A handful. Got dropped in his first year

It just feels like we’re ( the coaching panel) are all in on Pou regardless of what he’s doing right or wrong. I suspect because of his size, his draft status, and his supposed willingness to train and subsequent good attitude has meant Ross wants to keep playing him. For the life of me I can’t see ...

Pou’s manager is an absolute flog. Tells anyone who cares to listen that Pou is going to be the best player in the competition within 3 years. A good mate of mine was at a function his manager was at and his manager told him directly If that’s what he’s listening to, God Help him. Another mate of mi...

Eddy did NOT play in the 2009 GF

And counting 2010 as two seperate GFs is also folly

Both games were played for 1 cup

Tell Leon Davis that, or Ben McEvoy. Or the Collingwood bloke who kicked the first goal in the replay.

My mate was standing at the tunnel where RTB walks through. A person yelled out, ‘never play Jones again’ Ross looked directly at the person who said it, and it didn’t look like an angry or defensive look according to my mate. Almost an acknowledgment. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances from he...

Maybe this makes me a softcock. But I’m on record of being one of Gresham’s biggest critics on here. But if he can turn it around I’d be really pleased for him. Certainly doesn’t change my opinion of us moving him on, he clearly needed a new environment, but I take no pleasure in seeing former saint...

If he goes back that is a big f*** you too Ross as he has played him every game and couldn’t have been better to him If he reads this forum (not directed at you) then it isn't going to encourage him to stay. What a load of crap. If he reads this forum then it’s purely to see if anyone is pissing in...

We'll play better than that. No need to get all sulky because we played poorly. We may not make the 8 but I certainly don't expect that to be our baseline performance. I think you've just got the s***s after a terrible performance last night.

Thursday night. People have work the next day and they're not going to hang around to watch that. After halftime I went to the bar and watched from there, but really it was just a distraction in the background as I caught up with mates I hadn't seen in a long time. Was a miserable effort and I could...

Hopefully if he does they overcommit with early draft picks. We couldn't have treated him any better tbh. Never seen such a golden run given to a young player with so little given back.

Let's hope he signs quickly - with any other club. Slow, can't take a mark and unskilled by foot. An absolute dud. I've been saying this for awhile. People keep telling me he's talented. My question is, what is it particularly I'm missing that will mean he will explode before our eyes. He's not qui...

Yes absolutely. Delivery is a cop out for the poor showing we saw tonight and for far too long. Can't spread the defensive structure. Can't win a contested ball at ground level. Can't keep it inside 50 once it gets in there. Talent...you need it to execute... We have talent. It's clear that the lis...

His first 3 games were all very good. His last 2 not so. Hardly a trend

If you look back in the last 20 years, twice we’ve had eras of domination in the fwd 50. 04/05, Riewoldt and Gehrig. 09 Roo and Kosi ( especially first half of 09) When there is two bona fide tall fwds it’s so much harder to cover. So, I’m not sure the problem is Max, its Members, Owens, Sharman or ...

Curious why MB and one other had pou in their votes? Still doing nothing for mine. Picks wrong options, ( last quarter missing Members standing in goal square in his own a classic example) His kicking and handpassing rarely creative. In fact appears to have lost penetration in his kicking and his on...

Caminiti still runs around like a headless chook, he doesn’t have much forward craft, he basically needs the ball to fall in his lap. He had 2 good bits of play in a 5 minute period where he hung into a good grab, and had a good tackle. Sharman got moved into the forward line and took 2 great marks...

Good windy will get booked as well looking at footage. Haven't seen the news. Has that occurred?

I'm curious about the love for Marshall's game? 1st quarter was sensational. But we were SLAUGHTERED in the ruck and as the game wore on their big men just took over the game. Roma got caught completely unaware in the last quarter when he was clear and could have driven it deep fwd. In the 3rd quart...

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...

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 ...

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...

All yours Sainter dad. Doesn't appear anyone else is interested. So if you want them they're yours. I'll pm you

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.

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...
