Re: Sinclair and Acres the drifters

Sincs and Acres spend 80% time on ground as forwards Wingman this year have been Billings, Newnes, Hannebury, Paton and a few other here an there I agree, they under perform though, even though the average HF get 15-20ppg due to structural positioning, they can’t just ball hunt. Acres is the classic...

Playing HF, terrible place to play at StK

Both are wings/mids... Sinclair can play small forward but is better up the ground

Re: Priority Pick

No compensation

So when Billings walks as a free agent we get zero for him
And Essendon get an A Grader for nothing?

So big clubs continually get fed top 25yo players developed by poor clubs who receive zero compensation

If you lose a valuable commodity you should get something in return

Re: Hannebury Hamstring Awareness & Lethlean

If he gets to 2017 stats, I’d be ok with that. They were better than all our Mids bar Steven and Ross, and he’s a better user than Ross and possibly Steven. His 2015-16 numbers were worth over a million 700+ possessions and 20+ Brownlow votes both seasons and the AFL Coaches award He did get a 4 yea...

Re: Brad Scott to be announced as Saints coach in August

Not sure, apparently a connection through the Ammos?

Don’t know if Scott ever played Ammos though, he went to school at St Kevins and was recruited as an 18yo to Hawthorn.

Simon Lethlean played with and coached Old Xavs in the 90s/00s

Not sure the connection?

The line coaches are very responsible for each line they look after. It’s not the old days where there is one authoritarian in charge.

Well if Alan Richardson is held accountable for team performance, so should Ratten be given he is the forward line that cannot kick a score, even when there is i50s I think Ratten can most probably coach, but his rating by our supporters is over the top.

Re: Jack Steele

I don’t care to much for poetry, but I do get what an inference is... in this case the inference that his possessions don’t count, which I think is garbage. What’s the role of a midfielder? To find the footy, a mid that doesn’t get the ball is pretty useless, because it’s safe to assume his opponent...

Re: Jack Steele

I have thought about it, it made no sense.

If you have possession of the ball in a game, the opposition do not have the ball, hence the term meaningless possession is a strange description.

Easy possession (Mark from a backward kick) or inefficient possession, Clanger. Yes.
