I'm not a fan of umpire #2 Nick Foot
I am not a fan of Nick Foot either as many on here would know, but his decisions over the last season or two have at least been a bit more balanced if still erratic.

Fingers crossed he is at least fair this Saturday

Re: Bedford misses

Gerard Whateley has spent a lot of time last 2 nights on AFL 360 lobbying VERY hard for Bedford to be cleared.

I presume he has been doing the same thing on SEN. Will not let it go.

Quizzing RTB about it and Kingsley showing replays of the vision over and over.

Re: EX-SAINTS OF THE LAST DECADE AT OTHER CLUBS

Agree with all of this.

Perhaps to me the biggest mistake was giving Acres away (along with 2 high draft picks).

He obviously to me had up side to come.

Also Dal Santo huge mistake.

Sinclair Rated number 1 by Champion Data for 2023

Jack Sinclair has topped the ranking for the second season in a row with Champion data. To quote “It’s his ball use that just completely sets him apart.” Let's just hope that the umpires start to notice him more when casting Brownlow votes this year. Yes I have backed him again. Last year at 1000-1,...

All three deserving as is NAS but unlikely they name three Saints half-backs.

Re: Final V GWS Friday night (Sportsbet said) but now Saturday 3.20pm

I'm not sure that I would put it in terms of the AFL screwing us. But I do think it's odd that 6 of the teams playing finals could have had games at their home ground (although Sydney and the Giants won't because of where they finished) and 2 (Carlton and us) can't. Kardinia Park is clearly too sma...

Re: That's a win in my book

If we had lost by another 10 points or more we would be playing GWS in Sydney this week, so from a ladder point of view, almost as good as a win.

although if Carlton still lose, we would be playing Sydney instead of GWS at the MCG

Last week's wrong decision by the goal umpire in Adelaide is really looking bad for us now.

It is going to cost us a home final.

meher baba wrote: Sat 26 Aug 2023 8:32pm And if Sydney wins and GWS wins by 7 goals, then we get to play Carlton at the MCG. And I think we'd be in with a pretty good chance in that game. So nothing to get too bothered about IMO. TBH, I reckon GWS is the team I'd be least keen on us having to play ATM.
Not going to happen.

Re: Sub Ryan Byrnes

I thought he was good, especially in the third quarter. If King and Ross are fit in two weeks time, I think he misses out, as does one of Sharman and Hayes: possibly Sharman. Clark to be the sub again. Clark had only 53% game-time today. There must be a doubt about his fitness or he is carrying an ...

GWS Would Need to Win by 7 Goals

Saints will stay clear of GWS provided they don't win by more than seven goals against Carlton following the Saints 12 point loss today.

This seems unlikely.

Now we just need Melbourne to beat Sydney to get a home final

Excellent program. Some progress has been made in recent years although not enough.

Re: 'We want to get to finals playing really good footy': Sinclair previews Round 24

Sincs comes across as the very intelligent person he is, as his on-field smarts shows so often. I disagree with the comment that "he's turned into a really good footballer". He has shown he is a good footballer from his very first practice match as a few of us realised. Unfortunately the m...

Demons unlikely to be flat out against the Swans as they know they are firmly placed in fourth place whatever their result. Though if Swans beat Melb, then they draw level on points. If GWS have a good win against them, Swans could possibly slide above them just as GWS can slide above us. If Swans ...
