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 ...

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

He won’t be low balled He will get an offer as to what we believe he is worth Probably 700k would be my guess, definitely my ceiling You don’t overpay Unless it’s a proven match winner The Weitering offer would be in his mind - size of the offer - value they place on his position. - fact that the s...

Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience. Very very happy to deal Membrey would be good for them actually Ross too - excellent leadership, durability, low kms …sign here C...

Good luck.
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.

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...

Drafting is recruiting like.any business Resumes are prepared, read and scaled. Once the recruitment is done the employees skills are put where they best fit. Short coming are upskilled. Employees.need.to want to be developed.and coached. Some will some won't. Some employees skills and personality w...

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.

LOL

Kng is no race horse. Nor is he a Clydesdale I am afraid there is no way someone can hook up the saints band wagon to King and expect a great outcome.

Saints have been banging the drum about war chests and putting massive deals in front of players that would take battles spot.
Massive in terms of years and wage. 7 @$1.3m ?

Clearance tackles are a dime a dozen Ruck taps it down Opponent gets hands on it and you wrap them up - they are important but nothing like a run down tackle If this is all Phillipou is getting it is a worry. It means he is still second to the ball. Writing was on the wall at the start of the year ...

He’s a beast at VFL level and just man handles opposition Doesn’t have that size advantage at AFL level And is actually a D Grade AFL player There is a massive gap between AFL and VFL. The inside mids are very good at reading where the ball is going. It is why rucks are under valued. How often are ...

Marshall is NOT a forward

No. Not at all.
However not sure why he isn't used similar to Mason Wood last week. Would be a very hard match up.

Campbell is a one dimensional dinosaur ruckman. Can't afford.to carry him. Saints need.to put.more.time into Caminiti to make him at least competitive when he is in the ruck. Membrey is done. Saints need someone to put more pressure on to keep the ball in. Caminiti and King get rebounded against fas...

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.

Get a shot at goal from 40m out.... does the game plan state kick it to a player with3 opponents instead of just kicking the goal.

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.

King cannot mark above his head. His shoulder is so shot he doesn't have any faith in even putting his arm up to compete. Yes we did better without him up there. But that was not a long term solution. I am a mason wood fan. But he is not a long term key forward. I think even he would agree with tha...

Windy absolutely got into Harley's head which resulted in the Wilson brain fade.

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...

Bonner to hit more than one target for the game
King to take a mark above his head.
Saints to go coast to coast for the first time since .... last year?
Saints to be the first team ever to get the best of the Umps in the West.
Saints kick enough junk time goals to pinch it.after the siren.

Although a double tag team of Pettracia and Oliver might be a reasonable proxy.
Go Hammer!

Ohh.. looking forward to the young guns battle it out

Harey. V. Caminiti

Winner takes all.... (donations accepted.to help move Caminiti West)

Ben hasn't really been doing that much better.
2024 averages.
Max. 11 disposals Ben 8
4.4 marks. 3.8
1.5. Goals. 2.9.

More goals. Far more opportunity

The last thing we need is wet weather. Our game plan revolves around handballing to stationery players preferably facing the wrong direction for a 1-2 back to the player that now has 3 opponents and hasn't actually moved since the original handball. Then when it does eventually move forward kicking ...
