He needs to coached to watch the ball onto his boot.
But when was the last time a coach ever coached.

[quote="st_Trav_ofWA"][quote="OLB"] There is absolutely nothing stopping a player, under instruction or not, from taking a key player out of commission before the opening bounce of a crucial game. Grand Final - Mark Yates (Geelong) runs through Dermott Brereton (Hawthorn), off th...

1997 Footscray versus Hawthorn Nick Holland (Hawthorn) giving Chris Grant (Footscray) a football lesson. Holland (Hawthorn) only man in position to mark. Grant (Footscray) makes front on, fake attempt to spoil, knocks Holland out cold, right in front of the umpires - no report. With Holland out for ...

Umpires can't get it right when the penalty is only a free kick, what hope would they have with players taking dives to get an opponent sent off. Remember Gehrig was reported for striking the lying, cheating, scumbag, skunk, Wanganeen down in Tassie. Wankerneen took a dive and the umpire, out of pos...

[quote="kaos theory"]Coaching Changes - It takes time for the new styles and approaches to bed in. IMO we had a fair bit of upheval in the caoching dept last yr. We have a slightly better coaching approach now, just need to see how it gels through the year and into next yr. [/quote] Agreed...

Average player payment is a little under $1,000 per possession. Your criticism is valid they are supposed to be professionals. Kicks off balance or under pressure may be excusable but not set shots from close in. The only problem with your remedy is we would have a team of 22 times Luke Ball. "...

McGuire will never play - all Eddie can do is talk, talk, talk.
Now Maguire, he is the real deal when it comes to football.

Hurricane, don't you know that drinking Carltank will make you vomit.

AFL members? Better known as AFL dupes. AFL gold members or dupes were supposed to have guaranteed access to grand finals whereas silver members were like restricted dupes with access to everything except the grand final. Silver were waiting patiently their turn to become gold. Did I say dupes? Yes ...

Whooppee doo! Andrew Demetriou is hoping to make 5,000 more seats available for club members at the AFL grand final in a two years time. http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/push-for-5000-more-grand-final-tickets/2008/04/10/1207420592428.html The MCG has a capacity of 98,000. The Melbourne Cricket ...

The Kangaroos, Doggies and Saints got bad deals but Collins looked after his Carlton. When he negotiated Carlton's deal he represented both Carlton and Telstra Dome and he knew exactly what deals other clubs had.

Footballers are just big kids who never grew up.

[quote="St DAC"]All defenders do that stuff. It's up to the umpires top sort it out. And for Gehrig to get on his bike and bloody move! When he's done well on Scarlett he's been a leading forward, not a goal-square wrestling forward. See R1 2004 for example.[/quote] Gehrig has done well ag...

Have the selectors ignored form and instead selected the team they hope to select for that last Saturday in September to play this same opponent.
(Baker to replace L. Fisher and M Gardiner to come in as second ruckman)
Are they trying to see how players match up.

[quote="saint66au"]Just spoke to Telstra Dome, who have advised that ........ Including Medallion Club seating (which they count as sold already!), 41,000 tix have been sold for the game so far.] Telstra Dome also count Access One Premium seats as sold already regardless of whether the sea...

IT IS CALLED BULLDOGGING.

Aka was flashing
All Sir Robert did was make Aka decent again.

Aka should get rubbed out because Baker went for kicking out when Alessio crushed his ankle.

You need to be a whisker fitter than the Bulldogs and Geelong - and that is just possible.

Did Dempster and Jones play the full game or were they taken off at half or three quarter time.
If they were taken off early they may be in line for selection against Geelong.

No, but Rodney Eade does.
Eade claimed he knew Michael Gardiner was not going to play.
So he went small when he brought in Harbrow to replace Eagleton

Clearly he got this reliable information right here from Saintsational .com

38,000 but there was hardly any room left in a ground that can hold 55,000. So much of Telstra Dome is given over to season long club or AFL reserve seating and worst of all full fixture based reserved seating. Did anyone see more than a handfull of spectators in the Medallion club reserve on level ...

That was supposed to be our best 22 minus Maguire and Baker. Ouch!

Riewoldt is not a WWF wrestler. He can not stand close to goal and fight for the mark. He and Gehrig get their marks by leading. That means players have to make space for him to lead into. They do that by moving away from him. If their opponent fails to follow, (zoning off) they should move further ...

My sister who rarely sees a match (she has a soccer family) pointed it out to me - Doggies consistently brought the ball into attack down their right wing, our left wing, and had great success. I could not work out who were our weaknesses down that side, the only player who was consistently in the a...

Slackening off of intensity 43 years of watching the Saints and it is still the same old problem. Get in front on the scoreboard means we can slacken off. How often have you seen St Kilda well in front and win the last 10 minutes of a match - never in 40 years I think. Good teams get in front and go...
