Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season

The opposition coaches have worked Lyon's game out after one and a bit seasons. Similar in a way to 2011 where the strengths of the game plan of 2009/2010 were picked apart by the opposition. Yesterday's man I'm afraid as I feared when they appointed him as coach again. You have it the wrong way ar...

Re: Drafting 25

Geelong won the flags in that era because they had Scarlett and Enright. Either one plays with us and we win flags. We were never going to get Scarlett (F/S) but Corey Enright (6 AAs) at pick 47 was one of the greatest "fluke" picks of all time. We took Caydn Beetham (9) and Jason Blake (2...

Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs

I was a big Ross fan when he came back to the club. After these first 6 weeks he’s lost me. Why? Our team is the least skilled in the AFL. It was only his tactics that got us to finals last year and had us competitive this year. We need 15 players, not 5. Half of our players wouldn't get a game wit...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing

Let's hope he signs quickly - with any other club. Slow, can't take a mark and unskilled by foot. An absolute dud.

Re: Votes v Giants

5 It would be hard to imagine a better captain's game than Jack Steele's today. 4 RoMa's clearance rate was exceptional and his game could only have been capped off if he'd kicked that goal in the last. 3 Brad Hill got it a lot and ran more than most. 2 Jack Sinclair came good in the last when he wa...

An anywhere handpass from Byrnes and a goal. Byrnes tries hard but he has little skill.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2024

Sharman is a complete dud but we are now down to playing duds because of injuries. Owens was possibly robbed of a goal because he marked near the square line not where the umpire placed the mark..

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2024

Sam Taylor out cold. ... Which is bad luck for him but it should have been a free to the Saints player since Taylor ran into the player trying to take the mark. It was a free to Roma on the backline when he pushed straight in the back and they goaled. However, the difference in skills is clear at t...

Ugly football

It was nice that we won, but it was an ugly game, not unlike most of the other games. Two things contributed to this in our case. The first was the tactics. "Smotheration". But, it enabled us to win. The second was the lack of skills. Every time I watch a Melbourne game and see Christian P...

Re: Darcy Wilson

Bit harsh on a 4 gamer don't you think ... Yes. A couple of things to note. He can kick either foot - I'm not even sure what his preferred is. He can take a mark. He fumbled a few times yesterday, once on the back line in the last quarter which could have been crucial. He was immediately surrounded...

Re: Match Thread vs Richmond

We are the least skilful and slowest side in the AFL. Teams usually come back in the second quarter after such a start. This will pretty tell what the rest of the season is likely to look like.

Re: Match thread. Saints V Bombers

Too short on the backline. Unless Roma has time to get back we are in trouble.
