Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 16 2023
Our midfield are deplorable. How can the coaches keep throwing the same defunct group and not change things up. Lyon is as dumb a coach as Ratten when things arent going our way.

Re: VFL - Sandy v Werribee
A 76 point drubbing really highlighted our lack of skills and how poor we are around clearance. Werribee slaughtered Sandi at ground level and their balls skills were far superior. We all knew the Saints list had holes well today highlighted there is huge 'black hole' as far as midfielders are conce...

Re: Jacob Koschitzke
I was surprised to see Sinclair is 28 yo, I didnt realise he was that old. He is the type of player who could play for another 5 or 6 years at a high level, but it would be nice to be challenging before we lose players like him, Steele, Wilkie etc.

Re: Jacob Koschitzke
I reckon Bytel has been given an offer elsewhere and we know about it. Given that we are likely to pick up Dow from Carlton, I think Bytel papers are stamped. Its a shame that he is so similiar to Crouch and has been injured himself when opportunities arose. Hopefully he does get another chance som...

Losing Lyon will be a loss, but it will give Murphy a chance to find his way for the remainder of the series.

Re: Our midfield
Every good side has a gun midfield Duo. We have nobody in that category right now. It's also part of the reason Geelong have been struggling without Selwood and Dangerfield. Surely these changes would give us a competitive midfield, not for a premiership but we could bat deep into finals. Fit Clark...

Re: Dougal Howard ranked #1
Professional footballers should be able to hit a team mate with a hand ball 5 metres away regardless of the conditions. Howard misses marks, kicks and handballs on dry days so it's not like the weather changes things. He falls over basically everytime he has to change direction quickly, the similari...

Re: Jack Hayes
Agree BM I think we all forget how well he was going before doing his ACL. He and a fit Membrey would make a big difference to our forward line entries. I do wonder if we will ever see Membrey back again given his knee issue? Just allowing Owens to play solely forward/midfield may have helped our st...

Re: Forward line dysfunction
This has been an interesting thing to consider for me. The hot take is that our forward line as a whole has actually functioned quite a bit worse since Max King has come back from injury… this in itself is quite interesting as King himself has actually been quite good minus Friday night. The concer...

Re: Team vs Brisbane
Paton comes in to play on Charlie Cameron, you would think. So Webster goes from back pocket to half back and Sinclair on ball for the game. Lyon spoke about last week's game regarding the way they wanted the mids to position themselves at stoppages and that instructions weren't adhered to. It was ...

SEN article here. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/06/22/steele-not-compromised-but-battling-several-niggles-saints-admit/ Lethlean says he's available and not hampered by injury. If true then it's clearly a form slump. Much more worrying than being injured. I think there is a difference between de...

Kudos to him wanting to give back to his home club, but surely its time he gave his body a rest? He has had some nasty injuries over his time its time to hang up the boots.

Re: Saints v brisbane
Caminiti needs a rest. Steele is playing on one leg. Gresham is out of form. Byrnes had a low impact game. Howard should be dropped if we had a replacement. They are all changes that should be made but we simply dont have the depth to change things too much. Bring in Paton and move Sinclair to a ful...

Totally agree BM - but I think sometimes in footy you make your own luck. We have had some great teams, coaches and administrators but rarely all at the same time. Then when we did we have found ways to self destruct. Perhaps now we have the makings of a great administration, we know we have a very ...
