Keep him I’ve gone cold on the Hill deal, we’ll be paying overs and I’m sick to death of us getting screwed over by other clubs at this time of year. Yep, I loved it yesterday when we traded pick 6 but we need to now hold our nerve and make it happen on our terms. 1st round this and a 2nd round nex...

Acres has been deployed in the F50 (including having to contest in the ruck) Plus has been used lining up on the edge of the centre square, so as a wing player for lack of a better description noting Melbourne’s comment that they tried 15 thru that position without success last season and have now ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjARA6_GSm8 Thanks for the video JB. I love how the description says he ‘fits the prototype of the modern midfielder’ yet he has barely played in the middle since. The coaching staff should have developed him into a weapon. I really want to see him have a crack under...

Goddard has the turning circle of the Queen Mary hence deployed as a quarter back If he was so good why was he used in that role and not in the “guts” He was generally a good ball user but his possessions were usually accrued in the spare quarter back role including by demanding the ball as the fre...

You must have missed the 2010 GF? In fact you must have missed the entire 2009/2010 seasons Top Ten player I the AFL in both those seasons with a combined tally of nearly 1400 possessions. Acres doesn’t get a run in the midfield because he isn’t up to it, he’s had 6 years in the system and is still...

Not competitive enough for starters. BJ was a figgin maniac.

Was just pointing out that it took some time for Goddard to realise his potential.

It took years for BJ to realise his potential.

I admit that I am biased, Acres is one of my favourites. Has been for some time. Like TtT says, he has been really important in our wins. One of a select few that looks to advantage. Big bodied plays can take some time. Cripps and Bont are exceptions, not the rule. I know people want instant superst...

I really want to see Acres for one more year under a new coach.

Also not fussed if we don’t get Hill. His highlight package is great, but the don’t think his 4 quarter efforts are worth selling the farm.

Most awards are for players that are the best at something. Like best and fairest, most goals, best mark, best goal, etc... The Danny Frawley award, whatever it may be, should be recognition of someone that champions mental health. It could be anyone. Maybe not just an AFL listed player. Just... any...

I like the sentiment Ape. And the idea isn't a bad one either. God knows we are all hurting ..and now, I just realized how much more Spud meant to everyone, far more and far beyond just Saints people, so, yeah, not a bad idea. It's too raw now...the bomb is still shaking the ground. It really is Sh...

Across social media people are calling for the Golden Fist to become an official award. Whilst I love this idea, I would really love the AFL to create a Danny Frawley award that recognises a players community work on mental health issues. Spud was such an inspiration. His strength in speaking openly...

I am gutted. Loved Spud.

RIP Legend.

Did you know that everyone can look into your post history?

How do you rate your pain from 1 to 17?

I've no dramas about getting an untried coach, afterall, all the flags since 2010 have been won by untried coaches. 2008 Clarkson would like a word. That's the same Clarkson that features in 2013, 2014 & 2015 isn't it? The same untried Clarkson appointed to coach Hawthorn in 2004? My point bein...

If he goes he will become a gun. He has something. 23yo 194cm midfield beast anout to hit 100 games. I hope we dont get rid of him.Will regret. Sorry, when did he become a midfield beast? I must have missed that game. Acres out, Hill in...whether you like Blacres or not, you have to admit we'd be i...

So are we concentrating on the coaching of the side? Or are we concentrating on player resource issues? I defer to the player resource side of the commentary. And the responses to my contribution to this thread would appear to confirm player resource issues contributed yesterday. Carlton covered th...

An underdone Steven and a very slow Lonie really cost us today.

We were abysmal just outside 50.

I hate to say it, but the long bomb was our best choice most of the game.

Works on Tapatalk!

Bloody cabbies. Use UBER. A far superior service on every single level. No thanks. I would never use uber and would rather walk. Just don't agree with the concept. Agree, bypass laws and underpay staff. I have never used and would not use an Uber for that reason. And for the license owners whose in...

I would love Stuv to stay, but he owes us nothing. He has won games off his own boot and put his heart and soul into this club. If he wants a change we should do everything to make it happen. It’s probably not going to be a first round pick. He is a couple of years beyond that. A potential young gun...

One thing I noticed on Saturday night was just how physical he was at boundary throw ins. Gawn showed him in the first half last week how physical you could be without conceding a free kick. Marshall stepped up in the second half to match Gawn and looks like he his going to continue with it. Not oft...

Hunter Clark will be one of these guns very soon. He has shown over the past month that he is special and wins his own ball with style.

He looks to find the best option too.

Saying that, we missed Acres massively tonight.
