Re: Jack Newnes

Mods- please move this to the Opposition thread. This bloke needs to be consigned to our history bin. 150 games, 148 of which were either sub-par or par at best. His hair however.... consistently Elite.

Rd 3,1997 v Collingwood

If anyone wants a laugh - watch this game and feast your ears on Peter McKenna commentating on Collingwood losing to us, after we copped a bath the week before.

Pure hilarity.

Re: Jack Newnes

Many on here calling him a spud. Maybe. He has played 150 odd games - some decent ones in there somewhere, and yes should have spent more time at Sandy. Now we replace him with what? - another clubs spud or our 3rd pick in the draft which is what - pick 100 odd? For me , I would have kept him , pla...

Re: Hill Deal Done _Details

So Hill for 10, 20-odd and 58.

Acres was worth no more than the third rounder we got back.

Much better than the 2 first rounders Belly was asking for. Sometimes you need to pay overs to kick-start a rebuild. Not unhappy.

Re: Mav Weller retired

Seems like he enjoyed his year at the tigers. Played some good footy with us early, got pigeon holed as a defensive Forward and once that happens, you are done... ask Jack Newnes. In fact, there are similarities between the two of them and their time at StK. Both ended up defensive forwards, and lo...

Re: Bruce Requests trade to Dogs

I suspect that Ratts doesn't rate Bruce as much as some Saints fans, plus a more mature player like Bruce who hasn't played finals and is in a lowly team, will look at any opportunity offered to play in finals in the near future, and it usually means changing clubs. We will still be middle of the p...

What is REALLY the problem?

With Ross Lyon? The bloke left us, because we faffed about with a contract renewal, when he was fiscally broken. He got us to two consecutive GFs and, with a bit of luck, and hindsight, would have been a dual-premiership coach. He proceeded to get FREMANTLE to a GF, and came up against one of the be...

Pffffffft - re: 1 - If I had Jack Newnes right in front of me, I'd give him an absolute earful about how insipid he is. Just because someone is better at a particularly skillset, doesn't mean others cannot critique it. By that logic, no AFL coach who was "worse" than their player back in t...

Pardon the formatting - posted on my phone.... But who are the butchers Ratts alludes to you reckon? Just a gut feel, but anyone kicking at less than 2/3 is surely killing us, given the counter-attack age we live in.

Re: Has today's heavy loss hurt Ratten's chances??

Got no problem with Brad Scott, IF he is the best out there.

I just watched the coach’s summary, and I feel that Ratten would be a great choice.

The strong statement about moving players out that can’t hit targets/execute is enough for me.

Re: Coaching 10, Effort 10, Skill 0

Lots of effort again but we are still not clinical in the forward half. Crows also took their chances in front if goal and we didn't. That was the difference in the end as we dominated periods of the game. Crows are currently a top 8 side so we aren't that far off being one possibly. We need to get...
