Couldn't agree more.
I don't want him to become a leading tackler as that is not his strength , but still has to apply some sort of pressure.

No reason why we can't bounce back.
We bounced back after the Freo loss.
We get Jones and Ryder back
The key is how we manage the players during the week to get them physically up for Essendon.

It was a wasted opportunity at the selection table I think.
I would have liked to have seen the likes of Savage, Lonie and Abbott in the team. I know they are not in our best 22 and wouldn't have transformed into a win, but would have
provided fresh legs and given a few other players a break.

I thought they might have rested King this week and bring him back against Essendon, but since he s playing , I wonder if they will use him as a decoy , and maybe lead to the pockets , taking out 2 defenders, and using Membrey , Marshall or Battle as the central targets instead (along with the crumb...

Absolutely shattered by the news. Loved him as a player and leader of our club He was probably the first captain I looked at as a true leader of the club since I started supporting them in the early 70s. My wife (who is not a footy head like me) ran into him once and spoke to him a few years ago whe...

Marshall
Battle
Clark
Acres
Long

Yep,, He would have been a perfect match up on Tom Lynch today.

Last year I couldn't work out how they could fit all 3 ( Smith, Stringer and Saad) into their salary cap.
So, how the hell do they fit Shiel in?

Excellent , Thanks for that.

Hey there,
My son and I are both members (just general) and planning to get there around 2.30 today. Any idea where the better GA seating is?
I assume it's all level 3. And I want to be amongst Saints supporters of course.

I think Ty is on a good wicket with his tennis playing wife.

And Hawthorn had won their last 19 games in Tassie until last week.

Round 13 2006 at Etihad by 70 points was another useful win.
I was at that game and Hawthorn were insipid that day. We should have won by 100+ but we took the foot off the pedal in the last quarter and they scored 5 junk goals.

Love it when our INs tear it up.

Round1: GoldCoast

Acres - doesn't look like a rookie anymore. He looks like he belongs.

A few weeks ago I heard Tom Hickey talk about him in an interview on SEN. He mentioned Richo's plan to use him as a defensive forward, and this was either just before he got back into the team, or had just had his first game back. He referred to Wright and Weller as the basher brothers. So I think f...

Bruce will come into his own again when Paddy establishes himself in the side.

and we kicked 20.15 against Melbourne in Rd 6.

He was good the first 2 weeks too. I think he's really stepped up.
I always feel safe when he has the ball in hands

Would love to see him in too, but who out of today's midfield would you drop?

Montagna
Billings
Newnes
Steven
Weller

With apologies to Hickey. Ross, Dunstan and Savage

And Gilbert was playing with one arm in the last quarter.

We are seriously back in the game now.
I wish we could stop giving our opposition head starts each week.

I don't have foxtel, can anyone tell me where Shenton is playing?
