Re: Let's Talk About the Elephant In the Room

Bonner is a handy player and gets enough of the ball to stay in, the odd stuff-up isn't just limited to him. Shoemaker looks comfortable at VFL level, but until he gets senior game we will never know what to expect.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 12 2024

Pathetic midfield effort at the start of Q4, need a lot more effort and not have Steele playing behind his man.

Re: No injuries - No excuses

Collingwood has an injury list nearly as long as Richmond and should have beat Freo at home with 6 players having less than 10 games experience! The excuse-makers and mediocrity-accepters on here and around the club have been using injuries and young players as "the reason" for a pitiful ...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade

Of course it's not Ross' job to develop apprentice or specialist coaches, is it. And by the way, be cautious of cause and effect linkages. E.G. do great teams inherently contain chaps that are natural coaches and pursue or ....... Will Fly be credited if Pendlebury becomes a good coach. If it's onl...

Re: Membrey

Tim found form at Sandy and clearly is fit and uninjured, probably gained some confidence, so as an experienced player, gets a recall. Must say Butler looked off the pace last week, but clearly the small defensive forward role is failing, like most other things at the moment, and Butler knows how to...

Re: Kane Cork Sucker

He doesn't say St Kilda should trade King, he says for the sake of his own career he should look to move to a club that will utilise his skills. Yes, it is an article designed to be controversial but it is not definitively wrong. King would look better in a team that was more attack focused. Ross's...

Re: Team for Saturday

Should have dropped the entire midfield, they are dragging the team down, and mixed with Lyon's stagnation game, we will go nowhere in a hurry.

I will tell you why Bonner stuffed up because we have no one forward of the ball to kick to. Ross Lyon is a soccer coach who thinks there's an off-side rule in AFL.

Loved Ratts I didn't have a problem with him, he had the same problem Lyon is having with regards to access to his first choice players.

Re: Ross Lyon Looks ahead to Narrm - Pressser

If Lyon wasn't our coach, there is no way we play finals last year with the injuries we had for the first half of the season. No chance! A few weeks ago, we would have beaten by twice as much against the Dogs if he wasn't coaching. RTB can clearly coach, and I am certainly a lot more confident in o...

I think it's that he doesn't hit the contest with speed, always gets the ball flat footed. Will learn that soon enough.
I don't think he has that speed and run naturally that you need as a midfielder..from a runner's point of view anyway.

This is a game we can win by playing attacking, positive football, exploiting Melbourne's lack of real leg speed. That's what West Coast did, apparently ... I didn't watch the game. If Lyon allows the game to open up, by shelving his negative lame plan, we should win on the MCG. You know Lyon will ...
