Re: Sandy at Wonthaggi

Isn't he a young man living away from home a long way from home and quite physically small. Subi to Wonthaggi, who wouldn't be a bit perplexed by the journey. So quick to critique these young blokes going through tremendous change. Support wouldn't go astray in this formative stage. Maybe?

Re: Philipou’s Manager

How are the following forwards going atm King Owens Phillipou Owens seems to be going ok. Membrey is not a youngster and is playing poorly. So what was the manager's point. All younger forwards should be dropped, none dropped, they are all very talented and Ross has ruined them, Ross can't coach, w...

Re: Losing to Hawks

Kick long & high into forward line to the disadvantage of our forwards or to an outnumber. Repeat 20+ times per match, a method that has transcended 3 coaches & a few playing groups. Must be something in the Moorabbin water. And if being 5 points down with 50 secs on the clock isn`t the tim...

Re: Philipou’s Manager

I wonder what the point of the tweet was.
Can see a disgruntled family member being foolishly emotive, but a professional manager - how did he see it helping his client.

Re: Chicken or the Egg

The players put in for Ross or not as mood takes them; or Ross churns the list to get players that will put in and play smart each week. Selection this week might tell which scenario is at play. Dogs - an aberration; Hawks - bog standard rubbish. Surely we can regroup and lose to Freo by under 2 goa...

Re: King ...out of form or

Surely Caminiti and Sharman have to come in given the size of Freos defenders? If Max can nullify Pierce it would also help.

Re: RTB's Presser

Tony74,
Hi, are you able to say what Hayes issues were yesterday; and Ross seemed fully "had enough of these players", is there serious tension in the rooms now with so many playing poorly?
Cheers, Y.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story Here’s some truth for you armchair I counted 8 clearances between Marshall and Steele from a stoppage where they turned and kicked the ball directly forward.

Re: RTB's Presser

So far this season we've lost six games. Five of them by a combined 28 points (on average less than a goal a gaame). It has cost us 20 points on the ladder, we should be sitting joint top with Sydney. Ross seems to think that the runners are the problem because he can't get his messages through (He...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

The sad part is we are quite capable of winning games like this, should win games like this, but there always seems to be a few have stinkers, clutch moments are fluffed, big moments missed. I'd look at the club psych. I'd also start dropping players that regularly let the side down under pressure. ...

That's bound to attract criticism from the owners of neutered dogs, female dogs, vets of all creeds - and non neutered dogs due to the implications they think deeply rather than just spraying, sniffing and filling small green bags with excrement.

Re: Membrey should have been subbed off, Not Hayes!

Hayes was awful Membrey contributed a lot more than Jack Hayes It's not Membrey's fault we lost the match and I doubt very much whether it would have made much difference whoever was subbed off. Hill had 1 disposal in the last quarter. 1 touch only for Liam Henry in the 3rd quarter and 1 touch only...

Re: We deserve every bit of criticism

He didn't seem overly concerned. He humoured Richo long time. But if you know he was working as hard as he could on onfield wins I'll accept that and just think of him as being an earnest incompetent at that, but ok as a relocation administrator.
