The side needs to change. Out: Eddy, Blake (if Injured), Xman (hasnt performed for a long time, sick of it), Gwilt (maybe?), McQualter (if no tagging role available) In: Armo, Birrs, L.Fisher, Fiz (smokey?), G-train (wishful but unlikely?) We definately need armo in there. He'd be the first in. Midf...

I cant see us seriously being dangerous without a forward line structure. Our gamestyle is ridiculously defensive as it is. When we go forward, we look hesistant nor look like winning at all. Too reactive. Simply relying on Roo as our main and only target is ridiculous. I know Schnider/Milne/Charlie...

This is true. The problem is when you're winning, everyone looks like a star. When your loosing, the average players turn crappy, whilst the good hold their ground. I thought Mini did his tagging role good, but did he even get a touch? What did he "offer" the team to create a goal? Greante...

That really p$ss's me off about Geelong. They dont throw away the ball when their tackled. Thats what GOOD teams do. We just give it away. But, having said that, the umpires were horrible for not paying holding the ball. There were so many times a Geelong player had an opportunity to get rid of it i...

I think Birrs gives a decent effort. Perhaps he can tag C.Ling? Dempster out. Unsure about Eddy or CJ though. Depends on the matchups. Few possibilities.. - Ball (But he'd have to be 100% otherwise play the following week if we loose) - X-man (Is he right or will he pull a hammy?) - Armatage (Reckn ...

Hrm, it will depend how bad he has torn it. I torn my acl this year (very gay, moderate tear) playing footy, but the doctors basically told me it may or may not hold up, it seems to feel ok, but they'd prefer I do phyio first and go flat out/do whatever I want, rather than operate. If it snaps, well...

common saints, 3 goals, do it please.

We really really really really need this.

It wasnt the coaches fault, it is the players The dud only seems to pop up when we lose... when we won 4 in a row he was no where to be seen. i dont like losing like the bloke next to me, but at least he tries new things GT would never play Goddard, Gram, S Fisher in the middle at least Ross does, ...

we owed him holiday pay??? so does that mean the current 16 coaches in the league can all sue their current clubs because they have holiday pay owing Im not quite sure what your trying to save or prove here. In a business, it is very simply. You get a contract, and you do the work. If you do not ge...

Get over yourself.... You say you are a supporter and you wont buy a membership? good one! So GT had passion? he came out time and time again and said ruckmen were not needed in the AFL... Can you imagine us in 04-05 with a Sandilands, Cox, Hille? we would have won it, he lost us the game and the f...

theres nothing else to say collingwood have free players in our backline, free players in the middle, and free players in there forward line, how the hell is that possible! pathetic This is what happens when you flood back, and guard space, not your opponent. Then to run up and try kick goals and r...

The sooner Ross Lyon is gone the better we will be. Been saying it for a while now, in a way, wish we lost against Hawks. He talks about its "all about the young kids". Well, Ross... Geary, Eddy, McQualter These guys are simply not good enough. When you could be playing... Birrs, Armatige,...

On Sat we went to the Sponsors Luncheon. Our seats were centre of the ground, 2nd level. Only saw 2 PA supporters in the area, yet you could have heard a pin drop. What the hell is wrong with people? Even when Harves went down, nothing................ I was telling them all off, Melbourne supporter...

Forward setup? Bang it long to Roo with 3 opponents is all we do. We definately need to fix up our gamestyle/forward line structure. All this flooding/pushing up the ground stuffs it all up when you go forward. Problem is when we go forward its usually along side the boundary line, and its always t...

I thought Fiora was pretty decent imo tonight.

Definately went in for the ball, ran back with the flight to put on a spoil too, which was great. Hit targets kicking too.

Even if he did or didnt know what he was singing, I think the club is "dodgy" by taking away someone's annual paided leave, whether it be $1 or $1,000,000. I dont think he was overpaid or underpaid, it seems fair what he was earning. Coaching is not an easy job. Feel sorry for GT in a way,...

I'll ask you the questions I asked in the other thread. Does Collingwood have more talent than us? Are Collingwood better drilled than us? Does Collingwood have better skills than us? FWIW, I'm talking NOW, you know 2008 . . . not 2 or 3 years ago. The Saints could have....and should have won last ...

F*** me dead, Im sick of hearing, Gehrig is finished, the game has passed him, blah blah blah. Bulls$ite...!! If Ross implements a fast ATTACKING gamestyle, where the forwards could lead into a OPEN forward line, where the kicks were to the FAT side, then he would be kicking a crapload of goals. Doe...

Sigh, another loss again. :roll: I thought most of the players actually really tried, its just the way we play. Our gameplay generally goes like this.... Other team gets the ball, runs and kicks long. We run and flood back, marking SPACE , not the player. Turnover eventually happens. We stop, look u...

I agree with Nexus, there are plenty of supporters here who still bag a person that apparently cannot coach yet make finals three years in a row, yet others praise Ross Lyon before he has even proved anything? To be honest, so far after one year with Ross, I dont think we will make the finals this y...

Sorry Barks, you are wrong. Its not the players, its the style of play from our coach that can "coach". Armitage and others is not going to change our 50 point defeats. Its not Gehrig that is useless, its a coach that cannot play accountable football. How many times does Jason Gram have to...

Before a "certain poster" will be demanding the head of Ross Lyon FAIR DINKUM! Well, honestly, GT had a number of excuses (injury list, lack of ruckmen)... Lyon had an excuse last year... if we don't make it this year, i don't see what the reason will be not to sack him? Spot on. The next...

Dont drop F.Gehrig. Its not his problem the coach cannot work out a decent structure/gameplan for the entire team. How can you lead if there is 4 players in front of you, and with the long bombs into the forward line. Its pathetic, and that is a coaching issue. Out: R.Clarke J.Montagna A.Fiora Blak...
