Re: Liam Henry

He doesn't have that goal freek-ness that a lot of indigenous have. He is a runner. Much better out on wing. Off half back. Speed and run. He doesn't seem to get in the right spots for goal snaps. Maybe Ross is hoping that he can use his speed and agility. I just don't think the goal hunger and raw ...

Re: Stolen by corrupt umpiring again

Centre bounces were not recalled when they went Brisbane's way. Recalled when it was to our benefit.
Agree with the above. They got some very ordinary ones (Rowan's block, Wilkie's out of bounds) .
Always in the forward line. Gifted a few goals

Good luck.

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.

Re: Set Shot Routine solved - for $4

Yep. Max. When you are 25m direct out in front. What is the optimum number of spins and swirls for the ball. Should the ball be held on a 75 degree angle to the left or right? Does it change if you are 35m out? I know it changes when you are 40m out and further as the spins and swirls disappear. Jus...

Re: Ross Lyon you do my head in

The biggest issue I see with Ross game style is the lack of a Riewaldt player. King is Kosi. He is not riewaldt. Ross game plan requires a big presence around centre half forward. Otherwise the ball movement stagnates. This is what is happening . Saints can't score as the ball movement breaks down.

Webster is still OK. Certai ly there is worse on the saints list.

Joe Biden moves better than Membrey. He is cooked.
Need to get Crouch in for Ross asap. Need to keep Ross around as Clarke is made of bone china and he is sitting in that shop with a bull in it.

Re: ..at the risk of positivity ..

Basket cases don't get free agents. If they do they have to pay massive overs, which in turn disenfranchise current players.
Eg trying to pay $1.3m to Weitering and letting Battle go. For peanuts.

Windhager has been OK this year but not as good as last year. Others have dropped off far more than he has therefore has probably run a bit under the radar. He has been OK and deserved his spot. But not a standout. Last year he was doing tagging roles and run with roles. This year not so much. Today...
