He can get the ball but seems to be a stop and prop player. Won’t take the game on.

Yep, that’s 90% of your job.

They'd lose their job wouldn't they.

They wouldn’t in this day and age. And they shouldn’t. They are a bit older than players and have probably developed coping mechanisms.

We are not cursed FFS. I can’t stand this woe is us crap that comes from some supporters.

I love it.

I fear we should not expect to see much of Ryder any more. A chronic Achilles at his age will be hard to overcome.

Marshall and Campbell? Marshall and Hayes? I probably prefer the former.

Well done girls. Enjoy the celebration.

I’m starting to feel that NWM needs to play from Round 1. No pressure son.

Fox footy had a season review a couple of nights ago . Joey Mark Robinson and David King reviewed the saints.All said , might go better with some luck but No Finals. If that is general perception of the media / experts then that is more about the cattle than the coach. Age old question is who choos...

You alarm me with your positive attitude to everything.

My son got home from watching the game live. He said we were robbed. He said people all over the crowd were questioning that final 50m penalty. They were unable to work out just what it was for with the naked eye. :roll: Number 8 for St Kilda knocked the ball out of the Giants players hands. 50 met...

Surely nothing less than a finals spot is acceptable and means a new contract. Anything less and we must make a change.

Who does Hayes play like? Anyone. Thanks Hayes moves a bit like Michael Gardiner, loping sort of style but due to his long legs, covers the ground well. As far as playing goes, a more polished version of Jason Blake. Awkward kicking style but hits targets, a great one grab mark and does the team th...

Is it worth keeping a spot vacant for the mid-season draft?

Very enjoyable late afternoon in the sun. Moorabbin is a picture. Love the look of the new stand. Impressed with our recruits, but not sure about Campbell. Pleased to see Long, Sinclair and Webster do well. Owen nearly took the mark of the day. He's going to be a beauty. That balding former Port pl...

I have it for AFL games and also Scottish football. I have become a Celtic fan since Ange took over. Not every Celtic game is shown. Plenty of other sport too. Excellent quality on my iPad.

I hope Battle can make himself into a good long-term CHB, but it's up to him to put the effort in to own that position. This is the year he needs to take a step up. You are right, but he will always be competing against players taller than him and he doesn’t have a great vertical leap. His elite en...

Did he really just call him Missy again?? It was one bloody match. What sh*t names do they eternally give Franklin when he kicks 10 behinds? Do you understand where the name came from. There is an Australian singer named Missy Higgins so it was a no brainer to tag him with that name after that game...

'King returned home to Melbourne last week where he will undergo a knee reconstruction.' And he will be looked after by Mum and Dad and brother Max and all his Melbourne friends. He is ours for the taking. There saying he signed a extension for 2 years No that is the offer from GC. Has been on the ...

Lock him in for CHB. I think Wilkie will play deeper in defence alongside Howard.

from saints.com.au: Up forward, down back or in-between the arcs: that’s the question that’s continually surrounded Josh Battle for the past few seasons. Whether it’s as a powerful link-up forward with a dead-eye kick and sweeping presence higher up the ground, a sturdy backman with an abundance of ...

I wonder what a mentor tells a coach when the team is being eaten alive, such as was St Kilda vs Bulldogs last year. We lost by 111. And we won one stat very comfortably…hit outs!!! We killed it. https://www.espn.com/afl/matchup?gameId=1128062 Fascinating to imagine what the options are in the mids...
