Re: Challenge to Saints fans...list our 2021 best 22

Whom do I trim? Potentially unpopular opinion - I'd drop Carlisle from that team. I'd much prefer to play Battle, either in defence or dropping back from the wing. Much as I wanted Clark in the middle, I don't think it's happening this year with Crouch coming in. I think we'll start Crouch/Ross/Ste...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Semi Final 2020

Should be a couple of goals closer.

I don't want to sound like a sook, but umpiring seas much better that quarter.

I don't mind losing, just want a level playing field.

You'd like to think so, but I doubt it.
Was reckless, high and medium impact.
Potential for injury off the charts.

Re: Ben Long One Week

Time to get some people that actually know some basic physics.

The average head weights about 5kg. Doesn't take much to make it move.

Walk very slowly into something at head height and your whole body won't stop but your noggin will.

Re: Ben Long One Week

The AFL makes a point to say the jurors don't need to speculate but they must "give consideration" to the possibility of causing serious injury. This is interesting. If I can be a smart rear end, then this could mean the end to ruck contests, tackling, screamers, backing into packs, lacin...

Re: Keys to beating the dogs

Paddy Ryder is a key to this game. I am 100% with you on Ryder. I truly believe he is the most important player for us in this final series. His ruck work can be sublime, and that can not only bring our midfield into the game it can take away any opposition midfield advantage. Now, he is no Longer....

Re: Paddy, fit and symptom free.

For Paddy's health I hope his friends and family can steer him away from contact sport. To the people that say he never showed anything, well they obviously missed his early games. He was pretty exciting in his first few outings. Didn't people call him Mac'Clunkin' ? I think a lot of people are usin...

Re: King Mentor

An experienced head could be a massive boom for King. But I worry about how it would effect the balance of the team. Ryder has shown how much impact a quality ruckman can bring. If we get a key forward to mentor King it could push Ryder out of the team and leave Marshall our sole ruckman. Now I love...

Re: Keys to beating the dogs

- English - When dogs win he plays well, when he gets beat they get beat. Young version of McEvoy IMO, moves well around the ground, good mark, but not physical and poor at tap work. Ryder and Marshall must jump into him every chance they get. I am a ruck tragic, but I do seriously believe that our...

Agree with that.

Savage, Bytel or Hind would probably get the nod, but I think Parker brings more danger and we should just go for it. Nothing to lose now.

Re: Votes v GWS

5 - Steele. What a season 4 - Marshall. Already a gun, possible superstar. 3 - Clark. Keep him in the action please 1 - Paton. Prune juice couldn't release him from his opponents 1 - Coffield. Wow. Has the potential to be our best player. 1 - Ryder. May be our most important player going into finals.
