What happened?

If Crouch wasn't fit for last match, why was he selected?

Good to see Jones and Sincs back.

Garcia a better option for Sub.

His second half was good, and finished the game sprinting from one end to the other. Super fit.

Spot on

Agree with OP You can't just play him on potential. Should have been dropped last year. If we're worried about dropping him before he re-signs, than that shows weakness at selection. Should not be in the middle rotation yet, HFF is his go. Maybe 5 mins on the ball once he has shown he can compete. H...

5 Marshall
4 Steele
3 Membrey
2 King
1 Wilson - well done kid

Why is it so hard to play Sharman as a forward???

Wow! Playing the kids , for sure.
Great first round side. Very exciting.

Ross determined to work with the emerging talent with an eye to 2026 Flag.

You could tell, he was never going to play round 1.
Hopefully in for Round 2.
Go Bonner!!

Not sure I've seen a player that I've been so certain he will play 200 games for us, before even playing 1.

We're a fair chance, they are the weakest they have been in 15 years. We're on the way up.

Saying that, I expect them to start favourites.

I'm not sure Phillipou is a walk up start for best 22.

Saw nothing in preseason to suggest he demands a spot.

I think he's fighting it out for spot 22/sub

Wilson already better.

Unsighted....no heat from Billings whatsoever

I think we should remember that Jimmy is a heart and soul Saints veteran. He has made a mistake and will pay the penalty Was one of our best on ground before that incident, and should win his spot back in a few weeks.

Yeah that’s an interesting last comment. I strongly suspect that had Pou not been from SA that he would have been dropped late in the season last year, as I just didn’t think his output warranted remaining in the team, but I don’t think they wanted to give him the slightest reason to consider going...

I'm flabbergasted that people (and the AFL) could argue it was accidental.
When leave the ground, surely the responsibility lies upon you as to where you land....in this case, right on Bradshaw's head.

Happy to fly under the radar.
Damien Barrett is the one I want to see choke on his cornflakes if we can push for top 4.
The only thing that matters is how we actually play and where we finish up.. .pundits have zero effect.

I am old. That is good and bad. Let’s focus on the good. Unlike many of you, I experienced our footy team winning a premiership. Not just reading about or listening to the recollections of old timers. To experience the joy of it. To see Alan Jeans embrace Barry Breen. Seeing the player celebrations...

True but it’s not their main goal

Yes but Alan Joyce excelled at it

I remember now. How f***ed....sadly many seem to be regressing back to that attitude

What did McAlister do?

Get thee behind us Satan

I think the impact of a coach is massively overrated Good players play well, poor players don’t I also don’t think coaches make players, but players certainly make coaches!!! The culture around effort, excellence and team first is created by the coaching group and club leaders. Someone like Isaac i...

Would that be regarded as a demotion for Lenny or simply a different role?

Love to see him cement his spot in the F50,
Very smart player, a real footballer
