I’ve got ten years

12 home games - two are vs Crows - so cancel them

That’s 480 / 10

Not hard math

The stat they mentioned on commentary was for both Port and The Crows.

WCE differential is embarrassing

Port have had 500 more free kicks at home in the last decade

When averages suggest it should be about even

That would work out at most to about 3 extra per game.

Margin was probably right. Port wasteful at times. Umpiring disgusting. Yes those balance out, but ports kicking was their own doing. I'm not one to log on after every loss and blame the umps but they did determine the outcome tonight. The outcome should be determined by the players. Port's inaccur...

It's all nice to think we got close in losing, but we lost the games and that's all that counts. We played poor football for parts of those losses and even in our two wins- especially against a undermanned Richmond. We have yet to put together a good four quarter game. Agree. My point isn't that we...

The most OTT thing I've read here that hasn't come from B.M. Lucky for me that your opinion of my posts means less to me than mine apparently do to you! If I've overindexed on replying to your posts, I apologise- it hasn't been deliberate. I've just been responding to things over the past few weeks...

Not at all.

I still say that IMHO it would be far better for both club and the Pou if he went home. I would prefer him to go so we could snag one young talented mid. We don't need Pou's 9 touches a game; we need a nice mid getting 20+ Post reminds me of those that want to get rid of King but think we will get ...

Disgusting that Hayes and Schoenmaker aren't given a go. We are going to struggle to kick more than five goals tomorrow night. They have us covered on every single line. A bit OTT don't you think? If we win they will make a sequal to Miracle On Ice. Hayes and Scho would make little difference this ...

Disregarding the fact none of us were happy with last week let's look at the year so far and see if things are as dire as some on here are making things seem. Round 1- 8 point loss to Geelong- currently 1st on the ladder Round 2- win against Collingwood- currently 8th on the ladder Round 3- 4 point ...

It's pathetic isn't it.

Just watched it.

Measured. Ownership. Perspective.

Rated it.

Particularly the point around our horizon.

This time last year there were people getting excited about Hawthorn. 2 months ago many Saints supporters thought were destined to play finals this year, some even believed top 4, and that all of our kids were destined to be A grade or Elite talent. Still could happens but statistics might have a s...

Sorry. Just want to check. Are we looking at West Coast as an example to aspire to? I understand that view 5 years ago but these days.... We could only dream of being a fraction of the richest club in the competition, and by a fair margin and as such an incredibly well resourced and managed organis...

The point is that he is not able to command the contract that he or his manager would expect.

Even this is assumptive. A lot of critical comments without any justification.

How do you guys know the things you do? He is getting his ambition and abilities mixed up? Based on what? A comment he made 2 years ago when he was 17? Honestly, you can be annoyed at selection all you want but the way you're commenting on a young adults character without any evidence is disgusting.

I don't think anyone writes a post on here expecting or even thinking that a player or their family could read it. It's the equivalent of having a chat over a beer at the pub. The reason that most of us live outside of Melbourne is that we don't get it in our day to day. Even as pub chat. It is poor.

If he goes back that is a big f*** you too Ross as he has played him every game and couldn’t have been better to him If he reads this forum (not directed at you) then it isn't going to encourage him to stay.

Membrey kicked 3 goals, he's not going to be dropped. King will come in for either Caminiti or Sharman. Howard sill come in, but Cordy would be stiff to be dropped because he's actually been serviceable to good so far. Butler will need to be replaced so maybe Collard. I agree that Pou needs a spell...

Pou to sub

Next week.

Out: Membrey
In: Hayes/King

Out: Jones
In: Dow

Out: Cordy
In: Howard

Phillipou might make the most sense as sub. Short break means all of Jones (lower level), Garcia (Sub) and Butler (Subbed out) are likely less sore and better rested than the other bench options. Pou could come on and have an impact in a variety of roles and Jones can take the mid time he took last ...

Nothing like an over reaction. Glad some are not on match committee or head of football 74 games and Ave just under 2 goals per game in a team which has made finals once in previous 4 season. Give it some context: Tom Hawkins first 60 games averaged 1.3 goals per game Jack Riewoldt first 68 games a...
