It was the same gameplan.

Ross is a coach that likes his match ups....and as part of this will change the 22....and where players play. Blake played in the ruck this week becuase Freo were playing the small Gilmore there..... I would not assume that Blake will keep rucking 50% against all teams. I will assume that RL will ma...

Well RL has copped a bagging most weeks of late for his "rubbish" game plan....


So another week...another opportunity to bag the gameplan...

Go for it..


Just a shame this week that the players kicked more accuratley, tackled harder, executed better etc.....

Well we will jus have to wait and see whether the Saints put in for 2 quarters or four. If the latter we will win.

We played 4

Pfft G-Train is not consistent.. Yeh he CAN kick a bag one week and win the game and b a hero but the next he does NOTHING and kicks 0 goals.. I would rather someone like Kosi who will be good every week then G who will dominate one week and do s*** all the next it's pointless.. STOP G stop the sai...

Blake played a very good game today...not as good as his Tassie one which was superb...or one other game he played this year which was also superb. however Blake was against Gilmore today....with Clarke on the Big W.

Well Harves at the end of the game....at the players race was all smiles....was bandaged,,,but no ice etc Whereas Max was all downcast and trackied up.

Judd is going to be very well remunerated fora long long time with his combination of official and un-official remuneration deals.

Anything else is fantasy stuff.....

That final against PA - has any player had such an impressive no-posession game? 14 hit-outs in the last quarter - unreal. . Yes unreal...do you remember about his last one?? I do...straight to Wanganeen.....goal...win to Port. Wacking the ball clear to Wanganeen in space in their forward line was ...

?????????????????? Have they altered the ins from yesterday?????



I think Blake will have first go at Gilmore (yes he is the small one)....and Kosi and the Big W (who by the way is 205cm.....hardly small).

Yes.

Will we??

Well we will jus have to wait and see whether the Saints put in for 2 quarters or four. If the latter we will win.

Now there is a Catch 22.




Great servant for the Saints.

Even I whom am not Blakes biggest fan can see the sense in the match ups in the ruck this week. Many crtitise RL for no plan B...even when he varies selections based on who we are playing... Swans had two big experienced rucks...so rix in.. Freo have 2 inexperienced ones...with one undersized one. S...

When, in the last five years prior to this one, have we recruited someone older than 26?

Milne >>>>>>>>>>>>>Johnson

If we were serious about having a crack at a flag this year Thomas should not have been sacked. He obviously wasn't a master-coach on match-day, but towards the end of 2006 we were playing a very impressive brand of footy. We were running with the footy, kicking long to multiple optons, going hard ...

Well with Attard out.....Birrs can play as a stopper.

Looks like Max on Farmer

as of the end of this year.

Press Conference just done.



A very good player..congrats on an outstanding career.

Sure, Baker played in the backline quite a lot in 2004, but in 2005 and 2006 he increasingly played in the midfield and not purely in a negative role.
