Why don’t we just recruit another ruckman and get Marshall to play forward permanently? Could the ruck be where the club see him mosty playing. Probably. Just throwing around ideas. Gee if Ben is keen to play mostly ruck then it could he a master stroke. The big question is, is he any good as a ruc...

But it doesn’t matter, I’ll be happy as long as we win our last game.

It's settled, you are in charge of counting.

My shopping list goes: Jye Caldwell Alex Witherden Charlie Constable or Riley Collier Dawkins (why not both?) Luke Parker (will settle for Shaun Higgins) Midfield transformed, yet still youthful. Witherden helps Clark (and to a lesser extent, Coffield) move up the ground a little more. Luke Parker ...

Big chance we will have Paddy Mac back next year too. I wonder if it's a COVID-19 impacted strategy to stockpile gun Tall forwards that will cost us nothing and then use them to trade with over the next few years. It's a strategy GWS has used successfully and Gubby is now with us. I also wonder if K...

Maybe I might go back and dredge up some of your posts regarding racism and your outdated views on the indigenous. It's becuase of your views on racism that I have you on foe. I suggest you put me on foe too. Be my guest & dig up my posts regarding racism and my outdated views on indigenous peo...

Tim Membrey may be another option.

It could well be Sebby who is our next Captain.

This will be a massive test for our on field leadership. Players like Billing's will need to be up to the task, there's no room for bruise free footy in finals. Agree. Similarly - I'd very much like to see our forwards throw their weight around - in particular Battle and Kent. Wouldn't at all be un...

I recon the Journos have already decided on the cooky cutter template they will pull if we lose, "Saints Finals Pretenders". Only win 3 games in final 10 weeks to finish disappointing season that started so promising...and so on. We need a win or this seaon will be a bust. How do you get ...

If we don't beat the Dogs then it really has been a disappointing finish to the year and means we will have only won 3 games in 9 matches. Win against the Dogs and we might have turned a corner. We will be favorites against the Dogs and I expect a win. After that who know what can happen but we are...

Bit going on in this thread. I tend to agree on one point, Max's 'technical flaw'. My opinion, in contests too often his hands are over his head not in front of his eyes. Apologies for interrupting the action. It's a thing for sure. When you watch him in slow motion on the replays his eyes lose con...

This is the thing we need to get our head around, we fell into the finals with 10 wins and 7 losses in a much shorter season. If this was full strength competition we would be 2 or 3 games short of securing a finals berth Now I'm no Stephen Hawking, but 10 wins from 17 matches is around a 59% winni...

so my footy knowledge has been diluted a Certainly hoping for your sake it wasn't post the below gems as it would be pretty difficult to go below SFA :wink: Not sure why King would be in the team for round 1, he's going to need a few games at Sandy first and earn his way to the AFL grade, he probab...

we’d be INSANE not to give him a go we can only lose by not backing him in this is like a ben cousins moment on repeat roll the dice chickenhearts Couldn't agree more Gaz. The talk of the club showing interest in Ben Brown is intriguing too. I'm wondering if that is more about stockpiling for futur...

I will drive Jack there
Anyone would Taranto is a jet and what we need

I'll pay for the fuel.
