Re: Changes for Dees game
Out: Jones, Collard, Sharman and Paton In: Higgins, Sebby, Skunk and Clark I'd like to see both Lance boy and Coops play another game in the seniors. It's pointless bringing them in for just 1 game ...but we know what will probably happen I’d like to “see” Collard playing in the seniors. In 1.5 gam...

Re: Sack Lyon
I can simplify the above Fremantle used the ball cleanly. They knew where each other were when they had the ball in their hands and they gave it off to them. They had a good system of disposal that any good Club should have Thanks: sorry I did get a bit verbose there. There's something quite defens...

Re: Sack Lyon
The only good thing about last night was our defensive setup continuing to work well, as it has done for a few years now: it started to come good in 2021 and is largely the work of Enright. We are quite capable of containing the scoring of opponents to a level that we could beat if we could actually...

Re: Sack Lyon
I expect he’ll be referred to as “embattled Saints coach, Ross Lyon” by someone in the media this week.
But I reckon he’ll need a few more bad losses before the board will act.

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
Battle has been excellent. Marshall, Windhager and Wilson too. NWM hasn't had one of his better games so far. If he can lift in the last quarter, we might get across the line.
It's nice to come up against a team that blows even more of its chances than we do.

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
And I'm not sure why the first player to be criticised is Howard. Our main problems tonight do not lie with our defence. Nor our midfield, which is performing unexpectedly well. It's very difficult to defend against a sudden counter attack which comes about from a totally unexpected turnover up forw...

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
New bunch of forwards, same messy structure. Freo are setting up most of their goals from mistakes we make inside or just outside our forward 50. The biggest weakness in our coaching structure is bleedingly obvious tonight. Dow has improved things in the midfield and Windhager is having an excellent...

On the basis of what we've seen so far, Freo have better players than us. But there's not a huge amount in it.

Re: saints interested in players already
For so many years, I have read posts on here about how we are about to land some big name players at the Saints. But it doesn't really happen that often, does it? Hamill and Gehrig were exceptions. Adam Schneider to a certain extent, although he wasn't in any great demand from clubs when he came to ...

Re: Team vs Freo (Walyalup)
For mine, the lineup is better in some respects, but disappointing in others. But I always find it best to defer to the club's understanding of where individual players are at:not only in terms of how they have played in the AFL or VFL, but in training, mental attitude, etc. Assuming all of these pl...

Re: As much as I loathe them maybe we should throw caution to the wind...
We are currently playing more inexperienced players in our AFL lineup than is ideal. If you have too many, the team is just going to get clobbered, and young players aren't going to learn particularly well in that situation. In NRL, a longstanding coaching strategy is that, if you have a few good yo...

Re: Chasing Weitering
Bizarre.
Our defence is the best part of our list. We’ve even got done young defenders with a bit of potential: Keeler, Schornmaker, O’Connell.
Keeping Battle is surely the main priority ATM.

Re: Byrnes for Zebs
Byrnes's disposal by hand and foot is not up to AFL standard, and no amount of time playing in any position in the VFL is going to fix that. He's lucky to be playing at the Saints in 2024. Lyon is one of the few coaches of the AFL in recent decades who will tolerate players with such low skill level...

All of them have their points, but we've got players coming through now who are likely to be as good or better. I'm bothered more about the 2009 to 2016 period,when we...
