Re: Liam Henry
Hill on one wing NWM on the other What's Henry's role again? 3 players 2 positions. All very similar. Henry has no goal sence at all (neither do the other two). Finding the right role is the key. Saints have too many outside runners once you throw in Wood, Sinclair and all the youngsters. The outsid...

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...

Yep bring out the sign so they can get some junk time goals and pat themselves on the back and say. Look we lost by under 2 kicks again.

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
Pettracca v Steele You cannot compare the two on ability to go forward and kick goals. There is one very simple reason. Pettracca is not always required in the centre. Melbourne have the luxury of pushing Pettracca forward and still being competitive in the centre and around the contest. Take Steele...

Re: Cold Hard Facts
5 losses under 10 points. Such see-sawing games they were as well. A bit like a kids 800m run where the kid walked the first 700m and Usain Bolted the last 100m to come in 4th. So close to the podium the kid said. If only I started running a bit earlier. We weren't in any of those games and just st...

Re: Are we going full tilt in 2024????
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. Players need to make mistakes and have room to fail and learn. Gifting 30+ games in a row and going back...

About as stupid as it gets. Most likely a 10 year deal. Not sure where that massive salary capacity is coming from. Zac Jones? With Phillipou NWM Winghager, Wilson and Co coming through we will need some space. We need a gun midfielder. One that is 23-24 with their best days ahead. Not someone that ...

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...

Too many short kicks
If you have a full forward that is as tall as king is. Why do the saints move the ball slower than a sloth on a hot day?

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF
He needs a change in role as he needs to find the ball again. Half back might give him that opportunity. Needs a run at VFL level. Both to find the ball, get away from the spotlight and settle in his own mind. Learning takes time. Confidence is a strange concept. Takes time to build, seconds to dest...

Weights will ultimately strengthen anyone. I can't believe some of the comments on this page. There is inside mids and outside mids. Inside mids need to be strong outside mids need to be fast. Clarke isn't blessed with speed (or much endurance really). Therefore needs to be strong around the ball ot...

Re: King ...out of form or
Saints also very tall in the forward line at the moment. King, Hays, Membrey. arent exactly known for their crumbing ability. Therefore mark the ball or lose it. King is dreadfully out of form. Playing with no confidence at all (ability or body). Looks to want to curl up and cry most of the time. He...

Re: In a way the Hawks will be the ultimate test .
Saints won't go anywhere if they can't beat Hawthorn.
Bottom 6 team.
It shouldn't be a major concern for a team vying for the premiership. Eg StKilda circa 2010 would have a query on their ability to win thus game?
Therefore that is where the Saints are at. A long way off the pace at the moment.
