Re: Ins and Outs
Zac is done. He is what he is. Will not improve. Does a job but ultimately will not be part of our next premiership. Given our history, it's a fair assumption that nobody on our current list will part of our next premiership. :shock: What senior players bring, however, is leadership. Jones, Hill, a...

Re: win banked and move on
We also need to be seen as an attractive option for free agents on the move. Draft picks are not the only option. Are we aiming for top 4 in 2025? Are we flag contenders in 2026? I don't think we're either...so let the development occur organically with a core group of youth aided by the experience...

Re: win banked and move on
The game didn't bookend well for mine. They jumped us at the start, even though we did kick the last three of the quarter, and they went on a run of three unanswered goals in the last quarter before we got the last one. I wanted to see us mainain the pressure until the last siren, but we dropped off...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos
Wood and Hayes suprisingly good. Why is that surprising? First game after a long break, didn't expect much. Maybe that's true with Hayes, but not Wood. Hayes showed in that game why he is so important to our structure. He's a target up front, a relief ruckman, and a cool head. Immensely more valuab...

Our two worst wins last season were WCE and North...Both by 8 points and both teams were barely VFL level when we played them.

Re: Mattaes Phillipou
The Pou and Sheezel were drafted 7 picks apart. Sheezel has averaged almost 30 disposals per game since. The draft isn't linear. I am sure that if we were in North's shoes that we could play the kid on the half back flank where he would be unaccountable and not tagged because he's in a VFL standard...

More likely to fold or merge to keep the clubs at 18 unless the AFL can find a 20th team PDQ.

Things we must do v North
Other than win the game, what must we do this week?
1. Win all four quarters. We can't be sleeping at all. The longer the game goes, the more we should be in front.
2. Win the contested possessions and tackle count.
3. Win the clearances.
What else?

Re: Higgins Alir incident
The AFL have been pressured by medical bodies, legal bodies and the public generally about addressing concussion, and rightly so. It's more than likely that if a player is concussed due to a tackle of any sort from an opposition player, and fails concussion protocols, then it would be hard to talk ...

We are irrelevant, not because of the AFL, we are irrelevant because we are mediocre and other than a few spikes in performance here and there, have been mediocre or worse in our entire history. This is more accurate than we care to acknowledge. We've played (prior to this season) 125 seasons of VF...

Re: Selection over the next couple weeks
King, Hayes, Schoenmaker, and Webster are automatic inclusions. If Marshall is fit, he plays forward with Campbell coming in. Marshall should not attend a centre bounce as a ruckman, but can ruck in the forward half. Hayes to go to the ruck to give Campbell the rest. King, Hayes, and Marshall make u...

How can the impact be severe if the bloke gets up and takes his kick? Surely, severe is when you're KO'd instantly? I would ask what else are players to do in some scenarios? Higgins never once changed his grip on the bloke, never once changed the action, wasn't violent in the tackle. He'd be giving...
