Marshall and Coffield the positives. Negatives: Obviously skills and ball movement - no real improvement from last week Marshall is being developed incorrectly - he will always be undersized at AFL level, so develop him as a key forward who can pinch hit in the middle, not the other way around. Smas...

This. We’ll beat Collingwood. But thats all.

Out: Armitage, White, Wright
In: Steele, Gilbert, Battle

Billings and Gresham are the cream, not the engine room.

Their ability to impact the result will always be affected by what’s happening up the ground.

Teams change their emergencies all the time - have a read of Patrick Keane’s twitter feed. Geelong seem to do it every week.

Just replace one of the emergencies with Battle tomorrow morning, then replace Membrey with Battle pre-game.

Correct as of right now, but if we go out and knock off the Crows, then it looks like junk journo hyperbole.

Let’s give things a few weeks to see if the Roos performance was the rule or the exception.

Thank god the Doggies are having a nightmare start, takes a bit of the heat away from us.

5. Carlisle
4. Geary
3. Steven
2. Webster
1. Acres

Around 35k

No doubt it would be higher if we were playing the Doggies, which will probably happen next year.

Shouldn’t it be RoMa??

Round 1 Vs Lions NO Saints cited Robinson was charged with striking St Kilda's Seb Ross during the fourth quarter at Etihad Stadium http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-26/bans-for-mitch-and-mason-pies-staging-fine Fair enough too, was a dog hit. Hopefully there’s better footage, but I saw it at the ...

Thought things were pretty good today.... Liked the fireworks as the team ran out Having Kosi as ground MC was a great move Even though they used the new recording of the song, there’s barely any difference to the old version. None of that “Make Some Noise” garbage LED signage around the ground seem...

And if you need some perking up before the season starts, I saw these stats yesterday and felt better about our place in the world: Under 25, in our Best 25: Newnes 25 Ross 24 Longer 24 Webster 24 Membrey 23 Dunstan 23 Sinclair 23 Billings 22 Acres 22 Steele 22 McCartin 21 Lonie 21 White 21 Gresham ...

Some thoughts: 1) Play on the ball in a wet/bad weather slog and get/use/prevent others getting the ball well? Armitage 2) Really stick it to Dusty Martin, Ablett and generally shut down the super skilled opposition runners in perfect sunshine? Ross (when he towelled up Danger) and Koby Stevens in r...

On a side note I'm seriously worried about our membership base and what we are doing as a club to attract and obtain members. When we're struggling on field, your marketing team really needs to get creative and come up with some new initiatives to gain members. Having a decent website would probabl...

We’re just pushing up the price to squeeze Gaff out....

Going I presume.
Unfortunately.

Going. Whole complex will be new. Demolition starts after Easter.

Why do we do this to ourselves.....

Nothing wrong with making White take the long road - we had the exact same conversations about Acres over the last couple of years and Blake looks ready to really take a leap forward now. Like it or not, we're still in a stage where we need to be developing our talent so they can become the best pla...

Lets see if that's still the attitude when we're sitting in 12th spot come August..... But seriously, there's a bit of "loser talk" in that article. At one point it says "we haven't been on the bottom of the ladder as long as some other teams". If that's the attitude our coaching...

Positives: 1. Clark and Coffield - as top 10 picks there's no doubt they can play footy, but their ability to get involved in the contest and show composure was pleasing. 2. Paddy - survived the game, got on the end of a few. Will quickly become a real focal point of our attack, just has that presen...

From all reports, Lonie has given himself every opportunity to have a breakout year.

If its ever gonna happen, it will be this season. I hope a lot of the posts in this thread look stupid come the end of the year....

Pretty sure Longer was involved in the match sim the Saints website posted yesterday. If that was him in the footage, he looked pretty lean and fit, maybe we’ve been foxing all along??
