Re: win banked and move on
In order to develop, young players need to feel confident in themselves and their teammates. Perpetually tanking for the possibility of doing a little better in the draft lottery works against those goals. I know that praising GT only risks fuelling the unquenchable wrath of Teflon, but GT’s greates...

Re: Sandringham V North Melbourne
I think it’s obvious to anyone who knows just a little bit about the caper that Sharman will be an integral part of our side Integral in what position? Certainly not as a forward. He has played 7 AFL games this season for 4 goals. He can't even hold his place in the forward line, being moved down b...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
How bad is Clark's knee? Could be the end of his career and sadly reflects our draft recruiting over the years. Our 2 top 10 draft picks from that year no longer at the club, both with potential and both cruelled by bad luck and injury. That's right. Our recruiters should have an ability to predict...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
Curious if anyone who watches the games thinks Arie is close? Personally I feel like he has a lot to work on defensively, seems almost allergic to tackling or pressure of any kind, and his stats belie his actual performance a bit I reckon. Note this is a not a knock on him long term, just a reflect...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
Yes, Sharman good in defence. Paton perhaps even better. Our midfield has dropped away. Dow has faded badly: will need more weeks at VFL level before he should seriously be considered for our first team. If anyone is going to be elevated ont today's form so far, it would be Jones, Paton or possibly ...

BTW, is Sharman injured too? He seemed to disappear off the radar in that second quarter.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
Good first quarter for the Zebras 45-20. And all three Kangas goals were from dubious umpiring decisions: the first coming after a dubious free kick in the ruck contest, the second after an "over the shoulder" tackle that wasn't, and the third after Greenwood of the Kangas manhandled O'Co...

It's not the Saints, it's Sandringham and it's a joke. Can we please, please get our own reserves side anytime soon. I'd be buggered if I can see how that would help. The Kangaroos reserves side looks like a joke to me. The fact that we aren't 50 points ahead at half-time is also a joke, but it's n...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
Can someone please explain to me how a 6 goal quater can go for more than 34 minutes?
Umpiring, timekeeping all really substandard at VFL level.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Kangas
Hopes for 150 points by full time have been dashed by a terrible second quarter.
Jones our best player so far.

Re: Players who can land a set shot
Hats off in particular to Wilson, Hayes and Sinclair (who I would still prefer to see playing in the backline, but his two goals made up for it to some extent). Did we miss Higgins at any stage last night? Def missed Higgins...he could've banged 2-3 through and that allowed Sinclair to add to the t...

Re: Crab watch
Billings had a reasonable game for three quarters last night, setting up a couple of goals and helping to save one or two in defence. But he also produced one of the worst set shots on goal that I have seen in a long, long time. He's lost all of his confidence when kicking on goal: he looks like som...

Re: Byrnes, Bonner Not up to it..
I have been negative about both all season. However, there is far more upside to Bonner than Byrnes, who is just one of those low-skilled players who run around all over the place and tries his guts out. Sort of like Bradley Hill without the skill. Bonner has grown on me. He makes some mistakes unde...

Owens was being molested Umpires put the whistle away when we are concerned A defender, I think it was Wilkie, was held before the Roos' last goal. Also, earlier on, the umpire pushed the mark for Simpkin about 5 metres closer towards the goal than where he marked the ball. However, this was partly...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos
Re the game. I think we're doing well given our relatively weak midfield and how many changes we've had to our lineup lately. Apart from Hayes, I've been really impressed with Windhager and Wilson. And Hill and NWM are a great combination. And, as the commentators have pointed out, Howard has belied...
