics

They are yet to get close to winning away Except against us Talent is only one measure Lance Collard has lots of talent I’ve seen glimpses of it the couple of cameos he’s played. It can’t be easy for a young kid away from home for the first time. Let’s hope he can fulfill his ability with the Saints

Would be a massive scalp for us, but I doubt we can hold them to 49 points. We need to find some goals. It will come, but maybe not for a little while yet.

Re: Out Membrey In Campbell

If we had two Marshalls, I wouldn’t hesitate to play one of them forward. Our opponents wouldn’t be able to put so much scragging work into King. Sadly we have only one, so we’ll have to find other solutions.

Re: Ross Lyon you do my head in

I don’t want to be too critical because we won against a pretty good team and our defensive game was fantastic. Also, it was largely a battle of defences with both well on top. However, it’s painful to watch and so frustrating when we dominate large swathes of the game and can’t see the rewards. Not...
