Re: Sack Lyon

Re: King ...out of form or

My thoughts are not a Kingy bashy sooky point of view. I really like Max. I reckon he is incredible. We desperately need him. What shitz me is that he HAS the ability, skills and talent. We have watched him play brilliantly. The excuses need to be weighed and given some merit...e.g. ball movement f...

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal

Seconds after Saints fans experienced a brief moment of satisfaction when Marshall's Herculean effort to touch the ball as it crossed the goal line was rewarded with a cancelled goal, Bonner took the kickout and Hill failed to mark, resulting in an easy Freo goal. I've said previously that both Bon...

Re: King ...out of form or

Ive refrained from calling Max a bust...however his gutless, passionless effort tonight was insipid. But who cares? We cant drop him! We'd never survive without his 3 marks & 1 behind. Harsh. He moved much better, saw some green shoots. Honestly, no one could play forward with the way the ball ...

Re: Who will win and why Gws vs SAINTS

The difference will be our pressure. Last game we brought the heat, they over handballed or long bombed a kick and we got the turnover. Members back is massive for our structure, also chito was killing it before getting subbed out . We should expect to win but if we allow them to execute their skill...

Re: Shafted but also not

According to an article in the Roar, if all teams played each other just the once ( as they should for fairness), we would have finished 5th. Carlton would have been 9th.

Re: How's Paddy?

Paddy is a human being trying to do what he wants to do in life. Everyone knows his journey so if sympathy and perhaps general concern about his welfare isn't your go, then I'm sure basic respect as a middle-ground sentiment shouldn't be that hard to reach... It's not so much about respect but for ...

Re: Does Hayes get another year .

Think this may maybe our year to trade someone of value to get something of value. Not sure who but we have a glut of half backs so perhaps a Coff, or JB. Trouble is boths value would be low ATM. Saints are in the market for a ruckman, so that suggests Campbell and Hayes have a question mark on them...

In the first QTR, I was impressed with their leg speed. Made me think RTB, might roll the dice with Peris next week. Peris is way off the pace. Looks average at VFL level. I agree 100%. But RTB has talked him up a few times now and given his limitations I, wondered why. So my conspiracy theory is h...

Assuming Bytel is fit, it would be a concern for his career if he isn't seen as a logical replacement for Steele as an inside mid.
Would like to see if he can make the grade.

Excellent inside work, beautiful hands. I still noticed on a few occasions he was happy to jog rather than sprint to do something defensively.
