Can't put any more burden on the young players. But they need something.

Re: Phillipou
He is playing with no confidence. Ross is a signatury to the 'Once you have played 50 games' mentality. Therefore rush them through. However it is a bit like fast forwarding to the good bits of a movie. Ultimately it doesn't fill the night or provide any lingering enjoyment. Pou came in with cockine...

Re: Effing disgraceful.
It is time for development. Proper controlled structured development. Put a plan in place and follow it through. Garcia and Co are the future. Therefore put them through a plan to get them to thrive when they are ready for AFL. Gifting them games because they got 20touches in the VFL does not work w...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Byrne's to have a lockdown - run with role. Garcia was getting a few tackles but not enough of the ball at AFL level. He needs to learn the game. Better in the VFL than under the spotlight. Crouch is too valuable to rush back. Would have thought planning for next year will start soon. Can't have all...

Re: Play the kids etc.
Not play the kids Develop the kids Stop gifting games. They need to be developed. There is a big difference. Make them earn it. Give them challenges and rewards.

Re: The Blame game
Pou needs to be managed. A clear development pathway. He is only 19. He needs a plan to develop. Eg. One of the ways Steele (and now Wingy) were developed was by making them taggers. Follow the best around, learn where the ball is going to be. Win some one on one contests. Learn the game. Pou is a c...

Re: Are happy with Euro-Yuroke name change
There is value in a name. Brand is everything.
That is why the big names don't cheapen themselves for cheap gimmiics.
Go woke go broke.
The purple hair they/thems applaud the decision. (Yet to see one at a game however)

Re: Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
Both. Midfield is left to too few or outside runners. It is an issue when your ruck is leading the clearances. Rowan is doing a great job. But it is him or nothing. Our forwards aren't marking the ball. With an average height of 6ft18 marking is it. We aren't going to win the ground ball. King badly...

Re: King ...out of form or
I think King is a spud
However the delivery was appalling. Could not have been slower and half the time the ball hit the 3rd row stand.
King shoulders are so stuffed he can't take an overhead mark. Lost all confidence in them

Re: Cold Hard Facts

Melbourne have the luxury of pushing Pettracca forward and still being competitive in the centre and around the contest. Take Steele...

Saints need to learn how to develop young players. Young players need both time and space to develop. The best develop through both VFL and AFL exposure. Learn, fail, learn adapt and learn again.

Re: Changes for Freo
I keep reading about the slow midfield. It is not leg speed being the issue. Long gone is the forward 45 degree handball. Handballs are backward and sideways. If they ever go forward it is to a stationary player. The only time this ever changes is when we are down by 30 in the last. We open the ball...
