Yes, he would peel off, and his opponent would be having a shot at goal.

If he plays this Saturday, whoever plays on him could easily get 5 or 6 goals.
It will seal his demise

Jake stays in my IMHO
He was out for a while, give him continuity

Zebs match report on Saints App says Matt played mostly wing, collected an amazing 6 touches.
Is that a typo?

Saints TV have several videos.
I don't want to go thru all of them

Vortex said Dmack was great against WCE, but was all at sea against Power.
This is why Dmac has played 55 games in what, 7 yrs?

He played out of his skin against WCE, but his usual standard is purely VFL or maybe EDFL standard.

Giving him a contract is one of the most bizarre decisions ever.

I suggest there's a few clubs that can't win a flag in the next decade. We're top of the list. GWS Suns Crows Maybe Pies cos they're drinking their own bathwater and just keep digging a hole There's a few that are on a trajectory that we *could* have been on, but they're moving well past us and disa...

What is Saints TV?

When Ratten was asked about our comeback v Eagles and why we are having trouble replicating that effort ...... he paused and didn't answer immediately I don't believe he knows why ...... eventually he replied about players needing to get a move on But I don't believe he has any idea as to why the p...

Our percentage dropped from 71.4
Now 67.0

Ratts is a Carlton spy, he's white-anting the club so we are forced to move to Tassie.
Or merge with the Suns.
Played out of Noosa last year, did well.
That was a test by the AFL and Carlton to see which club should move there

There's gonna be some hard conversations at RSEA Park on Tuesday.
Finnis in his office, texting Ratts: 'Brett, pls see me in my office when u have time. Need to have a chat'

Club should relocate to Noosa.
It worked for them last year.
Butler can surf every morning with 2-3 team-mates, it's what helped him last year.
Get them all away from distractions like family, kids, etc so they can focus.

We get a Friday night game, and this is the crap we dish up?
21 players need to hand back the last fortnight's pay to the club

Howard takes those 'team marks' cos the backmen rehearse it at training.
In the pack is Wilkie, Coff, or Long nudging the pack under the ball.
It's a learned technique

I am happy Joyce is back in. Just wish it wasn't these kinds of circumstances. I hope he has a thick skin! And that he is not scapegoated. No, Dougal Howard is no Max Houghton. Maxy could run out, reach over and get a fist over the shoulder of a forward leading. I think Howard is two meters behind....

And Petracca and Bont are their stars!!!

The Dogs will get their next flag well before we do
We're 10 yrs off, if at all

Love Joyce as an in, hate Bytel as an out. ps; And some keyboard experts here who shall remain unnamed to prevent embarrassment were calling for him to be delisted as season end. Whenever I saw Joyce play, he seemed to wear his man like a glove, and had this angry Irishman look about him like he wa...

Brad Hill visited family in WA last week. Perth has 3 active covid cases, and this arvo the gov announced a 3 day lockdown. Hunter Clark went for a covid test on Wednesday, cos he has the flu, and club just wants to be certain it's just the flu. Did Hill bring Covid on the plane as carry-on luggage?...

I wonder why they played him then if it was a bit worse then usual... Saying he played under duress seems to imply it was Playing severely injury hampered players is a real peeve of mine... neither we as a club or Billings anything from that I think it happened at the beginning of the match, I'm no...

+1000
I stand with every word that Joffa says.
The team is bigger than any individual.

Perth is under a 3 day lockdown from midnight tonight. 3 new Covid cases. Will Brad have to do 14 day quarantine? He was in Perth visiting family. Did he travel in the same plane as any of the 3 ppl who tested positive? Did he get covid n give it to Hunter Clark, who now has 'the flu' but was sent t...

Watch Wilkie go one-on-one for contested ground ball. He can get caught easily if he gets there first. Gets flustered looking for a team-mate to handball it to. I'd say the exact opposite about Wilkie. He's just about the coolest head in a contested situation in the opposition 50. He's a master of ...

We have shown in the past if we can win enough of our own footy we have enough talent to win the game I agree with you, but the comment is correct for any sporting team in the world too. The huge question is, will our guys win clearances but turn it over? Turnovers kill us because our team is runni...

Jack Billings injured his plantar fascis in the warm-up prior to last week's debacle. Ratten didn't say why he wasn't replaced with an emergency, just said it was a great effort to get thru the game. Hunter Clark has the flu and went for a covid test just to make sure it's not the dreaded lurgy. Dar...

Start of 2nd qtr, go walk the dog or sumthin.
Cos in the 1st qtr, Max will kick 1.3, the 3 points will be from 35 in front. The goal will be 50m on a 45° angle

In honour of Tom Hawkins, ARC will be turned off for this game, so the goal umps can use guess work or a coin toss to decide on whether the ball has scraped the goal post
