I don’t believe the academy that Sydney have is a good excuse for their consistency. We’ve seen Gold Coast and GWS with loads of help, and they can’t make a go of it like Sydney. I think it is coaching culture too. Remember Ross Lyon was also part of that too, and I think St Kilda benefited for it....

They have a remarkable culture, one that is increasingly perpetual, and engrained in the fabric of the club. They're either in contention to win flags or putting maximum development into players capable of winning flags. They're the benchmark for consistency. They put all the framework in place to ...

He's an a grade mid at the beginning of his prime. We should absolutely go after him. Steele, Taranto, Crouch, Jones, Gresham, Sinclair and Clark would be a formidable midfield. We can't afford to be trading 2 first round draft picks for one player. How about we take two first round draft picks to ...

When will Long get a look in??

I can't see us winning 11 games but I would be happy to be wrong. I think Ratts will get another extension unless we free fall & finish bottom 4 . I doubt that will happen but if that does eventuate he will be in trouble then IMO. Remember Malthouse coaching Carlton, saying at start of a season...

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/03/30/clubs-expected-to-come-very-hard-for-giants-midfielder/ Should we be targetting a player like Taranto - if so what are we prepared to give up? The going rate seems to be a 1st round pick - plus? I dont rate Leon Cameron as an AFL coach at all, with the talent ...

Hill should play wing. He is not a defenders bootlace

So Ratts has not selected Sharman and Highmore again. What a deadset flog of a coach!!!!!! I think he would prefer to get Hanners out of the hospital bed than play Highmore or Sharman- don't forget how sh*thouse Sharman was near the end of last season. That's true, Hanners has better form than Shar...

I can't believe that Sharman and Highmore have been overlooked again.

I think we’ll come back to earth with a thud this week and people will be calling for Ratts head, but let’s put into perspective how we won last week and who our opposition was. Freo’s pressure rating was among the lowest for any team this year. Their second efforts and tackling numbers were way be...

Are you some kind of a troll? Tasmania want their own team. Apart from Webster (ex Tasmanian) who at our club would want to move down to be based in Tassie? We finally have first class facilities at Moorabbin and you think uprooting everything to move to Tassie is a reasonable idea? Show me where I...

Has to be said - why are we not ( if we are not) looking at Clarkson for 2023 ? Ratten clearly not impressing many since 2020, me included. Selection, game style, consistency and development. Things that make me sad. The only time we ever seem to have an improvement is bringing in players. Highmore...

I hope so.

Caro knows her stuff.

Why do we keep drafting players with existing injuries? Is it because our medical doctors are narcissists?

The odore is back amongst us. The topics are this forum's buttons and they are being pressed. These topics (games), Trade a Saint, Relocation to, Pick up talented bad boy, Spill a Board, to Thomas or not to Thomas, Laud a Lyon are all games that get brought out and played in their own time during a...

…and why can’t we? https://www.sen.com.au/ In case link doesn’t work - Garry Lyon and Tim Watson…ask why St Kilda and Essendon are on/off teams and Sydney are the benchmark of consistency. Please tell Lyon and Watson to stuff Sydney's academy up their arse. Maybe then they might realize/admit that ...

a pick in the 20's for Membrey, would you take it? I would!!! Sharman takes his spot and we use the pick on a mid. Thoughts??? It’s a great idea if you don’t rate loyalty, leadership, durability and a very good B+ grade AFL player. I do rate loyalty, durability and a very good B+ player. The proble...

We’ve seen it before.

Ya think it will cool the let’s-get-Clarko hounds?

It actually enhances Clarko's market value.
