Re: 25-11 "The Noise Of Affirmation" Raise this with Gill Richo.
Was also raised later by Jonathan Brown (On the Couch) as well. Surprisingly Gerard Healy's reaction was that the AFL had bigger things to worry about.

Re: VFL Rd 9 Sandringham Vs Nth Melbourne - TV game Ch 7
Although I have only seen a limited amount of Josh Battle I thought he was a good shot for goal - have we messed him up too or was it the conditions that affected his kicking?

Re: Lead every stat other than....
The only numbers that matter to me are the goals and points that say we scored more than the other team. Everything else is just fluff. Can you tell I'm over stats for every little thing?

I would like to see what happens if umpires wore ear plugs/headphones to take out the crowd noise - maybe they could adjudicate with their eyes and not their ears

Re: Stat precision disposal ? What is it?
Struggling to see why such a stat is of any value to anyone, let alone make a point of how high we sit on the scale. If that is what we see as a positive then I would suggest we are looking in the wrong places.

Re: Carlisle
Perhaps Richo should do a Clarkson and go and "discuss" the MRO with Gillon (waste of time talking to the overlord in the middle). There are a number of inconsistent, implausible rulings in less than half a season that can be used as evidence that the new and improved review system is just...

Re: Rance hit vs Carlisle hit
Perhaps my memory has failed me but I thought the AFL refused to use precedents (makes it easier to make whatever decision they feel like).

Re: Our Faceless President Has Spoken
Richo looked uncomfortable when the subject of St. Kilda and the top 4 was raised.
Whateley was blunt in saying he feared for Richo's security in the coaching role (an apparent disconnect between what the president is saying and Richo's stance on where the Saints are and should be).

Re: VFL Rd 6 Sandringham Vs Richmond
Looking at the 3rd quarter both sides seem to be clones of their AFL counterparts. Richmond's players a class above and the Zebra's "system" into the forward line mirrors the Saints.

Re: Team vs Pies
We are definitely going for a smaller side. Change of gameplan perhaps. We can just use our existing game plan as we can't kick anyway so just kick it along the ground to all our small forwards. When the Collingwood backmen have wrecked their backs from picking the ball up so much in the first half...

Re: I choose to believe .....
I think we have different definitions of "development"
Bit of an issue that we are minus a few 2018 draft picks too - some magic required there.

Re: We cant play 4 slow mids each week.
From what I saw today we struggled to: - pick the ball up off the ground - handpass to a teammate even if 5 metres way under little pressure (lost count of handpasses that went to ankles) - take a mark on a lead - players continually prop and allow the opposition to spoil rather than attacking the b...

Re: Roberton.
Concerned on a few fronts:
- we are only playing 4 up forward
- seems to be a distinct lack of mobility
- the talls aren't much bigger than the smalls

Re: MRP
Mitchell jumped at Goldstein to make the contact with an elbow - hmmmm. May not have been a heavy knock but surely such an action was intentional and should have merited a suspension.

Without going into specifics they also had a general dig at the recruiters.
One could almost imagine the On The Couch guys used Saintsational as their research "source"

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
Stretching them with height only works if we mark the ball (not something we have achieved in a while) otherwise Geelong will just mop up and run the ball out again. Adding Battle in with more mobility may help, and, he seems to actually be able to kick goals. While it's a two edged sword I would ha...

Re: Riewoldt Head Coach
I suspect Roo's perfectionism would lead both he and the team into a bottomless void. A significant number of the current crop of players wouldn't be able do what Roo asked and it in the end it would drive them all crazy.

Re: Longer - 1 paltry disposal
And while we're at it. As has been said many, many times before - Josh Bruce is not a ruckman. What there is of forward line structure goes out the window when he's not there. Marshall to ruck with Gilbert as the cut-out. I know Sam's got his deficiencies but at least he will bring a contest and pro...
