Re: Steven

He's actually been getting better all year despite getting tight tags now. If he could hit targets in the fwd 50 better would be icing on the cake. Maybe due to exhaustion which he can improve as he gets older.

Positive out of the negative - the huge pressure these guys have been under ALL YEAR is fast tracking their defensive abilities. Once we can win it out of the middle regularly they can look at being more damaging setting up attacks.

Re: Shenton or Gilbo

I do know lenny is in. righto but seriously - playing a guy who hasnt played in 12 weeks and actually isnt that good anyway (gilbo) over a guy in good form who we want a look at (shenton) has me really questioning our coach. what a joke. The match committee is being conservative with the young play...

Re: saints v swans match thread

Macca does look slow. Hickey doing some nice tap work. Steven - rivalling Rooey for best player at the club now. Great pressure - small ground suiting them- need to keep it up

Re: Ordinary signs

We are in the "fog of rebuild" where its hard for supporters to really appreciate what is going on in the depths of the club - we only see the surface on game days. Like a lighthouse in the darkness, I have faith in Watters shining light (that was more poetic than I meant :oops: )

Re: Dermott's love for watters

Watters has got a cool head on his shoulders. Keeps his eye on at the big picture which all good coaches do. I'm sure players love his clarity and level headedness.

Blake has served his time well. To keep him on, would only keep a young future potential player from being developed.

Re: Give Jones another contract

With all the scheduled retirements at the end of the year I get the feeling they'll keep Jonesy on the list. At the very least he'll be good back up in the squad and a good role model for training. I want to see the young ones force him out of his place in the team though sometime next year.

Re: Some signs

Oh and how good is Roberton? He's a tough nut with ice in his veins - never panics. I almost take him for granted now because he is so consistent. Its nice having a rock solid performer you can rely on in the back half with all the changes.

Re: Some signs

Another good sign was we seemed to play a bit of tempo footy at times, chipping it around with short kicks to cool things down when it looked like spiralling out of control big time. I noticed even Hawthorn seemed to take it down a gear after that. A good tool to have to be able to control a game.

Re: Ordinary signs

In a weird way it may be long term positive that it is obvious to all that we are pretty ordinary and will probably be for at least a 2-3 years. We will have no illusions where we are at. It lets the club focus on a full long term rebuild rather than "we could make the eight...who knows how far...

Re: R we really that far away

Its all relative isn't it.

But I can see some clear development in the young players ability to play contested footy ...

He's a young ruckman getting battered around all year (had a bleeding nose tonight) in a losing team. People should cut him some slack. Been battling a sore foot.
