Re: Durrrrrr Howard

Have a look at who's been backed in to play this week (Dougal Howard)... And who's been dropped (Zaine Cordy) Don't get me wrong. I like what Zaine offers as back up and for the short term he has earnt his keep...but we need to constantly think about what our team will look like in 2026 and beyond D...

Norf were really into him and he was keen too from what I have been told.
Carlton fans were saying that SOS picked him because he knew Carlton wanted him. They had next pick after us

Even Gerard Whateley was sympathetic to the Higgins case. What does that tell us!!! There's been inconsistency for over a decade.

Gerard Whateley said if you’re going to tackle someone who is upright then you’re better off letting them get a kick or handball away, rather than tackling them to ground and risking suspension.

I can assure you no one is more vocal and proactive to the AFL than Basset.

Re: Higgins Alir incident

They're calling it a dangerous tackle due to Jack rotating Allir. So in their eyes it's a sling tackle. Watch Higgins body and arms. Do not fix your eyes on Allir's body or his head slamming the ground Does Jack twist his own body or change direction with the way he brings Aliir to the ground? http...

Re: Owens

We need to find an elite midfielder and we need to find out if Owens is it. Concerns over his tank can be the only explanation why he’s not in the starting midfield. Ross has tried Zak, Stocker, Battle and the younger guys -Garcia, Hastie, Pou, Wilson- but he sticks to his regulars. They have stric...

I get that people want to discuss Collard and other players who might replace Higgins, but what I don't get is ... Saints supporters accepting the fact that Higgins cops 3 weeks.

I agree. You make a valid point. Makes sense to ease him back for his own sake. We don't want him doing a hammy first game back. He hasn't played at any level for 8 weeks.
