Re: Phillipou
I find the lack of news about contract signing a tad concerning…we are showing faith….playing him…coach loves him …I don’t get the hold up We went through the same thing with NWM - Second year, players typically want to establish themselves a little more to up their contract. Can’t say I’m all that...

Re: Crab watch
Moods: "The only player in recent years who has made us look silly with trades is Acres." I wouldn't have said so. He's a bit like Guerra: he was deservedly moved on by us and only blossomed later on (in the case of Acres, only after being moved on by a second club). And he's not exactly ...

Re: Crab watch
As I’ve posted before, some of the negativity towards Billings on here verges on the pathological. How dare he not turn out to be as good as the Bont! F___ him! I hope he just keeps going better and better at Melbourne (except when they play us) and continues to get up your noses. The only people m...

Re: AFL Dont have a drug issue....
Yep afraid so. I have daughter's in the demographic who often see footballers out and about not too concerned about what they are doing and who's watching them. Occasionally I'm disheartened to hear a Saints player's name, but thankfully not too often.

Re: Crab watch
Actually no it wasn’t. Finally a coach that saw past the fraud like reputation Billings had that he was an elite kick, and realised not only is he an average kick but he doesn’t impact games. Right now he’s doing well at Dees ( and good luck to him) but it was unfair on Jack to hold onto him. He was...

Re: Crab watch
I think the real question is why are Dees paying half of Jack’s salary? Why did he go at basically the afterthoughts of the draft last year? I mean surely the other clubs with all their professional talent scouts someone as well as Melbourne would have wanted him ? The fact of the matter is no one r...

Re: Phillipou
When he started last year he was incredibly good at getting to the front of the pack and marking. But that seems to have disappeared from his game now. Maybe it’s opponents working him out or maybe it’s different tactics from us. I think different tactics - we started him as a forward - with the ba...

Re: Crab watch
Are you saying Billings has never played a good game against good opposition? Not sure I agree with that? I just look at his body of work over 160 games as a HF/wing And his numbers stack up It’s a bit like the false narrative that he is soft lol. Well he’s definitely not hard. Billings is definite...

Re: Phillipou
Yeah was missing for most of last night, I don't think a short run in the 2s would do him any harm, let him dominate a bit at a lower level and gain some confidence. He was pick 10, not pick 50. I fail to see just what his AFL level strengths are. He's too short for a key position player these days...

Re: A little moment I liked from Bonner tonight
Allowed Bobby Hill to get goal side at stoppage near goals in last quarter. Cardinal sin of defender. Put zero pressure on Hill for easy goal. Then followed up with absolute howler allowing his kick to be smothered. Basically we/he let pies back into the game last quarter

Re: Phillipou
Of course you can ask I personally don’t see any lack of confidence and the goal he kicked tonight proves it I love the way he goes about it and I reckon he is getting better every game If his numbers aren’t any better next week, I will put my hand up and say okay but I doubt it As I have said, I h...

Re: Marcus Windhager
Sensational. Watching these kids dominate was as good as 04.
Windy, NAS, Owens. And King to a lesser extent as he’s a couple of years older.

Re: Worst possible start to the season we were all fearing...
There is a bit more balanced view of this: Pros: No injuries, we are fitter and more available next week. Sincs to come back in, Crouch and Windy better for the run. Plenty of footage to watch and learn from Cons: Disagree that Geelong are good. That game was one of the worst of the weekend. If we ...

Re: Phillipou
Can I ask why? For mine his game was no different to last week, ineffectual and tbh, needs more aggression. Has lost confidence and needs to find it. His 1 wood should be his marking. Never see him run, jump and take marks anymore.
The other kids were all superb

Re: Phillipou
I personally think that ppl are just sick of the kid being gifted games every week when clearly he's struggling. I've said this often, you don't have to be in the best but you have to show that you're footy is progressing to some degree. What we are questioning is, why is he constantly getting games...

Re: Phillipou
....I think he's the opposite of a player who competes hard. What I've seen on the field (not training) is a kid who is not competing hard or having a go. I think he'll be as good as BJ Do you remember the doubters who questioned Goddard's worth? Goddard didn't have a break out game in his first 2 ...
