Re: Marshall, Sinclair and Wilkie in 44 man AA squad
Tim English will get the ruck spot and he has had a great year.
Sinclair is a certainty to make it.
Roma may get a gig on the bench but I feel that Wilkie will probably miss out as he is fairly inconspicuous in what he does.

Re: former Saints assistant coach latest appointment
No wonder GWS have done well.
I saw Adam in Sexy Beast and his quarter time sprays must be terrifying.

Re: Sydney will be gifted a win today
Petracca doesn’t give a s*** about this game. That aged well. Ok but cheap shot. Were you watching the game? Yes it was a cheap shot and I did watch the game. It wasn't meant as a mean comment but I did think it somewhat comical that I was reading the comment during the second half of the third qua...

Re: That's a win in my book
It is unfair on Webster to single him out. Charlie tore him a new one but he would have done that to anyone we put on him with the number of forward 50 entries we let them have. If they had kicked straight it would have been a 10 goals loss. We were soundly flogged. We came back at them a bit in the...

Re: Dougle on the market article
Cordy has looked good in the last two games when our midfield has rodgered the opposition mercilessly. He hasn't had to play with a midfield getting flogged which Howard did all year and apart from against Adelaide has not been beaten. I would want a top 10 pick for Howard, good key defenders are ra...

Re: Crows Chairman wants compensation
If you pay Adelaide compensation because of an umpiring mistake, then we should ask for compensation for when they beat us by 52 points earlier in the season. I am sure I could find an umpiring mistake at some point early in the game and can easily argue that I can predict the rest of the game just ...

Re: Road to the Finals

However, the game on the weekend was probably our most complete performance for the year. We were switched on for the whole game and played a strong attacking brand of counter punch ...

Re: Saints on TOP SECRET Irish scouting trip
Category 2 rookies are almost a free hit. They are outside the salary cap and you can carry as many as you wish. Yes, they are low return strategies but they are low risk as well. There have been more misses than hits but that is the same with all rookies.

Re: Zac butters
I would love to get him here but it would be crippling on our development. You would think that Port would want at least two first round draft picks. We are a young side and while a trade for this years first round draft pick would be fine more than that would be indicative of the club thinking we a...

I don't actually care about the win/loss record this year. I care about the style of football we play. We have a coach that plays the most negative brand of anti-football I have ever seen. Everything we do is designed to stifle the oppositions ability to score even if it also stifles ours. The tact...

Re: Self-Flagellation
I am sorry but a mini-rebuild is the issue. A mini rebuild is what you do when you are at the top and just starting to slip because of a few older players not when you are middle of the pack going nowhere. We are in a position where the coach has one of two choices: one go all in saying we should be...

Re: Reality
The issue is with have a game plan that is completely inflexible. When Carlton started getting a run on in the third quarter we went into pure defensive mode (Ross's favored approach) taking the ball as wide as we can and refusing to look inside. That continued into the last quarter when we were cha...

So we cut about 10 experienced players bring in 2 very average players including SOS's own son and 8 kids. At least 4 of those kids will be pick 60 plus so unlikely to ever play a game and we have them for at least 2 years. If we are so desperate to rebuild why wouldn't you try to trade out our olde...

Re: Fans biggest misses
I will admit to thinking Sinclair would become nothing more than a good ordinary player.
I also thought Glen Coghlan and Daniel Healy were going to be stars of the game.

Re: Kid Caminiti
It was stupid by him but didn't warrant a suspension so the correct outcome in the end. However, he did get the kick reversed because of his need to be the big man.
As a player I like him but there is no place for this in the modern game you will never get away with it.

Re: King comparisons
I don't think it is Max's fault that he doesn't gather kicks up on the wing I think it is a coaching directive. When we have the ball our strategy is to bomb it to 20 metres out in front. We did it on the weekend to but Hawthorns defense is deplorable and it meant our forwards had an easy time. I ca...
