Re: Concerns over our age demographic

What about the mean/median/mode?

On another note even though Geelong is listed at the top, it seems like having players over 30 has nothing to do with being successful. Maybe just 'has been'.

Re: Looking forward to 2023?

For the first time in years, I am not looking forward to next season.

But then all those other years I was optimistic, look where that got us. So maybe the fact that I am in the pits is a GOOD sign?

What's with all the punching down in the media?

Following the grand final win by the Cats I was surprised to see St Kilda being mentioned on several posts on social media about how terrible we are. Two from 7AFL about Selwood and how he has levelled our finals wins (not mentioned: he has more wins than the Bulldogs). Even random posts of St Kilda...

Re: He's Only 22

If the pressure of kicking straight is too much for this guy, then I don't think this is the role for him.

Imagine hanging on his set shots when we're actually trying to win a final.

Pretty easy rumour to circulate considering the exact same thing happen with TM.

Re: Is Billings a part of the club’s future?

One of the best kicks in the AFL let alone the team. Used poorly and ignored by players that shouldn’t kick the ball. One of the biggest myth’s perpetrated on here is that he’s a beautiful kick. I just shake my head and think, do some even watch the game? His kicks aren’t long, they’re often shallo...

Re: Our Captain

Wow surprised by all the people here blindly defending Steele. There were so many times he missed tackles or just let them slip away, very un-Steele like. Those defending him because he was injured not long ago, sorry, but why are we playing injured players? No wonder we're getting pumped. And fans ...

How the hell did Howard find his way back onto the ground in the 3rd quarter after the injury in the 2nd quarter? They had 30 minutes to test it out and figured he was fine??

Highmore might be the first player that walks from our team for more opportunity and I wouldn't blame him.

Re: What is a "Clutch" Goal ?

For us it's successfully kicking a set shot when it's needed. Unfortunately the rest of our team can't seem to consistently do this.

Has Sharman missed a set shot is the better question.

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers

You telling me Sharman can't get a gig in this side? Has he had a goaless game with us yet? As soon as he came in last year he put the rest of our forward line to shame.

Which were both winnable on our day, we'd be equal top.

The window is open. Learn from these h&a losses and hit top gear a month from now.

Re: Our Third Quarter

Ratts said it I think addressing the players in the rooms a few weeks ago - we play our best when we're UNPREDICTABLE. You'll notice in the 2nd half whenever a player took the game on, they looked like they were going one way, then changed direction. Jones naturally brings this but when you start to...

Re: Selling games!!!!????

I believed in NZ. The trouble was we could never bloody win there. Maybe it was something to explore once we had a stronger side. You can't expect to play there for a decade and build a following by losing every time you play there, even to weak as s*** teams like Carlton.

Re: We will demolish Greater Western Sydney on every line....

Well, of course we should win. But it won't be easy. GWS are very hard at the ball in tight. It'll be a scrap and we probably won't get the freedom of movement that we have seen in recent games. And, in a low scoring game, Greene's ability to make something out of nothing could be important. I'm no...

Re: Jack Hayes - ACL

The AFL has a big problem here. They are about to enter into new negotiations for TV rights which they hope to finalise by the end of the year. And that means it's now too late to do anything about GWS's list before then (they desperately need a decent full forward, if nothing else). It's the AFL's...
