I got it when it first came out, but I found there was too much buffering, so paid the extra and went to Foxtel. Has Kayo improved? Of course it has, because internet speeds have improved, and the processing power of computer chips has improved with devices and smart TV's If the dickheads who built...

Sounds very similar to the way Collingwood play.

Maybe an internal promotion?

If you have a great tank and/or quick, there’s a fair chance you’ll be a chance to get a game under the boss. Running is a massive part of the pre season thus far, with emphasis on endurance and repeat 400 metre runs. Our game will be based on run and spread, so the endurance beasts such as Wood, W...

Even at SANFL level??

He needs to earn a spot through performances in the seconds imo

He has done nothing at this point in time.

Yes he has played a handful of senior SANFL games

It will be good for the team in the long run. It may also give someone like Sharman a chance to cement a spot.

We can't be too dependent on King every match,

Great to here.

I was thinking today that the 2 things that potentially hold Higgins back are 1 his finishing and 2 his speed and fitness.

If he can improve his speed and fitness that would go a long way to elevating his game.

2 small forwards is fine its the fact neither offers much pressure or pace that's an issue.

There are no quick fixes.

Our road to recovery is in the draft and we need to do it well.

The question has to be asked why Peris wasn't our rep.

Only 12M in dept! But we do have the Pride Game! At least get your facts right. We wiped 4.2m off our debt last year and we're on track to do a similar this year. As it stands our debt in our last financial report was $9,562,300 not 12m :roll: Now that our big expenses are gone and we have got rid ...

You’d be hoping it concludes that a general lift in standards might be key to seeing us rise up the ladder. A few days back I listened to the Saints TV podcast where they interviewed Jack Sinclair. He was chatting away about his eating habits pre game and post game and was whacking on about burgers...

A game plan that doesn't JUST rely on pressure - Needs to have other strings to its bow than just pressure.

Because no team is going to bring pressure 22 weeks of the season and we need to be able to kick goals and stay competitive when the pressure isn't there.

Don't know about Lade but the idea that the reason we are not kicking score is down to him isn't at all fair.

The forward line function is 90% dependent on upfield ball movement.

Rumours of homesickness- did they come out of thin air?

Basically yes.

They come from fellows like yourself speculating because he hasn't signed an extension. That's it. That's all there is too it

There is no credible substance to the rumor he wants to go home just people making assumptions. If he wasn't from SA no one would even care that he hasn't extended his contract yet.

Can we be a little smarter and just not? At least wait until there is something credible out there to back it up.

I'm not emotionally invested yet.

We start winning and I'll start following them. Once I'm hooked then I will be for life.

Haha, what a load of BS.. tell me where you heard this?

The players would have sweet f*** all to do with him 99% of the time.

He's not even been in the role very long, not long enough to say he's done well or poorly.

These rumors only serve to damage our club. Good one OP

Next year I see him playing mainly up forward because he's shown his versatility down there and we need someone like him in the forward line.

Eventually he's got the attributes to be our Patty Cripps

It does but I would take it.

I dunno if Lade is any good or not but it has to be said the main issue is whats happening up the ground

No.

His stocks are at an all-time low. We wouldn't get much for him

I think we back him to get fit and healthy and back him in to improve

These figures are rubbish. Hill for one had a front-loaded contract and like everyone in the team took a 7.5% pay cut post-Covid. There is no way he's still on anything like that. My guess is he's now on much less due to the front loading of his contract and the pay cut and now he's looking to move ...

Clearly been taken over by Wilkie as our number 1 defender. People just look at his size and give him a pass. Gets beaten in too many one-on-ones, plays too loose on his opponents, gets lost in no man’s land too often. And he’s always looking around for someone to blame. Agreed, I feel like we are ...

It's only a rumor because of threads like this that perpetuate it.
