Re: Ratten and leadership

He shouldn’t ask for Playfair’s input, he should demand he fix it?!

Not too sure that’s how you communicate as a leader

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

I was under 5he impression they went away from the ball movement and transition when they got rid of Kingsley. And Alan Richardson focussed on that in his position of Head Coach when coming up with the game plan (in conjunction with all coaches) they would also have together worked out how they want...

Re: Hannebury Hamstring Awareness & Lethlean

We had 1.4 to spend on Sheil last year (after taking DH) and didn’t do so. It was well documented that we had a war chest, and did not use it. I’m guessing Billings and Gresh got a nice pay rise for next year. That being said, McCartin, Armitage, Longer and probably Roberto & Steven will be off ...

Billings signed for 2 for a reason

He’s a free agent after that, and can choose his destination and price

Re: Jack Steele

Cho turned him into a D Grader?! How exactly did he do that, did he make him play bad? That must mean he made him play well in 2016/2017 And he did play very well in those years And his lack of performance is way overplayed, he’s still finding the footy, perhaps not using it as well as he could.

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

Lade is from Port

He went their the year after they finished in the 8 and was there when they missed the finals, now he’s left there back in the 8

I think you’ll find a similar trend at Richmond.

Maybe a coincidence but slow ball movement follows him.

Re: Sinclair and Acres the drifters

How do we know it’s not Acres fault that he hasn’t commanded a position through sketchy form? Chicken or egg?! He is definitely a tease, that doesn’t always deliver. I do know he is not used through the middle much due to his defensive work without the ball, he just hunts the footy without a defensi...

Re: Hannebury Hamstring Awareness & Lethlean

Dan Hannebury has played two games coming back from injury (every AFL player gets injured, except Boomer)
Had 50 disposals and looked a class above our mids around the footy.

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...

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: 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?
