Surely the Crows money can be outbid by the AFL to keep Rankine on the coast, that's what they do.

It's never crossed my mind creating a thread about something I don't care about... That's an interesting thought process.

Can't argue with that. Pretty much my thoughts, with these exceptions: Jones 1 Billings 1 Byrnes 1 These guys didn't get anywhere near the level expected. Highmore 4 - Had a very good season for Sandy, didn't get what he deserved. Campbell 4 - Same as Highmore. Peris 4 - Not saying he had a massive ...

Higgins doesn't crumb. He flies for marks against King. It's idiotic.

He's a very good contested mark one on one though.

No defensive game. Can't carry many of those. Would be a very talented forward if all he had to do was kick goals. The stats show him as having made an average of 3.17 tackles per game this year. In comparison, the stats for the much-vaunted Ben Long were 3.05 per game, and for Windhager 2.17 per g...

This. I can recall one.

At the moment, a much better kick in-play.

Meaningless figure , how many these 60000 attend games 20% , 30%?? Same for every club. How many pet memberships? How many Collingwood members actually support that club, versus how many only buy their memberships because of all the good sponsor deals? The discount you get on Emirates flights to Eu...

I even sense a bit of a spark.

Here here. The guys played with passion, need to get that out of them every match.

Borat, a "winning season" without finals is like a wizard's sleeve. It's not exactly what we're after, but at least it's something.

Like every coach - he’ll be a helluva lot better with his two best mids back this season. They’re both worth at least 3 wins

Sounds like Ty won't be available until later in the season, and Patrikios might miss the start. If they all improve, that's all we can ask.

Mmm... Howard is tall, and they've structured the defence around him, playing with them for years.
Joyce and Highmore haven't had that luxury, I wouldn't be bagging them.

Yeah, if only we got to play more inferior teams not in the 8 like Essendon or Port… :roll: Top 8 teams lose to other teams outside the top 8, it happens. It's just those teams in the top 8 are receiving more chances to play bottom teams. Brisbane lost to Hawthorn. Carlton lost to Gold Coast. Carlt...

I'd love to see the comparison of our drafting vs phantom over the last 15 years.

Actually, I probably don't need to see it... anything would've beaten ours. Anyone with an internet connection would've drafted better than we did.

Good idea. Sticky would work well.

This would be a sh*thouse forum if we all went through all the threads we don't care about a let everyone know about it every time. Get real.

No chip mate. All those topics related to mens football and good on you for supporting womens football. Why wouldn’t you want a dedicated forum and yes it’s me again mate I’m glad you responded to me
Cheers

This is a Saints forum, not a "mens football" forum.

Oh, it's The Fireman again. Damn it kid, you should be posting this in another forum :wink: But seriously. I have this forum bookmarked, didn't even know about the other forums until recently. And no, the Saints news belongs here with the other Saints news. You didn't mind all these other threads on...

Yeah we'll have to wait and see how the Watt delisting works out. I guess we see better long term candidates out there right now, instead of taking a one season replacement for her. She's much loved, but even the most loved players' days are numbered. She'll always be a Saint, always welcomed back. ...

Doesn't bother me. Not the best execution today, but it's a simple kick that opens the goals. Same thing with kicking bananas on the preferred foot instead of attempting a straight kick with the non-preferred. For some it's the easier kick, so go for it. Some people just like whinging about somethi...

I believe Pecketts young daughter Frankie shows a bit for AFLW but not sure any of his boys look the goods at this point in time.

Whereabouts is his daughter playing? Any good and how far away from being drafted?

Yeah Healy's good. He's just another passionate supporter. We don't always get it right.

Funny watching DMac get taken high twice in five seconds, the umpire paid a free against him for holding the ball.
DMac was even watching the umpire as the tackler's arm was over his shoulder, made no bloody difference.
