Re: The Hunter headclash

There’s too many old fashion people in positions of power in clubland and the media (including a few imbeciles like Michael Christian at AFL headquarters) who have taken the side of traditionalists and have ignored ‘duty of care’ and the ‘head is sacrosanct’. Those 2 phrases have become empty and ho...

Re: Thursdays Saints question time?

A few of us have said for quite a while that you can’t take short cuts. The foundations were weak. Too many factions. Too many diverse groups and too many imports brought in too quickly. Even some of the coaches and football operations staff are relatively new. Team unity and player disenchantment i...

Re: The Hunter headclash

You still don't get it There was an awkward bounce where Hunter didn't immediately get both hands on footy which creates the perception (half a second later when you're pausing it) that Mackay is a chance to contest Half a second before the impact, Clark has head over the ball and it's less than a ...

Re: Max King turns down goal kicking help.

Roughead chose not to do his regular Wednesday night slot on AFL 360. I was disappointed that the club and Roughy didn’t have the balls to answer questions that all Saints fans want answered Roughy probably doesn’t get paid anything substantial from Foxfooty so I suppose he couldn’t be stuffed answe...

Re: keeps getting worse

Apart from the broken leg injury to Ben, the others should be available in the short to medium term. There have been many instances of players being fresher at the pointy end of the season and teams going on to win premierships. I remember the Dogggies in '16 had a shocking run of injuries that year...

Re: Captaincy thoughts?

No point going backwards or sideways. Aim high Sainters and make symbolic changes

I still think we need experience for his deputies and for vice captaincy role (Membrey for mine) but give Steele the captaincy I reckon

Clark along with Marshall and Ben Long also to be elevated to leadership squad
