Re: Higgins Alir incident

Liberatore should get at least a week for his ugly and dangerous sling tackle on Will Day. If there is a concussion involved it’s got to be three weeks or St Kilda has been ripped off … again.

Re: King ...out of form or

I have no doubt king can play He’s skilled by hand with good second efforts, moves well for a bloke his size But just doesn’t seem slot in as a ff atm Who knows he may improve in this area but atm struggling Must be moved up the grd I agree with that. Start him at the old CHF, not on the last line....

Re: Darcy Wilson

Is Darcy a possible clearance midfielder down the track? Big and strong enough? What do people think is his career trajectory?

He could play as a small/medium forward, sure, but he’s far too valuable as part of our struggling and below average midfield

Needed a run and must learn how to deal with a big grappling opponent. Needs to move around more and lead.

Re: Darcy Wilson

Who ran through him? Presume he was merely winded and no concussion involved, but it seemed as if the Norf guy lined him up

Re: Owens

We need to find an elite midfielder and we need to find out if Owens is it. Concerns over his tank can be the only explanation why he’s not in the starting midfield. Owens is a guy too focussed on winning his own ball ( because...that's what he does :idea:) https://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic.p...

Re: Owens

He’s a contested bull Play him in the centre square - rest him forward To me it’s a fkn no brainer It must be that they don’t think he has the tank to play there. I can see no other conceivable reason. But yes, start him in the centre square and rest him forward. Surely he has the tank for that

Re: Paddy Dow to play for Sandy

Good. We need some matured-bodied, experienced players back soon if this is to be anything more than a development year. Brad Crouch, for example, good player but short of superstar status. We’ve missed him a lot more than many would have thought. We need a competitive performance this week against ...

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax

Toby, fantastic player and probably a great bloke. But - given the four weeks to Peter Wright in round 1 for similar - one week for that, with his record? No penalty for Cameron because he is a so-called good bloke? It’s a lot to ask from the AFL, but some consistency would be appreciated. All very ...
