Which would you prefer? The opposition ruckman hacks the ball 40 meters in their direction to a contest .. or .. Marshall hacks the ball 40 meters in our direction to a contest? With the Marshall scenario, the ball is 80 meters closer to our goal, and it's to a contest. So the question should be, ho...

Only watched the 2nd half, a lot to like from a Saints perspective.

Garcia looks all class, hard to understand why he was dropped.

Couch and Hunter Clark also looked good.

Allison kicked 5, and Keeler looked good. Keeler might be good, he moves with a lot of poise for a tall guy.

There is no way Boner the Butcher should kick out.

We have Sinclair and Wanganeen who are capable.

I'd like to say the game plan sucks, but to be honest I just don't understand the game plan. Am I stupid? Do the players understand the plan or are they too dumb? Serious question; can anybody please describe the actual game plan? The next question is: Is there a plan B? And is the game plan actuall...

On Collard's selection ... he didn't have a great game v Box Hill but it was clear that we missed having a specialist small forward last week v Hawks ..... he is currently the only one we have available to pick Hopefully he doesn't start as the sub Lets hope the selection is not a 'token' in acknow...

Make sure we keep Battle and Windhager. Recruit another batch of decent kids. Then look for a couple of quality mids ..like Butters, Gulden or Tom Green .. hopefully around age 23-24 Then a couple of free agents to 'complete' the list so it's good for the next 4-5 years. Oh, we may also need a new c...

Usually where there's smoke there's fire .. King and Owens have both been disappointing this season, and so has Philipou. Actually the whole squad has been quite disappointing, some may suggest lacking passion and positive energy. Some supporters, like me, are frustrated with our game style. It's qu...

Perhaps Enright in for Lyon may provide a more positive game plan ..

Going down for a butchers hook on Sunday..


... did you mean .. going down to look at the butchers on Sunday?

Like Battle forward

Missing Philipou?

Webster back in the team adds a bit more grunt

Perhaps it just the name .. but I reckon Hunter Clark is built like former Carlton legend Ken Hunter.

Hopefully Henry is back, probably at the expense of Hastie. I'd also like to give Shoemaker a game in his home state, possibly at the expense of Cordy. Philipou is an interesting one, I was at the game against North and he seemed to be running good patterns, he wasn't really beaten badly in one-on-o...

The question of forward craft warrants discussion. It was encouraging to see Jack Hayes actually lead toward the ball carrier on a few occasions. This has been lacking, by most, possibly with the exception of Jack Higgins. Max King rarely leads, but rather presents himself as a contested marking opt...

If he were a racehorse, he be straight to the paddock. Three Group races in 12 days, will slaughter and promising young colt.

No Curly, we need some players forward.

Agree that something needs to change, but I'm not sure it's just the forward coach. Our forwards don't mark on the lead, mostly because they don't lead. And the main reason they don't lead is because they're up at the wrong end of the ground. And the reason they're at the wrong end of the ground is ...

Looks like King is out and Zac is in.

Dogs will be without Liberatore and Ugle-Hagen.

Complete excrement!
Greene's tackle on Andrew looked like slow motion. Absolutely nothing in it...Barely a free kick.

bulls***. Head hit the ground and arms pinned.

Even Toby himself was surprised, assumed he'd get a week.

The surprise I'd like is a revamp of the forwardline. Pick a smaller brigade (drop both Membrey and Sharman) with pace. Butler out for lack of impact. The tall forwards aren't taking advantage of the height difference in the matchups it creates, so try something else. Out: Butler, Sharman, Membrey ...

Garcia has already done more than Butler

Is it just me, or did the media heap praise on "The battling, undermanned, Tigers", while conveniently ignoring our lengthy list of unavailable players? This is a hangover from last year, when our amazing performances were rarely, if ever, attributed to the ability of our underrated list....

4. Battle
3. Marshall
2. Steele
1. Wanganeen
1 Wilke
1 Sinclair
1 Wilson (his best game, possible rising star this week)
1 Cordy (best game at St Kilda)
1 Phillipou

sloppy start
