Only for Port to kick 16 in the first half last week and lead by 13 goals!

Home form?

We played them into form!

Perhaps he wanted Liam Stocker off so that he could put Mitch Owens back there.

... every team below us has to continue to lose and draw when they play each other.

Perhaps it only exists on my remote, but there's this little button that I can push called "mute" which turns off the sound but still allows me to watch the picture. Watching Saints players kick to a group of three opposition players, or trip over the ball is bad enough. Listening to someo...

"Saintly" is another term for physically weak.

Port 13 up.

Port are already up by 6 goals and are likely to at least double that.

People seemed to have missed the real story. Gill gave us a dream draw in both 2022 and 2023, to not only build membership but to act as springboard if we were any good. The previous coach got the best out of a modest list. In 2020, the team was one minute away from a shot at the flag. The jinx stru...

To be fair, Hawthorn played pretty well, with few turnovers or skill errors and were harder at the ball around the packs. Their kicking for goal was reminiscent of ours in the past, except we usually lose those ones.

Doesn't get much of the ball
Fumbles the ball, drops marks.
But keeps on being gifted games because e was pick 10
Meanwhile Windhager and Bytel can't get game.

His main liability is that he is so slow. Unless he can gain a few yards, he'll be consigned to the dustbin.

Higgins trying to be a smart arse lost us the game.

This game is gone.

Coffield is injured. Ben Paton is a turnover merchant. We do well when he never gets the ball.

They certainly practice goal kicking a lot. They certainly practise doing it wrong. With Ryan Byrnes his problem is obvious. He is unable to switch from being a rushed kick in play to a concentrated kick with 30 seconds to kick. He has no focal point before kicking or at the point of impact, which ...

Teams are working really hard defensively against us to take away our run. They're blocking our switches and getting numbers back. We will have games like we did at the start of the year- just not every week. Yes that's right and, where they have the players, teams are placing more physical pressur...

To be fair, he's playing with three broken legs.

Did anyone think that clark and burns were going to kick their last shots on goal? fknfvsbf;lskjk I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice this. It was appalling. Clark looked everywhere except the goals. Byrnes looked like, ' Gee, you don't really expect me to kick it if I'm more that 2 metres ...

15 point loss

We were as good as any other team in 2020 and could have won the flag had it not been for a hamstring injury in the last 60 seconds of our final (and still some say we are not jinxed). Whilst we didn't have the best back line, we had a ruck combo that was superior to all others. You don't need to th...

The Port game showed that we lack physical strength and sufficient weight, despite determination, to move opposition players off the ball. Ross referred to it as "heat". Port play a bit dirty as well. In previous years they have lacked skill and simply relied on crash bang. Getting JHF ma...

I'm trying to work out who had the Mulligan, Adelaide or us. Certainly, they seemed to have a free shot on many occasions. Time will tell whether our game was a "one-off" but things didn't look too good the week before. I note that we are $1.67 favourites against GWS away. It seems the boo...

Ben Patton is a dud. Simple as that. He should be moved on asap. Ryan Byrnes is still young, and goes hard at the ball and has done well this year. He, like many other, lacks the physical strength to compete against the top echelon. His kicking lacks penetration. Sometimes, a kick just has to be 5 m...
