The government has caused financial distress through its inept policies which is putting a lot of pressure on households and causing all sorts of problems for families like domestic violence. But the government wants us to point the finger at other men. Which government? The one led by Albo that's ...

If Seb Ross keeps playing like he has in the last 2 weeks he won't be on the list next year. Credits in the bank will evaporate like the US dollar. At his best A bit better than a gop You don’t get multiple best on grounds - in AFL games If you’re an ordinary footballer Failure to acknowledge his a...

Even Gerard Whateley was sympathetic to the Higgins case. What does that tell us!!! There's been inconsistency for over a decade. The MRO and MRP before that, and the tribunal have all confused footy fans and players alike. The AFL has failed to properly adjudicate on head high collisions, or anyth...

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. Have a read of a conversation they had on Fox Sports 2 weeks ago - before the Higgins Aliir incident. Ger...

I can assure you no one is more vocal and proactive to the AFL than Basset. He is a true Sainter so when the supporters feel an injustice has been done, I promise you he is just another disgruntled supporter who actually has a voice to the AFL. And he uses it. But as we all know it’s a fine line. U...

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...

Upset the hierarchy and it can come back to haunt you……Thommo and umpire footy cards anyone. Tha's a load of defeatist crap. Sure...there was pain and learning and backlash, but that's what happens when you're trying to change the narrative. Thommo stood up to them and embarrassed them to the point...

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...

The AFL is a rigged competition. We know that.

They need change at board level. I say...if you can't beat em...join em

I vote for Sainter_Dad to join the AFL commission and CURLY to be the new Chairman

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. It wasn't your traditional sling tackle. Higgins DID NOT lift Aliir. He did not sling Allir Every other dangerous tackle ...

Payne argued that Jack began to 'rotate' him BEFORE Aliir attempted to kick the football In what fkn universe did Jack rotate Aliir's body? Jack has one of Allir's arms pinned and Jack pulls him in one direction. Straight down!! At the point where Allir is absolutely going to fall ( he's horizontal ...

Pane (AFL) says Higgins began to execute a rotating tackle before Aliir attempted to kick the football. "In other words, Higgins initiated the dangerous tackle and placed Aliir in a vulnerable position." How can you win when their whole argument is a lie to begin with All they're doing is...

Payne is a fkn liar It's a fabrication to claim that Higgins began to execute a 'rotating tackle' Watch Higgins body and head and arms in isolation without looking at Aliir. It's all one motion in one direction Pane (AFL) says Higgins began to execute a rotating tackle before Aliir attempted to kick...

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. He was denied any match practice when the club asked if he could play in a practice game for the VFL side a couple of weeks ago ...

Another interesting stat on wheeloratings.com/afl is the disposal efficiency team stats St Kilda is second last for DE by foot. It's in the disposals section under 'Kick Eff %' Surprisingly Geelong are third last :shock: ...so I suppose that stat in isolation doesn't mean that much. I don't know why...

Campbell deserves a game if Marshall is out. Agree particularly against the weaker sides we have coming up. But if RTB is true to form he will play a 1/2 fit Marshall, have him hobble around for half the night until they realise they have made a mistake. You left out the bit that describes what hap...

I reckon this thread would have been 6 pages long by now if the AFL hadn't hacked Saintsational last night

Nasiah averages 1.9 tackles per game this year

Battle is only averaging 1.4 per game

That's worse than Riley Bonner
