Both building to full game tanks
Clark was also being checked for a collision by our medical staff during the game. So that will have cost him some TOG.

Re: Two Prong Attacks?

Two Big good forwards are nice.

Pies won a flag without one true big forward.

We need to improve our midfield, that is the key.

This narrative that he is going to leave for less money is a classic saintsational.net story. No chance of that happening. I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean less money than St Kilda, but he may not take the biggest offer from another club. ie North are evidently the highest bidders, then...

It only makes sense IF he generates Band 1 Compo, and that is not at all certain. If not, we gain a pick that may or may not be as good as Battle and who will be raw. Whomever Battle plays for you know he will play very well for many years. There is a huge assumption that Battle will go only tilla c...

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF

I would pay Pou on Half back line it would allow him to get his hands on the ball build confidence and he would have a lot of experience around him. Its about decision making as he has a big kick he could really turn into a weapon there. Once he gets confidence back move him to where ever coaches w...

Re: Darcy Wilson

Our most impressive first year player since Rooey ? Rooey only played 6 games in his first year,. Wilson's first 8 games are more impressive that Rooey's first 6. Wilson could well play every game this year given his current form, and so as most impressive first year player as a measure is likely t...

Re: Moving the magnets

All great points sRr. One worth dwelling on is: Can Shoenmaker become a genuine CHB and take the 2nd tall forward? I think not in his first 20-30 games at AFL level but that should be the goal. Height is overrated from key defenders. We trust Wilkie at 191cm to take on some pretty big forwards. It'...

Re: Arie SCHOENMAKER

Arie doesn’t have the tank or speed for a wing. He’s playing good footy but plays the role of Battle or Wilkie, two of our better and more durable players. Unless he replaces Sharman, in that forward/ back hybrid (nothing) role I don’t see it. I would love to see him get a run and bang a couple of ...

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax

As part of the Tribunal Ruling, Cameron deemed a Good Bloke and gets off as a result!!!!!!!!!!

AFL officially acknowledges that now that they make biased rulings based on their view of the player, and not just the action.

Re: Could we get a selection surprise this week?

As I’ve said before, thank goodness fans don’t pick the side. Thursday’s game is close to being a must win for us and we have fans calling for the selection of unproven and (from what I’ve seen of them) unexciting first year players. Garcia looked like he might be something in the pre-season practi...

The rest of the forwards must understand that they are just as good as King and to present in their own way and not play second fiddle.

Re: Garcia. Great Debut

From inside sources - P hillipou has asked for more time in the midfield to learn the craft. Considerably hard position to learn. Which is probably why some of his games need to be at Sandy where he can play as a mid all game. He came to us a year early, so in some ways one should think of this as ...
